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?

Jesus H. Christ!!

For 'Holy?'

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.

The Name of G-d

Watch out, Menolly, Tulizar's been here longer than you.

How far do you go Menolly?

I mean would you type Z-es? or Th-r?

Or how about the Aztec sun God? HUITZIL-POCHTLI

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!

Ooops!! Sorry Tulizar!

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.

Menolly, your devotion is a thing of beauty!

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.....

Batroc looks like this...


he mainly battles Captain America. he has his own brigade. two guys named Zaran(?) and Machete I think.

Good posts!
