message: I thought I recalled from somewhere that Comet was not a metahuman - that although he was the apotheosis of human evolution, his powers were not metagene related.  Is there a source that he's metagene positive?  TheronJ 19:05, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's mentioned in the 2006 miniseries, but the date/publication of the actual retcon is not clear.  Anybody? --Canonblack 20:23, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  It's made clear in the first story (Strange Adventures #9) that he is a mutant (page 6 panel 1) and also in #10 (page 5 panel 1). Both also have a small text box explaining what a mutant is. The word is also used in ref at other times in the series. 
Never noticed before, but nowhere in the original series does it actually link the comet that appeared when he was born to his powers, just that he is a 'throw-forward' to 100,000 years in the future.

thread_title: C-Class rated for Comics Project

message: Apparently Jerry Siegel's original concept for Superman has many similar conditions to Captain Comet. While, yes, Captain Comet wasn't born in the future, they are both examples of peak humans from the future and in Secret Origins Vol2 Annual 1, Comet goes through the same process of breaking world records privately but deciding to keep it secret. Maybe this is too much conjecture on my part but is it possible that Captain Comet was created in response to reusing the rejected superman origin?
