My birthday song, my happy world (Part 372)...

 Badass Birthday

On this date, in 1952, Christopher Reeve was born. 


Despite a career that spanned over 30 years, Christopher is a badass for that which he is best known for: Superman.  We DID believe a man could fly.  He did a spectacular job in the first and second Superman movies of the last 70s (we do NOT discuss the third or fourth movies).  He truly was the embodiment of the Man of Steel, and we did not see his like in a movie (or TV Superman) until last years latest Superman movie. 

Sadly, he broke his neck in the fall from the house, was a quadriplegic and spent his remaining years in a wheelchair unable to movie anything below his neck.   He passed away in 2004 at the too young age of 52. 

But Christopher Reeve shall always be Superman.  And a badass.

 Perez Appreciation Post

This is the cover of Justice League Of America #194 from 1981, as drawn by the Maestro George Perez.  The story revolves around, I think, Amos Fortune being able to animate Tarot Cards and have them attack the JLA and the heroes then take over the personalities the cards embody: silliness from The Fool, violent anger from The Chariot, apathetic ennui from The Hermit, etc. 


Anyway, this shows the JLA: The Flash, Black Canary, Superman, Elongated Man, Green Lantern, and Zatanna kneeling down, surrounded by the Tarot Cards: The Hermit, The Hierophant, The Chariot, The Magician, The Fool.

Again, the detail is typically Perez.  Just fabulous work.

On this date in 1896 in St. Paul, Minnesota, F. Scott Fitzgerald was born. 


F. Scott Fitzgerald was the voice of the Roaring 20s.  He authored four novels, four story collections and 164 short stories.  But he's a badass because of one of his novels: The Great Gatsby!

Literary badass.

 Superhero Anydays

In Marvel Comics, when Thanos did "The Snap" half the people in the universe disappeared.  Afterwards, Captain America held a press conference where he announced, among other things, the heroes known to have disappeared.  And those heroes appeared behind him on a screen. 

This is that panel from that comic book.


Angel, Beast, Black Cat, Black Panther, Box, Dagger, Daredevil, Diamond Lil
Firestar, Guardian, Hawkeye, Hercules, Human Torch, Iceman, Invisible Woman, ???
Justice, Marvel Girl, Mr. Fantastic, Night Thrasher, Northstar, Power Man, Puck, Quicksilver
Sasquatch, Sersi, Shaman, The Thing, USAgent, Vindicator, Wasp, Windshear. 

Basically all of the Fantastic Four, all of Alpha Flight, all but one of X-Factor, several active and reserve Avengers.  And yet...no X-men.  Hmmm, it's kinda like Thanos' 'random' selection knew which super-heroes had the best sales per issue, eh?
