well shady i think your comparison to 9/11 set him off and to be honest was a bit bizarre, maybe even more bizarre then greybird comparing me(progenitor) to that of a mass murderer like hitler, just a tad extreme.

Wow! While I was away, things got pretty heated around here.
I think I'll dodge the whole controversy, and instead, hope that cooler heads have since prevailed.
I do want to answer the question about the inspiration for Mentalla's costume. It certainly was based on Saturn Girl's earliest costume. In fact, I'd probably have given her the same hair color too, except that my wife had blonde hair at the time.
Nemisis Kid's costume had nothing to do with her appearance. I know for a fact, since I designed the character of Mentalla, that her fate was not decided at the time of her creation. In fact, she probably would never have appeared again if not for the large amount of fan mail that mentioned an interest in Mentalla. Paul conceived of the idea of having her infiltrate the Fatal 5 without any input from me. If he was subconsciously drawing inspiration from the color scheme of Nemisis Kid's costume ... I have no way of knowing.

I made no such comparison of whoever-it-really-is-with-that-handle to anybody, living or dead, murderous or not, and he knows it.
What I said was that picking a handle of the name of a -character- who was a mass murderer in these stories struck me as very curious and highly dubious. Especially when so many names from heroes, from neutral characters, or from items of sheer whimsy existed as possibilities. Even "Mordru" was a better name. -He- (almost?) never killed anyone.
I'm a man of strong opinions, but I don't see how that warrants anyone misrepresenting what I say. And I can't stop anyone else from doing it, either.
I'll say what I've said before: If whoever-you-are thought my comments many months ago (this was after "Legion Lost" 11) cut too closely, I tender an apology, even though one isn't obliged on my part. And if you didn't bother to read carefully on your part, as I suggest you didn't, you owe -me- one.

Mordru, dear, are you trapped in a personal Zero Hour? You seem to be slipping from one ID to another with each post

sorry Steve. i guess i should share in the blame. and Princess Crujectra, my identity keeps switching because, when i break from work i go to the library in the building and sometimes post. Because it doesnt store my password and i cant remember it, i use my first user name because the password is easy to remember. I dont use multiple id's, i just use the old one when necessary.
