Nah he's just literally Wormtongue. Probably minus the redemptive backstabbing. But probably retaining the backstabbing.

I'm now picturing Ian McKellen marching into the Oval Office, kicking Bannon out the door, and Trump promptly turns into the Aryan Superman.

Ok, first of all: who the hell says "singing sensation"? Unless they were describing a 60's novelty act or something.

quote:

Nightcat was created by Jim Salicrup, Barry Dutter, Stan Lee, Denys Cowan and Jimmy Palmiotti. Marvel creator Stan Lee wanted to develop a female superhero who crossed over into the real world. Like Dazzler, this hero was also a rock singer. So they released an issue of the Nightcat comic book and hired actress/singer Jacqueline Tavarez to embody Night Cat in real life.

An entire album simply titled Nightcat was recorded and the song "#1 House Rule." Neither the comic nor the album were commercially successful and Jacqueline was fired. At the time she claimed it was because she had appeared in a music video for a song by Joey Buttafuoco. She has since appeared in the film Tromeo And Juliet.

Of course, that's not the first time that Marvel tried to do a hero based on a real person. Back in the 70s there was the Human Fly ("The Wildest Super-Hero Ever -- Because He's Real!"), based very loosely on stuntman Rick Rojatt. You may note some artistic license has been taken.

On second viewing, I would also note that they hosed up the premier / premiere distinction. Unless that was actually supposed to be the best issue ever.

(Also, note the registered trademark symbol after "Super Hero," 'cause Marvel and DC own that.)

Not really pompous or pedantic enough for a villain. Plus, puns with "every dog has his day" or "dog day afternoon" would be too on the nose.

Dazzler was also created as part of a multi-media promotion which was going to involve comics, albums, music videos, concerts and a live-action movie starring Bo Derek... a year or two after disco (and the roller-disco craze) had died out.

More great work in this month's Old Man Logan. I thought this one (19) was the end of the current run, but I guess it goes until 24 so I'm pleasantly surprised.



For context, that's Jean Grey connecting with the brood hivemind.

The Night Cat cover looks like it sound be spray painted on the side of someone's van. I like how they decided to do Dazzler again, but it failed because Dazzler is a great campy character and Night Cat isn't.
