November 28th - Congo Bill / Congorilla

William "Congo Bill" Glenmorgan had been a soldier, spy, investigator and all around glob-trotting adventurer before settling down in an unspecified country in Africa where he became a gamekeeper, protecting the wildlife from poachers. Bill’s dedication to the animals earned him the respect of the local village who playfully nicknamed him ‘Congo Bill.’ He became especially close with the village’s elder, Kawolo, who was a well-versed practitioner of an ancient magic.

When Kawolo was mortally injured in a fall, he summoned Bill to his bedside and offered him a magic ring. Kawolo told the skeptical Congo Bill that, by rubbing the ring, he could transfer his consciousness into the body of the legendary ‘Golden Gorilla.’ He accepted the ring to humor his friend's dying wish.

Several weeks later, an earthquake trapped Bill in a deep cave. With no possible escape, Congo Bill hopelessly rubbed the magic ring. Instantly, his mind was transported into the body of the Golden Gorilla. Racing to the cave-in, he used his massive strength to clear the blocked entrance and free his body.

Congo Bill then decided to use this new ability to fight crime and protect the incident and the legend of the Congorilla was born. He had numerous adventures across the continent and was also a member of the so-called ‘Forgotten Heroes.’

Years later, Bill’s consciousness became permanently stuck in the body of the Congorilla when his human body died. He took to become the leader of a troop of endangered gorillas in South Africa as well as an ally to the superhero Freedom Beast. When the gorillas and Freedom Beast are slaughtered by hunters, Congorilla decides to seek justice. The trail ultimately led to the villain known as Prometheus and Congorilla teamed up with Starman (Mikaal Tomas) who was also seeking retribution against Prometheus. The two entered into a splinter faction of the Justice League in taking on Prometheus. Following the villain’s death, Congorilla became a full-time member of the Justice League.

Following his stint with The Justice League, Congorilla decided to return to Africa and help organize the superheroes of the continent into a more efficient team, as well as to find a worthy successor to carry on Freedom Beast's legacy.

Actor Don McGuire portrayed Bill in a 1957 movie serial ‘Congo Bill.’ The hero first appeared in the pages of More Fun Comics #56 (1940).

My Name is Emiko Queen - Arrow Music Notes 7x10

Oliver discovers that the new Green Arrow is his half-sister Emiko as she pursues justice/revenge for her mother’s death. Since the mystery of who is under the hood is revealed, this episode establishes themes and instruments for Emiko both giving her own voice but closely tying it to Oliver as well.

Emiko Queen

While Emiko’s face was first revealed as the person under the Green Hood in 7x08, her theme was fully introduced in this episode now that the audience knows that she is related to Oliver Queen. Her theme is made up of two repeated notes that are punctuated by rests in-between. The rhythm is an important aspect and helps distinguish it from Oliver’s Arrow theme which is slightly syncopated (often groups of 3,3,2) while hers is firmly in 2 or 4. One of the reasons this is important is because they share most of the same instruments: strings, brass, electronics, hammered dulcimer, electric guitar and even the drum kit which played during both of their voiceovers (reminiscent of Season 1 - “Setting Up the Lair”). This helps establish the Green Arrow sound but also connects them as family, especially with the hammered dulcimer and electric guitar. The hammered dulcimer was introduced with Emiko as she fought William Glenmorgan who she believed killed her mother. Just as Oliver’s crusade was righting the wrongs for his father, Emiko’s was to bring justice for her mother.

A variation and introduction of her theme began in 7x08 as she ran away from Oliver, using the basic underline of notes and using rests in the brass as well as using drums (the tom-toms and tabla) that will be featured throughout the episode. These drum patterns are an aspect that separate her from Oliver. While it is a similar sound to many Nanda Parbat fighting scenes, there is a little finger action that sets it apart near the end of the episode. The tabla (an Indian hand drum) was used as she sought justice looking up information on the computer, attacking the house, and then as she fought alone, angry at the end that she had failed. This unique color could be used to give a little non-Western sound to set her apart from Oliver or a hint to her training. Or Blake Neely thought it sounded cool.

After Emiko is shot, she reveals her face and asks for help from Rene. When she wakes up in his house and Rene offers to help her crusade, she responds that she doesn’t need help, despite that she turned to him after being shot. As they talk, a slow melody plays in an higher electronic instrument. The music is first introduced with the celeste (a bell-like keyboard) over an electric guitar sound used in sadder moments between Oliver and Felicity “Someone You Love” (3x12). This melody returns later when she asks why Rene wants to help her and her cause. He responded that he had found purpose through Oliver Queen’s team to channel his grief and anger into justice for the city and that he missed being a part of that as Wild Dog. He wants to help make his city, especially the Glades, a safer place and he knows it is better to work as a team than solo. This could be a melody just for this episode or for their talks as a team. However, using the same instruments (and the same first three notes as “Someone You Love”) to lead into their theme (which is quite different) seems to imply that this is a team-up in many ways emulating Olicity. The brooding GA who wants to work alone and the person she turned to after being shot determined to keep helping so that she is not alone, helping to make the city a better place seems quite familiar. The music seems to show that there is a partnership and trust that will grow between these two people.

Olicity and the discovery of more family secrets

Oliver gets a blood sample of the new Green Arrow and asks Felicity to analyze it help expedite the SPCD process. As she looks at the DNA, electronic music matching many of her hacking/Overwatch moments accompanies the score.

As Oliver processes the news that he has a sister from his father’s side, piano (Oliver’s instrument) plays his hero theme as he realizes there is yet another secret his family kept. This variation was used in 4x01 “The Ring and the Grave” as Oliver wrestled with the grief and loss of a close friend. In both cases, he is wrestling with emotions and information that affects him greatly but was not of his own making. Harp (Felicity’s instrument) plays as Felicity offers to help find answers. As she finds information about a hidden storage unit, electric bass and string patterns begin and then guitar harmonics (another instrument for Oliver) follow as they realize that it was hidden by his mother.

Oliver and Felicity find a letter written by Robert to Walter Steele about Emiko, asking Walter to take care of her, recognizing that had he failed her and her mother. Oliver begins to read as hammered dulcimer and piano accompany him and then it switches to strings as Robert’s voice takes over following Emiko entering her lair, showing Rene her mother’s picture and murder board.

Oliver is quite upset to find his father had another family and abandoned that family. As he processes this with Felicity, being quite hurt, the cellos begin a variation of “I forgot who I was” (1x05). This theme accompanied many moments of Queen secrets including Thea’s parentage, the discovery of William and later sending him away. This variation has pauses between each three notes as Oliver talks about how hard he has tried to clear the family’s name after so many terrible things. This is variation that played is used only in a handful of moments including “Never Without Me” (2x20) when Moira comforted Oliver in the Flashbacks about the loss of William as a baby, promising to be always with him and then the end theme in the piano played as Moira died, completely devastating her children in her loss. The piano theme is also at the end of “Need to Know” (1x23) when Oliver confronts Moira about the Undertaking, telling her how Robert died for him. It is a theme that connects the death of his parents, the loss and the weight of guilt that their deaths placed on him. While he has moved past a lot of the guilt, reopening wounds and secrets bring much of the emotion back in his compassion for his sister, especially now that he is a father himself. Moira and Robert left behind a legacy of lies and abandonment, hiding Oliver’s son and the existence of Emiko, to preserve the Queen family, leaving those two abandoned by their fathers.

Later on, Oliver looks at over the balcony uncertain if he should reach out to his sister as their electronic background music is joined by strings. Felicity urges him to right his Father’s wrongs by reaching out and reminding him that he is a better man than his father.

At the end, Oliver greets Emiko at their father’s grave as his hero theme plays. Then his Arrow string pattern begins followed by his Arrow glissando which in turn is answered by Emiko’s theme in the brass. The two Green Arrows, the two Queens, are finally meeting.

John Diggle and the Ghost Initiative

Oh John Diggle. In trying to pursue Dante as well as cover their searching for him from the Deputy Director, he tells Director Bell that they are recruiting Diaz for a new version of the Suicide Squad. Lyla is less than thrilled with this initiative as she had scrubbed the program never to be used again. As she walks away saying “Nice job...Agent” the first two notes of Diggle’s theme is played but not the third. The hero is in there but has also changed his tune a lot since his interaction with the suicide square in Seasons 2 and 3. In a similar vein, this happens again when Lyla confronts him about this decision saying: “I thought I was the one in danger of becoming Amanda Waller.”

As they put the bomb in Diaz’s head, the theme of the Suicide Squad begins “Forming a Squad” (2x12) followed by low strings, similar to Diaz’s music but not quite as he promises to come after her.

Extra Notes:

- There was a very nice melody as Dinah talks to Rene about the Mark of Four in the future. We shall see if that returns or was just for this episode. It turned hopeful as she spoke of what it stood for, supporting each other but then took a minor turn as Rene refused to help.

- Wow, there was a shortage of gifs for this episode especially anything non-Olicity!

- I was hoping to get this done before the latest episode but I ran into technical difficulty connected to winter storms. Ah well!

Arrow - ‘My Name is Emiko Queen' Review

“I’m not Oliver Queen.”

While that quote is true in the strictest sense, Emiko Queen is doing a damn good imitation.

From the cold open it was obvious The Powers That Be were going for an OG Arrow esthetic. From the voiceover, and (camera) shot selection to the little book of names, and a wounded Emiko going to Rene for help as Oliver went to Felicity. The similarities didn’t end there. She has just as many trust issues as Oliver and a stubbornness that up till now I had associated more with Moira’s side of the family.

There is one profound difference between Emiko and her half-brother. Where Oliver sought to bring justice to the people his father had wronged, Emiko wants justice on behalf of the wrongs done to her. This is neither surprising nor unexpected. Oliver grew up with every advantage. His time in “hell” taught him humility and gave him an appreciation for those without silver spoons. Emiko grew up with little except the unconditional love of her mother. Her loss would drive anyone to desire vengeance.

That is what we are talking about here. For all Emiko’s talk of justice, her war on crime in The Glades is not born out of benevolence. She has systematically eliminated everyone who had a hand in her mother’s death as she searches for the person who pulled the trigger. She can wrap it up in as much talk of the downtrodden as she likes. Revenge is not justice. I'm not judging. I'm just stating facts.

That knowledge aside we are left with a host of unanswered questions. Chief among them why would a woman abandoned and forgotten by her wealthy father imitate her half-brother? Unlike Oliver, she’d always known about the existence of her half-sibling and the “other” Queen family. And considering Oliver’s checkered past, he seems an odd choice for emulation. And how? I can see her learning to defend herself out of the necessity of growing up in a rough neighborhood. But I can’t imagine archery being her weapon of choice.

Oliver must come to grips with the fact that the latest person to don the Hood does so out of more than just admiration. Even after all the suspect deeds committed by Mama and Papa Queen, this is a new low. To know his father severed all ties to his own daughter makes Oliver question all of his father’s motives. Especially when he did so while knowingly raising another man’s daughter as his own. Although I doubt that realization has hit Oliver yet. Moira’s behavior is just as bad. It’s not surprising she resented Robert’s other family. But the idea she would go out of her way to ensure that Robert’s child was not only discarded like an old toy but deliberately kept poor is unbelievably spiteful. So why is most of Oliver’s anger directed at his father even after Felicity and by extension the writers repeatedly lay the blame for Emiko’s abandonment at both Robert and Moira’s feet?

Speaking of marriage issues, what is up with Diggle? After years of questioning Lyla’s morality, in large part due to her involvement with the “Ghost Initiative” AKA The Suicide Squad, he unilaterally decides to bring it back? And to force Lyla to defend a policy he knows she disagrees with is unlike him. Is his hatred of Diaz that intense or is his moral fiber fraying? Does Dig really believe Diaz will flush out Dante. And is that be before or after Oliver and Felicity find out that Diaz is alive and “free.”

While Diggle’s motives may not be clear, we clarified a few unresolved issues. Deputy Director Bell is indeed subordinate to Lyla. However, her superiors at The Pentagon have appointed him as their watchdog which not only explains his apparent autonomy but also the deference that both husband and wife have been giving him. It also explained Ben Turner’s appearance in Slabside. He saves Lyla’s life at the risk of getting his head blown off and she repays him by scrubbing The Suicide Squad and sending him to a Supermax prison. No wonder Ben was pissed.

That brings us to Rene, both present and future. In the present, Emiko’s pursuit of her mother’s killers dovetails with his desire to protect his neighborhood and Lord knows Rene can relate to her anger issues. Besides, partnering with her fills the void left by his former teammates and offers him the means to make a difference. However, the fact Emiko is neither part of the flash-forwards nor mentioned as part of Oliver’s Mark of Four pact leads to the suspicion that their partnership is short-lived. So it is not hard to draw a line from the current iteration of Rene adrift from his former teammates and frustrated by his inability to protect his home to the future Mayor bent on protecting The Glades at the expense of Star City at large. What is still in question is the identity of future Rene’s mystery friend and murderer of Felicity (IMDB has him listed as Kevin Dale)? Who does he represent and are they pulling Future Rene’s strings or do they just think they are?

To be honest, this episode left me with mixed feelings. I appreciated the old-school feel. And the explanation of Emiko’s abandonment gave more depth to the Queen family dynamics years after Robert and Moira’s deaths, and Walter’s departure. Yet Oliver’s anger troubled me. Not only because of its one-sidedness but because his anger on his own behalf felt petty and his anger on Emiko’s behalf felt unearned. More important than that, the episode meant to introduce us to Emiko gave us more questions than answers and spent far more time on the people affected by her existence than on the woman herself.

3 out of 5 quilt forts

Parting Thoughts:

How is Emiko bankrolling this little enterprise? Bribing mobsters ain’t cheap.

In that same vein, did Curtis borrow an A.R.G.U.S. van or does a tricked out van come with the secret lair and the Hood?

We won’t discuss the whole chain of custody issue of giving crime scene evidence to the wife of an SCPD deputy. Can we say inadmissible in court, boys and girls?

Emiko threatened to put an arrow through Rene. Oliver’s been there and done that.

It was a nice touch having Jamey Sheridan read Robert Queen’s letter. It was bizarre that it was the only time my close captioning specified who was talking - wrongly stating it was Oliver.

I could find no mention of Talis Global in the world of DC Comics. However, William Glenmorgan definitely exists. So does Santa Prisca.

Future Rene doesn’t have his scar. Did The Glades Mayor get plastic surgery?

The Archer program wiped out crime in The Glades. And somehow Zoe almost ruined everything when she got her hands on it. Color me curious.

And I meant to ask this in Unmasked. When did the Queen Mansion get destroyed? Was Isabel Rochev so vindictive that she burned the place to the ground?

Quotes:

Rene: “I guess stubbornness comes with the suit.”

Diaz: “Let me be real clear for the cheap seats. Screw you.”

Felicity: “Some husbands bring their wives home flowers, and mine brings me blood from a crime scene. They say romance is dead.”

Oliver: “My father was always very good at burying secrets.”

Felicity: “One more thing.” Oliver: “Just one more?”

Lyla: “Are you questioning my decision, Deputy Director?” Bell: “Of course not, Madam Director. That kind of radical out-of-the-box approach is exactly the shot in the arm A.R.G.U.S. needs. I’m sure the Pentagon will be very excited to hear about this.”

Emiko: “People can’t let you down if you don’t let them in.”

Rene: “At least as mayor, I’m actually getting things done, not wasting my time running around the city in a hockey mask pretending that it mattered.”

Lyla: “And here I thought I was the one in danger of becoming Amanda Waller.”

Curtis: “I can knock out the whole system – cameras, motion sensors, the whole shebang. But it’s up to you guys to deal with that army of terminators yourselves.”

Emiko: “I’m still not looking for a team.” Rene: “Ok, fine. Then how about a partner?”

Dale: “Star City is a cancer. The only way to get rid of a cancer is to destroy it.”

Diaz: When I agreed to this deal, no one said anything about sticking a bomb in the back of my head."

Shari loves sci-fi, fantasy, supernatural, and anything with a cape.

Every Superhero Who's Ever Been In The Justice League, Part 1: Adam Strange To Elongated Man While the Justice League in the latest DC movie features just a handful of heroes, the history of the team in the comic books is a lot more complicated. First created in 1960, over the decades it has seen over 150 members in a wide variety of divisions, offshoots, alternate versions, and reimaginings. From Justice Leagues America, Europe, and International to Justice League Dark and Justice League Elite, through the various timelines and reboots of Flashpoint, New 52, and Rebirth, it all gets a bit complicated. Here's the first part of our run-down of all the heroes who have been part of this legendary team over nearly 60 years of justice. Adam Strange A regular in the DC universe since the late '50s, Strange joined Justice League United as part of New 52 in 2014. He has bionic eyes, a jetpack, and an energy gun. Agent Liberty AKA: Benjamin Lockwood Former CIA agent turned masked crimefighter, Agent Liberty briefly joined the Justice League to fight Brainiac in 1991.

Catwoman AKA: Selina Kyle Gotham's greatest thief was part of the New 52 version of Justice League America, which was put together by Steve Trevor. Clock King AKA: William Tockman Another member of the inept Justice League Antarctica, Clock King possesses no super powers. In fact, his sole "ability" is a keen sense of punctuality. Cluemaster AKA: Arthur Brown Cluemaster is a failed game show host turned villain who, like Clock King, was packed off to Antarctica by Max Lord. Coldcast AKA: Nathan Jones The electromagnetism-controlling Coldcast was a member of Justice League Elite. This was a shadowy black ops team organised by Sister Superior, who dealt with the jobs that the normal Justice League would not. Congorilla AKA: William "Congo Bill" Glenmorgan Once a human who could transform into a gorilla, Congo Bill ultimately became trapped in the body of the beast.

Blue Bird's Justice League II

Justice League Day: The Last Justice League (New Earth)

Today is Justice League Day (18 November), which makes sense, because it's also the premiere weekend date for the Justice League film. To honor both events, I thought I would do a photoset of the Justice Leagues that Robins have lead, which only brings two distinct teams to mind – both led by Dick Grayson. This photoset will focus on the second Justice League that Grayson led. Dick Grayson (Batman), Donna Troy, Starfire, Victor Stone (Cyborg), James Harper (Guardian), Mon-El, Green Lantern Hal Jordan, and Oliver Queen (Green Arrow) joins the remaining Justice League, Kimiyo Hoshi (Dr. Light), Dinah Lance (Black Canary), and Ray Palmer (The Atom). However, things don't last for long, Starfire leaves to join R.E.B.E.L.S., Green Arrow was expelled for killing Prometheus, Green Lantern Hal Jordan leaves to deal with the aftermath of the Black Lanterns, Black Canary returns to the Birds of Prey, Mon-El returns to the future, Cyborg has his hands full with fixing Red Tornado and helping Red Arrow, The Atom is helping Martin Stein recover, the Guardian has his hand full in Metropolis and Dr. Light puts her priorities of parenthood above the League – leaving Dick Grayson and Donna Troy as the only members of the Justice League. The duo are quickly joined by Jack Knight (Starman) and William Glenmorgan (Congorilla), making a grand total of four members. Later on, Kara Zor-El (Supergirl) joins the League, followed by Jesse Chambers (Jesse Quick) leaving the Justice Society of America for the League, and she was followed by Jennifer-Lynn Hayden (Jade). This particular Justice League holds the distinction as the last Justice League team before the entire universe was rebooted for New 52. Image Used:
