And yes, the fact that there were multiple incarnations of the Conglomerate is just one of many reasons why not everyone can be allowed into Heaven.<BR/><BR/>As with Hal Jordan going insane and killing the Corps, if you go digging, you can find precident for Omni-Gypsy. It's not good or right to do, but if you squint real hard you can read just about anything in text. That said, Gypsy becoming intangible only feeds that nonsense Ostrander came up with regarding Gypsy being part Martian. I refuse to accept that on the grounds of it being retarded. In fact, I move for a mistrial!Diabolu Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685199809207954223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-54584067965504328392007-12-17T17:49:00.000-06:002007-12-17T17:49:00.000-06:00Wouldn't everyone's destiny involve being dead in ...Wouldn't everyone's destiny involve being dead in the future? Except maybe, like Professor Ivo or someone like that?<BR/><BR/><I>Steel: ... Beat up one old man, and contributed to the fatal coronary of another.</I><BR/><BR/>Yeah! Stick it to the old bastards, Steel!<BR/><BR/>I hope the Final Crisis brings back Vibe somehow. Vibe of Earth-2 or something. He deserves another shot. I mean, Vixen's still in the JLA, Steel's cousin is kicking it with the JSA, and Gypsy has been seen working with the BoP. Why not Vibe? (Marvel brought Bucky F'n Barnes back to life and everyone went apeshit for it, after all.)<BR/><BR/>One has to assume that Gypsy's rise to power is part of that classic motif of "writer's favorite is <I>obviously</I> the strongest," as you say. I like Gypsy, but she shouldn't be uber-powerful. About the only upgrade power which I think makes sense for her is that on <I>Justice League Unlimited</I> she was shown to be able to phase through a wall like Kitty Pryde. <BR/><BR/>This arc sounds very strange.
