To Quote Wikipedia:

During the Civil War, Texas Twister was recruited by the Thunderbolts to help round up un-registered superheroes as a way of working off the public properties he accidentally destroyed when he was drunk.



To Quote Myself:

I bet partying with Texas Twister is awesome.

    This dude was a trivia question in the Marvel Scene It game.

    I think you mean that this hombre was a trivia question.

  3. 3 Ray Cornwall said at 11:27 am on March 3rd, 2009:

    It’s sad that I know that’s Keith Pollard and Joe Sinnott, isn’t it?

  4. 4 Ryan said at 11:28 am on March 3rd, 2009:

    As a longtime resident of the Lone Star State, such potrayals of Texans used to offend me. I believed that such outrageous stereotypes were juvenile and offensive. But then one leaves the bubble that is Austin, and it’s sort of like, “ohhhhhh… right.”

    And, yes, I’d buy the first round for the Texas Twister. Someone who looks that much like he’s applying for a role with The Legion of Substitute Village People deserves a Shiner Bock.

    He’s just a low-rent version of Terra-man.

    It’s not! It’s Perez isn’t it? From the first appearance of the Texas Rangers in Fantastic Four, I guess around… 1978?

    What I really wanted to say before I geeked out was: Is he related to that other southern super-hero, Texas Titty-Twister?

    I bet Texas Twister has excellent taste in beer. If Texas Twister owned a microbrewery, I’d buy beer from it.

  8. 8 Kevin Church said at 1:56 pm on March 3rd, 2009:

    It is a George Perez drawing of Texas Twister there. Man, how far he grew, huh?

  9. 9 revD said at 2:31 pm on March 3rd, 2009:

    I had no idea Perez started out as a Kirby Klone. How much of that is the inker’s doing, d’you think?

  10. 10 Kevin Church said at 2:52 pm on March 3rd, 2009:

    For a period in the 70s, there was a real cookie-cutter Marvel style that was a derivative of Buscema and Kirby. Pollard and Buckler were the primary practitioners, but other artists fell sway through inking. This changed in the late 70s with guys like Miller and Chaykin and Simonson coming on-board.

  11. 11 MarkAndrew said at 3:01 pm on March 3rd, 2009:

    Yeah, except for – Who? Colan and Ploog? Anybody else? Everyone was kind of doin’ their best Buscema knock-off back then.

    Strangely, at about the same time, the WRITING in Marvel comics was as good as it’s ever been, with Gerber, Engelhart, and Starlin just repeatedly knockin’ it outta the park, and even the lower-tier writers pulling off the occasional Tomb of Dracula or Master of Kung-Fu.

    (On Topic: Always had a fondness for this kind of “Fuck You fanboy, I’m hardcore goofy! kinda character. And TT might be the best of the (Non-Stegron) lot.

    If he were created today he’d probably be the Texas Tweeter.

  13. 13 Richard J. Marcej said at 3:11 pm on March 3rd, 2009:

    Ah it figures, I meant Twitter but type Tweeter.
    I think I need a drink too, hombre….

    3% Rex the Wonder Dog.

    Anyone else remember the really lame “Southwest Avengers” type team that included this guy they tried to get off the ground in the 80s? I know Red Wolf, the man who WEARS A WOLF CARCASS AS HIS MASK, was in it…

  16. 16 Mike Walker said at 7:28 pm on March 3rd, 2009:

    Texas Twister drinks Lone Star.

    I think those Southwest Avengers included TT, Red Wolf, Phantom Rider (a southern hero who dressed all in white), some chick called Shooting Star, and … honestly, that’s all I remember.

    I’m pretty depressed that I remember even that much.

    The whole “Southwest Avengers” team also included Firebird. And then they were all made the Texas Initiative team. And added Armadillo for a bit before he got cut loose. Forcing him to get into 4th tier Mexican wrestling. Where M.O.D.O.K. recruited him to steal the most powerful engine in all of space/time…

    Oh great. The one storyline of Civil War that I would have enjoyed, and they never actually got around to telling it.

    Nobody gets that it was a joke in the first place? Thomas and Perez introduce Yosemite Sam to the Marvel Universe?! ( He power is that he is a human tornado! And look at the colour scheme! And who isn’t a fan of Bugs Bunny? If you are going to work for Marvel you may as well have some fun with it.
