Martinex1: Look up to the sky, but protect your eyes - the solar eclipse is on schedule today across much of the USA. And in conjunction with that theme, let's compare and contrast some moon and sun based characters. Who was the best solar spun entity? And who was the best lunar based legend? Let's discuss heroes and villains whose names are derived from the celestial bodies. Who eclipses whom, in this battle of the light vs the night?
And what about the master of both - Eclipso? Was he a top-tier villain? He did have his own series after all.
I am sure I did not capture all of the celestially symbolic characters - so let us know who we missed. And definitely let us know who is the most worthy of our attention; point out some good stories for us to search for. Without further ado, a total eclipse BitBA style...
 |
| We have not discussed Solar, Man of the Atom much at BitBA - is he a bright spot? |
What about DC's villainous Dr. Moon or Dracula's nemesis Dr. Sun?
Feel free to discuss Blue Moon and Moon Maiden from modern DC history.
 |
| And no discussion of the firmament could be complete without the wondrous Moon Knight. |
 |
| But what of Midnight Sun? The sharp dressed fedora wearing martial artist of the spaceways? |
 |
| How about Moonstone, the sly whisperer in the ranks of the Thunderbolts and the Masters of Evil? |
Who would you pair with Devil Dinosaur, the ancient Moon Boy or the modern Moon Girl?
 |
| Don't forget the Legion's Sun Boy! |
 |
| Or the decades old Sun Girl. |
 |
| The New Mutants' Sunspot? |
 |
| Or the New X-Men's brief member Sunfire? |
So take it away - stay in the shade and let us know what you think about the solar and lunar luminaries of the four-color world. And as a side note did anybody follow Eclipse Comics titles.
