Description

1987 was right after the "Crisis on Infinite Earths" series from DC (which all you 30 year olds and under got to re-experience with the 2005 "Infinite Crisis" seqeuel), where all the Earths (1,2,3,4,5,S,X,Prime, etc). merged into one to clean up the DC continuity. One of the Earths brought into the DC universe at this time was the old Charlton characters (designated Earth-4 for the purist or anal retentive) such as the Blue Beetle, Shade, Captain Atom, and the Question. Here is his first appearance in the DC Universe, courtesy of the master of disaster himself, George Perez. This page also contains my first "comic book urban legend" for this issue. FROM COMIC URBAN LEGENDS: DC obscured Peter Cannon�Thunderbolt during Crisis on Infinite Earths because of uncertainty whether they owned his rights. Peter Cannon�Thunderbolt had different rights issues than the other characters that DC purchased from Charlton Comics. So a long-standing rumor has been that DC was not sure they fully owned him when it came time for Crisis, so they obscured his appearances in the book (and then didn�t use him again for years). And sure enough, when you check out Crisis, Peter Cannon�Thunderbolt really does not make much of an appearance. They don�t even mention his NAME there! This page is our only notice of his name. FINALLY, I (the author of comic book urban legends, not me) checked with the artist of the book, George Perez, and he DID recall, and he gave me a pretty definitive answer�"If there was any ownership issues regarding Peter Cannon, I was totally unaware of it. Any vagueness in my depiction of the character was due to my not having sufficient reference and not really knowing what powers the character had. I thought he was a speedster."
