Starts out solo against the JLA, then as part of a group. Drops to the New Teen Titans solo, then with help. Much later the Teen Titans, and finally as part of the collective that killed a one man JLA. I figure the point is moot now, though.<br /><br />I actually like Weapons Master. He is to the Chromium Age as Human Squirrel is to the Silver.Diabolu Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685199809207954223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-82127249213064142662010-03-02T23:42:24.424-06:002010-03-02T23:42:24.424-06:00Dunster would be fun to see pop up again, because ...Dunster would be fun to see pop up again, because he's so normal.<br /><br />The Bloodworms are pretty cool, and I rather liked J'onn's use of his powers in dealing with them. That said, I'd monkey with their origin a lot. It seems like Mars only had one epoch, even when they were talking about the distant past. Ah, well.<br /><br />Diabolu is actually kind of awesome, and would be fun, at least in passing. Is this J'onn's only magical foe?<br /><br />Dr Light is more the Atom's sparring partner, isn't he?<br /><br />As I've said before, I like Doomsday, and a solid ass kicking should be handed out to him sooner than later by the Alien Atlas.<br /><br />I still haven't read that Showcase. Gotta do that.<br /><br />Effigy is pretty cool, but I'm ignorant of Kyle's solo adventures, so beyond the obvious...<br /><br />Fernus....You know in light of the events of Blackest Night #7, the whole Guardians warring with and then genetically engineering the Martians takes on some interesting connotations. I don't totally approve of Johns' making earth the source of life, but I could work with it.<br /><br />Human Squirrel. He and Mister Moth have that cool Silver Age Bat villain thing going on. I can dig it.<br /><br />Hyperclan as individuals were ruined by the reveal, but I agree that their loss of individuality in subsequent appearances was a bad(and lazy) move.<br /><br />Invaders...it's funny how many of "Alien" villains in the silver age were defined by colored skin, and how many I have no idea about because I've only read the showcase volumes.<br /><br />Monty Moran has potential, mostly because of his awesome facial hair.<br /><br />Weapons Master...what a loser.mathematicscorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15439579069513071094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-2996664720318219022010-03-02T22:10:52.137-06:002010-03-02T22:10:52.137-06:00Somebody besides me actually voted for Mr. Moth.Somebody besides me actually voted for Mr. Moth.Tomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-52597769133831690102010-03-01T21:23:15.252-06:002010-03-01T21:23:15.252-06:00Bwahaha.

A really important moment in J'onn's character development, too, since he chooses to stay on Earth and catch the crook rather than go home, and the art really rocked in that issue, too. I loved those early issues. Sigh.
