CapnAndy posted:Oh, yeah, back in the 60s. Dark Phoenix Saga was some 20-odd years later. And it wasn't a physical inability, it was typical Mavel melodrama "alas, the woman that I love! But I cannot be with her because I'm a terrible monster or I have to be the leader or I fear my glasses slipping or whatever excuse, who cares" stuff, same as Ben Grimm moping about Alicia Masters or Peter Parker pining for Gwen Stacy instead of just, y'know, asking the girl in question if she's cool with this. I remember the Don Blake Thor identity, back when the comic started, was all "I can't confess I like Jane Foster, she doesn't deserve the love of A CRIPPLE-!" His terrible crippling deformity: he needed a cane to walk well. I wonder if there's ever been a spoof on this old trope where the pair realize almost immediately how stupid they're being and promptly start dating.
