No bids since the first 12 hours. I'm calling shenanigans! P.S. Just re-read the book there is still some stuff in there that had me literally laughing out loud.

What did I miss? Her father in the show is Abdul Faoul and he had the scarab and then she got it back. She is a sort of hybrid. Her name is Layla El-Faouly. Probably to give the show a female hero. Pretty common with the tv and movie versions to change some of the original representation. MisterX 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense but if that really makes people go speculate on Scarlet Scarab comics, they're nuts. That's a character I needed to remind myself even existed. batmiesta, comic_memories and MR SigS 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAR1979 Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 (edited) Let me guess "unlimited upwards trajectory" on Invaders 23. "It's the best investment in years". Sell your WBN32's, your Hulk 181's, your GSX1 's your Batman 251's and buy all the Invaders 23 you can.
