An Electrifying Mort

Adrian Chase was the Vigilante in the mid 80's, the DC version of the popular Marvel anti-hero The Punisher (although, to be fair, Adrian spent most of his series demonstrating non-lethal tactics to subdue his opponents). Another difference between the Vigilante and the Punisher is that Adrian Chase constantly struggled with the morality of his violent tactics, a struggle that ultimately led to Chase committing suicide out of regret for his mistakes. So long story short, don't kill out of revenge or it will come back to bite you in the end.

Over my relaxing spring break, I reread Crisis on Infinite Earths, the first great maxi-series in comic book history, a series which features just about as many super-folk as you can fit into 200 pages. My new mort is one of the obscure characters from this series. Enjoy!
