Kazar (yeah, I know already mentioned) and Namor are not only pre-marvel, they're pre-timely.

[Dave2739]

GA Human Torch and Toro. There was even a mini series in-continuity a few years ago with nice Alex Ross covers where they fought The Mad Thinker.

[KirbyJack]

If anyone remembers The Headmen from The Defenders, many of them have pre-hero Marvel roots. Chandu appeared in TOS #9, but that's the only specific I can vouch for.

The Headmen.

Between them and the Elf with the gun, BA Defenders story arcs were bate crazy

I guess he just refers to the fact that the prototype ones in this case (the ones which are parents to that mermaid) are graphically identical to Ben and May. Ditko just decided they were OK, so either Peter has a mermaid cousin or they adopted the mermaid.

Graphically and by name.

 

Definitely a mermaid cousin

 

Just waiting for the cool story line to show up.

Gerber was brilliant.

That was precisely what I was thinking!

 

There must be some good sides to times where anything goes…

Gerber was brilliant.

And not only "bate crazy" for sure. Gerber was a deep, coscientious and great writer, not only for his originality or the bizarre elements.

 

Man, Omega must have been one of the most important reads I made as a kid.

What the heck! I never saw that Weird Wonder Tales.

Now I need to get it! (also the Dr. Droom ones, although I’d prefer the originals).

[porcupine48]

I couldnt believe, after reading my copy of Mens Adventures ,that they brought Gorilla Man into the modern universe...

Thank you to retrocomics btw,and,enough commas for you,KPR?
