I'd go with DC's attempt to get hep to the jive and be cool like Marvel. Stan the Man was just naturally cool, but the suits at DC just couldn't pull it off. There's little that's more pathetic than old men in their 50s (like me) trying to be "with it."

I'd love to have been in the meeting when DC publisher Jack Leibowitz asked the staff, "What can we do to show the kids that we're in tune with them?"

And someone replies, GO-GO CHECKS!! :rolleyes :lol
