Captain Canuck

[Nemesis 0]

 

 

Captian Canuck, whose adventures were set in the future – the 1990s! – when Canada has become a superpower, was an agent for the Canadian International Security Organization (CISO). Among the CISO agents who worked with him was Kébec, the first of several French-Canadian associate heroes (or sidekicks) who have appeared in English-Canadian comics.

Ahh! Capitan Canuck! The real Canadian hero! I remember hearing about him in French class in school. Truly a guy we Canucks can truly lookup to. :) I'd be a happy man if I could be able to find some of those old comics. :(

The question is...do the Canadians do anything original? :(

Grom could you keep your insults of my nation to yourself, you don't like it when people do it about your's so stop doing them about mine. This was meant to be humourous little tidbit I found of my country's history. I'll also have you know Captian America came from the notion of Superman, which was a Canadian invention.

Hey come on now! That's a low blow! Nem is right that Capitan America was inspired by Superman -- created by a Canadian in 1938. Just because this comic isn't original doesn't mean we Canadians hadn't made anything of merit. The world owes alot of it's inventions to Canada, such as the zipper, velcro, the snowmobile, shoeshoes, basketball, hockey, the Canadarm, etc... Capitan Canuck is still a good comic, and just because it was based off of Capitan America, it doesn't give you the right to insult my country like that.

::cough::

 

Superman's creators, Jerry Seigel and Joe Shuster, lived in Cleveland, Ohio, USA. Yes, Shuster was orginally from Toronto, but as it appears that Jerry *wrote* the storyline and Joe *drew* it, I think I can safely say that Superman is as American as apple pie ^.^

 

Truth, Justice, and the American way, after all.

 

Strange Visitor From Another Planet!

 

Also from that website: "We had a great character," Siegel remembers, "and were determined it would be published." They set out to recreate Superman as a comic strip. One summer night in 1934, Siegel came up with almost all of the Superman legend as we know it, wrote weeks of comic strips by morning, and had Shuster drawing it all the next day - including the creation of Clark Kent, Lois Lane, and Superman's distinctive red, yellow, and blue costume.

That does not excuse that it was created by a Canadian anyways helping my point.

This topic has VERY quickly devolved into name calling (and not just each other's countries, either). It is now closed.

 

Also, in the future, try and use smaller pictures please, we don't need to see every thread on the page and some folks do get to the website on slow dial-up connections. Thanks.
