TVXOHOF, FEBRUARY 2003: REMEMBERING MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.

In February of 2003, the Television Crossover Hall of Fame inducted the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. as a multiversal historical figure.  There have been several portrayals of Dr. King in the Tooniverse, including a "What If?" scenario and two from Skitlandia.  He's been cloned; he's come back as a ghost; he's been transported into his own future; he survived the shooting.

Until some established TV character encounters King, I think the portrayal of Paul Winfield in the mini-series "King" will stand as the definitive televersion.  (There are advantages to being the first.)
