Blue Beetle and Rom

 

Time for another double dose of Ditko. His skilled design work extended to the various creatures that he would create. This big guy wasn't given a name, so I cam up with one for him.

Speaking of name-giving, maybe Conan could have, for his original name, be “Xenia” (masculine for Xena).

I meant XENUS!

@Anonymous: why not? Maybe Xena had a previously male incarnation as Conan. Sort of as a variant on Michael Moorcock's Eternal Champion Theory!

@Ross: and a cool name it is! There are so many possibilities for him, here. A gamma-ray mutated Badoon. Killer Croc hyped up on Miraclo. Maybe even a feral descendant of the organic Cylons (from BSG: The Original Series) immortalized by solar-powered nanites!

Ah Ted, you and the original Booster are kind of missed. Been interesting to see a Ditko version of Wonder Woman.

It's kind of funny to me how you're hyping him up, since IIRC he was far more sympathetic in the comics.
