CAPTAIN METROPOLIS

Like the other Minute Men, Captain Metropolis had no real super power, except his wits and his fists..... AND A NEED TO FIGHT CRIME, and punish villians.

As a young child, Nelson Gardener was a sickly and asthmatic.  But even at a young age his own determination help him over come his condition. He started training himself to be a stronger fitter person. And over the years he began to  overcome his condition, and was no longer considered a weakling any longer.   He became a star on the field with college football, and when he graduated he joined the US Marine Corp, a way to help do his bit to help his fellow Americans.

After leaving the forces he felt that he himself could do something about the rotten element that had started to raise its head in American Society. Using the skills he had learnt in the Marines along with those he already processed he adopted the identity of CAPTAIN METROPOLIS and started to fight crime in the City.

Feeling that he could not win this war against crime alone, he decided to help create the Minute Men, To be made up of people like him who wanted to make a difference.

FAIR PLAY AND DOWN WITH CRIME




MORE MINUTE MEN SOON

THE HOODED JUSTICE

This Masked Marvel first appeared in late 1938 when he saved a young couple from a back street robbery in the Queens district of New York.  At this time he was no more than a nameless vigilante who preyed on those who attacked and wanted to harm others. 

His style of  justice was brutal and without mercy, and soon the Press nicknamed him THE HOODED JUSTICE.


THE ORIGINAL MASKED MARVEL

Who he was, was never known,  and his motive for deciding to help  keep the peace was also a mystery...... however his actions soon began to catch the attention of others.  In the coming months more masked  heroes started appearing on the on the Streets, things would nver be the same again.


More Heroes next time.

HERE COME THE MINUTE MUTTS

Originally the Minute Men were just a small part of the story that was called THE WATCH MEN.  Fans of the original graphic novel and the film wanted to know a little bit more about the original team that help give birth to the Watchmen.

Like DC's Justice Society the Minute Men had their crime fighting careers ended due to government intervention regarding MASKED VIGILANTES.... and also like the post crisis DC universe, many of the Silver Aged Heroes had connections to their Golden Age counterparts. Especially with both teams having a Nite Owl and a Silk Spectre on their teams.

Each  post I will introduce my versions of the Minute Men or MUTTS and try to tell you a little bit about each.

BEFORE THE WATCH DAWGS CAME THE MINUTE MUTTS

SO ENJOY !

BEFORE THE WATCHMEN ( WATCH DAWGS)

A few weeks back I did a series on the Watchmen  who I renamed my Watch Dawgs, at the same time as drawing these Mighty Mutts I did their "parent" team called the Minute Men or  Minutes Mutts

Basing my designs on the original Watchdawg graphic Novel, with a little nod to the film versions of the forerunners to the Watchmen, I present the Minutes Mutts.

As the Minute men are now subject to their own limited comic series, I thought it would be an ideal time to let "MY DAWGS OUT"


We start with my version of the iconic Photograph which featured in the original Graphic Novel and the Movie version of the Watchmen

I will blog the coloured version of the photo later on during my Minute Mutt Week

More Minute Mutt pictures soon.

ENJOY
