Well, you know, Ryan, when we look at how off-scale figures like Doctor Strange and Banshee are, there comes a point where that there bullet just has to get bit!

Sasquatch seems to be missing whatever it is in JB's proportions/poses that make him seem ape-like in his movements.

Maybe this is me being a bit too sensitive, but from the start I thought the name "Typhoid Mary" was a bit on the tasteless side.

Ah, well! As big a fan as I am of JRjr, I see nothing of his work in the piece, so I'll be passing anyway, rendering the point kind of moot.

Hmm... hadn't considered that, but I see your point.

I have to wonder how many superheroes or villains took their code names from real people.

Did you ever hear the story of how the Golden Age Green Lantern got his civilian name? When the character was created, the "Aladdin" motif led to him being called "Alan Ladd", which the editor rejected as "unrealistic". Thus he became Alan Scott.

Meanwhile, in HOLLYWOOD
