Indeed he would.


> Hatman is steadfast in his beliefs. I enjoy that. He is a rock that you can always rely on. He’s tough, not Donar class perhaps (unless he has the Steeler’s hat on) but he never gives up. Look at him in the Black’s Crossing trilogy, or during the Parody War. That was awesome inspirational Hatman. I like having a character like that around. It is this determination, even against overwhelming odds, that makes him a good read.

Good examples. I also liked the story where he went mano a mano with the Onslaughter.


> He also has been involved in what I would suggest is a quintessential Parodyverse romance. That with Whitney Darkness aka the Sorceress. Perhaps Visionary and Hallie comes close, but Hallie isn’t a poster character, while Whitney was, and that gave it a whole other dimension. It also worked against it in the end, true, but both characters have moved on from it now in a way which I also feel shows that relationships can end and people can move on in a realistic and believable way.. I think Hatty still has more to give on that respect though, I’m not convinced Zendeka is the one for him – so I wait to see what happens next.

I enjoyed reading the entire arc of the Hatman/Sorcy relationship, and thought it ended in a beliveable, satisfactory way.


> Of course, his power is great and unique as has already been said.

Yeah. His powers really do allow for a lot of creative applications.


> It’s actually been a while since we had a Jay penned Hatman story. I’d like to read one.

He's written a couple post Parody War which have been up to their usual standards.


> Or how’s this – if “Steve” feels that Hatman is past his used by date, why don’t the rest of us call a “Hatman Week!” where we each write a Hatman story for that week?

> I’m game!

Ditto.
