Someone who can add humor to situations where any other possible clown would get blown to bits, but who doesn't control or subvert the underlying situation.<br /><br />(I expect that all of the big JLA villains whose names end with the letter 'o' have a place in this category, by the way. At least the ones with a single-word name.)Jeff R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10010142887152619337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-65614186104991564652009-05-14T14:33:00.000-05:002009-05-14T14:33:00.000-05:00My 3-year-old nephew discovered Abra Kadabra today...My 3-year-old nephew discovered Abra Kadabra today in Super Friends, which he calls "my magazine".

I'm betting a Legionnaire or two may make an appearance. G'Nort seems likes he might fit in here somewhere, but I can't quite put my finger on the unique dramatic purpose he serves. I just start thinking about him and I begin to chuckle a bit.<br /><br />-Citizen ScribblerCitizen Scribblernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-60966008392887350142009-05-13T19:05:00.000-05:002009-05-13T19:05:00.000-05:00I agree with Sally.
