Koloth from TROUBLE WITH TRIBBLES.

And Kang from DAY OF THE DOVE

 

[KevanG]

He was that guy from that awesome DS9 time travel episode? Neat.

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

The episode where all of them show up on DS9 is a fave of mine. The actor who played Koloth, William Campbell, was actually Rodenberry's first choice to play the veteran Capt. of the Enterprise D when TNG was in the planning stages.

1. False

2. Peter Wyngarde, the actor, was the basis for the look of Mastermind (Jason Wyngarde) during the Phoenix Saga; which was written by Claremont.

3. Eyes.

In what may or may not also be "inspiration" on Claremont's part, he got the look of P. Wyngarde from the episodes he had done on a British TV show about a freaked out orgy club (The Hellfire Club?). The name of the show? Why THE AVENGERS of course. t:

About question one... I think this was something that happened, just not something MARVEL likes to talk about in the 21st Century. Can we get an outside judgment on this? Was this retconned or something?

I never knew anything about that, so I just guessed no.

Yeah, I just checked out some stuff via the Google machine. Seems that the events of the special Spidey/Power Pack issue from 1984 were in fact referenced in a later issue of Spidey's in 1987.

No idea on number 1, but for number two I have the year 1985 bouncing around in my head...

You are correct about the character, KevG. I won't reveal the name yet in case somebody else can come up with it, but give yourself a Scooby Snack.

@Retrogradeorbit: Yeah, you were close.
