Captain Zero (magazine)
''Captain Zero'' was an American pulp magazine that published three issues in 1949 and 1950. The lead novels, written by G.T. Fleming-Roberts, featured Lee Allyn, who had been the subject of an experiment with radiation, and as a result was invisible between midnight and dawn.Weinberg (1985), pp. 158-159. Under the name Captain Zero, Allyn became a vigilante, fighting crime at night. Allyn had no other superpowers, and the novels were straightforward mysteries in Weinberg's opinion,Weinberg (1985), pp. 158-159. though pulp historian Robert Sampson considers them to be "complex...heypound along with hair-raising incidents..full of twists and high suspense".Sampson (1983), pp. 83-87.

Captain Hero
This is a list of characters appearing in the animated television series ''Drawn Together''. Main characters Princess Clara ;Voiced by Tara Strong Princess Clara is a parody of Disney princesses (mostly Ariel from ''The Little Mermaid'', Belle from ''Beauty and the Beast'' and possibly Giselle from Enchanted). Most of her humor revolves around her bigotry, gullibility, stupidity and religious fanaticism. Among reality show archetypes, she represents the sheltered rich girl. According to creators Jeser and Silverstein, they partially based Clara on '' The Real World: New Orleans'' Julie Stoffer, a Mormon who had little experience dealing with gay people or people of other cultures and who tended to make offensive remarks without realizing it. Originally, while Clara was portrayed as being bigoted, she never seemed to be genuinely and completely hateful. For example, she seemed to get along with both Foxxy and Xandir despite being bigoted and homophobic, and acted surp ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
