Marvel to a super Marriage

In this weeks “Astonishing X-Men #50” Northstar takes center stage and prepares to go from one of the first openly gay superheros is comics to the first married gay hero at Marvel. Northstar has had a confusing history. He stared is “Alfa Flight,” for marvel in the 80’s and 90’s but his star fell not long after he came out as being a gay man. At the time his coming out was a development, but since then has been ignored, he was at one point declared a fairy. The character has become a start for Marvel and they will see how it goes. Dean says “I think the character is pretty neat.” 

Cruise Lines at it again

An 18-year-old Panamanian fisherman who survived 28 days adrift at sea is suing Princess Cruise Lines, arguing that one of its Cruise ship should have stopped and saved him.A lawsuit filed in Florida last week says the behavior of officers or crew members of the Star Princess was "outrageous and, under the circumstances, so beyond all bounds of decency as to be regarded as shocking, atrocious and utterly intolerable in a civilized community."Three passengers who were bird watching on the ship alerted a crew member when they spotted Adrian Vasquez and his companions were signaling for help from their fishing boat, the suit says.Even though crew members "had clear knowledge that people were stranded in an open boat hundreds of miles from shore in the Pacific Ocean and desperately calling for their help," the suit says, "they consciously ignored the emergency situation and did not deviate from their cruise."The fishing boat, Fifty Cents, had been adrift for 15 days when it crossed paths with the Star Princess on March 10, according to the lawsuit. They said t the time the ship passed all three fishermen aboard were alive. Do you think this was a wrongful doing of the ship’s captain.
