When I was reading this run of Spider-Man, I was really digging on DC's initial Blue Beetle series. At the time, I couldn't shake the thought that Cardiac's costume looked a lot like Ted Kord's Blue Beetle (mixed with another BB villain called Catalyst). Now, I'm looking at old Cardiac and thinking to myself: "Damn, this costume looks a hell of lot like Jaime Reye's version of Blue Beetle." Must be the pseudo-Apokolip-tik (spelling intentional) Kirby lines in the costume. It’s funny.

"Don't expect any mercy from me. I'm a <b>heartless</b> son of a bitch!" "Stroke three, you're out!"

“Don’t expect any mercy from me. I’m a heartless son of a bitch!”
“Stroke three, you’re out!”

Oh wait. That one's taken. ------------------------------------ By the way, are you sure his name isn't "Cadillac?" *makes joke about Black people and Caddies* Brutha could have a speech impediment. “I’m gonna give you a shock to your system!”

I used to think that McFarlane was slippin' from time to time, then turned out it was Larsen trying to put on a good show. ..and yes, Garth is quick like that! Still, I'd like to hear any other <i>Cardiac</i> jabs, though! I had one last night, where he'd dive into battle screaming, "<b>INFARCTION!!!!</b>", ala <i>Imperious Rex!</i> West, you may be on to something about Larsen though, bruh.

Garth got the best comment in, already. Anyway, I remember those Larsen days. I was just "green" enough to have been fooled by the transition from McFarlane to what I later considered to be a McFarlane-clone, in Erik Larsen. I'm not sure I'd say that now, but I don't think it was just a coincidence that he followed up McFarlane on Hulk, Spidey, and who knows what else. Dammit. Garth got the best comment in, already.
