Creature Commandos - Continuity

Continuity

  • The Creature Commandos mini-series is not billed as an "Elseworlds", but the author Tim Truman describes it as taking place "a second in the future". Various modifications were made to the team member's names and appearances. Truman renamed original team members Velcro and Myrna as "Velcoro" and "Myrra".
  • Truman said he based Patch's character on the DCU's Patchwork Man from Swamp Thing v.1 #2.
  • The villains in this series are old Justice League of America villains dating back from 1960 through 1963. Xotar's first appearance was Brave and the Bold #29. Simon Magus, Saturna, the Troll King are from JLA #2. Hyathis, Kromm and Sayvar are from issue Justice League of America #3. Tazzala is presumably some relation to Zazzala, who appeared in Justice League of America #23. Kraad is from Justice League of America #25.
  • The usage of Claw the Unconquered in this series is rendered true to his pre-Crisis origins.
  • Project M is shown as still active in current continuity, and at least once connected with Checkmate, and responsible for reversing the cyborg transformation of Maxwell Lord. With Orr as his chief and prominent member, Project M is directly responsible for creating Equus, enhancing the Wildebeest and exploiting Cyborg technology for military uses
  • The original Creature Commados appeared in Weird War Tales #93, 97, 100, 102, 105, 108-112, 114-119, 121, 124.

    “There is never a beginning, there is never an end, to the inexplicable continuity of this web of God, but always circular power returning into itself.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “If you associate enough with older people who do enjoy their lives, who are not stored away in any golden ghettos, you will gain a sense of continuity and of the possibility for a full life.”
