Miss Dawn’s Musings – Female Hero Revolution

Blog-MissDawnsMusings

Is there a female hero revolution in the works? Over the past few years, “strong female character” has become a desired label on tv shows, in movies and in books. It seems now that it’s finally becoming commonplace and rarely needs to be said. Yet there is still the need for the Bectal test (and, even better, the sexy lamp test, thanks to Kelly Sue DeConnick) and progress is slow. But I think it’s getting somewhere and partly that’s due to an increased female fan base (because women can be geeks too!) and a more open-minded media industry.

V-Yellow’s Comic Box – Thomas “Hush” Elliot

VernComicWho else is a fan of Dr. Thomas “Tommy” Elliot A.K.A. Hush? One of my favorite story arcs is the Batman: Hush by Jeph Loeb, Jim Lee and Scott Williams. The thing I loved about this villain was he just isn’t your normal psychopath that comes out of Arkham Asylum or running the streets of Gotham; this was a very close childhood friend of Bruce Wayne. He was even named after Bruce’s late father Thomas Wayne. Elliot even wanted to become a doctor just like Thomas Wayne. Before Bruce saw his parents’ demise on that dark terrible night in Crime Alley, Tommy had lost only one of his parents in a car accident. He would have lost both of them if it wasn’t for Bruce’s father saving his mother’s life. But ever since Bruce’s father saved Tommy’s mother he had a vendetta against the Waynes. The reason why he hates Bruce so bad is because he had planned for his parents to die in that fatal car accident. He cut the brakes to the car; as a young boy he had already had evil thoughts and wanted to murder people. He wanted to inherit their wealth so he could be an orphan and live his life the way he intended for it to be. Since then Tommy has been planning on a way to get back at his old friend.
