Quasar and Space Ghost

 

Quasar was one of those Marvel heroes that I expected to eventually break our and become a heavy hitter, but he never quite did.  Still, I generally enjoyed his appearances.  He did seem like he might have fit better in the DCU rather than Marvel - maybe it was his very Silver Age style costume.

I felt the same way, too, Ross. And you're right about his look. He was clearly modeled after the Silver Age versions of both Superman and Green Lantern. Which was definitely a good thing as far as I'm permanently concerned! What they (comic book superheroes) symbolized sixty years ago we are in desperate need of right now. I just hope we can get back it.

I mean, that costume (with a few minor alterations) actually predates the Silver Age- the original Marvel Boy debuted in 1950.

So, is Space Ghost an ACTUAL ghost now?

Not if Quasar pulls a Constantine (a la those DCAU OAV's).

For a while I've been trying to remember who the two characters were that were largely agreed that one seemed like a DC character in Marvel, while the other seemed like a Marvel character in DC. This answers the first half.

If the Big Two had ever carried through with the hinted-at "Secret Crisis," they could've made news by trading the two characters at the end.

Oh, and Halloween's coming up! Maybe we can get a photo cover where "Scooby-Doo Spends Five Nights at Freddy's"!

As in an earlier e-mail, maybe Space Ghost vs. Miraidon, and Mightor vs. Koraidon.
