>>100840637The obvious physical similarities between Shadowy and Venomous seem like a red herring to me. Once you start looking, there are a few characteristics that are more in line with Laserblast, like the shape of the nose and body. My theory is that SF is trying to raise his son to be a great villain, make K.O. his heir in a way.
Something may have happened to Laserblast after the indecent that turned him to evil, or he may have ben a villain all along and he staged the indecent to be free of his heroic alter ego.
