I've been reading a fair bit of UK comics this year, including a fair bit of Captain Britain. New Q when I get me to some funny books.

Hmmm... The only surviving cast members from Aliens that I can think of who might have gotten "erased" or "reformatted" are Newt and Hicks. I love Aliens, but I haven't watched it for a long time, so I don't remember whether or not Bishop was still partly functional after the Queen thrashed him. Still "Fickles" to my friends.

And the answer is in your post Fickles! The series picked up from Aliens focusing on Hicks and Newt. Since they were killed off in Alien 3, Dark Horse had to rename them both (certainly in the collections and new material) to keep the cahracters around. Over to you!

My question: During Peter David's long run on the Incredible Hulk, his accomplishments included turning a minor villain named Vector into a badass by having him injure the Hulk in a way no one ever had before. What did Vector do? Still "Fickles" to my friends.

No, although IIRC the first time Vector got his powers, they turned against him with similar results. Originally Posted by thoth lad Overloaded Hulk with Gamma radiation? No. Vector's powers are the ability to telekinetically repel any matter standing in front of him. Still "Fickles" to my friends.

The Hulk effectively injured himself as the energy from his punch was repelled?

It involved the loss of matter very close to the Hulk. Still "Fickles" to my friends.

This sounded very familiar (with my recent PAD/Hulk/Omnibus re-read), but I wasn't sure if Vector was a member of the group I thought he was affiliated with. When I looked him up, the answer was unexpectedly right there in the small descriptive blurb. Still "Lardy" to my friends!

I'll admit I didn't name that group just to make the question a little more challenging. Still "Fickles" to my friends.

For example, I *could* have said that the affected matter that's very close to the Hulk was the removal of those pants that oddly stay on and grow when he transforms. But, I'm a grown up... well sometimes... a grown up without a guess... it's not the pants is it?

You might say the Hulk survived this battle by the skin of his teeth. Still "Fickles" to my friends.

Even closer than the pants?! >crosses legs defensively< Taking the word skin from your post, did he remove the Hulk's skin from his flesh, making him look like a reject from Hellraiser? No idea how they got that past the comics code. "...not having to believe in a thing to be interested in it and not having to explain a thing to appreciate the wonder of it."

Vector used his powers to flay off several layers of the Hulk's skin (and the Hulk's pants.) And, somehow, Peter David got away with that, and a whole lot more, during his Hulk run. Next question is yours. Still "Fickles" to my friends.
