Tyr would do a lot better in Marvel.

Granted, this is because the Marvel version would actually be Tyr as in the Norse god as opposed to Tyr, the guy named after a Norse god. I’m pretty sure they only called him that because he fights stuff and he’s only got one hand.

Dude what’s with all the cable hate? nathan is actually a character that was a GRRR HARDASS but developped from the gritty antihero to the reluctant messiah becoming one of the greatest superhero & contradictions (a powerful messianic leader who’s at the same time crippled by the T-O virus & fighting against the perverse side of social darwinism symbolised by En Sabah Nur).So yeah! Cable is AWESOME & FAR DEEPER than what writers or comicbook critics make him out to be,read casey, nicieza & weinberg runs for that & remember joe q & jemas interrupted the character because of some fucking x-over event conviniently spitting on character growth.& dont get me started on Bishop what marvel did to him was just a heresy

For some reason I am thinking of how annoying it must be to go to the loo with that one.

I can’t speak for MGK, but I don’t get the Popsicle Pete thing at all.

So what’s the story with Space Mr. T?

Let us not forget, there’s a pecking order of lameness.

Tyr was the only piece of cannon-fodder in the Legion of Super-Villains with the honesty to tell fellow LSV arch-lamer-namer Radiation Roy, God save us, that his name sucks. Which it does.

“The name is Radiation Roy, Tyr, not Radiator.”

“Change it. It’s stupid. I don’t associate with stupid people.”

Pot, kettle, black, yes, but he still slagged off a guy who could make him sterile with a snap of his fingers — his finest hour! (sarcasm)

Tyr is lacking in many things, but testicular fortitude ain’t one of ‘em.

You’d think with all the characters constantly killed off in every Crisis we’ve had the last 20 years, someone would have buried this guy and be done with it by n… (zombie Tyr rises up with a Black Lantern ring) Damn you Geoff!

The concept of a Tyr action figure, in tandem with the review, just made me think of a child pulling off Tyr’s nonrobotic arm to replace it with a robot arm.

It’s a pity, because in general being the head of an organization (Or, in this case, “warlord of the mobile planet Tyrraz, which apparently sounds cooler than it is) gets a villain some credit from me – it’s a common trait of top villains like Doom or Darkseid. And it just seems to make more sense to have the head of a big group as an adversary for a spacefaring union of superheroes – a solo villain just comes off as stretching himself too far, trying to terrorize whole galaxies single-handedly.

How does get his arm back after he shoots it at someone? Does he just go up to the guy he shot it at and ask politely? What’s the etiquette for that?

Okay, did Dave Cockrum do He-Man figure design? Because seriously, that looks like a He-Man figure.
(Which means I find it nostalgically awesome)

Say, who’s the DC equivalent of when you’d decide to give your Barbie a fashionable bob and instead she ended up looking like a heavily made-up mental patient?

Oh, come on, no love for “one of the warlords of the planet Tyrraz, from which he derives his name”? Let’s see, the warlords of Tyrraz: there’s Tyr, and Raz … Nope, that’s pretty much it, at least since Yrra got bumped off.

Anyway, the Tyr figure had a gimmick where you squeezed his legs together and his missile arm would pop up and fire.

Did it play bad jazz music while this was happening?
