Yes, she, er, he was published by Quality Comics in the 40's. You would probably recognize their characters because DC later bought them: Uncle Sam, Quicksilver (aka, Max Mercury), Black Condor, Plastic Man, etc.. I'm not sure if Fatale ever teamed-up with any of them, but they did exist in...

What about the original Carl Kolchak (the Night Stalker)? No powers, not physically skilled by any means, and no innate knowledge of the supernatural (he had to seek out experts to learn about each monster he fought).

While he probably did recieve basic training, he was in the medical corps. Being an army doctor is different than being on the front lines with a gun in your hand. If we stretch things out like this, you may as well rule out every character whose ever hunted because they're trained to use a...

Dr. Watson (of Sherlock Holmes fame). Madam Fatale. A golden age heroine. Well, actually, a hero. He was Richard Stanton, an actor who fought crime disguised as an old woman. The idea was that his foes would underestimate his speed and strength. His only "special" skill was his acting...

Comic book artist Carlos Meglia (Star Wars: Underworld and The Adventures of Superman) died of a heart attack on the 15th. He was 51.

I once had a dentist named Dr. Coole. The town I grew up in had a Dr. Payne (I think that's how it was spelled). I can't imagine there were many kids who were anxious to go to a dentist named "Doctor Pain". :) My mom knows lots of people with funny names like Tony Zamboni and Beverly Heverly...

Oh, come one, Ankh-Morpork Guard, are you really trying to tell me that Will Eisner didn't have this image in mind when he created The Octopus? It's like Frank Miller is channeling Eisner or something! It's spooky! :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

It started great, but completely jumped the rails by the end. So, the Daleks are gone...again. What's this been, the third time they've been proclaimed extinct? Of course, we didn't actually see Davros die, so I suspect he'll turn up again with *surprise* a whole new generation of them next...

My jaw hit the floor when I first saw this. Watching it again, I can appreciate it more. Personally, I think comics have gotten waaayyy too dark (I'll die happy if I never see another body count, rape, or political message comic), so maybe we need some fun. Just as long as it's better...

I thought it was almost perfect. I just wish they found another way to end it without the Lion-Turtle. That just came out of nowhere. I'm going to miss Sokka and Toph. I was actually worried during the airship battle. For a minute, I forgot this wasn't anime and was expecting 3/4 of the...

This episode reminded me of The Thing From Another World. Unfortunately, the Doctor isn't the hero of that film, but Dr. Carrington. In that movie, the alien needs blood to survive and it kills one of the sled dogs and some of the men. It later disables the camp's fuel supply. With no way...

"Here, let me try. My dad used to fix experimental military engines in his spare time. He taught me a thing or two." :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Okay, my original one sucked, so I redid it. Much better. :) Oklahoma State Highway 10 Subject To Diminishing Returns http://www.flickr.com/photos/johopo/2633009138/

If you didn't like the first couple of episodes, you probably won't want to watch the rest. Let's put it this way, I actually liked the first few episodes, and I gave up on it just before the end of the first season. Oh, I was lured back for season two when I heard the "it gets better"...

Comic book artist Michael Turner (Fathom, Witchblade, and Supergirl) passed away Friday night after an eight year battle with cancer. He was only 37.

A guy who worked for the government is accused of a crime he didn't commit. He now earns a living helping other people, all the while trying to clear his own name. It's The A-Team! Michael is Hannibal (the thoughtful leader). Sam is Faceman (the ladies' man). Fiona is B.A. Baracus (the...

I don't think so. She wasn't a "dying leader" so much as a "quickly killed leader". I mean, if you stretch "dying" to include the few minutes from your injury to your death, it's kind of a worthless prophecy since it covers pretty much everyone (most people don't die in a fraction of a...

AFGNCAAP, your player sounds like two guys I gamed with in one group. The first guy didn't have any respect for other people's things (he'd just reach over and touch your stuff, write on your notes, etc.). He also would spend the entire game badmouthing people. He'd be nice to their face...

Yeah, I kind of doubt it's Earth, too. Not only because of that, but doesn't the prophesy say that the dying leader wouldn't make it to Earth? I'm calling a "fake out" on this one.
