Did you actually read the question in the OP Scott? I mean the actual words making sentences etc. all that stuff? Might want to read it again.
“Vividly blonde?” I thought he was prematurely grey.
I suppose he could have been prematurely grey, but given his apparent youth and physical perfection (and damn good genes!), I figured he was just blond.
When your mother is an immortal, do you even GET grey hair?
Assuming that Amazonian and Kryptonian genetics for hair color work the same way as they do for H. sapiens, this is perfectly possible. Black hair is dominant over blond hair. At least one of the grandparents on each side would have to have had one blond gene. With only one blond gene, that grandparent would have had black hair, but can pass on a blond gene to offspring. Then, both of the the parents would likewise have to have had a blond gene and a black gene: The blond gene comes from that grandparent mentioned above, but it’s still “hiding” behind the black-hair gene. Finally, the two parents have a kid, and the blond gene from one parent just happens to pair up with the blond gene from the other parent, and the kid is blonde.
The reverse situation, however (two blond parents producing a black-haired child) can’t normally occur, since black hair can’t “hide” behind blond hair. So that would be cause to suspect foul play, unnatural hair colors, or non-human genetics.
Okay, I went to Barnes & Noble this afternoon and quickly read through Kingdom Come so I finally know what the OP is talking about. The structure of Wonder Woman’s goodie cover is revealed in the scene in which she and Superman are visiting Aquaman. In one panel the front of WW’s loincloth is floating away, revealing that it consists of one long strip that folds over the belt, passes between her legs and back up her bum, then presumably folds over the belt in back to form the rear flap. So: no panties per se, but the Amazonian naughty bits are nonetheless securely covered.
Thanks, Chronos.
I’m just that I’m not the only one who was fascinated by WW’s crotch in Kingdom Come.
I also admit to thinking naughty thoughts about her pose in the panel when she was standing over Von Bach’s recently-KO’d body.
Its the BOOTS, man.
For some stange reason, the males in Alex’s series seem to have a bit more uh…freedom than the wimmun. The examples above are good choices and I pin another.
In Marvels, Ol Submariner likes to fight au natural. A lot apparently. Sure it ain’t kosher but whose gonna tell him…early Submariner was a hothead and I can’t think of what he would do to a Cop who tells him to put those ugly green drawers on.
Got to tell you though, sets the whole “Subbie want Sue Storm of FF4” storyline on another level. Sorta like the surprise package is out there in the open.
I liked Hypertime. It’s funky. It sends a big FU to the continuity uber-alles killjoys in the comics crowd, and it’s a decent hook for stories.
All it is, after all, is the “alternate reality” theory of quantum physics (cherised in soft sci-fi for ages), with the added wrinkle that the alternate realities will sometimes converge and blend for a while.
That means we get Red K back. I like Red Kryptonite.
