So Where is Ressurection Man During all this

[Mac Danny]

I miss me some Ressurection Man!! Certainly any character that is immortalish should have a part in any universal Crisis.

Any thoughts on ressurection man?? You Miss him, hate him, wish he was involved in crisis???

Yeah! Resurrection Man was cool. He played a great part in DC 1M too.

Luthor would probably kill him permanently with a single stab of a knife though. :p

I loved Resurection Man as well, but I'm not sure I remember how it ended correctly. Wasn't Mitch Shelley depowered when he, Vandal Savage, and Immortal Man confronted the tektite meteor being thang at the end of the series? Did I just imagine that?

I know he was alive and kicking in DC 1 Mill. In Fact wasn't he the one who ultimatly killed Vandal Savage?

He even had this cool wrist thing that would kill him in different ways that he could select his powers.

I loved the issue where he turned into a chick cause of the higher pain threshold.

Yeah, he was the surprise show-stealer in DC One Million, and his book alluded to him heading towards that world beater/master strategist direction (even if it was just telepathic tampering making him feel like a member of the JLA), but as the book neared cancellation, Resurrection Man teamed up with the Forgotten Heroes to uncover the secret of Immortal Man, discovered that he was not, in fact IM, as had been speculated, and joined IM and Vandal Savage in confronting some kind of tektite meteor being/event that had been responsible for their powers (or in Savage's case, his immortality). I'm still a little vague on the details, but I'm fairly sure that Mitch was depowered and allowed to start a new life to make up for the old shadier life he had lost at the beginning of the series. I think the idea is just to chalk DC One Million up to the vagueries of Hypertime, and enjoy it for what it is, rather than figure out where it fits in continuity.

That's not to say that he can't regain his powers at some point, I guess, but Abnett, Lanning, and Guice wanted some sense of closure (and control, I'd assume) on the character that truly elevated their respective games. (And Guice was always good, but man, was his art gorgeous for RM!)

Resurrection Man was the first work I've heard of DnA. I read the 1M issue and was blown away. Since then I'm a great fan of DnA and Butch Guice.

I think Resurrection Man come up with the plan to defeat Solaris, but it was actually Chronos who killed Savage. I loved that that mini gave the smaller characters such big roles in the story.

[Aaron King]

I don't think he was depowered. Immortal Man sacrificed his life to kill the tektite monster, but Savage and Shelley were both fine at the end. I'm pretty sure that's how it went. I just read it a month ago or so.

Ressurection Man was very cool, but I don't want him to appear in Crisis. He'd be permanently killed for shock value. That's no fun.

Chronos did steal John Fox's time gauntlets for Vandal Savage, but reprogrammed them to send the future Savage back to Montevideo only seconds before it was destroyed by Savage's modified Rocket Red nuke. So, in a sense, it was Savage who killed Savage in DC One Million.

I really loved Chronos, too. Walker Gabriel was a great rogue.

I really loved Chronos, too. Walker Gabriel was a great rogue.For years I kept hoping that he'd pop up somewhere in the DCU.

And then he does, and he gets killed in JSA by Per Degaton.

Even with the fact that the cosmic reset button got pushed at the end of that storyline . . . Feh.
