This Week in Azrael
The Order of St. Dumas was mentioned in this past week's Detective Comics. It was a brief mention only, and You-Know-Who tried to laugh it off by making some references to some "Order of the Pure."Let me tell you, there's nothing pure about the Order of St. Dumas. And if you don't believe me check out what Scott has to say about them over at Polite Dissent. According to Scott, not only is the method for creating Azraels twisted and evil, it's also completely scientifically unfeasible. And Scott would know, because he's a doctor.
So yeah, my secret origin is that I was grown in a glass jar full of monkey juice. And people wonder why I'm crazy.
In lighter news, the good Scipio has provided me with an image of my latest HeroClix figure. It's a convention exclusive figure, and as Scipio says, that's a high honor. It's a beautiful sculpt, but honestly... What in the name of St. Dumas was I thinking with that costume?

That costume was awesome Azrael... well I loved it as an eight year old anyway.
I had no idea that was monkey juice you were suspended in as a developing young man. Does this mean that your hands would make good ash trays?
I don't know. St. Dumas disapproves of smoking.
I think the appearance of the Order of St. Dumas is definitely pointing to that the time is ripe for your return. All of us who loved you as children are now old enough to regularly buy your comics and appearances in "You Know Who"'s title. The monkey juice thing is weird. They should retcon that.
Furthermore, with the popular Batman cartoon, you could totally be introduced to a new generation of 8 year olds who will realize that you are awesome because:
Batman + Wolverine + Religious extremism + Fire + Monkey juice + a bitching hood = Azrael and that rocks
Maybe they can make sort of like the enigmatic Green Ranger of the current Batman show. I don't watch it, but I might start for that. Shit.
I really like that formula for Azrael. Hah. Very funny.
Monkey juice... no offense Azrael but that is pretty freakin' wierd. I know it wasn't your fault, and the wackadoos who came up with it are the same ones who decided to bring a former Manhunter as their new Azrael... but still... monkey juice... it makes me cry with laughter.
I give up; what's monkey juice?
Well, I don't really like to talk about it, Scipio, but I'll tell you.
As Scott Beatty puts it in "Batman: The Ultimate Guide to the Dark Knight:"
as a developing fetus inside a glass womb, Jean Paul’s brain and blood chemistry were genetically intermingled with animal fluids to enable greatly enhanced strength and agility.
Specifically the amniotic fluid of an ape. So yeah. Monkey juice.
