One of the best stories to feature Marvel speedsters and the Flash still manages to make it all about him :(
Quasar has a great look and a great power set, why isn't Marvel using him? I would buy Quasar title, provided that Marvel doesn't try to pull a bait and switch like they did with the New Warriors.

I loved, loved, LOVED Gru’s Quasar. His run, as well as the 80’s/90’s Silver Surfer book, made me an absolute fan of Marvel’s cosmology.

[center]The writing of Mark Gruenwald would be hard to duplicate, along with the artwork (especially Greg Capullo).
Recently found out from an article on CBR that Capullo was the one who designed my favorite version of Quasar's costume.
The best part was adding all those stars onto the interior lining of the cape (reminds me of Mar-Vell's Cosmic Awareness):

As the literal "Protector of the Universe" Wendell should play a part in the Empyre story, but sadly, he's not. If only Gruenwald was...
Sigh :-(
I always l liked the character.
Is he still dead or has he popped back up?

I think he's dead.
Sad for a guy that held a 60 issue run and was called lame by Wizard the Guide to COmics. (I own issue 50 and 60).

Nope, still alive and trying to find the replacement Quasar that died/got stuck in limbo trying to fill his shoes. Hey Marvel, no one cares about that. You had a new Quasar and you killed her and no one batted an eye. Stop trying to use the Quasar I actually care about to pull a bait and switch with the one I don't.
