Oh, I a..."He's got abs in his brain." Oh, I am SO using that line. I like how the first impression of Cypher was "he sounds boring"; they're not wrong, but I'm surprised you didn't mention Cypher's heroic death when he took a bullet meant for Wolfsbane after pushing her out of the way.<br /><br />Cloak and Dagger fighting Spider-Man wasn't just the old Marvel trope of heroes fighting each other; Spidey disapproved of their violent way of dealing with criminals, so that put them at odds on many occasions.<br /><br />Interesting the girls mentioned Jacob Conover; he's one of the multitude of guys who used the identity of the Rose. Siskoid, I'm sure you've read the famous "Kid Who Collected Spider-Man" story ... Conover was the reporter who wrote the article that first brought the kid to Spider-Man's attention.<br /><br />Mike W.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
