Yes! Superboy in Hawaii was great!
I'd be all in on a Stingray series based in Hawaii. Maybe Dr. Newell could even let a native Hawaiian don the mantle actively, while the good doctor did the 'lab work'.
I concur with everyone here so far who's said this is a great idea for a team. Only question is . . . didn't Rumiko Fujikawa die?
If I recall right, that cabal of corporate villains also had Tiberius Stone on it (originally from Iron Man back in the early 2000s, later plucked from obscurity by Dan Slott for his Spider-Man run starting in Big Time), representing the newly formed Alchemax from the ashes of Oscorp and Horizon Labs.
The spider is always on the hunt.
I can dig that!
Thank you!
And yes, she did die, but, the great thing about these teams is, we don’t have to abide by the bad decisions the Companies make.
In Rumiko’s case, i ignored it, in Mettle’ i incorporated it into the narrative.
In Charcoal’s, I also ignored it, plus the fact that he’s a character that’s in legal limbo because of being created to win a contest and Marvel doesn’t have exclusive rights.
Charcoal was a really good character.
No they don't have to pay royalties the terms of the contest was that he was Marvel's property like the mutant Alchemy who was created similarly. Your right he is a good character to be relegated to limbo. Volcana would be a good character to use for a Hawaiian team with her lava/rock/ash forms.
^^^thats not a bad choice! She and Hydro Man would have something in common. They’d either bond, or really not like each other, being from similar criminal backgrounds.
