Title: Odd thought about "Superman: Last Son of Krypton" Post by: Captain Kal on April 14, 2005, 03:57:31 PM Towbee's homeworld and the galactic cultural melting pot of the book is called Oric.
Spell 'Oric' backwards you get 'Ciro'. Make the 'C' hard instead of soft and it's pronounced KI-ro, or Cairo. Cairo was a cultural melting pot on Earth during WW2 per movies like Casablanca. I wonder if Maggin's Oric was intended to be the galactic equivalent of Earth's Cairo? I don't think the backwards name is an accident. It's only missing the 'A' to make it Cairo backwards. |
