Zhu Long in mythology is a chinese dragon who can go down into the underworld. His in game ability brings back V5 nemmys from the dead. DWFixer has no hat and a major scar where he was stabbed so is therefor presumed to be the walking dead by popular speculation. They are nemmys of eachother in game.

Connection? Is Zhu Long the one who brought Fixer back? If so why? Oh what a twisted tale we weave.

Only this one you have to set back in a pre-detective comics era during the 1920's when everything was about chinese stereotypes and orientalism.  A kid learns to repair cars despite being blind and starts solving crimes and taking on the mob.  It's probably a movie that no one knows about anymore.  

They make a comic version of him in the 40's, has a short life.

in the 60's he comes back African American, but isn't explored well and gets dropped.

But then in the 90's they bring him out again as this old mentor dude for their rook city crew.

The alternative is unthinkable.

Someone counted The Naturalist being black on the list. If being BLACK is a disability, I'd say being BALD (especially for a young female like the Visionary) definitely counts.

Meanwhile Absolute Zero has Assholeitus (I suffer from it myself; I know the pain!), Bunker has BOS (Blatant Overcompensation Syndrome), Fanatic cannot feel anything from the neck down, Haka's favorite band is ABBA, The Scholar is unemployed, Argent Adept is that annoying roommate who plays too many instruments and keeps you up all night, Omnitron-X is suicidal, Setback is an idiot (the most lovable idiot, but still), and Nightmist is a PARANORMAL INVESTEGATOR!

My boyfriend feels your hairless pain. He had waist-length hair which started thinning, and resisted the inevitable for quite a while before making the leap and shaving it all off (netting £1500 for a cancer research charity in the process).

As much as I like long hair, I think he looks better shaved. It suits him.

I dunno about that.  He could probably get a job at Sea World or maybe in Vegas.  I admit that no amount of affirmative action will get him a job as a lawyer or teacher or doctor, but he's got job opportunities, albeit, probably not jobs he WANTS.

Additionally, while we all call Tempest "he/him", I believe that Christopher confirmed that Tempest's race actually has no sexual distinction, so Tempest (in our language) is an it.  Thus, in addition to being an illegal alien, Tempest faces discrimination for being asexual too.

Though even without gender, calling someone an it is not quite right except maybe for some robots. Take Piccolo from Dragonball for example, since Tempest is obviously influenced by his design, his race has no genders either and they spit out eggs from their mouths, but Piccolo is generally refered to as "he/him". The Namekians have more masculine features, if they were more feminine then it would be the other way around and would refer to them as "she/her".

BR

Right, and that's why I don't oppose to people calling Tempest "him", but that doesn't mean it isn't a cause for discrimination.  The same problem exists for Omnitron-X.  Technically, "he" is an it as well, and according to Christopher, thinks of itself as an it, but most of us refer to it as "he".  I tend to avoid the problem by referring to O-X as O-X, but I've heard from others that Christopher doesn't care for the nickname of O-X  :stuck_out_tongue:

 

Again, I'm not saying anyone shouldn't refer to Tempest and Omnitron-X as a "he", just pointing out (humorous) grounds for (theoretical) discrimination.

RE

I just wanted to point out that "he" is gender inclusive in English.  If the gender of someone is unknown or cannot be discerned (or, in this case, nonexistent), then "he" is an appropriate term to address "him" by.  Unless, of course, "he" objects to this term and ask that you use a different one.  If you persist at that point, you're kind of being a jerk.

And there is nothing wrong with the word "they" as a gender inclusive term.  So we're agreed that "he" or "they" is perfectly acceptable, then?  Unless, of course, we hear otherwise from Christopher or we end up hurting Omnitron-X or Tempest's feelings.

Envisioner

I don't find it unnatural.  It refers to a group of people without specifying their genders; one person is a group of one.

If you want unnatural, look at Spanish, where a group of one man and 500,000 women is referred to by a male-specific plural pronoun.

NI
Nielzabub

This does not undermine anything I said. They is a perfectly acceptable gender neutral term when talking about a group. I just said it feels unnatural when talking about a single person or entity.
