I have to apologize ahead to
and to other guys who thinks these bio about lesser CBM character is unimportant. I also would like to extend my appreciation to you guys for continuously taking a peek on these write-ups. I do agree that its better that I concentrate my writing on more famous/familiar characters but unfortunately I started these fansite to deliver some small insights on "CBM" characters and unfortunately for me these lesser known guys do fit that criteria. I'm running through Captain America characters because it is the most relevant as of the moment, and this is the only time that mainstream/non-comicbook fans (or even regular comicbook fans) will encounter these characters. Its good that they will know that the characters has roots in the comics. Who knows maybe these throw-away characters now may become A-listers someday, and many characters do start as unknowns. I think its my job (or curse) as a geek to share the story of these characters. Like most geek I have that sickness of being a completist and my aim is to catalog all the DC/Marvel character who has in one point been adapted to live media (Yup! Like Batman I have an unattainable dream). Again my deepest regrets to those who find my articles bothersome. I give you my biggest respect. Message to the CBM community:
To those who are making requests, check first [here] because I might have done an article on the character already. If I have not, please be patient, I will get on it as soon as possible (but consider the fact that I spend hours writing one of these articles). Try to limit your request to characters that already have been adapted to live media, so that the feature will at least be relevant to the site – Comic Book Movie(though I include TV characters). Characters in Manga or Anime’, I am not particularly familiar of, I am not discounting these characters but it will probably take some time before I write a feature on them because I have to read up on these characters. Thank you for reading these articles! If there are errors on the feature article above, blame it on my age, humanity and ignorance. Just be sure to check the comment section for the corrections, any error I made will surely be pointed out and corrected by much bigger geeks (because there will always be a bigger geek out there). -This has been PollMaster inviting you to the geekside. MABUHAY CBM and Godspeed!
