Spotlight on... COBALT MAN!

[Douglas Mangum]

An armored rival for Iron Man that Tony Stark has maybe even heard of, Ralph Roberts' original vendetta against Stark Industries was waylaid by his radiation poisoning. Reimagining himself as a crusading hero against the dangers of nuclear power, the Cobalt Man battled a strange sequence of heroes including the X-Men, Hulk and the Defenders. Believed dead for many years, Roberts was apparently well remembered by numerous imposters and copycat armored villains. In recent years, though, the original Cobalt Man has returned and may finally get around to proving which ferromagnetic element is better: Iron or Cobalt?

Finally! I’ve been waiting for this spotlight for 15 years.

You guys have officially scraped the bottom of the barrel.

This spotlight is a great example of how Monolith continues to try to make sense out of the nonsense. Everything after his Hulk appearances was obviously not researched by the writers/editors. It feels like writers continuously wanted to use the character for minor appearances but didn't bother to learn anything about the character's history. The fact that the original character shows up alive for no reason with the powers Tony Stark made up, perfectly illustrates that they just pick the traits of the character they vaguely remember.

Also by the way, there is no link to the Biography section on the Avengers site.

Oh please, this ain't the bottom. We still have Mammomax, Sketch and Feral to go yet.

@WWW: Should be good now.

[Quick and Dead]

Yeah, great job making sense of this one, Mono.
