Statesman

Statesman outside Paragon City Hall

If there is something the USA has been lacking in, it’s mythical creatures. The people of Scotland have the Loch Ness Monster, the land of Tibet claims the Yeti (although we did re-imagine them as Bigfoot) and even the ancient Greeks had a Minotaur – no fair, where’s ours? Wake up people, we have a figure more legendary, more extraordinary than any fairytale fancy – we have Statesman.

Okay, we had Statesman. His whereabouts are still largely unknown, but rumours that Statesman continues to lead a division of the Freedom Phalanx is stoking the fires of fable all across the country. Since our competition last month, Hero! has been inundated with photos, stories and personal accounts pertaining to Statesman’s activities. So far, none have been substantiated.

Hero! can reveal however that Statesman is not living with Elvis, has not been stealing people from their sleep for experimentation, and was never one of the Dallas Cowboys. In truth, we know very little about Statesman’s recent movements, though his presence is always felt, if rarely seen.

For the past fifty years, Statesman has been at the forefront of Paragon’s assault on evil, from staving off the Rikti invasion to quashing Nemesis’ advances on DC. He’s evaded death time and time again, wrenching glory from the jaws of defeat, dishing out justice to all wrong-doers. So what if Statesman has been quiet for a few years, wouldn’t you be?

Don’t believe all you hear about Statesman, but believe he is still here. His presence is always felt, if rarely seen.
