@arseniclullaby! You have a duplicate paragraph up there in your post, no. 1, the Ms. Marvel paragraph...
AND I don't follow comic books or anything like that, but did the Superman, Batman and Archie comics in the 60's, so a little familiar with some.
But you had me laughing pretty good about the "old days", but when you said you've been to jail twice and can rebuild an engine from the ground up, dood, you had me ROFL!
You're not a comic book "nerd"!!! Extremely interesting post, and there's another gentleman on steemit that knows this stuff also, who you might already know: @richardfyates! If not, you might check him out.
Thanks for the post!
