Lisa from Comic Book Couples Counseling as Squirrel Girl) (50:38) DOC: Hello Squirrel Girl, I'm Dr. Issues. SQUIRREL GIRL: Oh I know who you are. I have your trading card! D: What? SG: Oh, Deadpool came up with trading cards for all kinds of heroes, villains, and other associated characters. D: But I'm not a- SG: Now that I'm seeing you in person, though, I think the artist didn't capture your features well at all. D: I'm so confused… SG: Sorry, I know I'm throwing a lot at you. Let's start over. Hi, I'm Doree-uh, Squirrel Girl. D: I know your name, but we can go with Squirrel Girl if you'd like. SG: How'd you discover that? My totally secret identity is totally a secret. Unless… CAN YOU TALK TO SQUIRRELS TOO? D: No, can't say that I can. (Although I honestly haven't tried…) Anyway, I'm not supposed to be the focus of an encounter. How can I help you? SG: Can I get an autograph? D: *pause* You are really taking this trading card thing to heart, huh? SG: Is that a yes? D: Short answer, no. Longer answer, only if you actually discuss something that is worth being in a psychiatrist's office for besides giving off fangirl vibes. SG: Well, aren't you a party pooper! Ok then, help me deal with squirrels. D: I...uh...well, I would need to know a little about their...personalities? Is there some sort of baseline compatible with humans and the type of sentience I'd be used to? SG: They're way more capable of bridging the gap between humanity and squirreldom than you think! They can be as moody and petty and impulsive as anyone you've ever treated. I'm sure of that. D: I usually see you pictured with one squirrel, though. Obviously you have favorites. Pets are certainly a part of the family. SG: Do you consider your child to be a pet, then? D: Well...no. I can see how my wording can make things sound awkward. I'm sure to make plenty of mistakes. SG: So that part of the card is true! D: *flustered* Does that card say anything GOOD about me? SG: I thought you weren't going to talk about yourself. D: Only because you brought it up again! So...back to it. You're close to squirrels. How does that compare to humans around you? SG: Not bad. Actually, I think I can relate to just about anything that wants to talk. D: That's wonderful! Do you have an example? SG: I was nice to Galactus so he didn't eat the Earth. D: You...you saved all of us from something that could eradicate us with hunger, all by being nice to him? You shooed away an omnipotent being? You defeated multiple villains with an army of creatures the average person ignores or actively tries to avoid. Life...doesn't usually work out that way. SG: It does for me. Are you calling me a liar? D: No! In fact, you may be the most honest patient I've had in a while. But that's not something I can help you improve. What's something that you consider to be a weakness? SG: Sometimes, I think I'm too nice. D: I've definitely heard that before. You don't want to give too much of yourself to others, and leave little time for yourself. What would you say is the ideal balance for you? SG: Maybe stereotypical, but how about 50/50. D: 50/50...of what? There's more than 2 sides to a person's life. SG: Not necessarily. Half for me, half for everyone else. D: *truly stunned* I mean, spiritual, physical, family and friends, vocational...you're telling me that it all comes down to 50/50? SG: Yup. Works for me. Works for my teammates. It probably doesn't work for enemies, but that's why I win! D: I don't want to lose track of you saying you're TOO nice. And yet, you're giving me an amazing, elegant schema for which you view life. What's off kilter? SG: I babysit too much. D: So...don't do it as much? SG: *genuine surprise* Really? That makes so much sense! Then I would have more time to do other things! Wow. I needed to hear that. Thank you so much! D: *clearly thinks this is sarcasm* You don't have to bait me into thinking- SG: *interrupting* Sometimes it just takes a professional like you to remind a regular old superbeing like me about the little things. That intelligence rating on your card is spot on! D: Wait...what? I'm considered intelligent? At what rank? SG: Ooooh, nice try, but I learned my lesson. You don't want to talk about yourself or that silly card. D: But I thought you wanted me to sign it. SG: Hmm… I suppose it would add to the value. Although we don't have any way to verify the signature, and CGC is backed up like CRAZY these days… fine, here you go. D: *signing sound* And now that I have it, lemme take a look… A THREE?!?! THAT'S IT?!?! SG: It's out of 7, so it's not as bad as it sounds. D: YOU'RE NOT HELPING. SG:I'm only a three too. So is Captain America. D: I'm...with...him...but he's the very essence of what a hero is supposed to be. I gushed to him...oops! SG: I KNEW IT! You're just like all of us, and yet, you still help everyone you see. We're not so different. D: Except you have squirrel powers. SG: Are you going to keep saying that? D: As long as you keep saying I'm just like you. SG: Then how can you bridge the gap between people who can't see the common stuff? D: *pause* You just summarized my whole life's goal to make sure I stayed on track. I'm dumbfounded. How about this: I try to understand more about critter characterization, and you...just keep being you, except stick to a basic question I can answer like before. SG: It's a deal! I'll bring Tippy-Toe along next time, and I'll translate for you. D: OK. So should I bring nuts for him- SG: Her. And we'll bring our own. She's very particular. No offense. D: Understood.

For this episode I'm joined by playwright Karen Zacarías for a conversation on playwriting and Marvel's Squirrel Girl. Zacarías is one of our country's most produced playwrights, and among her latest plays is “Squirrel Girl Goes to College: A Squirrel Girl Play,” developed with Marvel as part of their new Marvel Spotlight collection. Marvel Spotlight, which also includes plays by Christian Borle and Masi Asare, is a new collection of short plays from Marvel and Samuel French aimed at students and young adults. And in Zacarías's play Squirrel Girl, whose real name is Doreen Green, must battle the likes of Doctor Doom and other villains all while trying to maintain a normal life as a college freshman. If you're not familiar with Squirrel Girl and her super strength, sharp claws, and power to communicate with squirrels—don't worry. In this interview Zacarías will tell you all you need to know about this powerful and comedic hero who's always down to “eat nuts and kick butts.” She also describes what it's like to write a play for Marvel, creating positive role models for young women, and what animal she would command if she, too, could commune with wildlife. Whether you're into theater—or even if you're not and just into Marvel and the comic books, movies, or video games—I think you're really going to like this conversation.

Squirrel Girl goes back to the 1960s and battles Doctor Doom and then teams up with Howard the Duck.Affiliate link included.Transcript:Graham:Squirrel Girl heads back to the 60s more than once. We'll take a look at it as we take a look at Squirrel Girl Vol. 3: Squirrel, You Really Got Me Now.[Intro Music]Announcer:Welcome to the Classy Comics podcast where we search for the best comics in the universe. From Boise Idaho, here is your host Adam Graham. Graham:This book is a bit longer than most Squirrel Girl books. It collects issues 1 through 6 plus it also collects issue 6 of Howard the Duck where there was a crossover. For those who don't know, Squirrel Girl is Doreen Green, an Empire State University computer science student with powers like superhuman agility, a prehensile tail and actually the ability to communicate with squirrels. She was created by Will Murray and Steve Ditko with the idea of having her be a lot horrid character back in the 90s and that was fully realized in the unbeatable Squirrel Girl series. Now this is volume 3 because there was actually a previous series of 8 issues that was relaunched because of Secret Wars when Marvel relaunched all of their comics and I have to give props to the creative team of Ryan North and Erica Henderson with the cover which cleverly has the saying, “Only our second number one this year so for”. The first issue is a pretty basic story. Doreen's mom comes for a visit and tells embarrassing stories that embarrass her in front of her friend Nancy. However, seemingly out of nowhere, the Hydra villain, Brain Drain appears and attacks but Tippy Toe, Squirrel Girl's squirrel is able to chew through some wires which frees him from Hydra control and ends up in him enrolling that E.S.U. to study computer science.This story was a one issue one shot story. It didn't work for me. It felt like they were trying a little bit too hard and it also felt like there was too much going on in the issue for it to work because you had like a brief intro fight and then you had the meeting with mom and then you had Brain Drain. So, it was really unfocused.Next up though, is issues 2 through 5, which is a story which begins with Squirrel Girl, out of nowhere, waking up in the 1960s. And this is before the Fantastic Four and Spider-Man emerged. And so she goes ahead, tries to fit into the 1960s but she notices someone who has ear buds in which is not technology that was available back in the 60s and so it turns out there are a lot of E.S.U. computer science students who have ended up back in the 1960s. At the same time, only one person from the modern day remembers that there is a Squirrel Girl and that she's gone and that's her friend Nancy. So, Nancy sets out to find someone who can travel back in time after she finds a message from Squirrel Girl. Unfortunately, people who are friends with Squirrel Girl, such as Tony Stark, don't actually remember that she existed. So, she ends up having to ask for help from Dr. Doom and she explains that it's possible that Squirrel Girl could meet an earlier version of Doom and end up defeating him and she promises to stop Squirrel Girl from doing that if he'll only take her back in time.They arrive in the 1960s but instead of taking everybody back as promised, Doom has another idea. And what I really like about this is they do capture kind of the absurdity of Doom's attitude in many ways and it's actually pretty funny. After Nancy checks her time frame on Wikipedia for the timeline of the 20th century, it reveals that Doom actually took over the world in 1962. Doom, says “I've won. I've already won. No matter what the era, Doom always win and this world shall be run by Doom.” and Nancy says, “We had a deal, Victor.” “You agreed that you would ensure she never attacks me.

¡We are back, Pacientes Oyentes! Aquí estamos de nuevo, con algo más de retraso de lo que quisieramos, pero inasequibles al desaliento. Nuestras disculpas, tanto por la (ay, recurrente) demora en publicar como por algunos problemas que hemos tenido en la calidad del audio, y que os explicamos al comienzo de este episodio. La verdad es que hemos tenido más contratiempos para sacar este podcast que los que le suceden a Peter Parker en todo el metraje de Spiderman: Homecoming. Y ya que lo mencionamos, hablamos de un tema que nos encanta, y que no puede ser más tendencia en este momento: Los superhéroes, esos desfacedores de entuertos, con poderes sobrehumanos, que sobrevuelan la ciudad en pijama. Sin intención de hacer un repaso exhaustivo, en esta tertulia cada uno de nosotros hablamos de tres héroes de las viñetas que nos hacen especial gracia por una u otra razón. No esperéis que nos vayamos a los personajes más icónicos: Como mentes eclécticas y algo dementes que somos, veréis que nos muchas veces nos hemos salido por peteneras, y hemos apostado por personajes que no son tan conocidos (muchos aún no tienen película o serie, imaginate) o cuya superheroicidad puede ser debatible, pero que tocan nuestra fibra sensible por uno u otro motivo. Así que a continuación os ofrecemos nuestro sumario, que viene a ser algo así como nuestra alineación soñada de Vengadores Orbitales, por así decirlo. Esperamos que os guste. Faith (Valiant Comics). Que no os engañe el aspecto no normativo de Faith Herbert. De nombre en clave Zephyr, es sin duda una de las superheroinas del Universo Valiant más dignas de tal nombre, con poderes de vuelo y campos de fuerza, que igual puede salvar unos gatitos que abortar una invasión alienígena, con tiempo para volver a casa y revisionar por enésima vez Buffy Cazavampiros. Aquaman (DC Comics). Arthur Curry, superhumano anfibio y heredero del pueblo submarino de Atlantis, es uno de los personajes históricos de DC. Sus poderes submarinos y su representación en algunos medios pueden haberle hecho motivo de chanza entre algunos aficionados, como vemos en The Big Bang Theory, pero en la actualidad es una de las bestias pardas del universo DC, como atestigua su inminente protagonismo en la película de La Liga de La Justicia. Squirrel Girl (Marvel Comics). "She eat nuts, and kick butts!". Tener la fuerza y habilidades proporcionales de una ardilla puede no parecer gran cosa, pero esto no acompleja en lo más mínimo a Doreen Green, la Chica Ardilla, que es capaz de apalizar a villanos como el Doctor Muerte, Kraven el Cazador o Galactus... y si hace falta, darles un abrazo para que se sientan queridos y se replanteen su carrera criminal. De lo más divertido de Marvel Comics ahora mismo, palabra. Calico Electrónico (Nikodemo Animation): Originalmente una mascota publicitaria de la empresa ElectronicaWeb, este superheroe bajito, barrigón, con un acento algo cerrado y un sentido del humor tan peculiar como procaz protagonizó durante años una webserie basada en animación Flash que se convertiría en uno de los primeros fenomenos virales en España. Ms Marvel (Marvel Comics): Khamala Khan es una inteligente adolescente americana de origen pakistaní, que cuando adquiere superpoderes metamórficos, no duda en enfundarse las mallas a imagen y semejanza de su ídolo, la Capitana Marvel, para combatir el crimen en su barrio. Ms Marvel es un comic muy divertido, pero que no duda en tocar temas sociales y que es el ejemplo más notable de la apuesta por la diversidad que ha hecho Marvel Comics en los ultimos años. Supergirl (DC Comics): A pesar de tener un personaje con una larga historia (creado en los 60, nada menos) y de ser de los primeros superhéroes en contar con una película, allá en los 80, Kara Zor-El ha tenido una azarosa vida editorial, sobre todo desde que DC optó por "matar" al personaje en los 80, y recuperarlo mediante nuevas encarnaciones. En todo caso parece que Kara vive un nuevo resurgimiento, sobre todo gracias a la reciente serie de televisión de CW. Starman (DC Comics): Jack Knight es el hijo de Ted Knight, un viejo superhéroe de los 40, que se ve obligado a asumir a regañadientes el rol de superhéroe cuando su hermano es asesinado y proteger a su ciudad natal, Opal City. Este es el inicio de una deliciosa colección de los 90, que aprovecha para rendir homenaje a la rica historia editorial de DC Comics, desde los años 40 hasta el presente, rindiendo homenaje al pasado, pero siempre desde una perspectiva moderna. Super Lopez (Ediciones B): Super López, uno de los personajes todavía vigentes de la Editorial Bruguera, no necesita presentación. Nuestra versión patria, paródica y bigotuda de Superman, trabaja en una oficina, sujeto a los jefes explotadores y los compañeros trepas, y además las mallas del traje le hacen arrugas, pero eso no le detendrá de combatir el crimen, aunque pueda llevarse alguna bofetada por el camino. Que el tono de comedia no os despiste, porque Jan, el autor completo de la serie, puede llegar a tratar temas muy serios debajo del aire de cachondeo. Star Contra Las Fuerzas del Mal (Disney): Oriunda del mundo mágico de Mewni, Star es una preadolescente de 13 años que está destinada a comvertirse en su reina y combatir las amenazas mágicas con su varita... Lástima que Star sea un trasto que la lía parda la primera vez que usa sus poderes, y sus padres tengan que mandarla a la Tierra como alumna de intercambio a ver si se encauza... pero no parece. Combatiendo fuerzas diabólicas a base de ataques de tan tronchantes como "¡Estampida de Unicornios!" o "¡Perritos Laser!", Star Contra Las Fuerzas Del Mal se ríe y subvierte los estereotipos de las series de acción para niños y para niñas. Doctor Fate (DC Comics): Desde el principio de los tiempos, la entidad cósmica conocida como Nabú, el Señor Del Orden, puede poseer a mortales a través de un casco encantado, para convertirse en un hechicero capaz de rechazar los ataques místicos de las Fuerzas del Caos. Fate es otro personaje que ha sufrido muchas vicisitudes editoriales, pero es una interesante vuelta de tuerca al concepto de hechicero supremo que representa el Doctor Strange en Marvel. Hulka (Marvel Comics): Cuando su prima, la abogada Jennifer Walters, es tiroteada por la Mafia, a Bruce Banner solo se le ocurrió hacerle una transfusión de su sangre, para salvarla, convirtiéndola en una mujer verde, superfuerte y de 2 metros de altura. Pero no os apuréis, si Hulk es un monstruo furioso, Hulka es inteligente, desinhibida y con un gran sentido del humor. Los mejores comics que ha tenido tienen una vertiente de comedia pero nosotros nos centramos en la genial y deliciosamente absurda etapa dibujada y escrita por John Byrne, donde ella es consciente de que forma parte de un comic. Mazinger Z (Shüeisha): Eh, no nos miréis así. ¿Alguien le pone pegas a Tony Stark por llamarse a si mismo "superhéroe" cuando tan solo se pone una armadura? Pues Koji Kabuto solo se pone una "armadura" más grande para combatir a los Brutos Mecánicos. De 10 metros de altura, para ser exactos. Bromas aparte, hablamos de este personaje que forma parte de la memoria sentimental de mucha gente de nuestra edad, y que también ha tenido muchas encarnaciones, desde la más clásica hasta la reciente "Edición Impacto"... ¡y hasta una versión valenciana!

Los Mensaheros 015- Noticias Septiembre- parte 1 de 3 Hemos vuelto de las vacaciones con las pilas cargadas y os traemos nueva dosis de noticias del mundo de los superhéroes. Un saludo muy muy grande a todos los oyentes que han pasado la cifra de descargas en 1300 el primer bloque y casi 1000 el segundo bloque en este mes de agosto pasado. Recuerda que Los Mensaheros se graba mensualmente pero se lanza en 3 bloques a lo largo del mes. PRIMERA PARTE – Noticias SEGUNDA PARTE – Debate: Se puede salvar el universo extendido de DC TERCERA PARTE -Esto lo van a ver dos personas: Daredevil de 2003 Este podcast está patrocinado por Don disfraz, y durante los meses de Agosto, Septiembre y Octubre puedes conseguir un disfraz valorado en 50 euros, si eres uno de nuestros mecenas ( https://www.patreon.com/Nacionpodcast ) o dejando un comentario en este post. Entra en http://www.dondisfraz.com/ y ve mirando cual te gusta… Noticias Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. -Según un rumor, parece que podría haber un vengador en la nueva temporada de Agent of Shield. Bueno, pues eso parece, aunque no hay nada asegurado pero todo viene porque TV Line ha publicado un interesante spoiler que indica que una de las cinco cadenas grandes guarda un as en la manga con la presencia de un sorprendente actor o actriz que aparecerá en una de sus series estrella. Al parecer alrededor de la aparición de la estrella hay mucho secretismo y muchos ojos ya han empezado a apuntar a Agents of SHIELD.Por supuesto, esto significaría que podría hacer un breve cameo un importante personaje de las películas de Marvel Studios, por lo que Sunne, podrá ver esta serie ya que tendríamos el ansiado cameo de un VENGADOR. Nuevamente está demostrado que alguien en las grandes esferas oye nuestro podcast. Puede que no sea recíproco, es decir seguramente en la gran pantalla nunca veamos referencias a Agents of SHIELD, pero eso no significa que en la serie puedan hacer referencia directa a lo que ocurra en el cine. Superman –Henry Cavill desveló lo que podría ser el nuevo traje de Superman en la película de la liga de la justicia Hace un tiempo se especulaba sobre el aspecto que luciría Superman en la próxima película de la Liga de la Justicia después de que acabara muerto por Doomsday. La gente se pregunta eso porque según los comics una vez resucita lo hace con un traje negro, bien, pues Henry Cavill, conocido por interpretar a Superman en el Universo Cinematográfico de DC, ha alimentado aún más los rumores con la siguiente fotografía que ha compartido a través de su cuenta de Instagram. Spiderman -La Mary Jane de Tom Holland no acaba de gustar a los fans Con todos mis respetos, hay algún fan que se podría ir a la mierda. Cabreo en mayúsculas de los fans por las diferencias entre la actriz y el personaje de los cómics. Hasta hoy Kirsten Dunst ha sido la única Mary Jane Watson del cine. En Spider-Man: Homecoming, Peter Parker, vuelve a sus años de instituto y Mari Jane, ya está confirmado, estará interpretada por Zendaya. El fichaje de la actriz, conocida por ser una estrella de Disney Channel fue anunciado a comienzos de este año y su personaje se identificó como Michelle. Ahora según la propia producción de la película, sabemos que su verdadero rol será el de Mary Jane, pero como nunca llueve a gusto de todos, no todos los fans están contentos A pesar de la profesionalidad que dicen tiene esta actriz, el talento y la imagen dulce pero agresiva de Zendaya (lo que la hace ideal para el personaje) creemos que va a aterrizar una horda de haters que han puesto y van a poner más si cabe el grito en el cielo por los rasgos tan diferentes de esta actriz con el personaje original. Gambito -Otro director que abandona el proyecto de Gambito. Doug Liman tampoco ha aguantado, vamos a empezar a llamar a esta película Gambito, el proyecto maldito. Después de muchísimos retrasos por varias razones, es de nuevo el director diciendo que abandona el barco y crea una duda sobre esta adaptación cinematográfica del mutante. De momento no hay nada oficial, pero tras la revelación de que Liman dirigirá la película de DC de La Liga de la Justicia, los medios se han apresurado a indicar que el nuevo trabajo supone decir adiós al spin-off de los X-Men. Opinión Wichito: Creo que finalmente se rodará siempre y cuando Chaning Tatum siga empujando, porque en varias ocasiones ya hemos visto que ha sido él el que aguantaba y no se rendía. Está haciendo lo mismo que Hugh Jackman con Lobezno y Ryan Reynolds con Deadpool que fueron los principales impulsores de sus spin-offs. De todas maneras espero que el enfoque sea diferente al que se quería dar en un inicio (Enfoque orígenes). Deathstroke -Ben affleck anunció quien sería el villano de su película en Batman. Ben Affleck alegró a un montón de fans anunciando que Villano sería el que lucharía contra Bruce Wayne en la película de Batman en solitario. Realmente no dijo nada, únicamente subió un video en el que se veía un actor disfrazado de Deathstroke en una escena que tampoco se sabe si pertenecerá a la película. Personalmente no me parece mala elección, ya estoy cansado de tanto Joker y tanto villano típico y si escogen a Slade Wilson tendremos escenas de acción aseguradas. Es curioso que Deathstroke, todavía no haya tenido su oportunidad en la gran pantalla. Las reacciones de momento por parte de los fans han sido increíblemente positivas… https://t.co/0NsNzCtGip — Ben Affleck (@BenAffleck) August 29, 2016 El actor escogido se confirmó días después de este chivatazo de Ben Affleck y aunque para gran parte del público no es conocido, yo tengo que decir que no me desagrada en absoluto. Su nombre es Joe Manganiello y lo pudimos ver como uno de los hombres lobos en True Blood. También hizo de Flash Thomposon en la primera película de Spiderman de Sam Raimi. Geoff Johns, que junto a Ben Affleck es coguionista de la nueva película de Batman, no ha dado más información no ha querido confirmar si habrá un cameo de Manganiello en La Liga de la Justicia. Los nuevos guerreros – Marvel y ABC trabajan en una serie de los nuevos guerreros con chica ardilla entre ellos Se ha dado a conocer una información relevante para el Universo Televisivo de Marvel que parece ser está trabajando en colaboración con la cadena ABC para dar a luz una nueva serie protagonizada por superhéroes, y en este caso en forma de comedia: hablamos de ‘Nuevos Guerreros’, en la que la protagonista sería Chica Ardilla, junto a otros héroes poco conocidos. El heterogéneo grupo de Nuevos Guerreros, que originalmente se componía de personajes como Estrella de Fuego, Justicia, Namorita, Night Trasher, Nova y Speedball, y que hizo acto de aparición por primera vez en 1992 en una colección de Thor, sería el foco de atención de esta serie que de momento parece que se alejará del tono oscuro de las apuestas heroicas televisivas de Netflix. Con el tiempo se les fueron uniendo más personajes, entre ellos la mutante Chica Ardilla (de nombre Doreen Green) que era coetánea a los Nuevos Guerreros Sí, su poder está relacionado con las ardillas, y consiste en su capacidad para comunicarse con ellas y darles órdenes además de contar ella misma con las habilidades de una ardilla (agilidad, y fuerza sobrehumanas, garras afiladas, olfato y reflejos mejorados…y una cola prensil). No siempre ha estado rodeada de este grupo tan poco reconocido, la verdad que Chica Ardilla se ha codeado en alguna ocasión con Iron Man, Jessica Jones y Luke Cage. The Resplendent -Noticia real enviada por nuestro amigo Eove del podcast Porque Podcast. Este verano apareció un cartel por varias calles de Madrid mezclado con los que ofrecen cursos de inglés, chapuzas a domicilio, habitaciones en pisos compartidos y clases particulares. Un tipo que se hace llamar The Resplendent se ofrece como superhéroe. “Se aceptan todo tipo de misiones”, reza el papel, que es uno de esos folios con tiras para recortarlas y llevártelas con el teléfono o el mail. “Responderé personalmente a todos los mensajes”. Viendo este anuncio lo primero que te preguntas es: ¿Esto va en serio? ¿Es una broma en plan cámara oculta y si llamo luego saldré en un reality de esos? ¿O será el proyecto de unos estudiantes de publicidad y están haciendo una prueba de como funciona el Marketing? “El 27 de julio de 2016, a las 20:00 horas, me convertí de manera oficial en The Resplendent“, confesó con solemnidad en una entrevista exclusiva con Verne de EL PAIS “Mi decisión es firme y real. No sé durante cuánto tiempo podré llevar a cabo esta labor, pero mientras porte el manto de The Resplendent todo mis actos serán completamente en serio”. Aunque The Resplendent se niega, como buen superhéroe, a revelar su identidad secreta, conseguimos sacarle algunos datos sobre su vida. “Todo lo que puedo decir sobre mí y que la máscara no puede ocultar, es que soy un gran aficionado al cine, a los cómics y a la fotografía. Por suerte tengo un trabajo que me permite tener bastante tiempo libre que he decidido invertir en esta aventura. Soy un tipo corriente con un pequeño secreto”. Efectivamente, The Resplendent es un tipo corriente: no tiene supervisión, ni superfuerza. No vuela, ni trepa edificios. Aunque os cueste creerlo, The resplendent no tiene superpoderes. Pero bueno, eso tampoco le ha impedido llegar a estar en los anales de la historia de los Superheroes, si me pongo a enumerar me salen: Tony Stark, Bruce Wayne, Oliver Queen, Natasha Romanoff. Es decir, no es necesario tener poderes. Por lo que sí está preocupado es porque le falta un ayudante y para ello ha abierto un perfil en Tinder para encontrarlo. No es la única red social en la que se pueden seguir sus aventuras. The Resplendent está en Instagram (@theresplendent_oficial) y en Facebook (Resplendent Hero). Y no ha parado de recibir peticiones desde que colgó los carteles. “Es curioso que muchos de los mensajes que me llegan no se sorprenden por el hecho de que utilice mallas y me ofrezca para realizar misiones: la desconfianza llega porque no pido compensación económica por ello”, explica. “Algunas de las preguntas más frecuentes que me hacen son: ‘¿Cuánto cobras por tus servicios?’ o ‘¿Cuáles son tus tarifas?’, lo cual me parece muy significativo”. The Resplendent ya ha llevado a cabo varias misiones, aunque de todas ellas se queda con una muy especial. “Hace unos días me escribió un chico, de alrededor de unos 25 años, contándome una serie de problemas que no expondré. Tras una pequeña charla me confesó, con gran timidez, que lo que realmente le urgía era encontrar a alguien con quien hablar. Tanto su familia como sus amigos le restaban importancia a sus preocupaciones y necesitaba una persona para desahogarse. Así que quedaré con él para hablar, escucharlo, y darle mi apoyo. Aunque pueda parecer una anécdota trivial o una misión de poca relevancia, me conmovió profundamente. ¿Qué grado de incomprensión para con su entorno, incluso de angustia, tiene que sentir un joven para ver un cartel de un tipo en pijama por la calle y contactarlo, sólo para hablar?“, se pregunta. “Si mi labor genera una pequeña reflexión, si estas líneas llevan a algún lector a ser más empático, el calor que supone ir embutido en lycra en pleno agosto en Madrid habrá valido la pena”, sentencia. Sólo queda una pregunta en el tintero. “Dices que aceptas todo tipo de misiones. ¿Y si quiero darle un escarmiento a mi exjefe?”. The Resplendent se muestra expeditivo. “A la hora de aceptar misiones tengo dos pautas básicas. Primero, que sea viable y no exceda mis posibilidades. Y segundo, que esté dentro del marco legal. Claramente, la hipótesis que planteas no cumple el segundo enunciado. En cualquier caso, The Resplendent rechaza de manera tajante cualquier tipo de violencia: agredir a alguien no sería una posibilidad. Por el momento, lo más raro que me han pedido es que limpie un horno. Y por supuesto, estoy encantado de hacerlo”. Os dejamos una entrevista que le concedió a los compañeros de La ciudad secreta. Cosplay -Un cosplay de ……… es tan increíble que ha ganado el record guinnes Esta noticia nos la pasó Otto. Cuando alguien dedica un tiempo a fabricarse un cosplay, no solo hace el disfraz en sí, además existe una interpretación, con poses movimientos e incluso frases para hacer dicho cosplay lo más parecido a la realidad posible. No hay ninguna duda que para eso es necesario disponer de tiempo libre ya que algunos cosplays pueden valorarse en mucho dinero no por el material sino que en las horas invertidas. El cosplay del que vamos a hablaros, ha ganado el record Guinnes al Récord a la mayor cantidad de gadgets funcionales en un disfraz y pertenece al irlandés Julian Checkley que tuvo la paciencia de fabricar un disfraz de Batman con todos sus gadgets funcionales, algo que lo hizo acreedor a un récord Guinness. Julian Checkley, ha trabajado como realizador de efectos visuales creando criaturas para algunas famosas películas, pero ahora quiso dedicar tiempo a un proyecto por mero pasatiempo, el cual le llevó varios meses y que al final valió la pena. Se trata de un disfraz para cosplay de Batman, donde lo curioso y le lleva a ganar el premio es que ha creado 23 dispositivos completamente funcionales que hacen de este traje el más completo a la fecha. Esto hizo que estableciera un nuevo récord Guinness a ‘la mayor cantidad de gadgets funcionales en un disfraz de cosplay’, una categoría que está siendo inaugurada con este increíble disfraz. El diseño del traje está basado en el famoso videojuego ‘Batman: Arkham Origins’. Fue impreso en 3D para después ser moldeado y fundido en caucho y poliuretano flexible. Cada pieza fue recortada, detallada y pintada a mano, donde se le dio el aspecto de sucio y desgastado. Se cuenta con 23 gadgets integrados al traje, donde la complejidad fue meter todos sin afectar el diseño y que a su vez se pudieran utilizar y volver a guardar con facilidad. El más complicado de todos fue una pistola que aturde a sus víctimas por medio de una descarga de 2.000 vatios, donde requirió la ayuda de un ingeniero eléctrico.

Created in 1992 in order to bring a little fun back into comics, Doreen Green definitely made her mark in the Marvel Universe. With all the proportional abilities of a squirrel, she may not seem very impressive, but don't make the mistake of underestimating her. Squirrel Girl's list of victories may be the most impressive in all of comics, proving that you can't judge a squirrel by it's cover. Thanks Kirby Krackle for the theme music!
