Sinners Sandwich posted:One last thing before the topic shifts but they also did a followup take on Superman So, Lois dying turns Superman into Dr. Manhattan with even more disdain for human life. I mean, Dr Manhattan leaves and tells humanity to go gently caress off, he's done. Superman turns into a vengeful judge and finds humanity not worth saving? That is pretty much the worst interpretation of Superman I've ever read.

Manhattan doesn't even tell humanity to gently caress off - at the end of the book he embraces his nascent godhood and decides to go make his own humanity with hookers and booze.

Read Godland. I liked the first volume, but it really clicked for me when they went more and more cosmic with the story.

Has there ever been an issue around Christmas where Ma Kent finds out that Batman doesn't have parents and so invites him to Christmas dinner or knits him a sweater or something?

Yeah, Bruce has Alfred and all the Robins and Batgirls and other assorted Gotham vigilantes. The only hard part is getting him to sit down and have dinner instead of GRR WHAT IF THE JOKER STRIKES GRRR CONSTANT VIGILANCE Martian Manhunter, on the other hand, is totally alone. I think. I've never actually bothered to read up on his supporting cast, though in the last episode of JLU he has a wife.

Ma Kent not knowing about Batman's parents was the cause of the best line in Identity Crisis. "I bet Batman doesn't treat his parents like this." All because Clark was insisting she didn't have to pay for her Daily Planet subscription.

Why did Marvel comics forget about X-men supporting character Stevie Hunter? She was a dance instructer for Kitty and a friend of Storm's. Eventually she grew close enough house sit, mentor The New Mutants, run the Danger Room and even was trusted enough that Jessica Drew and Dazzler were perfectaly okay hanging in and out of costume with her. I'm still reading Claremonts run so I don't know of he was the one to drift away from her first. She was just a cool character and I was suprised to see she made no future apperences after the 80s. Would even think she would be in that newer Storm solo a year back because pretty sure she had a supporting New yorkian cast in that. Any other supporting characters in the two big universes just vanish on you?

If you're not a superhero or a Lois Lane tier character you'll probably vanish off the face of the Earth the moment the next big status quo shakeup comes Someone might eventually remember you but that is a maybe.

Pepper Potts and Happy Hogan mostly disappeared from Iron Man comics for twenty years until Heroes Reborn. They were not a part of most of his best eras.

The best use they ever got out of him was when he would turn into Freak so that Iron Man could have his sympathetic Lizard-type villain but that got old and they had played every angle of the love triangle among him, Pepper, and Tony (even more tiresome if you had seen the same thing play out elsewhere like Daredevil).

And while Pepper was gone, there was the matronly secretary Mrs. Abrogast, his head of PR Marcy Pearson (Rhodey was the one sleeping with her), his startup partner Clytemnestra. No romance with them either.

No idea WHY she vanished but Stevie Hunter was around in the early 90's in The Muir Island Saga. That was right before the Blue/Gold tees and I can't recall seeing her after that. I think things just went nuts after that and people forgot about her.
