Nick Looney is a second grader fighting cancer but he became Red Lightning today thanks to Make-A-Wish.

After two years of battling a disease, Nick fulfilled his dream of becoming a superhero.

Thanks Nick for your bravery and Red Lightning for saving Seattle’s music scene. Macklemore was among the Seattle music icons who sent thank you messages to the young hero.

A hero rises when Red Lightning saves Seattle music.

When seven-year-old Nick Looney awoke today he was a boy with a love of superheroes (we fully support that!)

This already extraordinary boy was transformed and embarked upon the ultimate Seattle superhero adventure. Nick went from a second-grader fighting leukemia into a superhero character created especially for him: Red Lightning.

Seattle needed Red Lightning to save our beloved music history! Continue reading RED LIGHTNING SAVES SEATTLE MUSIC

We introduced you to a new superhero: Red Lightning!

But what is a hero without villains and a crime to solve?

Here’s the story courtesy the Make-A-Wish team:

“Seattle-based musician relics, including a Univox Hy-Flyer guitar smashed by Kurt Cobain, a Fender Stratocaster played by Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock, a Bengal tiger jacket worn by Macklemore in the “Thrift Shop” music video and Technics SL-1200 MK2 turntables used in performance by Grandmaster Flash, have gone missing from the EMP Museum. Superhero’s United is being contacted to help us solve the mystery. Continue reading RED LIGHTNING & Meet the Villains!

A new Seattle Superhero is born this week!

From our friends at Make-A-Wish:

“Superheroes come in all shapes and sizes – from caped crusaders protecting cities to children like seven-year-old Nick, who is fearlessly battling acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Now undergoing his second round of chemotherapy, Nick has tapped into his superhero strength and spirit to endure a dosage that is typically given to much older children.

“He never complains, EVER,” said his mom, Stephanie.  “Nick rarely gets sick, but after he does, he is smiling and running off to play. He is literally the strongest person I have ever met.” With heroic strength like this, it’s no surprise he wished to be transformed into a superhero alter-ego of his own creation: Red Lightning!

We’re taking National Cat Day to sing the purr-aises of Patsy Walker aka Hellcat!
You may have picked up on our love for feline themed hero.

Back when Marvel started a new Defenders book, then a Fearless Defenders book – I hoped for a Hellcat appearance. Writer Cullen Bunn did grant this geek his wish in the cancelled-too-soon Fearless Defenders.

Charles Soule made Hellcat part of Jennifer Walters team in the now cancelled She-Hulk series.

Like cats – I’m asking for one more life for this character. Continue reading RAISE HELLCAT On NATIONAL CAT DAY
