Marvel's very own "Man From Atlantis" #2, so it's not just a random pop-culture reference, it's also a cleverly bit of corporate synergy.<br /><br />Does that work out to bonus points, or a severe deduction?Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06382811944483828955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-14425952905095055822015-06-09T16:47:12.015-03:002015-06-09T16:47:12.015-03:00Hell is paved with good intentions.

But c'mon--college graduate (yes, I know, football scholarship, but still), and the guy's a pilot (and astronaut!!).

He's gruff, not dumb.snellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06181997862745538999noreply@blogger.com
