Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future #2

[ozaline]

So this is half the reason I decided to share this comic, isn't it weird that Neal Adams the co-creator of the X-men villain, Sauron, ended up drawing Captain Power's Soaron, who looks almost like a Sauron crossed with a Terminator? Is that even coincidence? I know series co-creator Gary Goddard is a comic book fan (his feature film, 'Masters of the Universe,' was a Jack Kirby homage as much as it was an adaptation of He-man), and show runner J Micheal Stracynski is no stranger to comics even if he wasn't prolific in them till later on.


I couldn't find anything mentioning it elsewhere... but is Soaron an homage to Sauron?





















... There was no next issue. This was published after the series aired and this marks a point of divergence. No member of the Power Team was ever digitized in the show, the episode ends with Lord Dread deliberately letting Power escape, and leaving a memento of his friendship with Stuart at the grave.

I wonder where the comic was going with this.
