Racing to Obscurity

Daddy Long Legs, known originally by his birth name of Ramsey Kole, wanted to be a dancer but was too short. To fix this, well, shortcoming, Kole approaches Bill Foster, the hero who must have been created in the 70's because he's also known as Black Goliath. Dr. Foster refuses to help the short dancer, so Kole attacks him from behind and steals the ingredients for the scientist's growth formula. Unfortunately, the homegrown brew is not as effective as the original formula and Kole's extremities are elongated to frightening proportions. Unfazed, the newly christened Daddy Long Legs takes over a theater to have an audience to dance for. Unfortunately, the audience is unappreciative of his talents and he vows revenge. Enter Spider Woman, who takes the goofy mort down pretty easily.

Okay, for the record, what does it say about Bill Foster as a super hero that after being embarrased by some short guy whose whole dream in life is to be a dancer, he has to call in Spider Woman to make the save? Wow, Clone Thor ain't looking so cruel no more, is he?

To stem off comments by those of you who might say this in a less PC way, yes the new mort is another African American. I should hold onto these until February and have an African American History Month countdown, but that just isn't going to happen. By the way, today's Mort apparently died in a comic last week, but he is so mort-y that it wasn't even publicized.
