[net.comics] Death to Miko

dub@pur-phy.UUCP (Paul Simmington) (10/21/84)

Greetings,
	It has come to the attention of some readers that Marvel
should terminate the character Miko.  I hope that this termination
does in fact come true.  It has become evident, in past romances in
Marvel, that they either separate or one dies.
	Let's look at the past of Logan to actually see what he
is really made of.  He was first connected to Alpha Flight and was
considered an asset.  He was given assignments like the fight with
the Hulk.(Ref. 1)  He proved his warrior abilities to everyone.
	When he joined the X-men, he tore the shirt of his superior.(Ref. 2)
This was our first sight of violence not directed towards an enemy.
He went and fought along with the X-men in many battles.  He almost
lost everything when he was placed in one of Doom's rooms.(Ref. 3)
Only his training and restraint saved him from becoming 'the animal.'
	With a past like this, we could hardly believe that he would
have enough control his animal side very long.  We saw this in the
Secret Wars when he nearly killed the Molecule Man, and later when
he was ready to kill Captain America.
	Marvel would be correct if they found some way to get Miko
out of the picture for good.  If she were murdered, Logan would
probably go into a berserker rage and never come out of it.
