Yeah, you make a good point with that disagreement and I actually agree with you to disagree with me (if that makes any sense).
One of the great things about superheroes is that they have long careers and they change over the process of them (Blue and Red Superman? Weapon X Wolverine? C'mon). So I'm actually OK with different versions of the characters. But I'm more interested in getting a wider roster before getting a bunch of repeats. And I'm mostly interested in seeing us stay consistent with things like power names and how we treat certain weaknesses (thus the Healing Factor/Kryptonite issues I raised in the NM24 thread).
