They All Have Such Charming Nicknames...

'Mrs Anthrax' held by US forces.

Really, the whole crew sounds like one of those pre-Crisis on Infinite Earths DC-comic alternative universe set of characters: Chemical Ali, Dr. Germ, and Mrs. Anthrax: the League of Really Bad Chemists from Earth-WMD. Where's Captain Comet when you need him? Perhaps at the next JLA-JSA annual picnic they could go mop up Iraq.

(To the non-comic literate, just ignore this post and move along.)

Hmmm... I like comic books (or did as a kid), but I think I will heed your advice and move on. Captain Comet sounds like that annoying dude who tried to get me to recycle in the '70s.

Heh. Plus, didn't the picnic disappear after the Crisis on Infinite Earths?! I'm confused now.

JL: Capitan Comet was a DC character who was the recurring hero in a short-lived comic called The Secret Society of Super Villians. Somehow my ref to the "League of Really Bad Chemists" took me back to the mid-70s and said book.

There: more than you needed (or wanted!) to know. :)
