Letter Rip

[bewareofgeek]

1. Comment on this post.
2. I will give you a letter.
3. Think of 5 fictional characters whose name starts with that letter and post their names and your comments on these characters in your LJ.
wyldemusick  gave me "N."

1. Norville "Shaggy" Rogers:  Greatest of the slackers, and a gourmand of incredible proportions (I only wish I could eat the sandwiches he came up with).  Of course, speculation runs rife on exactly what was in those "Scooby Snacks".

2. Neville Longbottom.  In some ways, the real hero of the Potter books.  Not only does he (technically) win the House Cup in the first book, but while Harry mopes around in hiding, Neville survives torture and gets to be completely badass.  A much better role model, no?

3. Nick Fury:  Still a badass, after all these years. :)

4. Natalia "Natasha" Romanova, better known as the Black Widow.  Formerly a rather cliched villainess, she's lasted through various incarnations (and a certain historical implausibility) to become one of the stalwarts of the Marvel U.  She & Nick could probably headline a great espionage book under the right writer (an Ostrander, Rucka, or Priest).

5. Nyota Penda Uhura.  Another historically significant heroine, who never took any guff from anyone, except perhaps William Shatner (her role in ST V was _painful_... but hey, he was the director).

I suspect Greg's asked for SHIELD in general and Nick and/or Natasha in particular only about a hundred times thus far. Maybe sometime before 2017?

And speaking of Nyota, you saw that Bonnano-Wanderer(?) "Lost Era" novel? Looked like she was left at the end of it giving Nick a run for his money in the spymaster sweeps.

Unfortunately, rumors have the agency being given to someone truly unsuitable. Oh well.

(and no, I haven't read Trek in years.)

Let's see... I'll give you "G", for Greg. :)
