Squadron Supreme #15

Hyperion disbands the Squadron.

Well, that's one direction to take Robinsons' current pet character.

Jim Hammond?

[lordultimus]

Yep.

[thanekos]

Give him this, he's committed to using and developing one character across multiple books.

Being able to pull that off in big two superhero writing is fairly impressive, these days.

[beyondthefringe]

He'll keep Jim Hammond relevant, no matter what!

[thehood]

I do like that Thundra and Lyra reunited.

[zylly]

I'm guessing she must have reappeared back on Earth after Secret Wars, after being lost in the Doc Green Hulk arc? Or did she appear somewhere between then and now?

[nyadnar17]

Is the "Human Reactor" safe to be around?

[scorntx]

Eh. It'll probably be fine.
It's not like any other version of the Squadron had to deal with a radioactive member whose powers slowly killed all those around him despite the Squadron's efforts.

[remial]

or any other character who had radiation based powers getting cancer from her own powers...

[wizardru]

Listen, if Jim Hammond was a super-powered asset of SHIELD's that posed a hazard to others, certainly Maria Hill would make sure that wasn't dangerous to anyone, right?

..RIGHT?

I quit buying the comic after the first issue and the Namor beheading/destruction of Atlantis. Could someone explain to me:

1) How Namor is still alive

2) Why Atlanteans still exist as a species when Hyperion dropped their city on dry land?


Thanks in advance.

[flint_marko]

1) Time travel. The last storyline was about bringing him back to life. You can see it if you check the Namor or Squadron Supreme tags.

2) The Atlanteans were forced to flee the city before Hyperion destroyed it, so they survived as refugees until it was rebuilt here.

[katefan]

Much appreciated.

An interesting run. Robinson's not back at his Starman heights, but he's better than his Cry of Justice self.

I expect Hammond and Blurr will appear in whatever he ends up writing next. Nighthawk looks like he'll be joining Hawkeye and Red Wolf's Avengers. Of all of them, Spectrum stands the best chance of being forgotten, I fear. Or possible badass powerless Power Princess.
