…he better watch out for Vulture swooping in from behind!•• My willing suspension of disbelief works about as well as anybody's, but, y'know, right from the get-go I was somewhat perplexed by the Vulture. Unlike Hawkman, whose wings are only for maneuvering, not lift, or Angel, whose wings DO provide lift, but leave his arms free, the Vulture's wings are what keeps him up in the air, just like a real bird, AND they are attached to his arms, also like a bird. Used to (and still does) make me wonder how he grabs onto anything, or throws a punch, without tumbling out of the air! Maybe Batroc has been tutoring him! (Parenthetically, I don't buy the idea that the Vulture is an old guy. It was really Roger Stern who played that up -- Rog has said he thinks the Vulture should be one of Spider-Man's top foes, representing age versus youth -- but when I first "met" the character I just thought he was one of those classic Ditko ugly guys!)
