Yeah, that's addressed in the article I posted. The 'Joker' image was Conrad Veidt as Gwynplaine, The Man Who Laughs, though.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Cute story about Batman from yesterday. I was sitting with my three and nine-year-old nieces. I asked them what their favorite superheroes were respectively. The youngest said Batgirl. The oldest said Supergirl. Then, the little one says, "If you Batgirl, Freeze make you cold." I don't know. I thought it was the cutest thing ever, but I'm SUPER biased.

No, it's good to get corroboration. Wink

Technically every superhero that exists is a copy of the hero's of greek mythology .

This is true as regards fictitious superheroes, and so does not apply to Doc Savage. 

Fair warning: if you attempt to convince me that Doc Savage is a fictional character, I will come to your house and blow my nose on every curtain in the place.

Did you know that Tizheruk's girlfriend is on the verge of either new curtains or a hellacious dry cleaning bill?

Indeed new curtains she will weave from the flesh of the person who messed her old ones up. Or cleaning carried out by using said persons face .  Tongue  (and yes that is humour )
