I understand that's meant as a compliment, but it doesn't bode well for us, does it? A community is more than one person. |

Granted, of course. Goes without saying I thought.

Oh, and considering the amount of body hair I'm sporting, Beast is a better match than you'd have guessed.  I'm half-Sicilian... I bet I can beat you.  I know there are guys hairier than me... just not that many. Hairy toes, anyone? |

Looking at your Facebook pics, it's fairly close. But I'm fairly certain I have hairier arms  Attachments:

Okay Jens, in deference to the cute kitty I shall refrain from posting pics of my hairy shoulders. |

You guys are welcome to post all the pictures of your body hair that your cameras can take. But in a separate thread, please. Unless you want to claim that your body hair is your superpower...

OK...so, we've reached that point where we've gone through all the major league popular teams to compare ourselves to. So from here on out, pick a team, any team, and put it up.
I'll go semi-obscure with this one....
The Jim Valentino Era GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY (and let's face it, nothing that happened after Valentino left the series should be considered canon):
Jens = Starhawk - Him who Knows, but is sometimes really sad about it.
Mario = Martinex - the Smart Guy who is faced with doubt.
Jard = Yondu - The old-fashioned warrior who stands out from his peers.
Paul = Vance Astro. Faced with obstacles and potential tragedy, he none the less possesses the valor and the heart to wield the shield.
Jesse = Phoenix. Powerful, but just as potentially destructive.
Anders = Talon. The funny guy with the unusual perspective.
Kirk = Firelord - Experienced, but still occassonally lapses into bad habits and indulges his temper.
So pick a team and run with it people!

Do you want to know what's funny? Now, I don't know Valentino's Guardians of the Galaxy. I only know the characters from various guest appearances in Avengers.
But.
I actually do occasionally use Starhawk's catchphrase, "Take the word of one who knows," when I don't feel like bothering to explain something. I've used it since, oh, sometime in the early 1980s.

Valentino didn't create them - but in my mind he wrote the definitive version.

So, I guess the GotG were too obscure, or nobody cared or liked what they saw. So be it.
THE (KBOX) DEFENDERS
Kirk = Hulk. Mostly well-intentioned, but don't get him angry...
Jesse = Namor. Arrogant, even in the face of powers equal to or greater than he.
Jens = Dr. Strange - he who is rational, even if that rationality is strained by having to put up with all the crap.
Mario = Nighthawk. This one just fits for me.
Jard = Hellstrom. The guy who on paper, probably shouldn't even be around, but is anyways.
Anders = Beast. Yep. Again.
Paul = Silver Surfer

Paul = Silver Surfer For me, obscure. As I hinted at, the only character I actually knew is Starhawk. Defenders, I can get into. My Defenders, BTW, were the Peter Gillis-written books. The time when it was almost "X-Men Redux" (because it had more of the founding X-Men on board that the X-Men.) Let's see... Michael = Nighthawk. When everyone else has walked out on the team, he's still there, doing what he can to hold everything together. The only real idealist on the team. Kirk = Moondragon. If you need to ask... Jesse = Namor. Yeah, it works. Mario = Angel. Jard = Valkyrie. The warrior. Anders = Beast. Always. Paul = Gargoyle. Old and crotchety, has been around the block and kicked in the face a few times, but never lost his spirit. Joe: Silver Surfer: he keeps vanishing into the cosmos, looking for Galactus's lunch. |
