And of course, Cary Bates' Captain Atom was also the title wherein Neil Gaiman's Death was established as the avatar of Nice Deaths, wherein the decedents passed away Nicely, while Kirby's Black Racer was the avatar of Warrior Deaths, while Green Lantern villain Nekron was shown to be the avatar of Horrible Deaths...It sounds like Bates may have had an axe to grind against character exclusivity. •• More a case of "DC Think" -- a place for everything, and everything in its place. Ironically, this became an obsession with the same company that, a few years earlier, had been all over the map with characters who duplicated or even contradicted other characters. (I've often mentioned when the Blackhawks battled Martians who had nothing at all to do with J'Onn J'Onzz.) This could also be called "E. Nelson Bridwell Think".
