Talk:Hepzibah (comics)

Appearance

In an attempt to get this cleared up once and for all, I'm willing to bombard Marvel with questions about when they actually made the change. I'd just like to know who to call/write/email. Thanks! Blast ^{[improve me]} 06.06.07 0456 (UTC)

I think it was when Jim Lee started drawing her, circa 1990. She was always meant to be feline, mind, but when Corsair met her, he decided her bushy tail made her look very much like the skunk Mam'selle Hepzibah from the Pogo strip, so he started calling her by that name. 194.171.56.2 12:03, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

She states in her 1st appearance "My people are feline" and Corsair used the Hepzibah nickname because he couldn't pronounce her true name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.42.134.91 (talk) 19:43, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

The only person to draw her as a skunk, at least up through UXM #201, was Cockrum. Byrne, Paul Smith and JRJR drew her all-white, no stripe. Through that point, nobody ever referred to her as a skunk, and she was frequently referred to as "feline."

I cannot figure out when the skunk thing was added, or where the "Mephistoid" term comes from. Wiki really needs to cite that info to an issue number, because it's not clear to me that it's true. It seems like fan speculation to me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:30A:C08C:A6F0:21C:B3FF:FEC3:2572 (talk) 15:10, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

The term "mephitisoid" was used in the OHTMU, and has never been used in canon. On the other hand, Hepzibah calls her people "feline." I'd say she's a cat, not a skunk.

The Image

I think the image should heavily feature Hepizabah's tail. After all, not many X-Associates have one ... Lots42 01:01, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Okay, tail or no, the current image is just plain -awful-. She looks like she's melting. Lots42 (talk) 09:12, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

hulk>>?

"Hepzibah also aided the Hulk in rescuing some of the Hulk's people from the alien forces of Troyjan"

since when does the hulk have people.... can you bring some context to this statement. or expand it a little further? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dr noire (talk • contribs) --Dr noire (talk) 22:09, 13 January 2008 (UTC)22:05, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

For the record, the Hulk has invaded New York with an alien army. Lots42 (talk) 07:06, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Oh, wait, my bad. During the Troyjan incident, the Hulk was a LOT more sane and worked with the Pantheon (comics), a very violent force of do-gooders. Lots42 (talk) 07:07, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
