Did you guys notice that these appear to have become part of the external links on Wikipedia? I was just checking out the Matter Eater Lad Wiki page and there at the bottom was a link to here! Is there a word for the level of fame this is?

Strange but fun quiz – I’m 4% of those who took the quiz/test and came out Star Boy – I’m partial to the inital superboy ripoff that had electric vision myself.

Wow, he’s like Zaphod Beeblebrox, but with better abilities. I really want to read some of the old stuff with him now. :D

As far as returning in the threeboot.. I might have to check that outand see how they portray him.

Mmm… I’m not as negative about the Threeboot continuity (at least partially because it’s a return to a lot of the concepts previously rebooted) but I also don’t hold great hope for Tenzil…

Not because I don’t want to see him, but because Tony Bedard and I have great differences in conceptualization between what makes and doesn’t make a good character. Also important: it hoses our chances of seeing Christopher Bird do his cool take (even though Chris has reported that Rich Johnston’s column is NOT correct, and that DC has NOT made any official overtones to him about spec scripting the Legion.)

I say Bouncing Boy should be next. Did anyone catch the hint that Tenzil Kem will be joining the threeboot train wreck in August? I’m not hopeful at all…
