Putting an "a" before Dolphin really changes the meaning.

I thought that Dolphin had been involved with Tempest. A quick google search shows that the poor girl should have been left well alone. She's one of a disturbing number of female characters that seems, to an outsider, to be passed around a number of male characters considered to be more important. Her personality shifts disturbingly, any mystery is taken away and she meets a poor fate after some poor subplots. The next time the Forgotten Heroes call, she should swim off into the depths and out of range of the Sea Devils.

Alas, that's true. She's one of the female characters who seems to be used just to develop male characters...

I've always imagined him as bisexual. Of course, that's kind of how I imagine all my faves. And why all my favorite ships are threesomes. I don't like to see anyone left out. Of course, IRL this wouldn't necessarily be manageable or plausible. Then again, the same applies to superpowers.

The Escapist was a character created by fictional comic book writers who were very much trapped in their own lives, even as they looked for a way out.

That's why the Escapist has "can-do-anything-as-the-situation-demands" powers.

Jason Lutes' Jar Of Fools comics have a magician character named Ernie Weiss, in homage to Harry Houdini before he took on his stage name.

There is an old Warner Brothers cartoon where Porky Pig & Daffy Duck share a hotel room (and one bed). Porky says " Bonsoir" and turns off the light. Daffy turns the light on and asks "What does bon sewer mean?" Porky replies: It is French for buenas noches." and turns the light back off. Daffy turns the light back on and asks "What does buenas nachoes mean?" Porky replies "It's Spanish for bonsoir." and turns off the light. Daffy turns the light back on and is about to ask Porky, but thinks better of it.

It takes a while. I always mix up French and Spanish. And I can't even begin with Japanese.
