Trying Magog again, eh? We'll see if something takes this time. I have nothing against the character, I'd perfectly willing to be grabbed, nothing has to this point though. Waid created him though so maybe he can do something interesting. This is oddly reminiscent to the Wonderstar idea from SM/WW. But it's definitely yet another in a line of hints that a KC sequel or something KC inspired is coming.

Ywah, I think they took a look at Cable and went from there.

I wonder if David as Magog could be used as a way to deconstruct legacy characters?
They did a teen cable recently. I guess we'll get Teen Magog now. LolLast edited by the illustrious mr. kenway; 12-21-2022 at 04:02 PM.

Lowkey, Magog comes across like he would be an AMAZING rival for Jon Kent, the failed scion vs the nepo baby Originally Posted by the illustrious mr. kenway

Less legacy heroes, more sidekicks. Clark took in Magog the same way Bruce took in Dick, and for the same reasons namely that he saw himself in the kid. But Clark was not able to give Magog the help he needed the way Bruce did for Dick, because Bruce made sure Dick got to take down the man who killed his parents. Dick got catharsis but David’s problems aren’t something Superman could provide a resolution for. Even though on the surface Magog seems like the perfect sidekick for Superman - they have the same origins, similar power sets - ultimately being a hero provided an outlet for Magog’s worst instincts instead of his best. Of course Joker entering the picture made sure it all ended as badly as it possibly could. Originally Posted by the illustrious mr. kenway

As an adult he thought he was strong enough that he could take Supes in a fight and win: Originally Posted by SuperX

Having a powerful loose cannon out there running around keeps things interesting if Waid wants to use kid Magog more.For when my rants on the forums just aren’t enough: https://thevindicativevordan.tumblr.com/

I haven't read KC in a while, so maybe I'm wrong, but I attack Superman with everything, Superman doesn't take any damage. Originally Posted by SuperX
