Ahead of the No Man’s Land storyline, readers learn that Jean Paul Valley, the man behind the antihero Azrael, gets around in a New Beetle. It’s an amusing detail that a masked crime-fighter would choose one of the cutest, most unassuming cars on the road for his everyday driving.
The contrast between a brooding vigilante and such a cheerful little hatchback adds a touch of levity to the character. Small details like a hero’s choice of car can humanize comic book figures, and Azrael’s Beetle is exactly the kind of quirk that sticks with fans long after the story ends.
