Ok. Well in the future let's not talk about either superheroes or strippers in this particular way unless we're talking about Voodoo, that catgirl Fantagraphics used to publish comics about, or I guess Stan Lee's Stripperella because it's vaguely gross. I don't want to get into semantics or have a debate but there are ways to critique a comic book costume without sounding like a SWERF.

Did that ad call Captain Marvel "Miss Marvel?" One would think editorial would catch that since it's a common sticking point.

Also, it’s pronounced Ms, not Miss.

Stripper comparisons are verboten but that run of Hulk comics was obviously and deliberately cheesecakey. The issue that Ms. Marvel appeared was conveniently when Art Adams dropped in to do pencils, and the backup (well it's not backup when it's half the page count) story at the time was Red Hulk vs a variety of superheroines drawn by Frank Cho.

I will refrain from accurately describing her costume in the future.

I too will avoid drawing true comparisons that only imply shame if you're inclined to view strippers as shameful.

i dont remember.....his power is that he can go into any window and come out of any other window and the comic is about the infinite number of superheroes and supervillains spanning the multiverse, so i dont think we get to see the window cave. but i might be misremembering

Windows don't live in caves. They tend to be in frames. That guy should definitely call his place the window frame. Or the framework.

He died unceremoniously during the clone saga, done in by a writer who didn't even spell his name correctly, and didn't appear again until that She-Hulk run. It's actually kind of impressive that he was enough of a turd that nobody wanted to touch him in twenty years.

I think it was more that everyone forgot he existed until Soule and Wimberly.

Here's Wimberly's redesign by the way, now that I'm home. It's pretty simple but I think very slick--- this is as close as we get to a full-body action shot from what I remember before he shows up again at the end of the run drawn by Javier Pulido, I think?

He looks like that weird robot guy from the last Street Fighter 3 game now. Q?

That looks fantastic. I need to read that run.

When is Night Cat ("the only super hero based on a real-life, flesh-and-blood human being"*) coming back?

So I finally read all three issues of Morlock 2001 and it's, uh, something:





It's about a plant man who the government uses to kill subversives until he decides he doesn't want to do that anymore.

Also he turns into a plant monster occasionally and eats innocent people.

Ditko drew the third issue and he's really in his weird-rear end wheelhouse:



Then the title character was killed on the last page and welp, that was the end of Morlock 2001.
