Hey there, Zalagang!

With this app seeing wider use, Connor's decided it's probably good to have a presence here for podcast updates. He is still keen to stay off social media, so this account is maintained by friends.

Years later, Jason Aaron and Chris Bachalo's Wolverine & The X-Men reimagined Quentin as an antihero on a begrudging quest for redemption, a new kind of sidekick for Logan. This version of the character became enormously popular, and is difficult to square with the previous take on the character.

Charles Xavier's young protégé, Quentin is an omega-level telepath who becomes a threat when he's radicalized by the destruction of Genosha. His ill-fated scheme, the Riot at Xavier's, is one of Morrison's most memorable story arcs.

In this episode, Connor and @scottfree.bsky.social disrespect their elders with Quentin Quire, the cavalier Kid Omega! Created by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely, Quentin is one of the most iconic figures from Morrison's then-polarizing and now-legendary run on New X-Men.

They are an iteration on a similar earlier team, the Special Executive, which was created by Alan Moore with a succession of artists. An oddball gang of alien misfits, Technet have become iconic despite their relatively scanty publication history because they're simply that memorable.

Recently, another alternate version of Mariko — this one created by Japanese writer-artist Peach Momoko — was the protagonist of the celebrated series Demon Days and its sequel Demon Wars.

After her tragic death in a 1992 story by Larry Hama, Mariko's memory haunted Wolverine until her resurrection in a 2018 arc of Old Man Logan by Ed Brisson. In the interim, an alternate universe version of Mariko — her world's version of Sunfire — was a regular cast member in Judd Winick's Exiles.

Created by Chris Claremont and John Byrne, inspired by the character Mariko Toda from James Clavell's Shōgun, Mariko is the daughter of a Japanese noble house who becomes the great love of Wolverine. Over Claremont's run, she becomes the formidable leader of the politically powerful Clan Yashida.
