Who Was Who Is Who #29

So for want of anything better to write about on a Monday, I'm going to go through all my copies of Who's Who and see if I can predict who will make it over to the new DCU by the end of 2012, who might make it and who hasn't got a Midnight's chance.

MATRIX-PRIME - an old Supergirl villain, I kinda doubt that we'll be seeing this "mobile robot factory" turning up at any point soon.

Global Guardians #3 - Our European Cousins

For the next few weeks, I'm going to be running through the DCU appearances of the Global Guardians post-Crisis, pre-Flashpoint (or at least all the appearances I have) and wonder why they never had a title of their own and find out where they are now. Or were, pre-Flashpoint.

After the events shown in last week's instalment, Jack O'Lantern and Owlwoman are seen safely ensconced as part of the Queen Bee's retinue following her usurping of the Bialyan throne. The Justice League, helpless in the face of her overwhelming support from the Bialyan people, leave with their tail between their legs.

Not long after that, Invasion! takes place where various alien races band together with the Dominators to try and take over the Earth. At the end of that, a decision's made to increase the scope of the League's activities and Justice League Europe is created, based in Paris which, you may remember, also houses the Dome, home of the Global Guardians.

How Creepy Is Simon Stagg?

Some of you may be wondering who Simon Stagg is - he's the closest Metamorpho came to a recurring villain/archenemy character.  Stagg is the father of Metamorpho's wife Sapphire and in the second issue of Metamorpho from 1993, he displays his true colours:

That is wrong on so many levels - she's his daughter but he wants to "hold" and "touch" her . . .

How creepy is Simon Stagg? Very.
