Women in the Lead
Women in the driver’s seat Bathed in the spotlight For more than romance Or to be a victim And nothing more than that * They fight like a hero Make mistakes like humans And get up when they fall Because … Continue reading
The Experimental Hero: Brought to You By Science
I’ve touched on a lot of different heroes over the years, so I’m surprised I never thought about this one before. I mean, they’ve slipped into a few categories at times, but I never really locked onto the ‘experiment’ origin. … Continue reading

7 Ways to Hurt a Hero: Don’t Read If You’re a Hero. Thanks.

Questions 3: The Common Man Among Superhumans

The MacGuffin: Apparently It’s Not a Breakfast Pastry
