@StreetComb @robertliefeld Was this the only time art was ever returned to him? I heard that the way to tell if a Jack page was sold legit from him/his dealer is that he would sign it. No signature means it was most likely given away or stolen from the warehouse Marvel kept the original pages in.

@Leafo17 Martian Manhunter is probably the closest to the fourth. He was on the team even before Batman and Superman, can do pretty much anything Superman and WW can do plus more, and he seems like more of a leader than GL or Flash.

@GregCapullo I never knew you penciled this!! I had the album and a poster of the cover, and all sources said it was all Todd.

@FrankiePaul64 Mark Texeira was always popping up on X-books in the 90s, and it always stood out to me because it was so different than what most other artists were doing. I believe he did a backup story in Jim Lee's last issue of X-Men, and his Sabretooth miniseries was great.

@SGuglie Zaffino?

[Ian J. Miller @IanMillerComics]

@robertliefeld Love these! Did you design the costumes for the characters in the Former New Mutants galleries? I don't recall Karma, Dani, or Illyana wearing those costumes in the book itself, but I may be mistaken.

@TiffanyFong_ Wasn't it also found that a good percentage of late night talk show "viewers" were just people who fell asleep with the TV on?

@petersimeti I wish I knew...I never went! The closest one was a couple hours away, no clue why we got circulars for them. So I had to stick with my local Babbage's and EB Games.

[Ian J. Miller @IanMillerComics]

@petersimeti As a kid around 1999 I'd get Funcoland circulars. One week they were selling NES consoles for $10 and Mario 3 for 39 cents, like they couldn't get rid of them. I'm kicking myself for not going since only a few years later the prices would skyrocket.

@robertliefeld @tkellykc I read in a few places that Cable's identity was being set up reveal him as the future version of Cannonball. Was this a misdirection?

[Ian J. Miller @IanMillerComics]

@robertliefeld I made this a while back. Classic art book, everyone should have it!

[Ian J. Miller @IanMillerComics]

@sanitylastchanc @CTropes Speaking of which: Domino, Cable, and Shatterstar all have powers, but they weren't flesh out early on so they fought with weapons. Cable has a nebulous origin and his powers weren't shown for years. Apparently he was originally meant to be Cannonball from the future.

[Ian J. Miller @IanMillerComics]

@sanitylastchanc @CTropes Longshot and Domino both had luck powers, but I can't recall either actually using them. I just remember Longshot as having agility and knives. And Domino had no luck from the start, she was captured and replaced by a shapeshifter, her first appearance wasn't actually her.

[Ian J. Miller @IanMillerComics]

@SameBrandon @CTropes Didn't Kitty Pryde fry a villain's brain this way? I could've sworn she phased her fist through villain's head and then solidified it. I know she's threatened to do that before.

[Ian J. Miller @IanMillerComics]

@ShadowKickFTW @CTropes Wasn't this as a joke, though?

[Ian J. Miller @IanMillerComics]

@CyberVenom2001 @CTropes I love Nightcrawler's teleportation limits. He can teleport short distances, but he has to be able to see where he's going unless he wants to end up in a wall or falling over a cliff.

Then there's Lila Cheney, who can only teleport huge distances like to other planets.

[Ian J. Miller @IanMillerComics]

@CTropes Maggot from the X-Men. I loved him as a kid, but I never understood his powers. His digestive system is made up of two worms? When they eat things he Hulks out and turns blue?

[Ian J. Miller @IanMillerComics]

@CTropes I always forget about them, and usually any movie I purposely wait through the credits doesn't have them. Either way, it's a good tactic to have people see your name...As well as the best boy and key grips, whatever the hell they do.

[Ian J. Miller @IanMillerComics]

@SGuglie Was this based on a specific diner? It reminds me so much of the Cup & Saucer in New York (R.I.P.), one of my favorite greasy spoons.
