On the subject of X-Men, Wolverine had the adamantium bonded to his bones ripped out of him by Magneto. I'm not sure how long that state of affairs lasted because I gave up reading the X-books shortly after that. (Not specifically because of that event, I will add.)

The whole situation would have lasted from summer 1993 through late 1999.

Thanks! I remember Clark being a TV reporter in some later Action Comics I bought as a kid, but didn't know that this was the switch.
So what was the Sand Superman anyway, and whatever became of it?
IIRC, the Sand Superman was an extradimensional entity that was brought to Earth in the same accident that neutralized the kryptonite on Earth. It latched onto Supes who was caught in the explosion; he collapsed on a beach, and the Sand Superman formed out of the imprint he left in the sand. I don't know what became of the Sand Superman. I haven't read too many Bronze Age Superman comics.
'70s Superman was entertaining for preteen me, but they don't tend to age well for adult me. Still nice to get closure on open cliffhangers, though. :-) Thanks for the replies!

Dr Fate at one point in the 40s went from a full- to a half-helm; at the same time he began to be treated rather like an ordinary superhero with flight and heightened strength. Roy Thomas did one of his better continuity implants to explain that Kent got tied of Nabu's interference with his consciousness so transitioned to an ordinary metal helmet, while still maintaining the physical abilities Nabu had granted him.
In the 70s (I forget why) Supergirl had problems with her powers fluctuating, so she began to wear an exoskeleton to augment them. During this period she donned a variety of different outfits, all of which were designed to conceal the exoskeleton.
Not quite the same thing, but during the 40s both Chick Carter / the Sword and Hop Harrigan / Guardian Angel abandoned their costumed identities but continued to fight crime, while at the same time leaving behind their specialised equipment (a sword and glider wings, respectively). |
