If I was younger I'd call him an antisocial psycopath, but tbh we could probably use less people and more dinosaurs...
Only issue is that it has to remain indiscriminate, and maybe move him around the globe a bit.
more dinosaurs
We've got more than twenty-six billion (and growing) just in chickens alone; I'd say that's more than enough when it comes to dinosaurs.
If I had cancer, I would see that as an absolute win.
Shit, even as a healthy (if overweight) man approaching middle age, I'd be tempted to volunteer for dino-gene therapy. "You mean I could continue life as I am and watch my health slowly fall apart or I could be a dinosaur? Can I still talk to my family? You know what, nevermind. Where do I sign up?"
It's like this Active Adult Community we drive by on our way to our favorite campsite.
Since we're not all dinosaurs right now, it's safe to assume that his plans were thwarted.
Stegron is, somehow, a whole other (yet remarkably similar) character, with practically the same goals, so it's easy to confuse them.
(Frankly, sounds like Len Wein and Gil Kane might have forgotten Sauron existed and independently reinvented him, from how similar they are; there must've been something about turning people into dinosaurs in the early Marvel zeitgeist, I suppose, since they're both quite ancient characters, Sauron having been created in 1969 and Stegron in 1974...)
I read this issue digitally through Marvel Unlimited.
I'm not sure which story arc it was, sorry.
He could charge for that. I reckon people would queue around the block to be turned into sentient dinosaurs. He could be one rich dino dude with huge fanbase of folks who've got his product and idolize him. That's bound to work out well for everyone...
Pretty sure that's from the spiderman x-men crossover where spiderman becomes a teacher at Xavier's. It's a pretty short run with just a few issues and a really good read imo.
Mad paleontologist doesn't know that Pterosaurs (which he turned himself into) are not Dinosaurs.
