apparently it involves being younger and slightly sexier and also being on fire a lot

he was still pretty cool to be fair, at least until Robinson left and every subsequent writer kept shitting on him

>>93628643
Have you read the reboot of Starman? They go into a lot of that stuff and it's usually pretty cool, even get an old Sandman cameo in one arc.

>>93628690
It fits the Hermes theme so damn well

>>93628702
>reboot of Starman?
Nah I haven't I'm going to have to check that out I love me some Starman

>>93628665
This page made me smile so hard, I can't wait til he comes back for real

>>93628701
Is he still weak to wood?

>>93628724
It's some good shit. Really treats the golden age stuff with respect while still letting it be its own thing. Even brings back a bunch of old villains in new ways. Can't recommend it enough.

I'm probably going to get absolutely shit on for this, but I liked 80's Starman more, probably for the cosmic stuff. Appreciated the legacy aspect of the Robinson version, but it wasn't my cup of tea

>>93628858
I've never read any of the cosmic stuff from either Big 2, but it seems interesting. What was this Starman's deal?

>>93628880
>Will Payton gained his powers of flight, super strength, a mild amount of shapeshifting, and the ability to alter his appearance and fire bolts of energy from his hands after being struck by a bolt of energy from a satellite in space. He was in his early twenties and worked as a magazine copy editor. The satellite had been launched by the Hutchison Institute, and the powers had been intended for their team of super-agents the Power Elite. Despite his short career, he gained a good reputation among other heroes, even assisting Superman on some occasions, such as helping him recharge after an encounter with Parasite drained most of his solar energy, and posing as Superman when he was briefly depowered by Lex Luthor's use of Mister Mxyzptlk's Red Kryptonite (although he was forced to leave to recover after he was injured in a confrontation with evil genius Thaddeus Killgrave). He first appeared in Starman (vol. 1) #1 (October 1988) and seemingly died fighting the supervillain Eclipso.

>>93629052
What is a "mild amount of shapeshifting?"

>>93628858
That series was boring as shit.

>>93628880
Don't bother, there's much better cosmic stuff to be found than fucking 80's Starman.

Hourman is my man, I just ordered that sandman mystery theater volume where he shows up fucking shit up.

I did, couldn't resist the perfect setup. Got any good cosmic stuff to recommend other than GotG?

>>93629206
Oh man, never got that far. I need to read more SMT, everything I read so far was fucking great.

>>93628270

This was a decent character; I love the old two-fisted smart guys -- Sandman, The Shadow, Doc Savage, The Avenger, and later characters set in that period like Dominick Fortune. Low-or-No-Powered Mystery-Men, those are the best.

It was a simpler time. Men were men, women were women, and bad guys were so obvious you could smell the nazi on them.

I just wish there had been a silver/bronze team-up duo book mini between OG Torch and Namor, like something along the lines of Green Lantern/Green Arrow & Power Man And Iron Fist. Thomas has such a fucking boner for Namor that I'm kind of surprised that it never happened beyond Invaders

Shame that half these characters are no longer in use and we'd get stuck with the Rebirth version of Vigilante.

Captain Marvel
Plastic Man

Hourman's costume is sick, in every version

>>93629522
who are they?

>>93633398
Hourman is the one hero that really makes (that much) yellow look heroic in their costume.

(Meaning outright yellow, not gold, like you see in Captain Marvel's, or the small amount on symbols of Batman/Superman/whoever)

I could read Plastic Man and The Spirit comics all day, also Venus is my girl

>>93629278
What are some good Shining Knight stories?

>>93633495

Looks like Golden Age Miss America, Madeline Joyce, who married the fellow in yellow, the Whizzer.
