Mars Will Send No More 
I’ve got this issue, Mars, and I always wondered why he took it so easy on Big Ben (relatively speaking) while making soup out of the S.A.S. boys on the way in. Marvelman’s sense of humanity seems to phase in and out in a way you don’t see in similar characters. You can’t trust it. As a kid, I always thought Superman would be a cool guy to meet…at worst, he might lecture me about the dangers of hitchhiking or crashing people’s parties. Captain Marvel might have told me to study and drink a lotta milk. Marvelman…Jesus. Dr. Manhattan was nowhere this scary.

Manhattan was scary in a different way – a cold and distant way. He could have done something… but oops kind of busy looking at a subatomic particle. Like he didn’t care about people.
But Marvelman will soon begin to transcend the boundaries of human morality, in a similar but far more compassionate way. Not knowing what other issues you have seen, we will zip our lips for now concerning his moral development once he uncovers his true origin.
