Blue Brigade (Comics)

Blue Brigade is a fictional quartet of Super heroes from Golden Megalopolis that pre-dates the Poverty Pack. Of particular interest is that it was a team that was lead by Captain Commander prior to his joining the Pack. Their first appearance is in Poverty Pack Vol 1: "Kneading Dough" in a single panel. Their debut as a functioning unit was Poverty Thrill Adventures #5 "Plight of the Blue Brigade".

The team is consisted of the following members:

Roderick Foreman/ Captain Commander

Specializing in giving out orders, Roderick Foreman grew up with the gift of leadership. Eventually, he made a career of it, first becoming a Swallow Scout, then a Disobedient School Trainer  and then finally a full-fledged hero after commanding a thug to put down his weapon and leaving the liqour store he intended to rob. The Commander's career was illustrious as he was deemed one of the "old guard"; Golden Megalopolis' A-list heroes who once maintained order in the large metropolis. Eventually he assumed leadership of the newly formed Blue Brigade and under his guidance, they became a hopeful "new guard" as many of the top-tier super heroes left the city.

Leslie Ann Ninny/Airhead

Leslie Ann Ninny was tired of trying to convince the male super heroes of the old guard that she was fully capable of holding her own. As the "Femme Phenom" she was regarded as something of a threat to her comrades of the opposite sex for her cunning intellect and mental powers; soon her mission assignments went from stopping villains to getting them coffee. Frustrated,  Leslie decided that she would create a social experiment and play the "dumb blonde" to see where that would get her. Things became comically polarizing and chauvanistic, but it also had it's advantages: Leslie was able to get into places her old self could not. She aslo gained far more media attention and sensationalism. It would be insulting if it weren't so fun. Leslie upped the ante and created the persona called "Airhead" after she resorted tousing her mental prowess to create durable bubbles from thin air.
