Much to my surprise, he now has a lady-friend who is not only Irish, but is a sympathiser with the IRA. Now, how is Marvel gonna work their way out of this one? I mean, you can take a stand on bizarre (in this case, unknown) religions (such as the bunch of monks with Elektra: hey, remember Elektra? Now, *that* was a character) and get away with it. But the IRA? Heck, look what is going on here with the IRA, and most of us are intelligent. I suppose they could try and get away with making all the characters involved to look like they're wrong, but somehow, I smell a bit of Marvel brand moralism wafting in the air..... -- Laurie Sefton {harpo,ihnp4,allegra,decvax}!pur-ee!pucc-h!afo ~As he lay out the tarot, the devil and death, two old and very dear friends of mine, appeared.~
