A MIGHTY WIND

Not being a comic book collector, most of my observations about Marvel super heroes came from one of the greatest how-to books published. That, quite obviously, was How To Draw Comics - The Marvel Way! What I gleaned from those illuminating pages was that super heroism had it's own fashion trends.

• They liked to wear pirate boots [would Errol Flynn have anything to do with this?].
• Tight pants were the norm.
• Despite the tightness of their pants negating any need for support or suspension, they insisted on wearing belts. Big belts.
• metal arm or wrist bands made you cooler.

And so it is for me to introduce to you, The Mighty Strong, AKA Strong Bro! He has the ability to bend stuff, even breaking things at times! But for good, not evil. He can't fly, but that's okay, because his alter ego, LenRay Featherbottom, has collected a vast sum of air miles from his occupation as an entertainment lawyer.
