 Way back in 1972 (Magellanverse time-wise, that is) a popular superhero sacrificed his life to stop the invasion of Earth by murderous Q'Arth demons - that young man was known as Magellan. In the wake of his death an academy to train future heroes was founded - as was Force Magellan a team of defenders drawing its membership from the very best superheroes on Earth (and beyond). If you're interested in more of that history check here and here. Some generations later we arrive at the current roster of Force Magellan: Vertigo (team leader), Ranger Bill, The Heirophant, Epoch, Tros and of course Hoodoo. Within the pages of Magellan the focus is usually on Epoch (father to frequently irate and immature cadet Charisma) although all the others have also had a chance to show what they can do - most notably Hoodoo in the Bad Karma storyline. Next Monday will see Mindmistress, Energize, Hoodoo and the rest of Force Magellan home in on those pesky Death-stealing Doppelgangers... as well as some other Magellanverse bad guys. Hmmm... I wonder who they'll be? -Stephen |
