This thread is full of compelling arguments against.

 

Foom 2 did use the name Wolverine as a concept for a new character in a Marvel publication, before his first appearance. So why would it not be a proto type for that character. :popcorn:

 

Disclosure.

And I am not hoarding Foom 2 in hopes of selling them. I have one copy of it in my Foom set....that I will keep. :sumo:

Wolverine prototype? Looks more like a prototype for Machine Man visually. If all it takes is using the name Wolverine, there is a treasure trove of prototypes in the comics world that haven't been discussed yet.

Yes. Also some similarity to an earlier character, the Rigellian Recorder.

zzz Couldn't see that link making an appearance. Again. (thumbs u

 

A Water Cooler favourite.

 

 

 

There must be loads of Jesus on Toast threads in the WC :grin:

 

Actually, I made a mistake. Wikipedia defines Apohenia as "unmotivated seeing of connections".

 

There is a clear motivation on some people to see this connection:

 

 

It´s Green

It´s not the Hulk on the Cover

Looking at the Wiki entry...

 

'Apophenia /æpɵˈfiːniə/ is the experience of seeing patterns or connections in random or meaningless data.'

 

I wouldn't call the drawing in Foom 2 random or meaningless, I'm not that harsh, but maybe a bit trivial and generic at best. :)

That´s because you´re experiencing apophenia. :D

 

Anyway, what do I know? Whatever makes people happy. (thumbs u
