When I was a kid in the early Nineties, my friends and I were really into X-Men, and we made up many good and evil mutants of our own. One of the first new X-Men was Mercury, a sixteen year old female shapeshifter whose natural state was liquid. I recently learned that in 2003 Marvel introduced a character named Mercury, who’s also a shapeshifting liquid sixteen year old girl. This must be a coincidence, but it’s a little creepy.
