It wouldn't surprise me. In a book im reading about nationalist superheros, they specifically mention the similarities between Nelvanna in those old books and how Byrne made her snowbirds mom in alpha flight. And tall puck ain't a bad choice easier,although I think he stated that he found the black blade of Baghdad in the 1930s.
