Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but I think Grevioux intended for Adam to occupy that period before the Fantastic Four, the Avengers, the X-men and all of the other "modern" costumed champions launched their careers. He wasn't only the most powerful hero, but perhaps the only active hero. Something about that doesn't seem right.
It's too bad that Grevioux didn't set aside a panel or two to show Blue Marvel interacting with other heroes from his era. I mean if Adam is Superman, where is his Justice Society? And even if he never formed a team with anyone, who were his superhero contemporaries that he could interact with and possibly hold him accountable? Part of me wishes Grevioux would come back and fill in the blanks.
