 Superhero Anydays

Today, again by NeverKnew Lane, we have an interesting piece.  On the left we have Marvel's World War II era members of the Liberty Legion: Miss America and Whizzer.  They would marry after the wat and have a child: Nuklo. 

On the right we have DC's World War II era members of the All-Star Squadron, Liberty Belle and Johnny Quick.  They would marry after the war and have a child: Jesse Quick.

The men have identical powers: Superspeed.  The women different ones: Miss America had flight, Liberty Belle had just great fighting prowess.  Their kids were different too: Nuklo was a mutant radioactive monster who fought the Avengers.  Jesse Quick had super-speed and joined the Justice Society.

And today we have a pretty damn awesome cosplay: Etrigan the Demon.  Man, did THIS take a lot of work to do!

 Badass Birthday 

On this day in 1929, in Minnesota, James Hong was born. 

His career started in 1955 when he was 26, after serving in the Korean War.  He's performed in movies and TV shows for decades, up to and including when he received a Screen Actor Guild award in 2022 (Everything Everywhere All At Once) at the age of 93.

Anyone having a career spanning almost 70 years surely qualifies as a badass!

It might just be me, but I feel Dr. Bunsen Honeydew should be a little bit more to the left on that scale. 

And honesty, both Dr. Phil and Dr. Oz should be at the very bottom of the square....if not below the scale altogether.

My birthday song, my happy world (Part 214)......

 Badass Birthday

On this date in 1967, in Washington state was born Kurt Cobain.

Oh man...this fella was born just a couple months before me, and damn if he wasn't the "Voice Of My Generation"... for me anyway.  First heard "Smells Like Teen Spirit" in the Fall of 1991, and my life was changed, music wise.  Not only Nirvana, but all the bands that they allowed to come into the mainstream: Grunge. 

Anyway, he was the lead singer and songwriter for that revolutionary band Nivana.  Sadly, Kurt had issues with his fame, and life in general I think, and in 1994, a victim of the 27 year curse (see Jimmy Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison and Amy Winehouse), he killed himself with a shotgun. 

One of the hardest famous deaths to ever hit me...surpassed only perhaps by David Bowie in 2016.
