Have to take issue with Salieri there…since when has Nightmare been lame? Check out his appearances in the Gene Colan-drawn run in Doctor Strange during the ’60’s…and wasn’t partly responsible for the Hulk going totally nutso around about issue 300 back in the ’80’s? I rest my case milud…

It should be that “Sandman” vaguely resembles Nightmare, since Nightmare preceded Sandy by 25 years. Just being a nitpicking nellie.

I actually kinda like Cloud 9’s post-grad outfit… wasn’t her initial character hook that she was a snowboarder, or that sort of X-treme athlete? If i’m remembering that part right, this sort of “helmet-with-a-spandex-suit-and-clunky-boots” look used to be (maybe still is?) cool with that subset of the population, i believe… so it could kinda fit in that regard….

As a Doctor of Guessology of the Department of Uncertain studies in the Royal College of Allamistakeo, it is my professional opinion that Trauma is a blood relative of Nightmare, the classic immortal lame Dr Strange villain who vaguely resembles the Sandman and rides a ‘Night Mare’ in green pyjamas. This connection may become apparent in the aftermath of Secret Invasion, as Nightmare is solicited to return within the pages of INCREDIBLE HERC during that event.
