UnknownTales wrote:The Leaf
Canada's Greatest Hero!

For three generation’s, The Leaf has been Canada’s Greatest Hero, a heritage passed from father to son, until Michael MacSorly breaks that tradition. When a killer robot assumes the guise of The Leaf in its brutal campaign against crime, a reluctant Michael must take on the mantle of The Leaf from his deceased father and redeem the hero’s now tarnished legacy.

Michael MacSorly’s father fought separatists in the 60’s and his grandfather freed Europe from the Nazi scourge. Now, following his father’s death, Michael has donned the Leaf flight suit to protect the streets of Canada and his father’s good name from a band of out-of-control robots created by his desperate father in the waning days of his life.

Awesome. Thanks. Once Lloyd gets back to me on this I'll build a page on the site with these profiles and add some art to each profile as well.

Good. I have other stories from ALL THREE generations of Canada's Greatest Hero!

I'm writing The Original Leaf right now. He's smashing Nazis off the continent and freeing Europe!

Its three different independent stories. Each of the characters are spotlighted in their own self-contained story. Its a lot of bang for your buck!

Plus its brought to you by several Valiantfans board members!!!!!

Steve Perry has agreed to write a story for Surprising Comics. Now, some of you know how much I love the New Universe, and this is the gentleman who wrote Psi-Force #1, so naturally I couldn't be more excited!

Courtesy of Lloyd Smith:

On July 4, 1942, Joseph Eliott was exploring the mountains around his home when he stumbled upon a secret lab housing an experiment with the mysterious "Omega Energy". The experiment went out of control, so Joseph sprang into action to help, saving the day but exposing himself to the dangerous and unpredictable "Omega Energy". Fortunately, Joseph soon learned that he had gained super-strength, near-invulnerability, and like the American Dream he chose to represent, the inability to stay dead. So was born...SGT. FREEDOM!

I think John's working on that, even as we speak.
