A bullet-proof, flying fresh corpse with heat vision, dressed in a burial tuxedo. When not fighting crime, he lays limp on the floor. He does not talk, move voluntarily, dance, or use facial expressions. He just stops injustice.
Not a very dynamic hero, admitted, but would be a nice secondary character.-- notmarkflynn, Jul 12 2006 imaginality: No he's not, he's pining for the fjords. http://www.mtholyok...hon/dead-parrot.htm [Ling, Jul 13 2006] Deadman comic. http://www.toonopedia.com/deadman.htm [Galbinus_Caeli, Jul 13 2006] Different name, in 1941 http://www.toonopedia.com/mr_just.htm [Galbinus_Caeli, Jul 13 2006] HotBlack Desiato http://www.hotblack...co.uk/page/homepage [zen_tom, Jul 14 2006] Weekend at Bernie's III?-- DrCurry, Jul 12 2006 Is he undead, or is he dead?
