I don't know... Chiaki strikes me as a very Silver Age concept. If you're from Japan, naturally you know martial arts and carry a sword. And yes, stereotypes are a heavy part of Silver Age storytelling, but it's not like the Golden Age, where they were openly racist. Usually the Silver Age's main fault in that regard was is clueless stereotyping or, conversely, blatent and heavy-handed attempts to be progressive.




No reason there couldn't be a Hallie mainframe... her introduction to the Legion had nothing to do with Visionary, really.




The Silver Age is full of crazy technology... usually as or more advanced than anything likely to show up in the modern age. I'd say the main difference is then writers didn't give a hoot to the science behind it, or one thought to *how* a device would do something. Mass is created out of thin air, unbreakable laws of physics are shredded, incredibly complex machinery is fit into ridiculously convenient sizes, (and conversely things that would be simple and small technology in our time is huge and elaborate.)

Most of the Parodyverse technology is already Silver Age in style, if you strip away the self-aware part of the gag.




Sounds spot on.




Interesting.




I shall go read it!
