Crisis Weekly, five weeks in!

Did I say last week that I was done introducing the real world crises?  Ah!  Because this one features Mexican migrants...!

Crisis Weekly #5 also features obscure superhero El Dorado!

El Dorado is best known as one of the ethnic creations from Super Friends, all of whom were later dismissed as bad stereotypes.  But well before I had ever heard of the teleporting mutant Nightcrawler, and certainly before I'd ever seen X2: X-Men United, in which Nightcrawler so memorably invades the White House, I was fascinated by El Dorado's wonderful cape, which he used to transport himself wherever he pleased.

But to everyone else, El Dorado more or less never existed at all.  He's made a handful of appearances since, even made a cameo in the comics, but certainly never starred in his own series or been featured as a member of the Justice League (which, as we all know, the "Super Friends" was all along).

So of course if I was ever going to write comic book scripts, I was going to rectify that. 

In Crisis Weekly, not only does El Dorado exist, he's helping migrants cross the borders, and in his civilian identity (a name taken from his appearance in the Young Justice cartoon, because he never got one in Super Friends) even serves as Vice President of Mexico!  (Before you say so, officially that office hasn't existed for a hundred years.) 

Vindication!  Viva El Dorado!
