DeFalco/Frenz Retrospective: The R.I.G.H.T. Project

 

Writer: Tom DeFalco
Penciler: Ron Frenz

Synopsis: Jeffrey Lopez is able to hook up to an A.I. that can manifest itself in the real world. 

Comments: The cover seems to be taken from Daredevil #31 with the dialogue from Amazing Spider-Man #1. 

The comic was originally titled Mr. Right, when it was being intended for publication at Image Comics and the hero is still called that occasionally in the comic. 

Doctor Dex Click reminds me of a younger, more groomed version of Deacon from A-Next. 

A government agent called Big Brother tries to steal the technology, but is easily defeated when Jeffrey brings Mr. Right online. 

There must have been some retooling from the finished project, because I don't remember flash drives around in 1999, when the comic was originally penciled. 

This guy looks like The R.I.G.H.T. Project's version of Phil Urich. 

A small error, the wrestling mogul, was named Imperious Rex, but is called Iperious Rex in one panel. The name is a variation of the spelling on Namor's battle cry "Imperius Rex." 

Most of Mr. R.I.G.H.T.'s moves are taken from The Tumbler in Tales of Suspense #83 with a little of Captain America in Tales of Suspense  #93 and #98.
