So couldn't it be Warren Traveller, if he had parlayed his low-level psychic powers int oa more serious study of the mystic arts? <BR/><BR/>Either that or no one involved in this ocmic has read any 90s Spider-Man, and is unaware of the resemblence. I'd bet on the latter.Tegan O'Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14815842488966694944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19932777.post-1151609982778619852006-06-29T14:39:00.000-05:002006-06-29T14:39:00.000-05:00My 2 (or 3 ) cents...WHEN did Wong grow all that H...My 2 (or 3 ) cents...<BR/><BR/>WHEN did Wong grow all that HAIR?<BR/><BR/>I guess he stopped shaving his head.<BR/>Does that mean he left the "order" that he belonged to? <BR/>His father (Hamir the Hermit) took care of the Ancient one as his father before him and so on...in a Mystic Order of Service to all of the Ancient One's Order.<BR/><BR/>Is this due to the crumbled relationship between DOC and Wong (that no one at Marvel knows is either "fixed" now or not or what?<BR/><BR/>OR was it just an artist who had no reason to do...oh I dunno...RESEARCH?<BR/><BR/>Also, WHY is the WAND of WATOOMB so friggin BIG?!<BR/>(and the WINGS of NEEDLESS SORROW for that matter - see the big blue wings above the mantle? That's it.)<BR/><BR/>The WAND was always the length of about 6 or 7 inches - tops!<BR/>And the WINGS would fit in the PALM of your hand.<BR/><BR/>The fact that the WINGS are pictured there AT ALL means that the artist MUST have had SOME visual reference?<BR/><BR/>However, if I recall...Wong wasn't IN those issues (Strange Tales vol 2), so this artist may NOT have bothered to go any further than that.<BR/><BR/>I dunno.<BR/>Too many visual gaffs (to go with the story gaffs you mentioned).<BR/><BR/>SOMEONE do your damn homework.<BR/>Or at the VERY least, if something is changed dramatically...make some kind of NOTE somewhere. Have someone SAY something about it. Even a single comment.<BR/><BR/>With all the "decompression" going on, it seems to be all the extra space is filled with nothing of substance.<BR/><BR/>gah!<BR/><BR/>~P~<BR/>P-TORAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19932777.post-1150666009323663632006-06-18T16:26:00.000-05:002006-06-18T16:26:00.000-05:00The current Supergirl hasn't really been given a c...The current Supergirl hasn't really been given a chance to interact with normal people. She's either off in the 30th century (and written very well) or fighting evil clones (and written not so well) or stuck in Kandor (jury's out.)<BR/><BR/>For such an ostensibly popular character, DC needs to settle on a direction for Kara and fast.<BR/><BR/>And, call me old fashioned, but as much as I loved PAD's Supergirl I always considered Silver-Age Kara the "real" Linda Danvers.<BR/><BR/>And yes, Marvel is taking a shot at DC. A pretty good one, actually.Marc Burkhardthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06949686463975572297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19932777.post-1150611422735041352006-06-18T01:17:00.000-05:002006-06-18T01:17:00.000-05:00Hmm...I've actually been wondering the same thing ...Hmm...I've actually been wondering the same thing about Traveller.

She was later adopted by the Danvers family. Hence "Linda Danvers."<BR/><BR/>I think post-Crisis Linda was probably retconned out so Kara can have her secret identity back. Which is a shame, Linda was much more interesting...and sadly, might have been able to stick around with a different name.kalinarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01417686761943716312noreply@blogger.com
