Today brings us one more letter in April's A-Z Challenge! My theme is "Golden Age Comic Book Characters with the Same Name As Modern-Day Characters."
Neon debuted in Hit Comics #1, 1940, from Quality Comics. If I may quote from The Golden Age Heroes Directory -- an invaluable source for SO many of these listings -- Neon "has 'neonic' powers, which boil down to glowing, being able to fly, and
shooting bolts of energy from his hands."
Today's Neon is Celeste McCauley, a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes. She first appeared in DC's Legion of Super-Heroes Vol. 4, #6, 1990. Her body is composed of a Green Lantern's emerald energy, and can fly and fire force blasts like a Green Lantern..
Thanks for your time.
Made of Green Lantern's... whut now? How?... :D

It's a lonnng story. I'd recommend a read of the Wikipedia article if you're really interested.
DeleteWhat did she do, swallow a ring and that was her crackerjack prize?
ReplyDeleteI like your guess better than the truth.
DeleteStupid library computer still isn't letting me comment on your blog, Pat!
DeleteWeird the stupid library would do that. Miss a day at your blog mat?
DeleteLibrary was closed on Monday due to a Massachusetts holiday!
DeleteMore comic characters that are new to me! (Who knew there were so many?)

There are thousands!
DeleteCool. To be composed of a Green Lantern's energy would be awesome. How does she re-charge?
ReplyDeleteShe doesn't need to. She's a new life form, actually composed of the emerald energy.
DeleteHow cool to see a female superhero, and one who looks like she could fly without a cape at that!
ReplyDeleteSorry there aren't many superheroines in my A to Z, but the "Golden Age Comic Book Characters with the Same Name As Modern-Day Characters" theme limits me somewhat.
DeleteDidn't know about her. Thanks for sharing. https://mhsusannematthews.wordpress.com/

DeleteI want neonic powers! How fun!

They do sound fun, don't they?
DeleteGreat choice for the A-Z, had a browse through a few others as well as this one :)

Glad you did so. Thanks for visiting!
DeleteShe's new to me. I like that she looks more "normal" as it not too busty with a wasp waist and long flowing hair!
ReplyDeleteTrue. The figures of most modern female comic characters usually seem meant to appeal to adolescent male readers.
DeleteI would totally love to have 'neonic glowing' as my super power!
