Dazzler was based on the look of the actress they intended to play her in a movie. The first design was based on Grace Jones, but that casting didn’t work out and so the design was never used. The second design was based on Bo Dereck and this is the design we saw early in her run.

Dude; EVERYONE who is a fan of hockey knows all the funny quotes from Slapshot by heart. Any French-Canadian between 30-70 years old considers that movie a cult classic, as a famous Québecois actor (Yvan Ponton) had a role in it. The voices were dubbed by french-canadians, as opposed to the totality of movies at that time, who were dubbed in international french, so we had so much fun hearing our own accent in an american movie.

You said that actor Jack Palance inspired 2 comic book characters and you even mentioned that he played Dracula, but you failed to mention that the character of Dracula from Marvel's "Tomb of Dracula" was made to look like Jack Palance.

Jackman's look in the early part of the first X-Men movie is a pretty good match for Paul D'Amato in Slap Shot...especially if it was unintentional. When he's cage fighting, or when he first wakes up in the mansion (before he puts a ton of product in his hair 😆), he looks a lot like Doctor Hook.

I prefer Jackman's look in the first X-Men movie. He is less muscular, (and visually less tall) but I thought it fits Wolverine better : with his claws in his arms, Wolverine should look like a normal person, not a ripped giant.
