As the World Turns

Apparently, but yes that's a good point and reminds me of the previous discussion we had about Ultimate Galactus looking like a human. I can accept that maybe an alien race can get cancer, but when such a powerful being who belongs to a technologically advanced race can't be cured of it...I mean, come on. :roll:
well this is where i step in....
being as though im the resident capt marvel junkie..
As nurhachi pointed out, genis is his son....but that wasnt always the case...
Genis was pretty much a test-tube baby that was aged to however old he is now....he was pretty much a failure...a drunk and even wore a ponytail for a while.. He popped up in silver surfer for a while under the name "legacy" as in the legacy of captain marvel... At this time Photon(monica)was known as Captain marvel, as the original gave the name to her upon his passing....
If anyone is follow thunderbolts, Genis is now calling himself Photon and his ditched the name (marvel (the company) is up to something) and will fight Photon : Monica (as he fought some other guy in the past for the name captain marvel)
As for the cancer....it had a specific name to it...some kind of gas cm was exposed to gave it to him over time...i used to be a fan of genis only..but after collect the original series (which i value more than any other comics i own) show that the he is no match for his daddy...the kevorkian of comics...(no not bendis), jim starlin (yeah the guy who killed jason todd)
killed marvel as the book was failing to sell when he got the job as the writer/artist....
rumors are now swirling that the original marvel will return due to house of m...but that remains to be scene..
As for the ult cap marvel...its a mixture to shut fans up....its obviously meant to be the original ultimized....but Ellis doesnt plan to kill the guy anytime soon, so he merged the two names to leave fans in the dark.
