He doesn’t find the most sympathetic friend in Nick, but Aram didn’t go to Nick looking for sympathy, and he had no trouble drumming up interest in turning his idea into a business. Fans already knew that Aram left the Bureau and began developing some very lucrative tech in the private sector the new episode clip reveals that it was some “offensive” software rather than defensive. The time jump between the end of Season 8 and beginning of Season 9 was two years, so this version of Aram is understandably still mourning the tragic death of Liz and the loss of the life he knew as part of the FBI’s Task Force. So King of Comic Books, hit me up at the email connected to this site and let’s do a business.As shown in the flashback clip, the episode of The Blacklist that airs on April 22 – called “El Conejo” – will reveal what exactly Aram was up to in his life two years ago. I’m calling this a billion dollar idea, but I will settle for a million dollars. Now let’s exploit the public's unending fascination with hobos and hobo culture and get crazy rich. We’ve gone the futuristic, high-tech route. They’ll love him even more when he’s flying over Metropolis and using his X ray vision to see which soup kitchens has the shortest line! The Punisher is half a hobo already! And the prestigious D.C and Marvel hobo lines would provide a pretext for bringing my favorite hero, Rutger Hauer’s Hobo with A Shotgun, from the movie The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie, into the superhero comic book world. So why not all-new versions of beloved Marvel and D.C characters where every caped crusader and masked marvel is a hobo fighting crime, sure, but more importantly hopping trains, scavenging for food, drinking hooch on lonely moonlit rides, playing harmonica and telling hobo tales around a campfire near a train yard?Ĭan you even imagine the kind of tricked-out bindle a technological genius like Tony Stark would travel with? Being pursued everywhere by those damn railroad cops everywhere would undoubtedly make a meek-seeming, bindle-toting vagrant named Bruce Banner angry, and let me tell you: you wouldn’t like him when he’s angry!Įverybody loves Superman. Rumor has it there’s even a version of Batman where he’s actually grim and serious instead of the lovable goof we know from the 1960s television show and The All New Super Friends Hour. We’ve had a Victorian era steampunk Batman. We’ve had zombie versions of superheroes. That’s when I realized that that’s where the superhero genre must go: into the hobo verse. The costume was so raggedly that I admit that Declan looked a little bit like a hobo Spider-Man. We may allow our son to do things that might seem a little bit off if, say, a 32 year old were to do them, but we are sanitary. I must fly away now.”īut as he flew away, he accidentally dropped a business card revealing that he actually WAS Clark Kent, bespectacled news hound for The Daily Planet! Stan Lee famously got his ideas for superheroes from all the unsung artists and writers he ripped off, such as Jack Kirby and Stan Ditko.Īnd I, the next comic book billionaire, had my gazillion dollar epiphany watching my son play on a playground in his Spiderman costume, which is raggedy and torn and filled with holes after days and days of wearing it consecutively. Whoops! I’ve said too much about who I am not. And I sure as shit am not from that piece of shit small town Smallville. I most assuredly am not a mild-mannered reporter for The Daily Planet named Clark Kent who is hopelessly in love with fellow reporter Lois Lane. Deeply inebriated, the foolish superhero blurted out, “For the sake of my safety-and yours, I can never reveal my secret identity, but I can tell you what it’s NOT. Later, the idea-hungry new artists had a few drinks with the man they’d taken to calling “Superman” after the reefer junkie's offhanded comment and asked him to tell them a little more about himself. “That’s Super, Man!” shouted a nearby weed freak. Rumor has it that the seeds for Superman’s epic reign were planted when a pair of enterprising young comic book artists named Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster were sunbathing at the beach when a man in red, white and blue tights with an S on his chest dramatically flew in from nowhere to save a little girl from drowning. Inspiration for billion dollar superhero ideas can come from anywhere.
