The Lightning Bolts

I wonder what it is about lightning bolts being used as motifs for superhero uniforms.  There sure are a lot of them! I guess it's because they can stand for electricity, speed or power so they fit a lot of skill sets.  At any rate, I had gotten a few requests for a team that shares this theme, so I figured I would give it a shot.  I have to say, this would be a fun crew to watch work together.

Superman and Zot!

Zot! was a comic by Scott McCloud that was published from 1984 to 1990, just as comics were getting into the grim and gritty phase, so its bright visuals and upbeat attitude really stood out.  McCloud later went on to write and illustrate the great Understanding Comics and Reinventing Comics, must reads for any fan of the genre.
