Boomerang (Fred Myers) Appreciation (2019)

[Snoop Dogg]

Kind of subjective but do you think Boomerang has an accent? He was born an Aussie but was raised in the states, iirc. I have a similar question about his former teammate the Rhino.

Fred should not have an accent, Rhino always should.

welp. that's one ugly costume.

Well, he later switched to this one:

from The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Vol. 1 No. 2 (February 1983)

Incredible Hulk #295 May 1984
"Turning Point!"
Story continued from Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars #12.
Injured, the Hulk arrives back on Earth and it is apparent that a change is taking place within him.

And this is bad news for the assassin Boomerang!

Boomerang somehow became a supporting cast member......who knew he’d be interesting.......

I read the story and I still don't find the character in any way, shape or form interesting but to each their own.

I sure did, just giving my opinion regarding your statement. I simply don't agree that a person has to find Fred interesting to like Superior Foes.

Then read more closely. I didn't attribute the enjoyment level of the series to Boomerang.

Your statement seemed to imply after reading Superior Foes one would naturally find Fred interesting or at least more interesting than before, but I digress. Anyhow, I do not wish to drag this thread down with a debate about semantics so I'll say no more regarding this matter.

It didn't imply any of that. You inferred it. Then you decided that it'd be cool to say that you didn't find Fred interesting in his appreciation thread. But you'll thankfully say no more regarding the matter.

I've always had a soft spot for Boomerang though I couldn't tell you why. Maybe it was because his trading card was one of the first I ever got? I'm always tickled when C or D-list characters rise up the ranks to get some deserved time in the sun.

[Decoy]

At least he gets treated better than Captain Boomerang in Identity Crisis

Superior Foes of Spider-Man was brilliant.

I like the look that the comicbook character Boomerang is sporting on the cover.
