Here's today's entry in the A-Z Challenge. My theme is "Golden Age Comic Book Characters with the Same Name As Modern-Day Characters."
The first appearance of The Lynx was in Mystery Men #14, from Fox Features, in 1940. He had no superpowers, and his secret identity was "Jim." Just Jim! Dorky costume, too!
A new Lynx appeared in DC's Robin #179 in 2008. She's a martial artist and weapons expert. That's about all I know, cuz she's so recent... and it may surprise you all to learn that I don't read modern comics. I quit following the new ones over ten years ago!
Thanks for your time.
Even in real life, I find there are people who dress the part but have no superpowers.
ReplyDeleteVery intuitive, Cynthia.
DeleteThe second incarnation of Lynx looks more interesting and feisty than 'Jim'. :)

Yep. As I said, Jim looks kinda dorky.
DeleteShe looks way more threatening than Jim
ReplyDeleteAnybody would, I think.
DeleteI love your A to Z theme - your choice of art as well as interesting and short articles made it easy to read through.
ReplyDeleteIm blogging from Fill the cracks and Moondustwriter's Blog. Happy A to Zing!
I'm well known for long posts. I purposely took mercy o n the A to Z people and kept these relatively short.
DeleteThanks for checking out my blog. I'll return the favor shortly.
Oh yes....love the 2nd one much better than the dude in that...outfit.
ReplyDeleteI think Jim the Lynx hit a very negative chord with my readers. Love that.
DeleteYou'd think they could give Jim some type of super power if they went to all the trouble to give him such a stylish costume.

I like the chain-mail effect on his shorts...
