I dont think Millar even created the people in question. Didn't Ellis create that whole series?

I made a mistake there. Max was right. So the first time machine should have been invented ten minutes after HG Wells` book was published.
  Alan Moore sent super heroes into the Vietnam war about 19 years ago. And I just read about it last week (in Watchmen).
  Actually, it`s not all that edgy to question a war which a lot of Americans are questioning anyway. I remember Iron Man, after being started fighting evil commie warlords in Vietnam, going back there and discovering that a sniper was, sob, just a kid. He (Iron Man, not the kid) then flew into the air and blasted a huge, poignant `why?` into the ground.
   Dunno if Capt America ever questioned the Vietnam war, but I remember he was so disgusted by the Watergate scandal that he changed costumes completely (like that`s going to achieve anything...about as useful as writing `Why?` on the ground in a Vietnamese jungle)
(pauses to sing `reminiscing`)
  What is LGF anyway?
