I just don't think that The X-Men really fitted in with the TREK Universe. Perhaps a character like Thor or Dr. Strange would be more practicle, but even that would be a bit akward!

I was talking about the Fantastic Four's Torch... not the DH> original (although both of 'em are good candidates for solo mini- DH> series IMO). I would imagine that if there was to be a solo series for the Human Torch, it would go to the original, because the Silver Age Human Torch is more of a team-player and is so well identified with The Fantastic Four. However, I am sure that Johnny Storm does occassionally depart from the team and fights on his own. I been kinda hoping that the Original Human Torch would have done a hitch in place of Sub-Mariner in Marvel Team-Up and have both Human Torch's team-up with each other, with some mentioning of Toro in their conversations. Like thinking of how much Johnny reminded him of Toro. --- Maximus/2 3.01 * Origin: EVERGREEN ONE,Cashmere Wa.ZyXel 2864 28.8 (509) 782-4259 1:344/91)
