History:
(Spidey Super Stories#26/2) - Col. Jameson gave
Spider-Man flying lessons in a jet trainer with tandem seating.
However, a sharp maneuver generated shockwaves that caused a doorway
through time connecting to millions of years ago. Intrigued by the
bright lights, three dinosaurs wandered through, then the door faded
away. Jameson and Spidey landed safely when Jameson received a call
about dinosaurs headed to New York City. Spider-Man rushed off to help.
(Spidey Super Stories#30/2 (fb) - BTS) - Considered the best astronaut, Col. Jameson was part of a mission to the moon.
(Spidey Super Stories#53/5 (fb) - BTS) - Col. Jameson
collected moon rocks as part of the mission.
(Spidey Super Stories#30/2) - Col. Jameson landed
back on Earth. The villainous Kraven, hunting the best in the world,
saw Jameson as a prime specimen and entranced him with a hypnotic flash
from a pretend camera. Driven away from the landing site, Col. Jameson
was then mounted on a display board along with several others
considered the top examples of their kind, including members of the
Electric Company. Investigating the disappearance of his friends,
Spider-Man found Kraven's hideout and, after defeating Kraven, freed
the captives.
(Spidey Super Stories#53/5 (fb) - BTS) - Col.
Jameson's moon rocks were put on display at the museum.
(Spidey Super Stories#53/5) - J. Jonah Jameson
accompanied his son, Col. Jameson, at the exhibition, which was also
attended by Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson. Col. Jameson defended
Spider-Man's reputation when his father derided him. But the criminal
Meteor Man burst in and, obsessed with extraterrestrial rocks, stole
the moon rocks. Col. Jameson tried to stop him, but was knocked away
and the villain fled while Spider-Man reinforced the damaged ceiling.
On the crook's trail, the hero Cat arrived and they formulated a plan
to capture Meteor Man by (falsely) claiming that the largest meteorite
had been found. Col. Jameson helped at the stakeout at the museum the
next day when the returning Meteor Man was caught in the trap.
Comments: Created by Nick Cuti &/or Jim Salicrup (writer), Win Mortimer (pencils), Mike Esposito (inks).
Physical stats (except hair color) are taken from the Earth-616 version, as they look very much alike.
Unfortunately, he showed no such capabilities as his Earth-616 counterpart in becoming Man-Wolf. Doggone it, that's a bit ruff!
So what was it that caused the time doorway to open?
Maybe a new type of engine? Or perhaps it was Kang
playing around? They were over land, so it wasn't the dimensional door
in the Bermuda Triangle.
