Wow, that's lovely.

But Galactus's back leg is giving me the puzzleds.

Probably, I have no idea who Trapster or Wizard are. The one zapping Sandman. I did think that was a bit of an unfair team-up...

You don't know Paste Pot Pete, the greatest man to ever become a super-villain? For shame! His name is legend in the halls of Asgard! To speak of him in Wakanda is a crime punishable by death by weasels! His mighty combat prowess is such that the DC universe cut itself away from Marvel in fear that he might step foot there should there ever be another crossover between the two! His is a reputation of glory and blood, of despair beyond words and salvation forever just out of touch! He is the hunger that created Galactus, the spark that created the Phoenix, the idea that spawned The Living Tribunal. He is the one who looked upon the face of the One Above All and laughed.



He is Paste Pot Pete.

It's how she was introduced in the 1960's, as a member of the Frightful Four. It predates even the debut of the Inhumans.

What was she meant to be? Just a random hair-user and then they retconned her as an amnesiac Inhuman?

Medusa grew up with the other Inhumans, but when their servant class, the Alpha Primitives, rebelled, she took part in the fight against them, and her aircraft went MIA due to damage caused in battle.

She survived, but was amnesiac and eventually found by the Wizard, who recruited her and she became "Madam Medusa".

The notoriety she gained, drew the attention of the Inhuman Royal family, who came to find her, resulting in her regaining her memory,

Hey, don't take it personally. Nobody really needs to know who the Wizard is, but it's kind of amazing how quickly the common frame of reference changes in comics. Hell, people get nostalgic for Young Justice or the Busiek Avengers nowadays.
Besides, I-feel-old is kind of a theme in my life recently.

Out of curiousity, when's the last time the original line up of the Frightful Four got together?

From: [personal profile] ian_karkull
I think the first time might actually also be the last time. Medusa never joined again as far as I know and Sandman got shuffled off to the Spidey rogues soon after.
Nowadays the Frightful Four are usually Hydro-Man, The Wizard and whoever else he can grab off the street at any given moment.

Wizard - "So how are things?"

Sandman - "Oh you know, went good through well developed character plotline, became a reserve Avenger for a while, then went bad again because Byrne was in a mood and had you revillainise me"

Wizard - "Oh yeah, sorry about that. Pete?"

Pete - "TRAPSTER!!! Dammit, I'm the TRAPSTER!!!"

Wizard - "Still on that kick, eh Pete? Medusa? How's that prehensile hair serving you in your career path"

Medusa - "Me? I'm now Queen of the Inhuman/Kree Empire spanning much of the Greater Magellanic Cloud and beyond."

Wizard - "Oh..."
