Writing my 10 Most Inhuman X-Men list the other day make me reflect on many, many X-Men, but there is one idea that I can't shake. I must come clean; I must confess. It is with heavy heart that I admit such feelings, but I feel I cannot hold it back anymore. I have to mention it.
I have to admit I hate the code name "Anole."
In fact, I can't really express how much I really hate this code name. It's like someone didn't want to think of a tired, old lizard-y name (which is great!) and so went to wikipedia and clicked on the first "unique" name on the list (which is bizarre.) In other words, its obscure to the point of being laughable. I think I remember doing some things like this when I made original super-characters for my role playing games when I was in middle school. It seemed so cool at the time, like I had a little extra knowledge and that made that particular character way more legit. I guess it's the heroic-naming equivalent of playing dress up. I couldn't help but cock my head to one side and say, in a cooing voice, "oh, you named him 'Anole,' huh? Yeah, that's … cute, I guess." And when that was just in New X-Men/Academy X or whatever the series was called, that seemed okay. But the character isn't going away, and in fact is often quite leveraged as a popular and supported character, I really wish they'd think about coming up with a new heroic name for the guy.

Okay, okay. Don't cry about it. It's not your fault.
This is such a beautiful image! Is that what you call Digital Painting? It looks stunning.

Now we have a great walkway that goes to the beach and to the canals that came from the partnership of community with government
