    Firestar had two origins. The first was the Saturday morning cartoon Spiderman and His Amazing Friends. The second was a 4 part limited comic. Which do you think was better?

    I enjoyed the comic LS a lot. It really delved into her character and personality more and added the X-Men universe and intertwined the two. There wasn't much they could do in a 30 minute saturday morning kids show. The LS I thought was a lot better.

    Its a bit of topic, but in the cartoon, Iceman and Spiderman were boyz, but you never see them team up in comics, Firestar either.

    I think the limited series was better, 'cause as PolarisJunkie said there wasn't enough time to explain to origin of this character... and the series included her in almost the whole Marvel Universe...

    I agree with PolarisJunkie and RedFlame (your English looks great by the way).

    Never thought about that. It would seem logical for Drake and Parker to be friends growing up they were both born in N.Y.

    I've always enjoyed the LS, too. I wish they would have the three of them team up again. Maybe not a cartoon, but throw them together in the comics. Bobby and Peter play off each other well.
