Space Adventures #33
Charlton Comics Group (March, 1960)
Just like we did when the Ted Kord Blue Beetle debuted in the pages of Captain Atom. we’ll start Cap’s history with the anthology series he debuted in, Space Adventures, and will pick up the remaining issues later. This is another series that had its numbering taken over by a war comic but eventually got their numbers back. Hopefully I remember that when we start reading Charlton’s non DC-acquired titles in the future.
No credits given on any of the stories, but research says Captain Atom was created by Joe Gill and Steve Ditko, so I assume they worked on this story somehow. We have three tales and a text adventure, so let’s get started.

Did X-Men ’97 Ruin Rogue?
I need a filler today, so while I haven’t watched X-Men ’97 due to lacking Disney Plus, I can break out this video by JesterBell on it and can at least comment on things she said if not the actual series.
This is an attempt to revive the beloved Fox Kids X-Men cartoon, originally produced by Saban Entertainment and revived by Marvel Studios for Disney+. Personally I was more into X-Men: Evolution because it wasn’t like the usual X-fare, which I’m not a fan of. I’m not sure what fans of the comics would think about that show, but there are enough changes that they would have a right to be upset. I don’t need “my” X-Men but I’ll still enjoy the show while acknowledging they didn’t get the source material correct. Though I think there’s enough of the base concept in there to not be as bad as some other adaptations I could mention. JesterBell’s favorite character from that series is Rogue, a former villain turned hero, whose power to absorb memories, energies, and even superpowers was used to put the original Ms. Marvel into a coma for awhile, and Rogue still kept her flight and strength. She’s also had a long, complicated romance with Gambit due to her inability to turn her absorbing power off and thus not be touchable.
From what Jester Belle says in the video, Beau DeMayo’s attempt to push one of his favorite characters led to a shipping on part with Bruce Wayne/Barbara Gordon, except even more creepy. I’ll let the woman who knows the series make the case.
