Life is vexatiously cluttered with obstacles and challenges‚ however‚ the way we undertake and overcome these challenges ultimately define us. Ben. E King’s “Stand by me” perfectly summarizes this. Although many may view this as a romantic song‚ I see it as motivational and expresses a message applicable in everything I do.

There is a character who is really like no other in the world of comic book villains. It would be hard for a person to actually find a character who is this deep and this disturbed in the world of comic book villains. The mind that concocted him‚ Jerry Robinson‚ must have been a very twisted person indeed.
