Well, look who we have here. Just in time for her mini-series, and in time for her prominent role in the latest JLA epic, we here at Slay Monstrobot have decided to hop on the bandwagon. So here's Vixen, in her debut 28 years ago (feel old?).
In Metropolis, Superman is trying to stop someone from hijacking a shipment of furs, when:
Now, surely Vixen couldn't take on the Man of Steel, could she?
Well, I guess she can. And just to prove that Superman is, well, a man, he does take the time to remark on her physical appearance while getting the snot kicked out of him.
Oh, poor wittle Clark got scratched (SPOILER ALERT: the Tantu totem is magic). Now, if this story had happened in the 60's or early 70's, a whole subplot would have spun off about Clark somehow having to hide the fact that he had the same scratches as Superman, lest Lois Lane find out his secret identity. None of that nonsense for Gerry Conway, though!!
Anyway, after a trip to Africa, and under cover reporting, and poaching, and smuggling, and zzzzz, Superman and Vixen hook up (not that way!). He goes on to deal with the manly task of coralling stampeding elephants...
While she takes off to stop a fat guy with a pointed stick.
Wait a minute...maybe she just stood toe to toe with Superman...but can she handle A FAT GUY WITH A STICK?!?
Well, I guess she can. Carry on, Vixen!! I don't advise you, however, to try that "scratching with magic claws" stunt on Bahlactus...he'll laugh while busting you up!!
Mari McCabe beats up a fat guy with a stick...oh, and Superman, too...in Action Comics #521 (1981).
