    Prime

    Prototype

    Maybe not Prime... 😬😱

    Is there something about Prime I'm not remembering?

    Well you had the whole Big thing going on but in this case Prime was mentally a 13 year old but is physically an adult and messing around with a 13 year old girl who has a crush on his adult self. I am sure it was handled sensibly so as not to give the impression that...oh wait no it was the 90s. I'm sure it was fine. Oh wait...then Prime creator Gerard Jones was arrested for possession of 600 child pornography files Which I am sure was just for research....oh he uploaded them to YouTube. So Prime absolutely wasn't created with a backdrop of any of that unless, well I guess he had sort of been??? It probably sounds worst than it was...

    Also Night Man may have the most pointless superpower ever which he never uses because of his kickass suit and cars and also he plays the saxophone which is again, too 90s to survive in this, our troubled future.

    We definitely need night man, that way they can introduce Day Man: Fighter of the Night Man, Champion of the Sun.

    The Chairman. Windsor Glastonbury probably fits the bill as weird characters.
    He had a gun that could turn people into chairs.

    Those Marvel / Hostess ads are weird :D

    Did anyone else have this digest-sized YA illustrated novel, in which Spider-Man fights Mr. Zodiac? It is bonkers, and Mr. Zodiac, in his only appearrance?, shows offs some weird, weird abilities!

    Prime was a variation on Captain Marvel (DC) with a kid being in an adult body. For Prime, he could envision what his superhero self would look like. It's an interesting story to be told, but I'll agree that a pedophile isn't going to give us a sensible and nuanced point of view. Night Man also had a horrible TV show.

    Mostly I just want Sludge.

    Malibu Comics...yeah. Let's not even talk about what they did to the Street Fighter characters.

    Speaking of Sludges, I know we can't have any Transformers but we could have Circuit Breaker from the Transformers comic book! She is in the same category as Death's Head where Marvel made sure she appeared in a non TF comic book first so was excluded from the Hasbro deal! I suppose it would be a bit weird that she doesn't have any giant robots to hate on, maybe she could send Machine Man rude emails. Of course it is possible nobody cares about Circuit Breaker so...

    Hmm...who else? Water Wizard - I have never read a single comic book with him, have no idea what he does apart from water stuff but he has gotta be weirdly cool right? I may now have to go and find a comic book with him in sndvrepirt back.

    I also always sort of liked Nebulon coz he was so sparkly and shiny but also looked like a giant space slug in his true form. I remember as a kid where there was a comic where Thor finds him in the Arctic for some reason and invites him to join the Avengers (Thor seems to do this a LOT to any random people he meets without checking with anyone first) and then there was a Lady Nebulon who got the Defenders to attack the Avengers for more reasons and then it turned out Nebulon was betraying them anyway and then space slugs. Good times.

    Oooh, I know Master Pandemonium - he has detachable demons for legs and arms that would be fun! Well probably not for him so much I guess.

    I did a Google search for Water Wizard to find an issue to look at on Marvel Unlimited and a plumbing company, swim school and irrigation company have come up so far. This feels like a bad start to my quest.

    Oh. OK now he is called Aqueduct. Jesus.

    Oh geez...well fine, I guess we don't need Water Wizard. So many missed opportunities though - he has a henchman called Mole which surely should have been Vole?!?!? And his origin strangely features a boat, lightning and a "device" but not directly water. Why is he not Boat Wizard? Actually there is no magic in any of this. So Boat Guy.

    Groo the Wanderer

    Marvel never owned him, Groo belongs to Sergio Aragones so no chance there as he is licensed to various others.

    Me. They were called Big Little Books in Canada and the USA. I had this plus Fantastic 4 in the House of Horrors, A Hulk one (I didn't have) and countless others (loony toons themed, lassie, lone ranger, DC comics etc). I enjoyed the Spiderman story.

    The Transformers theme made me think of Shogun Warriors. I used to have #6 and remember enjoying it.

    Just for the lulz

    Oh, that cruel situation when asking for chocolate turns into a horrible game of russian roulette…

    Dylan?

    JohnnyNYC's in the basement
    Mixing up the medicine
    Entrailbucket on the pavement
    Thinking about the PvP tournament
    Kaine's the man in the trench coat
    Supports out, AP off
    Says he's got a bad board
    Wants to get it matched off
    Look out kid
    It's somethin' you did
    God knows when
    But you're doin' it again
    You better duck down the alley way
    Lookin' for a new friend
    Alliance coming at ya
    Coz a grill you attacked, ya
    Wants 75 points
    You only got ten

    I'm shuttin' the thread down. The only way I can keep the thread open is if y'all go out and walk through northern New Jersey, get me a set of left-handed golf clubs. I also need you to take a picture with a midget, holding these balloons.
