Quote:Jack Kirby (Amazing Heroes #47): “There’s never been a god like Metron. There’s never been an academic god, but we have him now.
Edward Teller was a scientist of great repute, and probably a very nice guy. Yet he created something which can wipe out the human race. So too must Metron keep searching for knowledge, regardless of the fact Darkseid can use his discoveries for evil, as he has with the Boom Tube. Metron has his own drives. He wants to know all there is, and that’ll be his eternal frustration.”
Will post some more thoughts on Kirby's claim that there's never been an academic god...I think he is correct in some sense, in that Metron is arguably a Trickster of Scientism...
