Like old times ... a Shadowman question
I'm not exactly sure if this is a VH1 question or a VH2 question or a VEI question. Possibly it's about the video game.
I was listening to a podcast about a year ago by general comics fans who had a casual familiarity with the VU.
They were listing all sorts of information about the Valiant heroes which I knew was close but flat incorrect at best. But their heart was in the right place.
Anyway, they were listing Shadowman's powers and they said he could float in the air and glide room to room somehow. That's actually a bit spooky and would be a cool thing for a man of the Shadows.
But where did they get that from? Was that in the video game? The original past where I read? One of the various reboots?

I've been looking everywhere for the ultra-rare Turok vs Blister issue. Anybody able to help me out?

It reminds me of the cover of Shadowman #12. Everyone is floating.

Were they mixing up Shadowman and Dr Mirage?Oxmyx wrote: ↑Mon Aug 30, 2021 2:23:19 pm I'm not exactly sure if this is a VH1 question or a VH2 question or a VEI question. Possibly it's about the video game.

Re: Like old times ... a Shadowman question
Does anyone know if Shadowman floated or glided in the video game?

Re: Like old times ... a Shadowman question
Not that I recall; Raziel in Soul Reaver did which had a similar world-switching motif, so that could be a conflation.

Re: Like old times ... a Shadowman question
Yeah, I'm not sure that's in any Shadowman powerset, at least not that I remember. Can he even fly or float? I don't remember any of them doing that. Definitely not any version of Jack.
