293 – Absorbing Man
Crusher Creel, aka The Absorbing Man, aka not Nick Nolte. Back in Junior High I was buying Marvel Universe trading cards, and I remember my friends and I seeing the Absorbing Man card (If I remember correctly, done by Art Adams). They had power stats and things on the back of the cards, including one …
291 – Wonder Man
My final Wonder Man, the ionic, living Kirby Krackle version.
290 – Wonder Man
This is the (mostly) the costume Wonder Man wore when I first was introduced to the character in John Byrne’s West Coast Avengers. Sans mullet, though. Because, y’know. Mullet.
289 – Wonder Man
Hollywood/Safari outfit, which I think is awesome.
287 – Wonder Man
Simon Williams in his original Wonder Man costume, when he was an undercover bad guy. Or something. The Avengers should have known he was a villain, because no heroes in the Marvel Universe wear green, only bad guys. If Wonder Man were in the DCU he’d be a mega-good guy. They love green over there. …
286 – Wolverine
Old school whisker-mask, small eye-piece Wolverine. Also, I shortened the gloves and the flares on his boots. I went ahead and made his teeth metal, because they would be, right? No one ever mentions this. He could absotively bite the shit out of people. Finally, I’ve always thought that his mutton-chops should stick out of …
284 – Darkhawk
Another non-DC request for Joe G., another character who I am mostly unfamiliar with, having only read a few issues that guest-starred bigger characters.
283 – Sleepwalker
A non-DC request from Joe Grunenwald! I’m fairly certain he doesn’t remember asking for this! I don’t know a thing about Sleepwalker, I think I read maybe three issues of his book in the early 90s, probably because Wolverine, Spider-Man, Ghost Rider or The Punisher guest-starred.
282 – Flatman
Back in the early 90s, John Byrne did a run on West Coast Avengers (Avengers West Coast?) that I absolutely loved, and part of his run was the introduction of The Great Lakes Avengers, a ridiculous team of Midwestern Superheroes who actually turned out to be pretty competent and powerful. Hawkeye and Mockingbird both left …
