I mean, couldn't Char Burrane just have come up with another name? It's not like Starfinger was really a big name villain, or that the name was so intrinsically cool that it by its nature it struck fear into the heart of the Legionnaires.

I mean, if I were going to kill a villain and steal his name, I think I'd pick someone like the Persuader.

I suppose it could be worse. I mean... he could have thought to himself, "I, Char Burrane, will adopt the villainous identity of Vibrex II!"[ July 06, 2004, 10:01 PM: Message edited by: Eryk Davis Ester ]

For the sake of argument, shouldn't the original be called Starfingers , seeing as how he used all four and his thumb with his powers?

Perhaps he should be updated for the new millenium and be called Starmember?
