Superheroes You've Never Heard of: Part 1

Lightning Lad
Real name: Garth Ranzz
Backstory: Garth and his siblings crashed on an unknown planet and were attacked by a group of roaming electrical beasts. After the attack the three were equipped with amazing electrical powers.
 - Lightning Lad is one of DCs' many obscure heroes. Suggested by his name, he has some electrical abilities including electrical generation and manipulation.
Fun Fact: His girlfriends name is Saturn Girl.

Red Tornado
Real name: Unknown
Backstory: An evil cyborg built to infiltrate the Justice League Headquarters. The cyborg was given false memories and mixed with a violent wind (cause that makes total sense).
 - Another DC character. Kind of an anti-hero. Interesting outfit
Fun Fact: Weighs 325 lbs. Thats a lot of wind.

Animal Man
Real name: Bernhard Baker
Backstory: As a young man Bernhard went hunting one afternoon and returned with a changed outlook on nature. He had encountered some helpless animals that had escaped from a zoo and realized he could use their powers when he was close to them. He was now the Man with Animal Powers (lame).
 - This guy should get a show on Discovery channel. Than again maybe he already has one. Is that you Steve Irwin?
Fun Fact: Was part of a group known as the Forgotten Heros. Hard to be forgotten when no ones heard of you.

Curse
Real Name: Philip Krahn
Backstory: Hard to interpret. Basically he's crazy and is trying to gain access to heaven so he can lead them into Hell and destroy the demon armies. Wow, and I thought Inception was confusing.
 - I'm not going to pretend I understand what's going on in this but the dude is interesting.
Fun Fact: As a child he removed his own left eye and scarred his face with a rusty piece of fence and as a man removed his own right arm. Why? To show his loyalty to God. There are better ways people.

Savage Dragon
Real Name: Kurr (that's a name?)
Backstory: The dragon was discovered in a burned up field outside of chicago by a police agent and was asked to join the cops in an attempt to defeat the group of criminals, the Vicious Circle, that was terrorizing the town. After refusing, the police, Darling, takes drastic measures and bribes some criminals to attack Dragon's cousin. They end up killing their target and Dragon joins the police.
 - Weird. It's like one of those afternoon soap operas. Also a very unknown superhero. Not even a fan club has started for this guy yet.
Fun Fact: Some of his powers include Regeneration, Fire resistance, and super jump.

Tuesday

A fine day of the week, tuesday. The day prior to Wednesday and previous to Monday. The day when you really think, "When is it going to be Friday?" Mondays are fine, but Tuesdays really give you that sense of how far away the end of the week is going to be.

Tuesday is the second day of creation, in biblical times, and the day where God separated the waters from land to make the ocean. Tuesday is affiliated with a restaurant and red priceless gemstones (Ruby Tuesdays), and a furniture store that opens early (Tuesday Morning). Tuesday gained it's origin from the Norse god of War, known as Teiwaz.

Black Tuesday, which was October 29th, 1929 when the stock market crashed.  Super Tuesday is the day when the presidential elections take place. A lot of DVDs, video games, and CDs release on Tuesdays, and a lot of television shows find their time slots on a tuesday evening. We all know it's one of the worst days of the week, but we try to spruce it up so it's not as bad as it has to be.

Sincerely,

Procrastination

Procrastinating. It's human natures greatest flaw. It's the only excuse for why I don't have an icon up yet on my profile, and yet it is one of the few things we all have in common. The world is one big procrastinator. That's why we haven't developed a cure for cancer, why we haven't found an alternative to fossil fuels, and why I haven't yet showered. Procrastination.

It's common sense really. If I can do it later, why on earth would I do it now? That's my philosophy. Some people do things ahead of time, and those people are called overachievers. Sure, they plan, and break it up, and get it all done ahead of schedule, but I can do it all in one crazed night of caffeine. I like to achieve just the right amount, thank you.

When push comes to shove, procrastinators shove hard. We don't just expect these things to happen, we tighten are belts, roll up our sleeves, and give everything we got to get this stuff done. There is a great difference between procrastinating and being lazy. Their may be a grey area in between but people who are lazy will not get it done. People who procrastinate will, and it will be above and beyond the standards. So procrastinators let us unite! - tomorrow

Sincerely,
- Captain Obvious
