    Great for when you want to dress relatively smartly.

        The campaign, website and all the characters were created by Nicolas De Santis of the consulting firm Twelve Stars Corporate Vision Strategists for the EU.[1] Twelve Stars was already working for the EU in various projects, including with the European Parliament.
        Can you guess what is the largest single concern in this childrens' comic?
        The major foe of the organisation is Dr. D. Vider (full name: David Viderius), a "ruthless speculator" and "former financier" who hopes to divide the European Union so that he can more easily conquer it.

            There were several European superheroes in D.C.'s Global Guardians. Mostly, they were crap.

                    Godiva (the British one) uses her hair as a super weapon.

                    Only the hair on her head though. No underarm fu or landing strip savate...

                    The blonde Dane is aquatic. Yes, it's a (Danish) Little Mermaid...

                    Obviously not a terribly productive day for D.C.'s writers imaginations when the Global Guardians were created. The newer version (The Ultramarine Corps) has slightly more creativity in the mix... but a definite Image/Wildstorm feel.

                      I was going to mention Asteric, but someone beat me to it.

                        The one with the horns, is he Greek? The flying guy with the red dot on his chest, Japanese? The guy in the blue suit, Chinese? The Viking, Norwegian? Is that the Phantom in the back ground? Then there are 2 more Africans. Who are the flying lady and the guy with the golden fish scales?

                          With the ram's head, yup.

                          The flying guy with the red dot on his chest, Japanese?
                          A hole in one sir.

                          The guy in the blue suit, Chinese?
                          Thunderlord of Taiwan .

                          Is that the Phantom in the back ground?
                          The Irish contingent: a poor farmer who was granted a magic lantern by an Irish fairy. Could have been worse- could have been a leprechaun...

                          Then there are 2 more Africans.
                          Impala from the R.S.A. -

                          M'Bulaze : A Zulu warrior who was politically minded.
                          Doesn't mention if it was Inkatha or A.N.C. . Still, at least he wasn't called 'Black Impala ! '....

                          and:

                          Doctor Mist , Nommo of Kor, Africa: an ancient African sorcerer who served as the leader of the Global Guardians
                          The viking looky likey is actually German.

                          Who are the flying lady and the guy with the golden fish scales?
                          Owlwoman is an Oklahoman Cherokee and the pistol packer is a Venezuelan.


                          Originally funded by the U.N. and comprised of super-heroes from across the globe rather than the U.S. -centric Justice League, the Global Guardians represent true diversity on a rapidly shrinking planet.

                              Back in the 1980s my dad managed to find a way to borrow books written in french and english from the local library without the party cultural komissar knowing about it. I got to read many french comics, among others Asterix and this guy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superdupont .
                              The monkeys are listening.

                                This is really ****ed up.
                                Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”
                                The world, in the last three hundred years, has not changed except in that sense.
                                The simple suggestion of a true change scandalizes and terrifies modern man. -Nicolás Gómez Dávila
