Partly from the telepathic effects of alien invaders, but mostly because he realised that humans were a bunch of jerks who made fun of the way he talked and didn't take him seriously.Jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03987383774108570495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-69867658642058588312009-06-25T21:58:47.311-05:002009-06-25T21:58:47.311-05:00People from Thar like fur because they had to slau...People from Thar like fur because they had to slaughter the original natives, Zook's people.

As seen in his first appearance, Polar Boy's "costume" was standard wearing apparel on his home planet of Tharr. But if the people of that planet evolved the ability to "radiate cold" to combat the extremely high temperatures on their planet, <i>why the frick would they wear fur-trimmed outerwear???</i>TotalToyzhttp://members.ebay.com/aboutme/totaltoyznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-28993443001587900972009-06-25T18:14:26.197-05:002009-06-25T18:14:26.197-05:00I love Zook.

For those not reading the insanity that is MM v. 2, J'onn takes on the guise of Marco Xavier in order to infiltrate the HQ of Vulture. Every few issues, MM would go back to Apex City (to read his fan mail, evidently) and run into Zook. Marvel is doing that Pet Avengers thing, but frankly, DC has them beat hands down.
