Infinity Inc 2021 Appreciation

[MajorHoy]

from Who's Who in the DC Universe #16 (February 1992)

Back in the days before Infinite Crisis, I had high hopes for a Fate + Fury series. Hector and Lyta were treated abominably, in the end.

There was a lovely 'final panel' set during IC which gave them a 'Happy ever After' moment in The Dreaming, but it was cut from the final printing as it was deemed 'too bookendy'. It appears as an extra in the IC Hardcover. I would love to see a finished, colour version of this panel.

They took that scene out? Damn, so Hector and Lyta just wonder around in the snow forever? Yeesh

Stargirl being a stealth Infinity Inc series has been a delight. Hopefully it leads to some collections of the Thomas stuff being released.

Infinity Inc is one of the main reasons I'd prefer the JSA be put on Earth Two as an amalgamation of the Roy Thomas/Geoff Johns versions of the teams/worlds/concept. Then bring back the yearly crossover with JLA and boom you are cooking with gas, but first reclaim their characters from prime earth, Star Girl, Mr. Terrific, Dr. Fate. They belong on Earth Two with the real Alan Scott.

Well, that connection makes sense, considering Stargirl is Sylvester Pemberton's successor. She's doing in her show what Sylvester did in the Infinity Inc comics, and they combined that with elements from the Stars and STRIPE series Courtney debuted in. Presumably they'll use elements from the late 90s JSA series from now on too - we know they're using Jakeem Thunder - but also continue to add more Infinity Inc elements - like Jade.

Then Sylvester shows up in the last episode which is a shame because I really would have wanted to see him interacting with Henry. Idk that was just always a really fun dynamic in the comics, especially in the first 12 issues.

Well, DC did have a collection of the first few issues of Infinity Inc. that was released back in 2011:


They even solicited a second volume, but later cancelled that (reportedly due to low demand).

That appearance by him in the show was taken straight from the final issue of Stars and STRIPE, and then resolved in JSA a bit later. spoilers:

He was time displaced again, and fades away - sent back home - once the plot is resolved. So if they follow the comics, Sylvester really is dead.

Where was that resolved in JSA?

He appears in issues 11, 13, 14 and 15.

I was really disappointed with Henry's death. Maybe they didn't want another character whose powers could potentially overshadow Courtney's. I just hope that Jade and Obsidian show up this year.

Maybe he's not dead? It's a longshot but I'll probably stick to "if you don't see the body they could somehow be alive" until we get at least a little of season 2.
I want Hec the most though. Since I think at least Jade is confirmed for next season.

His final scene was so good, though.

It's really about damn time for JADE to make a big comeback.

I like to think at Dragon King got ahold of his body and started experimenting on him (just like he's probably done to Wizard's body)
