It's also interesting to see how certain things change one they're on the page from the original design.<br /><br />Yes, Rainbeaux came before Halo, which only makes Halo worse ;).<br /><br />Thanks for chiming in!Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-5418390457361880032012-07-09T16:00:58.344-03:002012-07-09T16:00:58.344-03:00I guess I have to weigh in at this point.

(DC brought in the Spidey colors & changed his power radiation from black to yellow.) I was more concerned with his powers which I thought and still think are fairly original. Slowing or freezing the motion of atoms allowed him to walk on frozen atoms of air (not fly,) erect an impenetrate barrier of atoms for invunerability, change gases to liquid to solids, etc. I didn't allow him to speed up atoms because that would have made him too powerful. Someday I may use him again, though I guess I have to change his name.<br /><br />I should point out that Rainbeaux preceded Halo and her creator deserved a little credit there.<br /><br />And while I thought Waspman was a Fly ripoff, that was due to his color scheme which might have been DC-imposed.<br /><br /> -Rich HangoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-38186462981607340922012-07-09T10:44:22.920-03:002012-07-09T10:44:22.920-03:00I don't think I'm particularly mean to Ste...I don't think I'm particularly mean to Steadfast.
