[...] Man 2.0 #1. I might keep reading this just because they gave at least a passing mention to Rhodey’s stint in The Crew in the character history text piece. Also, there is apparently a story where War Machine travels [...]

Well, I considered using “developing nation,” but W’Kabi or someone makes fun of Tony Stark for calling Wakanda a “dn” when it’s actually much more developed than parts of the West…so I reached back to “Third World,” which sort of conjures up the West’s more general paranoia about Otherness. Trapped by language!

Yeah!! At your behest, Prof., I checked out both the Panther and The Crew. I, too, adored the "Enemy of the State" issues, and the chess game between the African monarch and the American capitlistic icon. For once, the idea that the Panther was a king--of a nation with a different history and culture--was truly addressed. (And of course I loved the Future/Past Krazy Kirby Panther). I have to briefly touch on the term "Third World," which I think is a bit outdated. Might we use "developing nation," please?
