I must be the only comics fan out there who actually liked Triathlon (or at least I appreciated the narrative function he was intended to fill). I can think of lots of characters worse than poor Delroy. Cei-U! I summon the track shoes! You're not alone. I thought Triathlon was fine, no where near "worst character ever" or even "worst Avenger ever". After the Triune storyline wrapped up he didn't seem to have much purpose, but he was good while he was there. |

Other than a search for 3-D Man in Atlas, I don't think Delroy's been seen since. |

I loathed the TEAM TITANS more than anything by the Image guys 'cause the Titans' creators actually had some talent. ![]() |

I can think of lots of characters worse than poor Delroy. Cei-U! I summon the track shoes! I gotta say, I liked him. But I was always a fan of ol' 3-D Man, and I dig legacy heroes. Plus, he was awesome in the Agents of ATLAS series. So yeah, I'm in favour of Triathalon. |

 I submit today...Marvel's White Rabbit, not to be confused with DC's character of the same name. To be honest, both of them were pretty bad, but I'm far more familiar with this reject from an off-off-off-off-off Broadway production of Alice in Wonderland.
Backstory is that Lorina (maiden name unknown), as a young girl, was sheltered and became obsessed with classical literature, most notably Alice in Wonderland (big surprise, huh?). When she reached her twenties, her parents married her off to a wealthy gentleman in his 80's, and the thought of being a trophy wife caused Lorina to snap. She either killed or caused her husband to be killed, then used his money to fund her entrance into the world of super-villainy as the White Rabbit. Her first spree of capers was brought to an end by the team-up of Spider-Man and Frog-Man, making her more lame than a guy who dressed up like a giant frog. It would have made more sense if she'd chosen the Red Queen or even Alice instead of the perpetually-behind schedule White Rabbit, but I guess this allowed the artist to dress her up in a costume akin to a Playboy Bunny. |

He's such a big fan that he'll work on anything with the characters, no matter how bad it is. However, it give us a beautiful moment in Books of Magic Annual 2 where Mark Millar rips on the Titans, and Phil is forced to draw Tim Hunter's Other being a total d!ck to them. (Back when Millar could still write, but perhaps foreshadowing what was to come down the line.) Really funny story. Vertigo needs to collect Peter Gross' BoM run. |

He was definitely around for Civil War... he had some glasses from the original 3D man (or someone from the Atlas universe) that let him see Skrulls... I THINK he was in CW's incarnation of the Skrull Kill Crew, in fact. |

I THINK he was in CW's incarnation of the Skrull Kill Crew, in fact. That Atlas series was a few years after CW. It would have been just after Chaos War, if I'm not mistaken, so we'd also have World War Hulk and Secret Invasion. Was he with the Skrull Kill Krew during SI? I gave up on the mini and most of Marvel's output during that period. |

Oh, I though the Atlas stuff was during Civil War. I definitely remember with the Skrull Kill Crew, or at least intro'd to them... I've not read them, though, so I can only guess he was there based on the lead-in elsewhere

I've always liked Marvel's White Rabbit. She is whacky, and someone who is just into supervillainy for the sheer fun of it, which is something that is way too rare in today's comics where it seems every supervillain (and most heroes) must be a mass-murdering rapist. |
