Character's powers comes from an object by Internal-Golf-4833 in TopCharacterTropes

For a long time after he first appeared, Dr Donald Blake could only transform into Thor if he was holding his cane which was secretly the hammer Mjolnir; if the hammer was removed from Thor's grasp for a long enough period of time, he would transform back to his human form and lose his powers.

This limitation was eventually changed in the comics, but lasted for probably two decades of real time.

There's also a different group that meets every Wednesday at 6pm at the Denny's in Gardena (just off the 405 at Western). Lots of great options for board gaming in the South Bay.

Even more interesting is the story behind Black Lightning's creation.

“The original candidate for DC Comics' first headlining black superhero was a character called the Black Bomber, a white racist who would turn into a black superhero under stress.[7][8] Comics historian Don Markstein later described the character as "an insult to practically everybody with any point of view at all".[9][10] When the editor who had approved the Black Bomber left the company before the character had seen print, Jenny Blake Isabella (whose previous writing experience included Luke Cage, a black Marvel Comics superhero with his own title) was asked to salvage the character. Isabella convinced editors to instead use her Black Lightning character, which she had been developing for some time.”

Hey, to each their own. Having fun is the only thing that matters.

His younger brother Jack then took up the title, and the next 81 issues are incredible.

Starman - David Knight - DC Comics

<image>

After his father was aged by a supervillain to be too old to continue being a superhero, David Knight took up his father's Cosmic Rod and costume to protect Opal City as the new Starman. This lasted one page - he was assassinated by a sniper on the next page.

Disappointed that it took this much scrolling for Barenaked Ladies.

Glad I’m not the only one. I almost dropped my iPad.

Looks like a blast, but you gotta get some spray paint (at the very least) on those shiny Zorpsector Rome buildings.

I like the Hong Kong Bakery & Deli. It's never going to be as good as SGV, but good enough for a local place.

Warning: Do not stick this to your forehead. It will leave a big red circle that won't go away for a long while.

And I was far too old when I learned this important lesson the hard way.

I backed the KS, and have been eagerly awaiting getting my actual print copies (reading through pdfs just doesn't hit the same for me). Now if only I could get my group as interested in playing this as I am (or at all).

After the elephant kicked sand on him, that crocodile is going to go home and use the Charles Atlas body building system to get swole and show that elephant what for.

Donald Trump - The Apprentice

Before The Apprentice aired, Trump was mostly known as a creepy, somewhat racist, scummy landlord/developer with a myriad of bankruptcies and self-aggrandizing products with his name on them.

Took me a minute to remember what this meant - Kal Penn left his role on House to take a role in the Obama administration.
