This is a request from Patron in excellent standing and comics' historian Marc Tyler Nobleman. I had mentioned how much I liked Vixen's appearance on the last season of Arrow, and I am glad to hear that she will be joining the cast of DC's Legends of Tomorrow or a version of her at least. It seems we will be introduced to an earlier Vixen, a precursor to Mari McCabe. Hopefully they will do the character justice, she has a ton of potential.
"Hopefully, they will do the character justice..."
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't count on that, Ross. If they can Afro-americanize Jimmy Olsen, they might just Caucanize Vixen As in, make her a SWF Wolverine (a la X-23)!
Actually, the Vixen on Legends is supposedly Mari's grandmother.
DeleteI surprised that you didn't take this opportunity to point out that Wolverine and Vixen have approximately the same hairstyle....
ReplyDeleteGeek time: Would Logan's adamantium claws be able to pierce the Destroyer's armor?
ReplyDeleteHmmm... he could at least get in between the seams.
ReplyDeleteI bet the Destroyer was animated by Dr. Destiny
ReplyDeleteGreat cover. It would be cool to see the entire Justice League Detroit with the X-Men: Vixen/Wolverine, Steel/Colossus, Vibe/Nightcrawler, Gypsy/Shadowcat, Zatanna/Storm, Aquaman/Cyclops, Martian Manhunter/Professor X, and Elongated Man/Banshee. I'm thinking the old Claremont/Byrne X-Men.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of Vixen, have you ever used her B&B beau, Bwana Beast? He could meet the X-man Beast and/or the Beast of Beauty & the Beast fame.
ReplyDeleteYes I have used him, and he will return...
ReplyDeleteIt suddenly occurs to me that you've had Doomsday make half-a-dozen appearances, here. But, the Asgardian Destroyer has appeared only once! That, alone, should make a one-on-one between them mandatory.
