Mon-El pulls that up even! And may I add that "The Phantom Zone" sounds like a disco! Maybe someone was fibbing all this time about how dreadful it was.

There's been precious little talk about Duela Dent in this so-called "disco" thread so far! Surely she is the most disco-rific character ever! I mean, she occasionally fought crime on roller-skates! For the love of God people - ROLLER SKATES! [ September 09, 2005, 04:38 PM: Message edited by: Blacula ]

This whole page is, like, the best ever. (After Lester's, of course.)

And people wonder why Mal Duncan is my favourite character ever?! To go out in an outfit like that is the true meaning of heroism! [ September 09, 2005, 05:22 PM: Message edited by: Blacula ]

Hmmm... clearly, Tyroc patterned his costume after this... inspired... ensemble. Hornblower-- Tyroc's sonic screams-- is there a connection? Did Mal get his belt from Duela? Reading this has lit up a memory I can't retrieve. Did we ever find out where Karen got her Bumblebee equipment? Was it STAR labs?

I believe Marv Wolfman retconned it as STAR Labs, yes.
