I hadn't read enough of him to really know whether he had a disability or not. <br />Folk on twitter had suggested him, but also said it's not a real world condition, so I erred on the side of caution and left him out (you may have seen the conversations).<br /><br />However, now I'm thinking who am I to say if he's relevant or not?<br /><br />If people want to read more about him, you can get the issues on Comixology:<br />https://comics.comixology.com/#/series/4306<br />You want the 2010-2011 series (I believe that's correct - if I'm wrong hopefully someone will put me right).<br />It's a good run.Sarangahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03545162612237984546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3207341558635507449.post-63885156572795965292012-01-03T02:17:36.247+00:002012-01-03T02:17:36.247+00:00I'd argue that Savant of Birds of Prey, while ...I'd argue that Savant of Birds of Prey, while a villain more often than a hero, is mentally disabled in a way that doesn't effect his villainy. His time disorder, while not directly analogous to any Real World condition as far as I know, is similar symptomatically to people on the Autistic Spectrum or with Traumatic Brain Injury. It certainly is written as separate from his villainy, and not a part of it.Debihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05852233139848200640noreply@blogger.com
