Daredevil and the Ani-Men Were Sent Back to Prison (See Daredevil) ANI-MEN Villain Team The Ani-Men are an organization of superhuman criminals who each have an animal theme to their identities and powers. While they have operated on their own from time to time, the Ani-Men appear to be content to hire themselves out as superhuman muscle for other criminals. The Ani-Men were all serving prison sentences for various crimes when they were given the option of undergoing scientific experiments in exchange for early parole. This experimentation was performed for the benefit of Wilson Fisk, the self-proclaimed Kingpin of Crime, although the test subjects were never informed who was funding the lab (see Kingpin). Upon discovering that the experiments were to be APE-MAN BIRD-MAN (Gordon Keefer) (Henry Hawk) "terminated" and the test subjects "disposed of", the five test subjects Founding Member Founding Member broke free and escaped the lab to discover themselves underneath Hell's Kitchen. At first, the Ani-Men tried to take over one of the gangs in Hell's Kitchen, but this was foiled by Daredevil and the Ani-Men were sent back to prison (see Daredevil). Some time later, the Ani-Men had either escaped or were freed from prison to become employees of the superhuman criminal called the Owl in his attempt to unseat the Kingpin (see Owl). During this altercation, they came into conflict with both Daredevil and the Kingpin's newest enforcer, Elektra, but escaped (see Elektra).

Dragonfly – Founding member. Dragonfly has also been seen operating solo from time to time. FROG-MAN (Francois LeBlanc) Frog-Man – Founding member. Founding Member APE-MAN Villain Real Name: Gordon Keefer Occupation: Former construction worker, now professional criminal. Identity: Known to the authorities. Legal Status: Citizen of the United Stated with a criminal record. Other Aliases: None. Place of Birth: Unrevealed. Marital Status: Divorced. Known Relatives: Ex-wife and daughter (names unrevealed). Group Affiliation: Ani-Men. Base of Operations: New York City. First Post-Reboot Appearance: DAREDEVIL: THE MAN WITHOUT FEAR # History: Gordon Keefer was a former construction worker who had shot his site foreman in the chest with a shotgun in a fit of anger after his wife walked out on him, taking their thirteen year old daughter with her. (It was implied that Keefer already had a fierce temper at home, striking both his wife and child on numerous occasions.) He was sentenced to twenty years in prison, and would have stayed there most of that time if fate had not intervened. Keefer was approached by one of the lawyers on the payroll of Wilson Fisk, the Kingpin of Crime, with an option to decrease his jail time in exchange for undergoing several scientific experiments (see Kingpin). Keefer decided he had nothing left to lose and agreed. The Kingpin's scientists were studying possible ways to give people superhuman abilities, and injected a number of test subjects with genetic retroviruses developed from animal DNA. Keefer's injections contained DNA culled from a number of apes, specifically gorillas, chimpanzees, and gibbons. Calling himself Ape-Man, Keefer joined with four other test subjects in escaping the lab, discovering themselves in the sewers underneath Hell's Kitchen. Ape-Man and his companions – Bird-Man, Cat-Man, Dragonfly, and Frog-Man – named their group the Ani-Men and decided to try and take over one of the gangs in the Kitchen (see individual entries). They were foiled by the costumed vigilante Daredevil in this endeavor and were sent to prison (see Daredevil). Some months later, the Ani-Men had either escaped or were freed from prison, and were hired by the criminal businessman Leland Owlsey, alias the Owl (see Owl). Under the Owl's direction, Ape-Man and the other Ani-Men engaged in attacks on the Kingpin's businesses (Ape-Man and the other Ani-Men are unaware that the scientists who originally mutated them were in the Kingpin's employ), but were again foiled by Daredevil as well as the Kingpin's newest enforcer, Elektra (see Elektra). The Ani-Men managed to avoid capture by the authorities, and are still at large. Height: 6' 5". Weight: 325 lbs. Eyes: Brown. Hair: Brown. Other Distinctive Features: Ape-Man's body is covered in a coat of brown fur. Uniform: Sleeveless yellow shirt, yellow shorts, yellow gloves, yellow boots, gold belt. Strength Level: Ape-Man possesses enhanced strength, enabling him to lift (press) around 1,500 pounds under optimum conditions. Known Superhuman Powers: Ape-Man has been said to possess the strength, speed, and agility of a great ape. This is somewhat misleading, however. Thanks to experimental genetic reengineering, Ape-Man possesses features of several apes: the strength of a large gorilla, the reaction time of a chimpanzee, and the speed and agility of a gibbon. (Strictly speaking, the family of great apes includes orangutans, bonobos, chimpanzees, gorillas, and humans; the several species of gibbons are considered lesser apes.) In addition to these, his skin is covered in a thick coat of fur, and his ears are able to hear ultrasonic frequencies. 430 points ST: 20/35 [100*] HP: 20 [0] Speed: 7.50 [0] DX: 16 [120] Will: 10 [0] Move: 7 [0] IQ: 10 [0] Per: 12 [10] HT: 14 [40] FP: 14 [0] SM: 0 Dmg: 2d-1/3d+2 (4d-1/6d+1) BL: 80 lbs.

  • WITHOUT FEAR OR FAVOR by Bob Morrill
    WITHOUT FEAR OR FAVOR by Bob Morrill Bob Morrill 1 A Sunday in July Chapter 1 M.V. Owaissa Piscataqua River Portsmouth, New Hampshire “Tony, I told you I‟d do it myself,” my wife Jennifer hissed. “Okay, okay, I was only trying to help,” I whispered back. We were spectacle enough without starting an argument, especially one that I was sure to lose. I had accidentally pushed the right wheel of Jen‟s wheelchair off the gangway to the M.V. Owaissa. An excursion boat, the Owaissa was already half full of sightseers. The other half, blocked by Jen‟s wheelchair, were lined up behind us. The gangway had only a slight incline and Jen could have easily propelled herself up it. But I had insisted on pushing her— with predictable results. Rather than watching where I was wheeling her, I had been looking up at the head of the gangway, trying to catch the attention of my niece Lexie, Owaissa‟s first mate and ticket-taker. When Lexie spotted us, her broad grin triggered an involuntary reflex, and waving back, I had steered Jen‟s chair off the gangway. Only a knee-high guardrail prevented her from nose- diving onto the dock below. I wrestled with her chair. “Hold still!” “I am!” The bottom of her right wheel hung over the edge of the gangway. Yet when I pulled it up, the rail, which had saved Jen a moment ago, trapped the top of the wheel. The harder I pulled, the tighter the gangway gripped, like some stupid Chinese fingercuff.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Texas A&M Repository NERDS OF COLOR ASSEMBLE: THE ROLE OF RACE AND ETHNCITY IN FANDOM A Thesis by SIMON SEBASTIAH WILLIAMS Submitted to the Office of Graduate Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Approved by: Co-chairs of Committee, Sarah Gatson Joseph Jewell Committee Member, Corliss Outley Head of Department, Jane Sell December 2012 Major Subject: Sociology Copyright 2012 Simon Sebastiah Williams ABSTRACT With shows such as Big Bang Theory and the increased mainstreaming of San Diego Comic-con, now more than ever before, it is acceptable to be a “nerd”. The question now becomes what efforts are being made to appeal to fans of color in traditional “nerd” activities, specifically comic books (this can include television shows and movies based on comic book characters), anime, and science fiction. Throughout the decades, there have been various attempts to have a discourse about the lack of diversity in nerd culture, both among its creators and characters from various properties considered beloved to nerds. Only, at the time of this writing, in recent years does there seem to be an increase among fans of color discussing these issues in the world at large, and not just in their own social group(s). This research will discover how minority fans feel about representation, or lack thereof, in the three above fandom. It will examine how minority fans feel about specific instants involving race and ethnicity in fandom from the past year.
