I suppose no one has the comic of Conan I have mentioned. You are excused. The comic really exists and to me is the best. I remeber Conan in a castle, not his castle, and a very sexy blond girl hit him on the head putting him unconscience. Then, she pulled him holding his arms from the floor...somehow after that he is on a ship and is challenged by a member of the crew. The fight was very short and the guy ends up stabbed with the knife on the other side of his body, actually carrying him with the impact, then Conan threw his body to the ocean. Umm, this is grotesque, but he is a barbarian and the world (comics) in which he is is the same. Okay, I brought my piece. I guess I owe it.

I've been reading X-men Deadly Genesis and the preview for issue five looks a lot like a beefed up X-man standing over cyclops. Can anyone identify who that is?
It's explained here:
Spaceship
In Tales of the Green Lantern Corps ANNUAL #2 (1986), writer Alan Moore pointed out an odd discrepancy in Hal Jordan's origin story: why would Abin Sur, capable of flying through space on his own, need a spaceship? He answered this question with a story of how the hero once vistited Ysmault, a prison planet for an ancient race of demons, the Empire of Tears, vanquished millennia ago by the Oans.
While there, Abin Sur met a demon named Qull of the Five Inversions, a humanoid with a gaping mouth in his chest and a tongue-shaped head, crucified by three glowing spikes topped with the symbol of the Green Lantern Corps. This unholy messiah predicted the hero would die when his power ring ran out of energy at a critical moment, while he was fighting an opponent or unprotected in hard vacuum. Abin Sur, worried by this prophecy, began using a starship for interstellar voyages, as an additional safeguard.
A decade later, fleeing his enemy, his spaceship collided with a girdle of yellow radiation around Earth that rendered his starship and his power-ring useless within moments. Had he relied on his ring alone, he realized, he might have tested the planet's magnetosphere before rashly entering it. Thus, while Legion may have wounded him, it could be argued that it was Qull that was actually responsible for Abin Sur's death, having sown the seeds of doubt in the Green Lantern's mind.

Ever realized that 90% of space accidents happen when Earth is the nearest habitable planet? I wouldn't go near Earth if I could.

what a long winded explanation... i woulda just said he was using it at that point cos his ring couldn't effectively attack or defend from Legion on it's own.... no need for the whole other story part
