My Greatest Adventure: The Doom Patrol Story

Image
An (unexpected) follow-up to my X-Men: By Chris Claremont post, today I (Ethan Stranger) will be discussing another team of Comic oddballs whom I find even more relatable within the Aspergers Community, for they are DC’s Doom Patrol (The World's Strangest Heroes). Doom Patrol debuted in within the pages of the anthology series known as “My Greatest Adventure #80” in June of 1963, created by writer Arnold Drake & the unknown Italian Artist Bruno Premiani  (3 months before the debut of Marvel’s X-Men), in fact, there have been many suspensions (even by DP creator Arnold Drake) that X-Men co-creator Stan Lee somehow manages to rip-off  X-Men from Doom Patrol, even if they’re similarities between both teams, they’re major differences, like X-Men was created to tackle the real-life themes like racism, prejudices, and hate crimes (read more on my X-Men: By Chris Claremont post) while the Doom Patrol was a team of oddballs who went on bizarre/wacky adventures (while being out...

I know you’re thinking, who is this lady? Well if you must know this happens to be one of my High School English teachers & let me tell you… she was awesome, so today I ( Ethan Stranger ) will be discussing what made my High School English Teacher (Better known as “ Desi LeRoy” ) the best of the best, let’s get started. To get things started, let me start off with that she wasn’t actually my English Teacher from the start of my Freshman Year, instead, I had Coach Q (whom I mentioned in my Let the Music Play & in My Bullies Club II Posts ) for High School English & as I mentioned before, he & I didn’t really hit things off to a good start, since he was football coach, it didn’t help that he would really put a lot of pressure on his English Students (I always thought he felt he was still teaching football during our lessons).  It wasn’t long until School counselors saw that I just wasn’t really doing so well with Coach Q, so (in the last remaining weeks of my Fresh...

Toph πŸ’š& Ty LeeπŸ’“: Sisters for Life

A Little Spin-off to my Legend of Korra: Power Bender post , I ( Ethan Stranger ) have decided to discuss a very friendship within the Avatar Universe (that was only seen in a Comic) that I myself find quite relatable within today’s society & to myself, that friendship is Toph & Ty Lee & I 1st read about it in the pages of 2015’s Dark Horse Avatar Comic: Sisters (here’s a little sneak peek) So allow me ( Ethan Stranger ) to do a separate breakdown on these 2 beautiful girls from the Avatar Universe, how the duo represent something special within today's society & wrapping it all up on how the duo together represents something very relatable in today's society (not even sure if Toph & Ty Lee ’s Voice actors ( Michaela Murphy/Jessie Flower & Olivia Hack ) were aware of this if not, that’s ok, but if they already know, allow me to put this all in my own words. Let’s start with Ty Lee (because I think she’s adorable, especially when she’s standing upside...
