"Show of Hands."

There's every possibility I might blog a Sleepwalker comic between typing this and posting it, but my impression was Sleepy wasn't real well-versed in traditional social graces. Still, he's trying.

That would be my guess too. Of course nowadays he’d have the internet to help educate him since his Rick wouldn’t be much help there. Of course with the internet, god help him, because he’ll be lacking context on SO many things.

“She’s busy, man.”

Depending on how Vision works (and I don’t know if even the people who actually read Marvel comics regularly fully understand), this could work. Red Tornado almost definitely would but I’m not sure how much of a rip-off they are of each other.

They’re similar in that they’ve both gone through the whole android with a soul thing as well experiencing being human-ish & having relationships with human women. I’m sure DC was inspired to go that route once they saw Marvel do all that with the Vision.

Red Tornado only showed up two days after the Vision (and the genesis of the idea predates Vision by over 5 years anyway) so I think it was one of those cross-pollination things. I know DC and Marvel writers/artists were friendly with each other around that time and talked about what they were doing. There were a few similar characters/storylines in each that showed up within a couple of months of each other.

I meant more, does Vision’s body have any special powers or is it all mental stuff? Red Tornado has a couple of physical powers that might help here and I’m not sure if Vision has anything similar.
