They can split the difference and make him a T-Rex Roman Conqueror. Or a Roman Conqueror with a T-Rex pet. That sounds more Newspaper Spider-Man's speed.

Pretty sure the colorist uses flood fill over a white background. Teeth only get to be teeth-colored if the artist closes the line.

Even though people associate convoluted backstories with the 90s with the X-men and Clone saga and all that, a lot of early marvel villains have really convoluted backstories simply because the writers didn't expect to bring them back after killing them off so they have to come up with some nonsense reason they survived, and usually they're like "Well I might as well try to make him more interesting this time around" and add some weird new gimmicks. You do that 3-4 times and you end up with a huge mess.

It's also worth noting that while the fictional Romulus tried to conquer USA the real one posed such a little threat to Odoacer that he not only spared his life but actually gave him an annual pension of 6,000 solidi.

He's wavered back and forth between huge prick and antisocial but sympathetic neutral character. It basically depends on how you feel about his army of slave midgets, the moloids.



Some writers are like "They're dumb primal weirdoes and need a leader and he takes care of them" and others are like "Slavery is always wrong, gently caress the mole man."
