Having looked at her images again, I think I was mistaken.



This might be me just being naive but reality warpers are infamous for being very difficult to integrate into a story without jobbing them or toning down their powers.

I dunno. While there's real truth to what you said, it just feels sucky dwelling on the thought that this awesome Black deity-tier character can't be used because reasons. And between him and Shadowman (not sure I count Quantum) holding up Valiant's Black pool of heroes (with Livewire no longer factoring and not counting Quantum, who's also not a factor now, anyway), any reason not to use Divinity just means the loss of one of Valiant's two Black hero pillars.

I liked the Divinity books a lot. I really haven't read valiant too much since.

I think you guys are going to love this one.

Last week a viral video showed an altercation between a black guy and drunk white guy at a convenience store. The drunk white guy was using the n-word and when he continued despite the black guys asking him to stop, the black guy smacked him in the face with a can of Twisted Tea.

The name of the black guy? Barry Allen.

This is a single study of a relatively small sample size, only 200 people. Until I see this replicated with a significantly larger sample, I won't believe that this correlation of Covid 19 and Vitamin D deficiency is anything more than coincidence.

Why not just take Vit D because it is good ot high healthy level of it then lol?

Well, sure it's always a good idea to get more Vitamin D in your diet. Of course, the best source of Vitamin D is direct sunlight.

Yeah. The stories they come up with for Divinity when they bother to use him are really good. The problem then becomes when they aren't specifically trying to use Divinity. It's also been a while since Divinity's last book.

Someone's parents where either a comicbook fan, or just really in-tune.

Better off supplementing. Barely anyone are getting vit D levels from sunlight. People are inside working at peak "vit D" hours. Even in FL, vit D levels are chronically low.

It is one tiny pill that isn't expensive at all, even for the pharmaceutical grade stuff.

My wife has been watching "Bridgerton" on Netflix and it is downright weird seeing black people in roles of power in a time period piece. Just really weird to see lol
