He was probably on a kind of probation, returning after a period of being incarnated in Don Blake as a lesson in humility by Odin.<br />Crackin' Hyde's skull open right there on the sidewalk might not make the old man too happy, although the Odin of Norse mythology wouldn't have cared either way.<br /><br />dangermash, I googled that Patrick Troughton guy and I do think I can see a resemblance there. Interesting face!<br />He was the guy who played the fallen priest in The Omen. <br /><br />M.P.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-58858502805733858402021-04-05T20:15:05.910-04:002021-04-05T20:15:05.910-04:00The history of Hyde and the Cobra turned out to be...The history of Hyde and the Cobra turned out to be one of the most extensive in Marvel, mostly leapfrogging between the <i>Captain America</i> and <i>Spider-Man</i> titles. I stopped following it after the early '00s, but, like the Energizer bunny, it just kept on going. Many of those stories were in the (admittedly delightful) habit of the Cobra (by then, <i>King</i> Cobra) finding himself at a disadvantage against Hyde's strength and rage, but managing to not only survive but to somehow get the better of his brutal foe. I actually found myself rooting for the Cobra (who, if you're going to root for one of two villains, was by far the more entertaining of the two!).<br />Comicsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10064955427593820783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-16506405145384899362021-04-05T17:49:18.411-04:002021-04-05T17:49:18.411-04:00A couple of years after that, Murr, Cobra and Hyde...A couple of years after that, Murr, Cobra and Hyde are back in ASM 231-232 with Hyde seeking out revenge on Cobra. T(e writer and artist in #231 are quite clever in how they show a shadowy figure following Spider-Man and Cobra around looking for revenge, making i5 look like Juggernaut looking for Spider-Man. Only in the last panel is it revealed in a splash page to be Hyde looking for Cobra.<br /><br />Whether Hyde and Cobra appear together after that I have no idea.dangermash aka The Artistic Actuaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15669793446608643884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-88221642355691869222021-04-05T10:40:25.831-04:002021-04-05T10:40:25.831-04:00When I was in Art College, we were advised against...When I was in Art College, we were advised against ever using famous folk as a reference. "You just might be better at art than you think you are, and get a lawsuit as a reward for your talent."<br /><br />In <i>Captain America</i> #251-252 Mr. Hyde was willing to destroy New York City to punish/kill Cobra for perceived treacheries.
