MJ Simpson wrote:Realistically, if you're going to exclude TV movies, animated films, stuff based on newspaper comic strips... how many theatrically released feature films have there been based on characters who were created in comic books? Answer is: a few dozen so the likelihood of one character being in a run of four is pretty small and, apart from Jackman and Reeve, you're unlikely to find another one. There are a few more but that's the bulk of them and it's only 60 films. In the grand scheme of things, with the restrictions in place, this is a minute subgenre. And look: Supes, Bats and X-Men are the ONLY franchises to have made it to four theatrically released live-action features. So the answer to the thread title is a very simple and obvious 'no'.

And after he did come out in comic books, he was picked up as a comic strip. Also Zorro was published successfully in Dell 4-color Comics and then when Disney made the Guy Williams TV series, Dell continued with a rather successful comic book series with photo covers.

Regarding the Egyptians, one usually distinguishs between the North Africans and the Sub-Saharan Africans. One usually calls them Arabs (other than the Coptics and so forth) since the ancient Egyptians did not speak Arabic. (I will have to check into the situation of a sub-Saharan African disapora in North Africa. Intermarriage between Arabs and slaves may have occurred as roughly frequently as intermarriage between European descended citizens and descendants of slaves in Brazil, in contrast to the social prohibitions in the US South on such arrangements.)

People (Homo Sapiens) did not originate independently in different parts of the globe, but originated in Africa and migrated from there to the rest of the world.

You can't switch back and forth, flip-flop or etch-a-sketch, are you referring to ethnic genetic differences (skin color) or cultural differences (language)? Make up your mind, you are confusing the heck out of us.
