It wasn't that big of a deal because in the 80s people had thicker skin. Now we are so hyper-sensitive to everything that there is always someone to find offense in the most mundane things.

It finally makes sense now. Mindbender was called "The Interrogator" on Serpentor's filecard, right? I guess he was interrogating/torturing people with that cattle-prod thing? I never really knew what that was or why he had it. Of course, I'm not sure why an interrogator would be creating a synthetic humanoid from the world's greatest conquerors...

I think I first heard about this in the late 90's.
IIRC, it's the edit that's the scarcer of the two. The controversy is also why Hama talked Hasbro out of making Dr. Mindbender an outright torturer, saying that groups like Amnesty International would protest. Mindy still came with that cattle prod, though. |

It wasn't his idea; it was Golobulus's using a psychic motivator.
Or in the comic book, it was supposedly Dr. Venom's idea. |

The biggest controversy with Zartan is that he did not come with a bow.

It means the reason Fox pulled a billboard ad for X-Men Apocalypse showing Apocalypse choking Mystique. They apologized for offending women. That's the kind of wussed-out BS he's talking about.

I would think so. That's definitely the one I had as a kid. Controversies probably bubbled up slower then without the internet and cable news so it probably took a while for the card to be revised. But aren't they for amnesty? I would think they'd be on Mindbender's side. Amnesty means you pardon criminals.

Yeah, it totally makes as much sense as anything that Dr. Mindbender as a mad scientist would create or help create Serpentor. I just mean the part on Serpentor's original file card where it says he was created "under the direction of The Interrogator and Destro." That always seemed a little weird to me. I get a scientist messing with DNA and stuff, but it seems kinda outside an interrogator's wheelhouse, ya know?
