A Moment Of Marvel Aplomb

[bloodyrosemccoy]

Sometimes, Marvel can be pretty awesome.

Like when it creates a deaf superhero because a small boy is troubled that no superheroes wear hearing aids.

Also note, this is their second hearing aid-wearing superhero--they also sent him images of Hawkeye, who lost 80% of his hearing. I don't know anything about either of these heroes, but I am really hoping at least one also uses sign language and is capital-D Deaf, because that would be awesome.

FWIW, "Lad" and "Lass" have generally been associated with characters in DC's Legion Of Super-Heroes. I guess in the 31st century nobody thinks they sound goofy anymore.

My favorite is Matter Eater Lad.

Yeah, I was specifically thinking of him. ;)

Guided By Voices did a song about him!
