I assume you're talking about Batroc, but I don't know which specific comic. The earliest appearance of him I own is fighting Iron Fist in an issue of Marvel Premier.

And speaking of religous swearing...why do we give Jesus a middle initial sometimes?

I think it is the shear profanity of "humanizing" him by giving him something as everyday like as a middle initial.

Oh...

I apologize. As a Jew, I guess it would never occur to me that humanizing him in any way would be seen as profane. I always thought he was supposed to be fully human, as well as also fully divine to those who believe.

Ohh...I was wondering about this one in another thread:

Menolly wrote:First of all, I must have missed the announcement about you being unoffically engaged. Early mazel tov!! Yay!!!

As far as the surprise aspect goes. Is Chr-sty expecting you to get her an engagement ring, or would even receiving one be a surprise to her? The answer to that would affect my advice.
Makes sense now!

I keep forgetting that new Watch members continually join, and I have to explain my hyphenating on occasion. I take the reasoning explained here, and expand it to all names of G-d I recognize as such. I do it as a sign of respect for all religions, and not to offend anyone.

From what I understand, this is a very respectful thing to do for the gods of others that has it's basis in Judaism - or I'm just nuts.

Yeah, looks like you're right. Just check out Menolly's The Name of God link in her posts. It explains everything! Interesting stuff.

Yep. I've been around awhile; I just don't talk a lot, but I do like to watch! :twisted:

Hmm...good question. I have been guilty of typing out both in full. But while I know Asatru uses the Norse pantheon, I think no one uses the Saxon version of the names in worship. And are there still adherants of the Olympian pantheon? I'll have to think upon this and make a conscious decision on if it is disrespectful of me to write out names of g-ds that I am unsure are still being worshipped by someone...

Nah, not nuts. At least not on this point. ;)

you know, I honestly can't remember, but the closest I could come to matching my memory is The Blackhawks, and the character Andre.....it was definitely a "group" type of comic, but not sure if it was just a cameo series in another series, like Iron Man, or Capn America, or whatever, so long ago, heh..... :D
