    Sure, but we’re really in “exception proving the rule” territory where you have to reach back to 1972 for an environmental plotline.

      Come on, man. You are portraying a scenario when I opened all comics starting now and stopped when I reached a first one with environmental theme? Is this arguing in good faith? The image is old because it’s an important part of his worldview for a long time. One of his enemy from this year is named “Fresh Water Killer”.

        I’m not doubting he’s pro-environment, but my original comment referred to characters defined by their environmentalism, and the fact that you’re pushing him so hard as a candidate off something that’s very much a secondary characteristic proves how thin the field is overall.

          What his primary characteristic in your mind?

          I agree how the filed is overall. He’s a very small represnetiarion. But I stand by that he’s a valid one.

            Put it this way, none of the writers of the Wikipedia article on him have included mentions of environmentalism anywhere close to the opening paragraphs.

            Though ironically enough, given what the thread was originally about, the only reference to a environmental activism I can see in there is one where he infiltrates a gang of eco-terrorists to take them down…
