I vaguely recall from my comics apa days that someone referenced a super-heroine in Marvel comics who once quipped:
<< I just figure out what I would do if I had been born without fear… and then do it! >> (paraphrased from memory)
The individual quoting the quip observed wryly that Green Lantern (the Hal Jordan variety) “never had that problem.”
In my comic-reading years I read very few Marvel titles, especially in my youngest years. And I simply can’t recall who the fellow said he was speaking of. Assuming that I’m not completely off-track in saying that I remember this, who was she?
Thank you. I wasn’t aware that Daredevil had multiple associates (assuming that you mean costumed adventurers, and not supporting characters like the girlfriend and pudgy buddy starting from issue #1).
If he has a female costumed associate, it might have been something she said in reference to him, rather than a pl;ayful “swipe” at DC’s main Silver Age GL, Hal.
It would probably help narrow things down if you’d give us some idea of when your “comics apa days” were.
As it is, I don’t recall any such specific lines but it wouldn’t sound odd to have such a thing being said by, say, Jubilee (X-men) or Jolt (Thunderbolts) but I have no idea if those characters were around yet in the timeframe you’re asking about.
Thank you. It was 1978-1981. Sometime in 1983 I briefly looked into Interlac membership again, but it wouldn’t have been that late.
I didn’t know of Jubilation Lee/Jubilee until the animated series came out. I had never, until now heard of Jolt of the Thunderbolts. I’m sure that when the character was referenced, I had already heard of her. See below.
That rings a bell! During that time a lady friend was sharing some then-recent X-Men comics (and meanwhile I was looking at some reprints of the early team from the '60’s.) So I knew who Kitty Pryde was.
