#anti Harold Barton

[dark-mcu-ship-tourney]

Hello!

Welcome to the Problematic MCU Ship Tournament!

This blog will pit 64 different pairings against one another. All of them are in some way “problematic”- some feature a minor and an adult, others feature incestuous pairings, others still simply have questionable or potentially abusive dynamics. Many ships combine elements of more than one.

Each day, 4 polls will be posted pitting two different ships together (for a total of 8 ships per day). You are free to vote in as many or as few of these polls as you’d like.

This blog is explicitly pro-ship and anti-censorship, and obviously features dark themes. If this is a point of discomfort for you, you are free to block this blog, I don’t bite. Hate towards anyone (and anything unreasonably rude about ships or characters) will not be published and users that send it will be blocked. Nothing explicit will be posted to this blog, regardless of the ship, so minors are free to interact if they so wish.

The bracket below shows all the ships that will be posted, as well as their first opponent. After the first round has been completed, the diagram will be updated and all of the winning ships will be pitted against one another. You can also find a typed list of all ships under the cut, for users that can’t or don’t want to read my terrible handwriting.

May the odds be ever in your (ship’s) favor!

We're approaching the end of my Justice League Canada ideas series. There's like three parts left after this one. So even though this is some of the most exhausting work ever (transcribing these things onto here), I shall persevere for my last few posts.

Issue #69: Returning to Earth following their adventures in the Anti-Matter Universe, the Justice League Canada now have to deal with Johnny Quick and Power Ring, their captives from the anti-matter earth. Realizing that these two men are probably not immediate hero material (Johnny Quick is a drug addict and Power Ring is a timid coward dominated by his ring), the league decides to keep them as guests at their ottawa headquarters.

Meanwhile, the crisis with Kronos/Saturn is beginning to intensify. It's clear that things are beginning to get troublesome, because an earthquake strikes Justice League headquarters shortly after they land back on earth. It's not quite clear what that all means, but Nubia has her suspicions…the earth itself seems to be waking. Kronos/Saturn may have awoken his mother.

But Gaea/Terra awakening is still the least of the Justice League's concerns. More important is that they return to their headquarters to find it being robbed by a ring of C-List criminals. Criminals like The Virus (making his triumphant return to this book since his last appearance back in issue #35)! And his new partner: The Amp!

The Amp was just Adrianna Andrews, a woman with adhd who got the ability to control sounds after a freak accident involving electrical equipment at a rock concert. Now she's always overwhelmed and overstimulated, and her power is the ability to make other people overwhelmed. Her voice emits the same static effect as a fuzzy tv channel, and it drives people into fits of tears and insanity.

When The Amp met The Virus in jail, it was a match made a heaven. Two people who're always in constant pain (one who's always sick, one who's always overwhelmed) teaming up to act as the world's most pitful (yet effective) robbers. And now the Justice League Canada has to deal with them.

1. Jemm, Son of Saturn

7. Nubia of Themyscira

8. Green Lantern III (Guy Gardner)

Additional Members/Guests:

9. Johnny Quick (Barton Allen)

10. Power Ring (Harold Jordan)

Issue #70: This story picks up about a week after the events of issue #69. After finally having some time to rest, the league's gonna finally try to look into why Johnny Quick has gone catatonic and why Power Ring seems to be losing his grip on sanity. Green Lantern's power ring (alongside willow's empathic nature) manages to pinpoint that that it's Power Ring's ring that's actually causing all the problems.

Calling on Aqsarniit to help them (and with The Phantom Stranger helpfully materializing to help too), they try to drive the ring of volthoom off of harold's finger. Although they succeed, the ring was so powerful that it blew a hole right through the justice league's headquarters and flew off for parts unknown.

And a call to Blue Beetle means he comes back to the team, to help Vic Sage and Booster Gold try and figure out johnny quick's problems. Those three manage to figure out that he got all of his powers from his speed juice drug. But since the drug doesn't work here on the positive matter earth, his body has gone into catatonic shock. Unless they can cure him within a few days, he will die.

Realizing that the team needs to split up so that they can help both johnny quick wake from his coma and find the ring of volthoom before it finds a new host, the team splits into two groups.

ACESSANDO ARQUIVOS...

Resultado da busca em arquivos da S.H.I.E.L.D: CLINTON FRANCIS BARTON possui 35 anos e atua como ANTI-HERÓI, sendo mais conhecido como GAVIÃO ARQUEIRO. É um HUMANO e é conhecido por ser CONFIANTE E LEAL, mas também é certamente RESERVADO E COMPETITIVO portanto não o provoque. (theo james, ele/dele, heterossexual).

muse concorda ou discorda dos acordos iniciados pela shield? (lembre-se que heróis e vilões estão sendo catalogados e vigiados pela organização) 

clint entende que é preciso alguma ação do tipo para manter certo nível de equilíbrio na sociedade, contudo é impossível ignorar o quão autoritário isso faz com que a shield se torne.

                                            TW: violência doméstica, alcoolismo. 

EM UM UNIVERSO MUITO DISTANTE , Clint Barton era filho de Harold e Edith Barton. Ele cresceu trabalhando no açougue de seu pai em Waverly, Iowa, com seu irmão mais velho, Barney. Seu pai era abusivo, sobretudo quando bebia, e batia continuamente nos rapazes. Barney ensinou a Clint como lutar e ajudou-o a melhorar sua mira. O alcoolismo de Harold acabou lhe custando a própria vida, junto à de sua esposa, quando ambos morreram em um acidente de carro. Clint e Barney foram enviados para inúmeros lares adotivos; enquanto fugiam de um deles, os irmãos encontraram e ingressaram em um circo itinerante, onde trabalharam como faz-tudos. Enquanto membro do circo, Clint foi treinado por membros, estes que, ais tarde, Clint encontrou desviando dinheiro do circo. Antes que pudesse entregar eles às autoridades, Clint foi espancado e deixado para morrer. A partir daí, Clint adaptou suas habilidades com o arco para se tornar uma atração circense, um arqueiro mestre chamado "Gavião Arqueiro", também conhecido como o "Maior Atirador do Mundo". Porém, ao testemunhar o Homem de Ferro em ação, Barton tentou imitá-lo vestindo um traje colorido e empregando suas habilidades de tiro com arco para combater o crime. 

NESSE UNIVERSO, Clint também precisou lidar com país abusivos em todos os sentidos. Contudo, todos faziam parte de um circo e, além das surras levadas devido ao abuso da bebida, apanhava também devido a rigidez de seu pai no treinamento. Clint acabou se tornando o melhor entre eles nas habilidades buscadas pelo circo, substituindo o pai logo cedo em suas atrações, o que só o tornou mais irritadiço e, assim, foi espancado uma última vez, visto que mais tarde ambos, pai e mãe, viriam a sofrer um acidente. Barney, contudo, não existe nesse universo. Desde então, Clint vem se aperfeiçoando e inspirado pela grande gama de heróis, foi atrás de fazer o bem pelo mundo. Isso, claro, não fosse o fato de ser confundido e ser tido como uma assaltante. Surge daí e de toda sua infância a sua raiva por autoridades.

HAUNCH, PAUNCH, AND JOWL

You probably can't call screenwriter Samuel Ornitz one of the stars of the Hollywood Ten. His name doesn't resonate like, say, fellow blacklisters Dalton Trumbo's or Ring Lardner Jr.'s do. Most of his films are now forgotten. Before he went to Hollywood, though, he wrote a semi-autobiographical novel that's still read for its marvelous details on the lives of Lower East Side Jews at the turn of the twentieth century.

Ornitz was born there to Polish immigrants in 1890. His family wasn't poor, like so many others in the neighborhood. His father ran a successful dry goods business. Ornitz's older brothers went to work for their dad, but Samuel rebelled and went into social activism. As a young man he worked for the Prison Association and spent much time in the notorious Tombs. He later worked for the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children as assistant superintendent.

Meanwhile he was writing. His first novel Haunch, Paunch and Jowl was published in 1923 as "an anonymous autobiography." Meyer Hirsch, the narrator, is a Lower East Side Jew who claws his way to wealth and power by any means necessary. Early chapters are rich with details of growing up on the streets at the end of the 1800s; the second half of the book is a pretty hard look at the corruption and graft that riddled city politics in the early twentieth century.

The story starts when Meyer is nine and jockeying for status among the other Jewish boys in the Ludlow Street Gang. They do a lot of fighting with a rival Jewish gang, the Essex Street Guerrillas. Both sides team up to fight the Irish kids, using fists, sticks, brickbats and stones. They disrupt local business, breaking shop windows and overturning sidewalk stalls, but the cops don't get involved -- it's just Sheenies versus Micks. The Jewish boys' nickname for a cop is Shammos, Yiddish for a synagogue caretaker. By the 1920s Shamus, as it was usually spelled, would be familiar slang for a cop or private detective, found everywhere in noir literature and films -- Bogart's Philip Marlowe refers to himself as a shamus a few times in The Big Sleep. It's not clear whether that derived from Shammos or from the Irish name Seamus, given that so many New York cops and detectives were Irish. Probably it was a confluence of the two.

As they get a little older the boys prowl the Bowery, which Ornitz describes as a "succession of saloons, bedhouses, two-cent coffee places, second-hand clothing stores, oyster stands, rescue missions, and second-hand shoe cellars... Underfoot it is slippery with chew-tobacco juice. Everybody is busy spitting. The old-timers, the right-at-home bums sun themselves in the doorways of lodging houses and at the corners. Panhandlers look for live ones. Fake cripples and blind men, offering pencils or shoe laces, whine for pennies. One drunk mutters, another speechifies, one sings or curses, and another lies prone in everybody's way and nobody pays him the least notice. Sailors, stevedores, oilers, stokers, firemen, hobos and street walkers crowd the sidewalks. Country boys, threadbare and hungry-eyed, fortune seekers stranded in the big city, and tired-looking, jobless men from everywhere, wander in this land of the down and out... Here is the city's back-wash of sewerage..."

Like Irving Berlin, another Jewish kid on the Lower East Side at the same time, Meyer and his teenage pals earn small change busking and serving as singing waiters in the concert saloons that infested the Bowery and Chinatown. Ornitz's kids work in one joint where the young Berlin actually sang: Scotchy Lavelle's saloon and dance hall at 14 Doyers Street. Lavelle was a famous hoodlum who had run with Patsy Conroy's gang of waterfront thieves in the 1860s and 1870s. Ornitz changes Scotchy's name to Frenchie, but otherwise gives us a documentary look inside the joint. A piano player -- Piano O'Brien in the novel -- accompanied the waiters on the keys as they belted out ballads, romantic tearjerkers currently popular on the street, and ragtime tunes. Ornitz writes:

'The art of a singing waiter is in a class by itself. It consists of carrying a song over a multitude of busy doings, remarks, orders, servings, making change and cleaning tables, all done during the song. Occasionally you interrupt the song to sing out the order, and then you must immediately take up the last word and note where you left off... During the heartrending moments of the piece you may have to make change for a two-dollar bill and reckon up the amount due, put down the change, receive your tip, move to the next table, mop its surface dry, remove empty glasses on a tray, call at the little door for your ordered drinks, pass out the right brass tags for the checker, show people to the tables, smile to known frequenters, laugh at a friendly gibe and stoop to pick up a coin thrown as a compliment to your vocal efforts."

Bowery and Chinatown dives drew an extraordinarily wide range of customers and looky-lous, from bums to toffs; even European royalty included a descent to the area on their New York itineraries. Ornitz:

"The East Side and West Side, uptown and downtown, drift in, singly, and in merry batches... curious lads, feeling adventurously grown up... young men with cigarettes dangling from their lips, careless-mannered, desperately affecting the nonchalance of rakes... little cliques of married men, thrillingly frisky and wicked with the matrimonial yoke cast off for a night... old men seeking youth at the fountain of folly... clean-faced college boys furiously living 'the life' ... swaggering gunmen, guerrillas and gangsters who five the place a tone... chummy groups of sailor boys and marines after a long practice cruise with faces as free and fresh as the open sea, consciously on a hell-raising shore leave... race track hangers-on and touts and jockeys in loud-patterned clothes... pimps aflash with jewelry and nobby clothes... puffed up one-horse politicians... cheap gamblers, loaded dice and cold deck artists...sneak thieves, hold-up and second-story men... husky yeggs... roving panhandlers... steerers to gambling and bawdy houses... flitting, temperamental fairies, the queer effeminate men... slumming parties, distinguished by their full dress... a world of men."

Then there were the prostitutes who "wind in and out of the table spaces like a garland of strangely strung and varied flowers... rumpled and faded, soiled and drooping with rough handling."

While some of Meyer's pals graduate to burglary and "the dreaded House of Refuge on Randall's Island," the first juvenile reformatory in the country when it opened in the 1820s, he goes to City College, the immigrants' school, "the rusty old chapel on Twenty-Third Street; vine-covered, with an air of scholarly detachment; of cloister quiet and dignity." He becomes what he calls a "Professional Jew," a lawyer and Tammany fixer, wooing the Jews away from the Socialists, organizing the pushcart men, working crooked deals in the courts and with the union bosses, sinking farther and farther into graft and greed, and growing fatter and fatter on the proceeds. Meyer sees himself as representative of his generation of ambitious young men:

"It did not take them long to see that the straight and narrow path was long and tortuous and ended in a blind alley... Politics stank of corruption and chicanery. Big business set even a worse example. Daily the people were treated to scandal after scandal in commerce, industry and government... The order of the day was -- PLAY THE GAME AS YOU SEE IT PLAYED... It was a sordid generation, a generation creeping out of the mud into the murk... It was the time and process of finding ourselves, a sort of evolutionary process that began as a creeping thing in the scum... I had taken root in the morass; I didn't dare try transplantation."

In time Meyer becomes a Superior Court judge and lives uptown on Riverside Drive, which he calls Allrightniks Row. Allrightniks is his term for Jews who'd made it, "who came in as impoverished immigrants" and "were made dizzy and giddy by sudden riches."

In 1929 Ornitz joined the droves of New York writers who headed out to Hollywood. After sound was added to commercial films in the late 1920s, the studios developed a ravenous hunger for people who could write to the new medium. The Coen Brothers' Barton Fink is a cartoon of the Ornitz generation of New York Jewish writers who went out to Tinseltown with their lefty ideals and social-realist scripts in their suitcases. Ornitz seems never to have fully committed himself to the studios, and never made it big there. He worked on a lot of B pictures. Even when it was a B for RKO or Republic, he tried to work a message in. His first movie, The Case of Lena Smith -- he wrote the story but not the screenplay -- reflected the injustices Ornitz had seen at the Tombs. Josef von Sternberg directed. Hell's Highway is about the mistreatment of a prison chain gang. In The Hit Parade, an ex-convict who jumped bail (Frances Langford) tries to hide her past when she makes it as a singer. Ornitz collaborated on some scripts with Nathanael West, and was one of the small army of writers who contributed to the 1934 adaptation of Fannie Hurst's novel about race relations, Imitation of Life.

In maybe his oddest Hollywood assignment, Ornitz and another New York transplant, Budd Schulberg (best known for On the Waterfront), wrote a 1938 Paramount adaptation of Little Orphan Annie. What we know now as a sickly-sweet musical was in the 1930s an extremely controversial comic strip. Cartoonist Harold Gray was a staunch Republican who hated FDR and built a lot of anti-union and anti-New Deal messages into his strip, outraging liberals. The New Republic denounced the strip in 1935 as "fascism in the funnies." Predictably, Ornitz and Schulberg turned Gray's politics upside-down in a version that was more class struggle than comic strip.

In 1933 Ornitz and two other future blacklisters, Lester Cole (nee Cohn, another son of Jewish Polish immigrants, who grew up in the Bronx and elsewhere) and John Howard Lawson (nee Levy, from a wealthy family in Yonkers), helped found the Screen Writers Guild. The three of them were among Hollywood's most outspoken members of or fellow travelers with the Communist Party in the 1930s. Lawson headed the party's Hollywood branch and would later be accused of leaning heavily on other screenwriters to pack as many lefty ideals into their movies as they could get away with.

In the Red Scare that swept up Hollywood after World War Two, they, along with Trumbo, Lardner and five others, refused to testify before HUAC. One of them, director Edward Dmytryk, later caved and named names, including Lawson's. They came to be known as the Hollywood Ten. They were all found guilty of contempt of Congress and drew prison terms of up to a year. Unlike Trumbo (Spartacus), Lawson (Cry, the Beloved Country) and Cole (Born Free), Ornitz never wrote a screenplay after that. He did write another novel about Jews in America, Bride of the Sabbath, and died in L.A. in 1957.

Justice League Canada annual #3: Set in between Issues #68 and #69 of the main justice league canada comic. The Justice League Canada have found themselves trapped in the Anti-Matter Universe. In the preceding few issues, they've escaped from qward and successfully fought off the insane conqueror Annihilus. But now they're proceeding towards the reverse earth of this anti-matter cosmos.

Hoping that they'll finally be able to find their way back to earth from htrae. But before they even have time to search, they find that this planet really is the negative image of earth. It's ruled over by a dictatorial body known as the Crime Syndicate, a body that doesn't take kindly to positive matter beings barging in on their territory. So the Justice League Canada splits up to search for ways back to earth, and they only end up being confronted by the seven members of the crime syndicate.

So the Justice League Canada ends up fighting the Crime Syndicate, an evil parallel to the founding seven members of the Justice League of America way back when. And during the fight, some interesting things occur. But I'll cover that during the segments on the fights themselves.

But in any event, the Justice League Canada successfully manage to subdue the Crime Syndicate. And after defeating them, they finally realize a portal back to earth is hidden on the reverse earth's moon. So while the Crime Syndicate is distracted, the league goes to the moon and take a portal back to earth's moon on the positive matter universe.

But in related bad news: Johnny Quick and Power Ring have followed the Justice League back through the portal. Since they're some of the weakest members of the Crime Syndicate though, the Justice League Canada quickly defeat them and take them to their base in ottawa. There, they'll be under constant supervision. But they will be sort of like members of the Justice League Canada now, I guess.

Meanwhile, the Anti-Monitor and the Monitor have both witnessed these events. And while the Anti-Monitor is actually content with this result (seeing it as a possible first step towards the people of the positive matter world respecting the people of his Anti-Matter Universe), the Monitor sees it as an offense to everything right about the universe. So a new Crisis is brewing, and if the ever expanding portal on earth's moon is any indication, things are going to heat up really soon…

Justice League Canada members:

1. Jemm, Son of Saturn

2. The Question (Vic Sage)

3. William Nielsen

4. Willow/Mantis

5. The Admiral (Sam Heartsea)

6. Booster Gold (Michael Jon Carter)

7. Nubia of Themyscira

8. Green Lantern III (Guy Gardner)

The Crime Syndicate members:

1. Ultraman (Lor-Zod/Kent Clarkson)

2. Owlman (Thomas Wayne Jr.)

3. Superwoman (Bellona of Themyscira/Priscilla Rich)

4. Johnny Quick (Barton Allen)

5. Power Ring I (Harold Jordan)

6. Aresian Barbarian (J'edd J'arkus)

7. Sea King (Alistair Curry)

Battles:

1. Ultraman vs William Nielsen and Willow/Mantis: This is the one fight I think nobody would win. Because Ultraman is a kryptonian, and he's weak to very few things. William and Willow have a lot of strength and skill (certainly enough to hold their ground), but I don't think they have skill enough to defeat Ultraman completely. So I see this one as a very intense fight, but also as a fight that could only end in a tie.

2. Owlman vs The Question: Owlman and The Question are both skilled detectives with plenty of tech to guide them. But Owlman never grew up wanting to be a supervillian. Vic Sage always grew up wanting to be a journalist. In fact, because he's such a skilled investigative journalist, The Question manages to deduce who Owlman is and why he does what he does, all within hours of their first fight. And after that, he begins using his knowledge of Thomas Wayne Jr to get under his skin. He breaks through to the sad ten year old boy inside. He makes Owlman doubt himself. And then he manages to escape back to the positive matter earth with the rest of the league. Because that's the power of The Question.

3. Superwoman vs Nubia: Superwoman is a misandrous slaver who hates practically everyone and everything. Despite this, she's an incredibly skilled warrior. Trained by Circe and by other evil warriors, bellona of themyscira really inherited the gifts of her namesake. Bellona is a goddess renowned for her bloodlust in combat, and superwoman displays that exact same mania and frenzy when she fights, too. But since Nubia is a dignified warrior and positive matter amazon, trained in the finest ways of combat by Mars, this fight would be intense. I can picture some really cool art here.

4. Johnny Quick vs Booster Gold: Johnny Quick and Booster Gold are both very funny characters. Johnny Quick derives all his power from the speed juice constantly coursing through his veins, while Booster Gold gets most of his strength from the tech Kord Industries supplies him with. It'd be a pretty tough fight, but I think Booster could win simply by cutting off johnny's access to his speed juice.

5. Power Ring I (Harold Jordan) vs Green Lantern III (Guy Gardner): Guy Gardner controls his ring using his strong willpower. Harold Jordan lets the ring of volthoom control him, because he's a nervous wreck who has almost no willpower of his own. Besides, volthoom has been consuming what little willpower he does have for years now. Power Ring has a constant fever because of volthoom absorbing his energy, so he'd be a really easy target for Guy Gardner.

6. The Aresian Barbarian vs Jemm, Son of Saturn: J'edd is a barbarian who was trained by ares and his fellow anti-matter aresians to kill anything that moves, to feast on their flesh and bathe in their blood. Meanwhile, J'emm is a proud emperor of the Solar Federation. Born the child of a martian and a saturnian, he was raised a prince and a warrior in the fine saturnian tradition. This would be a fierce battle, and it's hard to predict a winner off the top of my head.

7. The Admiral vs The Sea King: Sam Heartsea is a hydrokinetic demigod, with ancestry tying him to Poseidon, to Dionysus and to the ancient celtic gods. Alistair Curry is just a violent man with a harpoon for a hand who has gills and a telepathic control over fish. Sure, the fight might be narrow. But I can only see Sam winning this fight.
