Thanks for the links. I finally can see what was so great about Miracleman and Marshal Law. Great stuff that! :laugh:

That sucks, Im also looking for when Sue became the thing..I have no idea when that happened…

Fantastic Four #403 & #404 where Sue and Llyra (along with the Kristoff Dr. Doom) are turned into replicas of the Thing by some pseudo-Inca device. The women are drawn Thing-size with the appropriate amount of muscles. They actually had more muscle than I would’ve expected from a mainstream comic but then they became the “villains” of the two-part storyline so it’s okay from the Marvel standpoint.

Paul Ryan did the artwork on the issues and it looks good, IMO.

I have the Polaris issues somewhere in storage. I remember in X-men her power was stolen and her genetic code revamped itself and gave her super strength. Sue turned in a thing during Reed’s absent storyline and with the reappearance of the Submariner in the group. She first appeared as a somewhat busty/buff She-Thing in a strapless bathing suit and thigh high heeled boots in an issue of Excalibur during the “the Cross Time Caper” storyline. There’s a story in one of the X issues where a woman gets bigger and stronger when Havok uses his powers on her.

To specify each of Ashlee’s points (and she’s got a great memory):

The storyline where Polaris had her magnetic powers stripped by Zaladane was in Uncanny X-Men #250. She somehow acquired super-strength, invulnerability, and height (later revealed to be from the Shadow King although I never understood how that worked out – they sort of blurbed over that little fact). Somehow she triggered anger in others which made others around her act wild, also. In the initial issue she didn’t have any muscle at all. She appeared next in X-Men #253 but again no muscle although she is depicted with some on the cover. In issue #254 she’s finally drawn with some muscles as she takes on the Reavers. What’s strange is that all of these issues were drawn by Marc Silverstri, no consistency at all! These issues seem to be the C-List of X-Men characters. She continues to pop in and out of the next dozen or so issues as Marvel was breaking in Jim Lee on the title. She lost her muscles and those powers in one of the multi-part 1992 Annuals involving the Shadow King and his minions.

I explained the Sue-Thing in my previous post.

Ashlee is 100% on the first appearance of a Sue-Thing (other than the comical What If? issue around Vol. 2 #33). It was in Excalibur #14 on page 20. She’s sort of a funky She-Thing. You’d have to see it to believe it.

The storyline involving Plasma from Marvel Comics Presents #24-31 was covered in an earlier post. Havok’s powers did indeed power up Plasma who is the niece of the Living Monolith.

A little long winded I seem to be, young Skywalker. 🙂

We both seem to have read the same books, Ashlee. We seem to be the resident brain trusts for Silver/Bronze Age comics’ history. 😀

Donner was a fantastic character with the DC Imprint Shadow Cabinet. A mainstream female muscle superhero. She was definitely large and in charge! I cannot remember the original artist off-hand but he did a great job on her. Unfortunately, they slimmed her down in later series for some unknown reason (to me anyway).
