Doc Terror misuses his 3D printer to bootleg Centurion toys.
The Centurions #2
DC Comics (July, 1987)
“Seeing Is NOT Believing!” WRITER: Bob Rozakis ARTIST: Don Heck & Al Vey COLORIST: Nansi Hollahan LETTERER: Agustin Mas EDITOR: Jonathan Peterson
Max, Ace, and Jake are interviewed about how they became Centurions. Naturally, Ace takes a liking to the lady reporter who isn’t what she seems and may be a threat to Skyvault.
What they got right: I give Rozakis credit for coming up with some good backstories for the Centurions and Doc Terror.
What they got wrong: Except that this isn’t the actual origin. This would be revealed near the end of the TV series’ run but this may have come out when the show was still a miniseries so I’ll give him a break. Still, it shows that you shouldn’t try to do what the TV show should be because you risk being proven wrong later. (See the DCAU tie-in comics.)
Recommendation: It’s a different origin, but one that appears to be thought out and a good story attached to it. Worth picking up.
