With Roy Harper now ready to audition for the role of the killer in The Fugitive,we've been seeking the advice of others with similar afflictions. Yesterday we saw Oliver Queen man up when he lost both arms but STILL beat enemies by shooting arrows.
Well, 1965 was a big year for loss of arms in the DC Universe:
That's right, Lightning Lad (Garth Ranzz) lost his arm to "The Super-Moby Dick Of Space." (Ha, we're gonna trick those kids into reading literature!!)
The beastie "infected" Garth's right arm with poison:
Should have gotten your vaccinations, Garth...
Now, did Garth need a four-issue mini-series detailing his "dangerous journey into despair?"
Nope. He got himself a new arm, and went out and captured the beastie that did this to him.
They made real men back in the Silver Age, dammit.
Oh, and Garth has one other piece of advice to help your recovery, Roy:
Get yourself a hot blond to take your mind off your troubles...

REAL MEN get a robot arm whenever possible.
ReplyDeleteMan, I need a robot arm. I mean, sure, two regular arms are fine...
But they aren't robot arms.
REAL WOMEN do too - case in point: Misty Knight (had to mention her even if that means pre-empting a future post by snell).
ReplyDeleteHahaha--snell can never be pre-empted!!! (besides, I'm focusing on DC Universe character in this unplanned little series)
ReplyDeleteToo bad. It would have been fun to see you recommend Dr. Curt Connors' cure for Roy Harper!
