Cosmic King must still be bitter that they didn't put a word in for him.

They thought he had magnetic powers, and when they found out he didn't, they realized they had the wrong script prepared

I had this weird thought while in a car ride coming back from an airport that Cosmic King should have been another lost survivor of Trom, but has a different take on the universe from Jan.

Especially in the Preboot version, it's conceivable that there could have been other survivors!
Reboot version, not so much

Not many, but I think you could make the case even in the reboot. It would be a situation where it would be a very unique event, as it should be, but it can work.

well, space travel HAD reached Trom then, maybe someone else had stowed away somewhere... or the Daxamite White Triangle members missed a spot when they scorched the entire surface of Trom!

Yep I figure it would be one of those two options.
The other thing, and this is I think what triggered this as I had been listening to a LOSP podcast ep covering that issue, is wouldnt someone have taken a little time to synthesize some kind of a fireproof bubble to ride out the devastation? That's probably how I'd take it.

they did have those Trommites trying to save themselves with an inertron shield, but we see the combined heat vision piercing through that. guess it was implied that if even inertron couldn't withstand the heat vision...

Perhaps they transmuted their environment to replicate the look of tromites, unable to survive a heat vision attack. All the while escaping through a transmuted tunnel.

Which they would have transmuted into something less deadly.

Seems a bit inappropriate to be having discos on From.

Life in a busy Metropolis can be tough. The noise, the speed, the super villain take overs. Sometimes, it seems like an endless noise So, if you have a screaming pain in your head Try original, safe Tyroc Buy now, before stocks vanish with Marzal

I had original brand Tyrocs too, until they changed the recipe. Now it just doesn't taste the same.

I'd not be surprised if DC considered gangster as an occupation for him, such was their racial awareness.

There does seem to be a bit more diversity, going only by the covers and ads. But it wasn't that long ago their ideas for a Green Lantern of middle Eastern origin, was have him involved with terrorism and crime. And have him carry a gun, alongside a power ring.

One idiot with an idea is one thing. But for it to go all the way through their plot conferences, editorial and publishing and still make it out the door, says a lot about the values of the entire organisation. In that, they're about the same as they were when they started.
