I don't imagine Tony Isabella fans are too fond of him, but as retcons go, I thought he was cool. Also, he was necessary to pre-Zero Hour continuity, and it was cute how he was eventually used to set up Golden Eagle's heel turn. These fanfic posts were constructed pre-New 52, so they were valid in their time.<br /><br />That said, Fel Andar would by necessity be a completely different animal in a truncated "five year" timeline. He could still replace Hawkman briefly and have sire Golden Eagle, but the timeline would have to be seriously reconsidered. I dig him, but would advise a massive reworking to make him relevant to the new continuity.<br /><br />There simply is not enough difference in this costume for anyone not trained to examine it for minutia to see this as anything but Hawkman. Even pre-nU, he'd need far greater distinction. It might have been fun to play up the "Carter Junior" angle by giving him the Golden Age mask with the angry beak and tongue, which always seemed transgressive anyway. Maybe give him archaic weapons not associated with Hawkman, like a scimitar or a sickle? A color change would also be in order. Hell, put him in a variation on the '93 suit, maybe using silver in place of gold, but keeping the villainous black?Diabolu Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685199809207954223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6863067557730775717.post-70553148205177725192012-10-11T07:52:57.386-04:002012-10-11T07:52:57.386-04:00I think this is exactly how Hawkman himself ought ...I think this is exactly how Hawkman himself ought to look.
