You forgot Shanna the She-Devil! I fact, you should do a Shanna post - Those Frank Cho issues are SWEET!
Ah, the 70's -- when all of our female superheroes were just derivative knock-offs of the male heroes. NOW they just REPLACE them outright. Marvel calls this "progress." I call it lazy and unimaginative.
Well, the Cat was kinda original, although there are some parallels to Batman and DD. Then they turned her into Tigra. I really like the character so I was pretty happy when they decided to bring Patsy Walker (!) into the Marvel Universe and she ultimately donned the costume to become HellCat.
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.

Did Shanna have a number one issue like these because if she does I will add her. I didn't know if that was the case.
Yes, she did. She made it to issue no. 5, I think before being cancelled and the storyline ended up being finished in Daredevil.
