Re: Stan Lee Tribute! Stickist Superhero
Rest in peace, Stan.
As for Super Sticking:
Quote:
In a world of sentient animals and humans, the hardheaded tortoise wizard Clothahump searches across the dimensions for another kind of wizard to help defeat the looming threat posed by the armies of the Plated Folk. What he gets is Jonathon Thomas Meriweather, law student, part-time would-be rock guitarist and janitor, who finds that with the use of a unique instrument called a duar, he can perform magic by playing and choosing from his well-worn repertoire of rock. Jon-Tom, as he is called in Clothahump’s world, quickly discovers that while he might be able to use magic with his music making, the results are often unpredictable and usually humorous. Ever searching for a way to get back to Earth, Jon-Tom takes up the battle to save this world.
This is what I always wanted to be as a kid, other than Spider-Man and an X-Man. The protagonist plays a magic lute and cast spells with it, but (backstory) he's a failed rock musician from Earth who gets transported to a magical land and finds a magic lute, and the music he plays on it is Hendrix. For example, playing Purple Haze as a confusion spell.
Spoiler alert: he leaves the Magic world to go back to earth to see if he can make it as a musician and becomes a massive rock star, abandons it, and returns to wizardry.
This idea could have come from the mind of Stan Lee, instead of Alan Dean Foster (a much better writer than Stan). And that's the superhero I'd be! (Okay, right after having a healing factor. Immortality and regeneration rock!)
And then Spiral could tap some mean Sticks, methinks.
