Since I read Jeff Smith's take on Captain Marvel (very good, btw), I've been thinking about how Alan Moore has corrupted the character for me. Here is a list of moments on his Miracleman runs that just completely mind-blowing:
- Michael Moran relearns his magic word in the middle of a terrorist raid on an atomic research center.
- Miracleman's power are scientifically explained; the body-swapping technology is also addressed.
- Child birth in a comic book???
- Miracleman kills his maker, Dr. Gargunza; his origin is retold in a way that isn't just an orphan gains magical powers, but an orphan is kidnapped for a military research project with alien technology.
- Miracleman kills Kid Miracleman.
Kimota!
