Check this out, real quick, don't know if everybody know (Part 5588)...

Check This Out!

Yeah, this bothers me too. And not strangers, but people I've known, worked with for years, been related to all my life, just laughing at how other human beings are hurting, and wishing more on people like them. Saddens me to no end.

If I were a hero, I'd be Martin Luther (Part 4666)....

Superhero Anydays

This is a panel from Adventure Comics #340 from back in 1966 and drawn by Curt Swan. In short, Brainiac 5 created Computo, and large computer monster. He went rogue and attack the Legion, ending up killing one of Triplicate Girl's three bodies.

Counter clockwise from the right is Chameleon Boy (with Proty on his shoulder), Mon-El, Colossal Boy, Brainiac 5, Matter-Eater Lad, Superboy, Shrinking Violet, Light Lass, a mis-colored Phantom Girl and Ultra Boy.

The next to last person is colored like Triplicate Girl, but it's unlikely she'd just be standing there having had one third of herself just killed very recently, so I really can't be her. We assume it's Phantom Girl because Ultra Boy is standing very close to her and leaning in to her, and Phantom Girl and Ultra Boy were a couple at this time.

And today we have a pretty awesome and unique chest tattoo of Spider-Man through ripped chest flesh.

At some point, I made a donation to The Sesame Workshop (well I've made several donations there, but I'm sure this is the most recent time, after the asshole Republicans cut all funding for PBS), and a few weeks later, I received in the mail, this little thermos/mug thingee.

Such a cute lil thing. A nice lil thank you.

Badass Birthday

On this date, in 1942, in the Netherlands, Dr. Jan Pol was born.

Dr. Jan Pol is a vet in Michigan, having run his own vet services since 1981. Over 24 seasons across 14 years, he starred in the Nat Geo show "The Incredible Dr. Pol". He, his wife and office manager Diane, bumbling son Charles and various other vets, served the animals of his area, from household pets to farm animals to exotic animals. They've treated cats, dogs, birds, guinea pigs, hamsters, cows, horses, goats, chicken, ducks, llamas, alpacas, snakes, fish, iguanas, hedgehogs, and I'm sure other animals I can't recall.

I've binged Dr. Pol seasons on Disney+ (no ads yet, thank GOD!), at least twice all the way through. And even now, if I'm looking for background noise while I pay bills, or post to the Palace, or just putz around online, it's not unusual to pick and episode at random and just watch it. It's like TV comfort food for me.

But that's not why he's a badass. He's a badass for still helping animals and their owners at the age of 84, with no signs of retirement anytime soon!

Night arrives with her purple Legion (Part 22)....

Legion Lore

Ferro Lad

Ferro Lad was Andrew Nolan, one half of a set of twins born on Earth. Both twins were born with the ability to turn their bodies in iron. But sadly both of them were also born with horribly disfigured faces. So disfigured that even 30th Century medical technology couldn't fix it. So the boys, from when they were young, wore metals mask, hoods and helmets covering their faces.

As a teenager, Andrew tried out for the Legion and was admitted with three other members all at once, the largest group joining at one time, up until that point. That was an ill fated group (including the spy and rogue member Nemesis Kid who was soon thereafter kicked out for trying to overthrow the Legion).

Shortly after joining, the Sun Eater was on it's was through space heading right towards Earth's sun. There were only 5 Legionnaires available on Earth at that time and, despite bringing the galaxy's five worst but most powerful villains together (who later formed the Fatal Five), none of them could stop the Sun Eater's progress.

A bomb had been made which would probably cause the Sun Eater to blow to pieces, but it would likely kill the person who delivered it to the Sun Eater's core as well. Superboy volunteered to be the one to take it, but it was pointed out that since the Sun Eater had consumed red suns already, that would probably affect Superboy, render him powerless and prevent him from making it to the middle.

Ferro Lad grabbed the bomb and took off. He turned himself into iron and headed into the Sun Eater before anyone could stop him. And he did. And when it blew up, it did in fact kill him. The first Legionnaire to be killed in action (who remained dead...Lightning Lad had been brought back).

He was the first of those four members to be killed, but he wouldn't be the last.

Badass Birthday

On this date, in 1986, in San Diego, California, Shaun White was born.

Shaun White is a former professional skateboarder and snowboarder. He is a 5 time Olympian and 3 time Gold Medalist in half-pipe snowboarding. He holds the world record for the most X Games gold medals and the most Olympic gold medals by a snowboarder. He's also won 10 ESPY awards during his career.

In addition to all this, he started his own snowboarding league, "The Snow League" in 2025. AND also, he plays guitar in the band Bad Things.

With ALL this, certainly he qualifies for badass status.

You think you're cool? Well you'll never be as cool as these three characters from the West Wing episode "No Exit" where the White House is locked down over potential airborne attack and these guys have to shower and have their clothes disposed of and this is the sweatsuits they have to wear.

You wish you could post this cool with your posse.
