365 Marvel Comics Paper Cut-Out SuperHeroes - One Hero, Every Day, All Year…
Boxing Day Supplemental - The Best of The Rest
Once more I have endeavored on a project wherein I’ve bitten off more than I can chew. There are just too many fun characters in the Marvel Universe and, apparently, not enough days in the year... Below the jump follow many of the heroes I made cut-outs for but could not fit into the schedule. And a very happy Kwanzaa and Boxing Day to one and all!
Blitzkrige
Franz Mittelstaedt was inspecting an electrical power plant when a stray bolt of lightning struck a faulty generator and bathed him in electricity. When he emerged from his coma weeks later, he found that he could summon lightning at will to wield as a weapon. He decided to use his power in the name of justice in his native country of Germany. He designed a colorful costume and operated under the moniker of ‘Blitzkrieg.’
The hero was selected by the Grandmaster to participate in the first Contest of Champions event. Later, Blitzkrieg joined the hero team known as The Schutz Heiligruppe as part of an effort to track down the renegade war criminal, The Red Skull. The Skull was eventually stopped but sadly Blitzkrieg perished in the adventure.
The hero first appeared in the pages of Marvel Super Hero Contest of Champions #1 (1982).
Pinpoint
Qureshi Gupta is a young super hero from New Delhi who recruited into the Champions after Ms. Marvel took leadership and decided to expand their ranks to make the team's reach global.
Qureshi possesses the ability to mentally create and control teleportation discs, which allow himself and others to teleport anywhere on Earth instantaneously. The nature and origin of these powers remain thus far unrevealed (although his green hair suggests that he may be a Mutant or Inhuman).
Pinpoint first appeared in the pages of Champions Vol. 3 #1 (2019).
The Paladin
The mysterious mercenary known as The Paladin has acted as both a villain as well as a hero, always dependent on who is paying his exorbitant fee. A master combatant, The Paladin is expert at many forms of martial arts ad fighting styles. He often employs a specialized stun-gun that fires a microwave signal that incapacitates foes. An early mission saw him hired to track down The Purple Man, leading to a confrontation with Daredevil. He was later hired by The Wasp in aiding the Avengers against Baron Brimstone. Other adventures entailed his teaming up with Spider-Man, as well as Generation X, and later Misty Knight’s iteration of The Heroes For Hire. He also worked for Silver Sable’s WildPack. Although he aided these various heroes, The Paladin always made it clear that his alignment was strictly determined by money. His loose morality notwithstanding, he did manage to catch the eye of The Wasp and the two had a brief affair whilst he acted as an unofficial member of The Avengers.
Some time later, The Paladin was hired to assassinate The Punisher, an assignment he failed in. He was then sanctioned to take out Daredevil which resulted in Daredevil being apprehended by the police. Some time thereafter, Paladin accepted an offer by Norman Osborn to lead a decidedly more nefarious version of The Thunderbolts during the Dark Reign era.
More recently, The Paladin aided Misty Knight during the Shadowland event. The Paladin first appeared in Daredevil Vol. 1 #150 (1977).
Ms. America
Madeline Joyce received super human powers when she was struck by a strange bolt of lightning near a lighthouse. She found that was suddenly imbued with the powers of flight, super strength and invulnerability. Dubbing herself Ms. America, she used her newfound powers to fight at the side of the Allied Forces during the Second World War.
Ms. America has been a member of the war-time group of heroes known as The invaders, as well as The Liberty Legion and the All Winners Squad. Following the War, Madeline married the fellow superhero, The Whizzer and the pair retired.
The heroine first appeared in the pages of Marvel Mystery Comics #49 (1943).
Feral
Maria Callasantos grew up in a housing tenement in an impoverished neighborhood of New York City. She came from a highly abusive home and she and her sister both manifested Mutant powers and attributes in their early teens. Both of them gradually transformed into cat-like creatures with enhanced strength and dexter and sharpened claws and teeth. The pair ran away and ended up joining the Morlock society under the city. Maria took on the name ‘Feral’ while her sister came to be known as ‘Thornn.’
Feral managed to evade the Marauders during he Morlock masseuse and ended up a founding member of Cable’s team of Mutant heroes, X-Force. She first appeared in the pages of New Mutants Vol. 1 #99 (1991).
Shamrock
Molly Fitzgerald was born a raised in Dunshaughlin, Ireland. Her father was a fanatically militant Irish nationalist. When Molly was three years old, her father took her and her brother to the North Ireland mountainsides and asked the heavens to grant his son the power to strike down its enemies. Although nothing seemed to have happened, Molly learned during her first year at University that she was the one who was blessed. She discovered she was surrounded by a protective aura that caused random improbabilities to manifest themselves on her behalf whenever she was in trouble. Rather than return to the war-torn mountains, she used her "good luck powers" to become Ireland's super heroine, Shamrock.
The heroine first appeared in the pages of Marvel Super Hero Contest of Champions #1 (1982).
The Destroyer
Roger Aubrey had been an English national who was arrested in Berlin around the onset of the Second World War. A prisoner of the villainous Colonel Dietrich, Aubrey was subjected to gruesome experiments as part of Dietrich’s efforts to create super soldiers for the schutzstaffel. The process that Aubry endured shrunk his body, leaving him only a few inches tall yet retaining the strength of his original size. In his diminutive state, Aubry was able to escape his captures and make his way back to England. From there he utilized what had happened to him to act as the hero Dyna-Mite as part of The Crusaders, a team of heroes for battled for the Allied Forces during the war.
Colonel Dietrich was later captured and forced to provide the formula that enabled Aubry to return to his original size. Some time thereafter, Aubry used a variation of the super soldier serum to gain enhanced strength and speed. He used these powers to assume the mantle of The Destroyer, running missions behind enemy lines. The Destroyer would later join the hero team, The Invaders, during the closing months of the war. During the war, Aubry maintained a secret romantic relationship with his teammate, Union Jack (Brian Falsworth). It was a different age and Roger and Brain felt compelled to keep their romance a secret.
Following the was, Aubry found that the special serum he had taken had the effect of slowing his aging process. As such, he continued on as the Destroyer and helped to establish the hero group known as The V-Battalion, whose mission statement was to prevent the rise of fascism across the globe. Years later, The Destroyer joined a new iteration of The Invaders led by The Thin Man.
Aubry’s first appearance was in the pages of All Winners Comics #8 (1943); his first appearance as The Destroyer was in Invaders Vol. 1 #26 (1977).

Seeking to further hone his skills as a warrior, Fireheart traveled to New York and accepted a contract to take down Spider-Man. This led to a number of battles between The Puma and Spider-Man. He additionally faced off with The Black Cat and then later battled Woilverine.
After witnessing Spider-Man save a group of innocent bystanders The Puma decided that the web-slinger was an honorable warrior and he chose to discontinue his attacks. Puma later teamed up with Silver Sable as a member of her mercenary force, The Wild Pack. The Puma first appeared in the pages of The Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 1 #256 (1984).
Patriot / Rayshaun Lucas
Rayshaun Lucas had been a young man living in The Harlem neighborhood of New York City. He was greatly moved by Captain America/Sam Wilson when the hero brought to light the racially-motivated injustices of the private security firm known as the AmeriCops.

In Santo’s case he became a geokinetic psychic entity. In other words, his consciousness animates a large humanoid body composed entirely of inorganic granite. This bestows him incredible super strength and durability as well as the capacity to reform his body after injury or destruction. Santo also found that he would fire of his fists as short range rocky missiles.
Santo had been a huge fan of the superhero known as the Hulk and was excited about his transformation and the new powers he come to possess, seemingly unfazed by the loss of his more traditional human physique. He was recruited into the Xavier School for Gifted Youngster where he became good friends with fellow classmates, Hellion and Anole. Taking the name ‘Rockslide’ he would go on to have numerous adventures as a member of the younger generation of fledgling X-Men.
Although Rockslide often said thoughtless things and presented himself as dim and insensitive, there were other times were he showed great insight and compassion. Above all he was a loyal friend to his colleagues among the X-Men.
Rockslide became a citizen of the Island Nation of Krakoa. He embarked on an adventure to the extra-dimensional realm known as Otherworld where he perished in combat. Due to the strange nature of Otherworld, The Five mutants who could facilitate Mutant resurrection were unable to bring Rockslide back to life, making him among the first Mutants to truly die on the island. Considering the parameters of his powers, however, it is not outside of the realm of possibilities that Rockslide may one day return.

After learning that his former pupil had become an Avenger, Duquesne fashioned himself a costume complete with an electrified sword, dubbed himself ‘The Swordsman’ and demanded that he too be invited into the ranks of the Avengers. He was rejected and it ultimately led to his fighting against The Avengers on numerous occasions.

A full cold Winter’s moon
A Christmas Full Moon 2023
(just as A pure Winter’s dream)
December’s full Moon rises near sunset for several nights in a row: December 25, 26, and 27. How perfect for the Christmas season! Learn why the full Cold Moon (also called the Long Night Moon) is special.
When to See December’s Full Moon
The full Moon for December is 100% illuminated on December 26, 7:33 P.M. (EST). This is the first full Moon after the winter solstice, and it falls right during Christmastime this year!
7:33pm as a mirroring of Love envelopes, inc. at 10733 east Ute street in Tulsa, Oklahoma
A Winter’s scene on the 2nd of march 2019 on the day my daughter Kelsey married
(marriage on earth is a lifelong covenant shared between a faithful husband & wife, but there is also an eternal spiritual marriage between Yeshua and the beautiful mystery “unveiled” of His Church Body and Bride)
the moon (just as the Spirit) is A silent “proposal” of friendship to be seen by the eyes of garden earth.
(Full Circle)
A peaceful sound
the title and closing track (#10) on the 2022 album Over Tage (Danish for “Over Roofs”) by Svaneborg Kardyb
youtube
A car and a phone call is not the path i chose
i chose writing from the instrumental womb of silence
(illuminated on a screen)
what will you do with this inner conversation?
i am always right [here, & now] in the (Waiting)
does my heart feel rejected?
yes, at times, but never rejected by Love.
the “loneliness” of the moon is waiting for someone to open up to it (inside, Anew)
(it’s all about the asking and waiting for someone to open up)

Have a Very Feminist Holiday!
by Helena Donato-Sapp
There are many celebrations happening in the Winter months. Among them are Hanukkah, Winter Solstice/Yule/Christmastide, Los Posadas, Kwanzaa, Christmas, Soyal, and many others. My family is non-religious but we celebrate Christmas with presents, hot chocolate, Santa and his elves, and of course, the trimming of the Christmas tree.
One of the traditions we celebrate is exchanging ornaments. My Dad says, “A Christmas tree tells the story of your life.” This is certainly true in our home! The ornaments on our tree go back three generations now. There are old glass ornaments from my Great Grandparents and hand-crocheted ones from a Great Grandmother. My Dad’s Mom has given him an ornament every year of his life and he enjoys telling the stories of why he got this one and that one and, well, he gets very emotional about it all. He passed on this great tradition to me and, even at just 13 years of age, I have a whole tree full of Christmas ornaments that have been carefully selected and gifted to tell the highlights from each year of my life. They celebrate my birth, every show I have ever loved – from My Little Pony to Stranger Things, and key events like when I got my 2nd-degree purple belt in karate or was selected as Team Captain of my school’s volleyball team. It’s all there. My entire life.
You are probably asking yourself what in the heck this has to do with feminism!
I think it is important to get out a feminist message whenever you can. And one way I have taken the wonderful traditions around ornaments in my own family and added my own tradition is that I have been making ornaments for my classmates, family, and friends every year since kindergarten. I like to include feminist, activist, and decolonizing messages on them. I want them to be inclusive too. Here are some examples from my past holidays.
By the way, this is a great activity to do with your Girls Learn International Chapter at school. Or with your feminist-minded friends.
In 2018 I tried to include as many different faiths as I could think of and here you’ll see a Star of David and the Kwanzaa Kinara. I also had some with dreidels on them. As I said, I come from a non-religious home, but I like being inclusive and celebrating people’s faiths.
In 2019 I was explicitly feminist! I used a favorite quote from bell hooks – “Feminism is for everyone!” and I wrote that on each ornament, along with other youth activist and women that I admire. This ornament, by the way, was a big hit!
In 2020, during the pandemic, I did these small, flat wooden ornaments that I could easily send through the mail. Since I come from a two-dad family, I did a lot of PRIDE flag colors on them, but I also made the snowmen, Santa, and the elves all a beautiful brown as a way to decolonize ornaments. Yes! I just wrote that! I want to take every chance to confront white supremacy and smash the patriarchy and I will even do that through the ornaments I make and give away!
What do you need to make your own feminist holiday ornaments?
Be Creative: There are no wrong ways to do this. Be creative. I find that folks love what I come up with and now that I’ve done it for many years, they are eager to add this year’s ornament to their growing collection and they anticipate what I am going to come up with. Have fun!
Be Cost-effective: We live on a budget at our house and so we go the week AFTER Christmas and buy up ornaments that are 70% off! We save those for next year and, this way, we get all our gifts done for pennies. But, there are inexpensive sets of ornaments everywhere and we look for those. Hobby shops have the wooden ones (or shop online). There are endless choices of types of ornaments. I just try to vary them from year to year.
Be Colorful: The wooden ornaments can be colored with regular magic marker pens. The glass ornaments need a multi-surface premium oil-based paint pen and these can be purchased at your local craft store as well. Mine have lasted for years and years.
Being a feminist is a way of life. And it’s an important message that I want to bring to the world as much as possible. Sometimes that means marching. Sometimes that means writing my truths and getting my voice out into the world. Sometimes it means being more political. Sometimes it means writing politicians and companies and confronting policies and sexism in advertisements. Sometimes it means organizing. There are many ways to be a feminist.
So, go out there and have a merry Feminist holiday and spread the good news that feminism is for everyone! Merry Feminism!

Stuff I’m Looking Forward to in December
Can’t believe it is now the last month of 2022!?! In addition to Pearl Harbor Day (Dec. 7), Hanukkah (from Dec. 18 to Dec. 26), first day of Winter (Dec. 21), Christmas Day (Dec. 25), Kwanzaa (from Dec. 26 to Jan. 1) and New Year’s Eve (Dec. 31) here is what’s on my radar this month:
Movies:
It’s a big month for Oscar prestige films (i.e. Empire of Light which I reviewed at IFFBoston Fall Focus), many of which are getting limited release and then expanded release later in the month or in January. But it’s also a big month for event movies to see over Xmas break (i.e. Avatar: The Way of Water and Puss in Boots: The Last Wish). Here are just a few I’m excited about:
Spoiler Alert
I’m a big fan of director Michael Showalter. His comedy-drama The Big Sick was my #1 Movie of 2017. Now he’s back with a new comedy-drama opening in limited release on 12/2.
The Whale
Daron Aronofsky is hit or miss, but when he’s good, he’s really good. This adaptation of a play features Brendan Fraser in what many are saying is a career comeback. He was great in last year’s No Sudden Move, so this Brennaissance could live up to the hype. Limited release on 12/9.
The Trial
Orson Welles’ 1962 film is getting a restoration re-release on 12/9.
If These Walls Could Sing
Paul McCartney’s daughter Mary is a very talented photographer and filmmaker. I was a big fan of the doc Wingspan, which she produced and it shows her interviewing her father. Now she has documented the world famous recording studio Abbey Road Studios, which both her father and Ringo Starr (both interviewees) know a thing or two about. Premieres on 12/16 on Disney+.
Babylon
Damien Chazelle has been on a role and now he’s back with his 1920s Hollywood epic opening on 12/23.
Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery
Rian Johnson’s 2019 mystery Knives Out was a fun whodunit. The sequel with Daniel Craig’s detective cracking a new case recently opened theatrically and it drops on Netflix on 12/23.
End of the Year Lists:
As anyone who knows me knows, I wait until after the year ends to begin unveiling my best-of-the-year lists (you never know, something great might be released on 12/31!), so expect my lists to be rolled out beginning in January. In the meantime, I’ll be reading all of the Best of 2022 lists that begin dropping this month!

Umoja (Unity): To strive for and to maintain unity in the family, community, nation, and race.
Yeah! I know I’m technically uploading this a day late. I decided to draw some pics based off the seven principals of Kwanzaa.Because even as someone who doesn’t celebrate the holiday myself, I do appreciate the meaning & theme behind the holiday. Anyway, I’ll work on a pic for Kujichagulia later today.

KWANZAA AFTER DARK: DAY 4
KWANZAA AFTER DARK: DAY 4
Reflecting on Cooperative Economics…
Kwanzaa After Dark is about reflection. After you’ve spent the day doing the Afrikan rituals within your community, go home and think about how you, as an individual can change.
We all come from the cradle of civilization. We all can support Kwanzaa. Why don’t we? Think about that.
Thank you for visiting.
Shila Iris,
