He also managed to blow up a racist's superweapon arsenal and save Superman's life in a pretty cool story.<BR/><BR/>It's a damn shame he was written out of the Superman books.

First time ever! As our favorite Martian said, she would appear as an occasional background character in GLC even after Stewart got married.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-1141077912712795122006-02-27T17:05:00.000-05:002006-02-27T17:05:00.000-05:00She WAS in the last 50 or so Green Lantern issues ...She WAS in the last 50 or so Green Lantern issues (from the 80's)...

Who then started dating Ron's much younger sister, who really didn't like Ron and Lucy's relationship either. <BR/>That all seemed to be building to something until a new creative team came in.<BR/><BR/>At one point, shortly after Y2K, I had my first letter printed in a Superman comic, which in part asked about all these dangling plot threads. Like "what happened to Hypersector, Metropolis's 'neighborhood of tomorrow,' after Y2K? Shouldn't it be the 'neighborhood of the day after tomorrow' as a result?" and other such bothersome things.Tom Fosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13796424725228769265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-1141058782419474602006-02-27T11:46:00.000-05:002006-02-27T11:46:00.000-05:00No, but Superman is the cause for him being adopte...No, but Superman is the cause for him being adopted, since he as partially responsible for his orphanage being destroyed. With Keith having no one for taking care of him (since the person in the charge of the orphanage was killed by DNAliens that lived on Metropolis sewers) the Whites decided to adopt him. <BR/><BR/>The funniest thing is that he became Keith Roberts WHITE after being adopted.Julio Oliveirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03191222684432534567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-1141048455856767792006-02-27T08:54:00.000-05:002006-02-27T08:54:00.000-05:00"the terminal stages of AIDS or something."Hm.
