Suplex
Alright, back to it 2 months later. This character is apparently a synthesis of Dr Fate (half helmet, which I actually hate now; preferring the full helm look) and a well known wrestling move. Most likely it reminded me of some type of stretching like power (despite my inability to illustrate such). 1983, still utilizing the "Ace Frehley" lightning bolt after my signature with the "z" and "check mark" type "3" in "'83".

Gadget Man
Alright, I'm back. It has been a busy few years working and finishing up my baccalaureate in nursing but I am bound to get all of these posted for posterity :D This one is not dated but based on the signature (still in cursive, last name only, lightning bolt at the end) I assume it is from around 1982 (the three hole punch on the left is a clue as I was still working on plain old copy paper). I am not sure if this character (Gadget Man) was based on inspector gadget or not as this cartoon premiered around the same time and I was an avid cartoon watcher. I can't help but think of parachute pants with those zippers on the leggings; however I am not sure when I first learned of parachute pants (attributed to 80's fashion, but no year denoted), but I am sure my thought was at the time he needed pockets for all his "gadgets".
