Marc Guggenheim (AMAZING SPIDER-MAN) and Javier Pulido (CAPTAIN AMERICA 65TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL) turn the classic Blonde Phantom into Marvel’s newest hero!

	Oh my god, Kupperman on Marvex sounds perfect. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I'm pretty sure we had a posting or two about him, back on S_D 1.0 (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Way back before modesty, when women were so strong and active that their sturdy chest muscles made extra support unnecessary? :P (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Isn't there some weird town in Timely Wisconsin with some connection the to the Vison,and Krang ? Whats up with that ? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	To make a long and incredibly convoluted story short, as part of one of his schemes in the early 90s, Kang founded a small town in Wisconsin named Timely (after the original name of the company that became Marvel) which would later serve as a base of operations for the guy who made the original Human Torch, who became the Vision.

	Are we back to the Vision and original Human torch being linked ? When did it change back ? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The Avengers Forever mini by Busiek, as I recall. Immortus created two Human Torches via time travel, one of which became the Vision while the other was eventually reactivated and had modern day adventures. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Presumably this means Byrne's She-Hulk is no longer canon... (Reply to this) (Thread)

	psychop_rex 2009-04-22 02:08 am UTC (link)
	No, not at all - if I remember correctly, Weezie got de-aged back to how she was in her glory days, and this happened after the Byrne Shulkie book, so it's still in continuity. Also - BLONDE PHANTOM! Yaaaaaaay! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The splash for this issue sounds more like time travel to me. I guess she could go forward, then go back again at story's end... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I can't say I agree - the 'has she still got what it takes?' implies that, while she's back to her old self, she hasn't fought crime for a good fifty-odd years, and has some catching up to do. Of course, I could be wrong - but I can't see why Marvel, having already put a young, fit Blonde Phantom back in regular continuity, would go to the trouble of using a time travel plot to bring another one forward. It seems somewhat pointless - it's like saying 'I have here a lovely omelet that I made myself. Now, I could eat this omelet or I could toss it in the garbage and make *dramatic hand gestures* ANOTHER omelet! Yes, I think I will do that!'
