The man who would become Mahatma Doom was one of the members of the Monastery of Mystic Monks in Tibet, who tended to the health of Victor von Doom and trained him in their arts. Doom returned the favor by killing all of the monks except one. This survivor realized that they had made a huge mistake by teaching Doom, unwittingly unleashing a terrible evil upon the world. He took on the alias of “Mahatma Doom” to spread kindness and balance Doom’s evil.
My favorite part of Summer. Lightning bugs make for the best natural fireworks show. I was thinking of doing a swamp walk at twilight to see if I can see a little show sometime when the opportunity is best.
