Storm Shadow because I was really into the G.I. Joe brand being an 80s child. I always liked how even though he was a ninja he wore all white, while Snake Eyes was the opposite in all black. I somewhat fancy myself as a comic ninja. I thought it would be cool to represent myself as a character on the boards so it would be more identifiable. Little did I know I would meet so many folks on here and Instagram in real life that I'm actually called Storm Shadow or Storm in person. I'm ok with that. :takeit:

Current avatar is from the IDW comics. Although I'm contemplating changing it to something Punisher

Spidey - cuz I love him

62 - my birth year (it's hard to find common names without some kind of differentiator these days), and I messed up with the space. 

Avatar - from a sketch card I have,  drawn by Jim Cheung

My current Avatar is from an Archie Comics pinup that my sister got me. She  knew Dan DeCarlo a little bit and he was tickled when she told him that I named my daughter Veronica, so he signed the pinup page artwork to her and I.

My forum name, which I also use for all but the metal detecting forums I go to, is from my main three things I collect, my three C's, Comics, Coins, and Cars. In trying to remember I think I collected comics first, then coins. Cars I did not get into until my adult life. Nowadays I don't know if I really qualify as a car collector as I do not have that many, just my 1969 Camaro, and I still have my dad's 1931 Ford sitting in the barn.

Punk rock! Rebellion! Freedom! 

I picked the same username I used in high school (when it was slightly more relevant) and honestly I wish i would’ve picked some comic book related. I think when I signed up I was in a hurry because I really wanted to post something so just picked what I already knew. :headbang:

I just changed my avatar. The new Mister Miracle is fantastic.

Lucky is the name of my dog.  In Indonesian, baru means new.  He was our new dog over a decade ago.

The avatar is Packy.  He's from an animated movie/series Cat_____1.  I can't type out the whole name because of forum rules.  The character first appeared in a Japanese comic called Apocalypse Meow.
