Hey Chelik, ever notice how sidekicks get more depth than their heroes? I was digging up the history of the old comic‑book character… you know, the one who never got a proper backstory but is a legend in the collector’s market. It’s funny how the universe treats the same.

Exactly, the sidekick who never made it to the big screen gets a whole mythic genealogy while the hero just keeps an air of… mystery. Take the original “Red Specter” – we know he lived in a crumbling lighthouse, lost his family in a freak storm, and became a ghostly vigilante. Modern editors have simply replaced that with a “he was always a ghost.” Meanwhile, the hero’s arc is left as a blank page that readers just assume is deep enough. As a collector, that’s the kind of half‑remembered lore I’m hunting. If we’re going to preserve these stories, we need to give every character a full chapter, not just a vague brushstroke.
