Wasn't he used in the recent Wonder Twins comic?
I'm not so sure - because a TV synergy version of Vibe hasn't actually appeared in the mainline comics. A shame because yeah, the original comics one is a major outdated stereotype, and the TV version is a cool more well rounded character.

Oh for sure. Adjusting the Planet would be more involved than the couple examples I tossed out there, and the impact the change/s would have on the story need to be considered, and all that jazz.
I think Marvel was built to be more "eternally modern" honestly. A lot of their early stuff was designed to be timely, not timeless (while reaching for a deeper expression of the times than just the latest summer trend), while DC has, even from the start, had a bit more of a mythological/folklore feeling to it, and is both more and less adaptable for that. DC Elseworlds work in a way Marvel's rarely manage, partially because DC's roster are such unchanging pillars in the community consciousness.This is it, 100%. It is why I prefer Marvel stuff these days, They seem more able to embrace modernity.

It's more accurate to say that Marvel is a descendant of Atlas Comics, the latter forming after the Timely era ended. Marvel started from scratch in the early '60s, with the exception of brining back a couple of Timely characters Stan Lee thought could work in this new universe.

THE CBR COMMUNITY STANDARDS & RULES ~ So... what's your excuse now?
I just remembered that I discovered a circus that comes through our city.
I found out about it just as the pandemic hit, so I still haven't got to go, but I plan to after things are back on track and they come through again.
Also... Legion #260 and 261 featured a circus in the 30th century.
So they must come back into fashion in the DCU at some point.

What does being Jewish have to do with anything? There's very little in the Golden Age characters that reflect anything about being Jewish. ( A possible exception might be the odd "Brooklyn" character in the kid gang books, but even that is more Brooklyn than Jewish.)

Regardless,clark kent with glasses ain't funny no more.It's not any kind of satire,or poking fun or commentary on political climate.It's viewed through the prism of seriousness.No matter what physical change happens or they say clark does.if it isn't drastic or dramatic.it won't work.It's that simple.Glasses identity is either absurd/humouress or it makes sense.pick your poison is my opinion.
