Dear LL Members,

After meeting with several members of the LL, I would like you to know that I have gone to and from Europe and found some of the most formidable allies that your fundage could afford. Here for your approval, is the list that I have compiled:

Chord on Blue-
This French-born hero of Scotland wears a costume that resembles the flag of Scotland. His only weapon is a magical zip chord that he uses to unpack secret weapons from an alternate dimension. He can also send bad guys there too, but he's never quite figured out how to get them back once they've gotten in. Apparently at different times of the year, this zip chord dimension is a tropical paradise loaded with everything an evil mastermind could dream of. It's suspected that the villains just don't want to leave.

Arriv an' Derchi-
These Italian twins are very much like your own meat-wielding superhero, except that they are limited to commanding only Italian-style meats. Their most notorious weapons are their Italian Sausage Nun Chucks- which every villain fears in Italy.

Veener-Schnitzel-
This crime fighting Dachshund of doom was once a mild mannered dog that was hit by a piece of alien planet that blew up in a far away galaxy. Having this piece of planet lodged inside of his spine, the microbes on it, apparently sentient themselves, took control of his system and now protect the streets of Berlin with their "minor alterations" to their host's physiology. These alterations are not yet numbered, but the dog is now recognized as the world's first mobile science lab/ colony for extra terrestrials.

Chocks Away-
This British superhero spends most of his nights diving off of tall buildings onto unsuspecting criminals- literally. Amazingly, his name is also his battle call. His mostly indestructible body keeps him out of harms way most of the time. Real heroes and villains all fear this man as his unpredictability of who he will pounce on leaves him being somewhat more of a menace than a hero. But, the fact that his ratio of villains to innocents is higher than the rest, he's considered a hero in Brittan's eyes.

These are just the first four that I've been able to track down. I'll report more later as I find those within your budget.

Sincerely,
Joey Z.

Although the Scottish flag is a red X on a white background, so that would pick up dirt shickingly as a superhero uniform.

Hmm... Online flag directory said it was blue with a white x on it... Someone needs to talk to that website.

No, I think the directory is right, in retrospect. The flag I described is the Cross of St David, the flag of Ireland. The English flag is a red cross on a white background, with the cross being the vertical/horizontal plus sign used as a Christian symbol (the cross of St George). The Scottish flag you mention is the Cross of St Andrew. The three are combined together to form the Union Flag (often called the Union Jack, although that\'s more properly the description for the flag when used at sea).

The Welsh flag is white and green with a red dragon on it and nobody thought it was important enough to include when the Union Flag was first created in 1606 or when it was revised in 1801.
