 Hispanic Heroes Month


Firebird

Bonita Juarez is a Mexican-American woman born outside Albuquerque, NM.  She was walking through the deserts outside her town when she stumbled upon a radioactive meteor fragment and was doused in it's radiation, which altered her DNA and gave her the power to generate fire and fly. 

Being a devout Catholic and a social worker, she thought the powers were a gift from God, so she donned a costume and proceeded to go 'God's work', fighting crime and protecting the weak. 

She initially teamed up with the Rangers a group of Southwestern heroes who didn't really work together too often.  It was later she worked beside and later joined the West Coast Avengers.   Since she's left the team and rejoined several times.

 Badass Birthday

On this date in 1927 in London England, Roger Moore was born. 


Roger Moore was the third actor to play James Bond in the series (after Sean Connery and George Lazenby).   He was in seven James Bond films from 1973 to 1985.   He starred in some of the best movies of the series ("The Spy Who Loved Me", "For Your Eyes Only") and also in the campiest one ("Moonraker").   But by in large he did an admirable job in the role.

He also starred in the TV The Saint, was knighted by Queen Elizabeth, honored by the French Government and given his own star on the Hollywood walk of fame. 

He passed in 2017 at the age of 89. 

But being a damn good 007 is the reason he's a badass!

 Hispanic Heroes Month


Fire

Beatriz de Costa was a Brazilian model and later executive in the Brazilian branch of Wayne Enterprises.  Due to some magic, she gained the ability to breath green flame, encase herself in green flame, shoot green flame bolts and fly.  She took the name Green Fury and fought crime in her home country.  After a time, she joined the  Global Guardians and changed her name to Green Flame.  And after even more time, she and fellow Global Guardian Norwegian Ice Maiden left to join the Justice League International.  They then changed their names to Fire and Ice.

Proved once again that the obscenely wealthy 1) have skin thinner than wet tissue paper, 2) are totally tone-deaf to public culture, 3) are used to getting their way no matter what and have no issue throwing their money around to get it, and 4) think everyone NOT in their tax bracket is beneath them.  

Michael and Susan Dell are none to happy about people making fun of her appearance in the Oval Office.  Mr Dell has even threatened to "just buy it and shut it down".


And the awesome satirist Druski mentioned doing a skit about her.


Who knows if Druski meant it when he mentioned it, but now that they've threatened him with legal action (because obviously since he has less money than THEY do, he has no First Amendment Rights) you can bet your last dollar that there WILL now be a skit done.  Just to spite them. 

See, if this could were just a smidge attuned to the current zeitgeist, if they had just shut up, let the cosplays and the inevitable spoofs occur, in two weeks, it all would have faded away and not been mentioned again. 

But now that they've made a HUGE deal about it, it's only gonna get worse.  I mean, I saw a Spirit Halloween store somewhere has supposed dressed up on one of their screeching animatronic things like her.  And assuredly, they'll sell out. 

But since the Dell's have no idea how America works, that it DOENS'T just cowtow to the insane demands of the uber-obscene-right, this going to stay around a lot longer than it otherwise would have.  And it'll continue to embarrass, anger, and fluster them. 

And as a couple who stood PROUDLY next to the orange shitgibbon before the cameras, I'm so glad it's happening to them.  Serves them right.

 Perez Appreciation Post

Back in the late 80s, The Maestro George Perez did a long panel for a comic book of the Legion Of Super-Heroes at that point.  This is a small portion of that showing an unusual grouping of that team's members.   You wouldn't normally see these working together as a group. 


Above: Sensor Girl
Middle: Matter-Eater Lad, Tyroc, Dream Girl, Brainiac 5
In front: Tellus

But again, check out the detail.  Even on just small portion of a larger work, the faces are all different, the billowing up Brainy's pants at his boots, the folds of Dreamy's hair, the abs and pecs of Tyroc, Tellus' back and Sensor Girl's hair moving with the cape as she flies. 

Typical awesome Perez work.

 Hispanic Heroes Month

Oops, missed this one yesterday. 


Feral

Maria Callasantos was born in NYC.   She was a mutant who at puberty developed feline features and gained fur, strength, speed, reflexes, claws and a perhinsile tail.   She was a member of X-Factor, and she was later killed somehow.  But surely, she'll be back as no one ever stays dead in comics. 

She was created in the very early 90s when comics were all about violent anti-heroes who killed indiscriminately to show how 'cool' they were and they were "the best there is at what they do".  Eye roll.   She was a pointless violent creature with little character development, but also at this time, comics cared less about characters, plot and story and cared more, and almost exclusively, about how 'cool' the art was.   Sad.

 Badass Birthday

On this date, in 1941 in Newark New Jersey, Paul Simon was born. 


Paul Simon has had both a solo career and as part of a duo: Simon & Garfinkel.   He has been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame twice (for solo career and as part of the duo).  He was nominated for an Oscar, he's been nominated for 3 Emmys winning one, and nominated for 28 Grammys winning 12. 

How about a list of his songs?  First as part of Simon & Garfinkel: 

The Sound Of  Silence
Homeward Bound
I Am A Rock
A Hazy Shade Of Winter
Scarborough Fair/Canticle
Mrs. Robinson
Bridge Over Trouble Water
Cecilia
Wake Up Little Susie

And as a solo artist: 
Loves Me Like A rock
50 Ways To Leave Your Lover
Still Crazy After All These Years
Slip Slidin' Away
Wonderful World
Late In The Evening
You Can Call Me Al

Certainly having all those songs in your repertoire as a bookcase full of awards, clearly makes one a badass!
