Interesting! I'm just beta-reading a story (for commercial publication) set in the pulp-fiction 'verse of the vigilante crime-fighter The Black Bat, whose alter-ego Tony Quinn has been blinded. In that case, he has secretly recovered his sight (and then some) and maintains his cover by pretending to be still blind.

Anyway, yes, I saw some pulp-comic tendrils swirling around Deucalion, for sure. Good point!
