Desktops

I had this image from Marvel as my desktop for a couple of weeks, because, clearly, I like not being able to find my icons. During that time, I kept having a nagging feeling that I knew who this character in the second tier behind Iron Man was, but I couldn’t place him.
I take it he’s one of the new characters in the Initiative series, so I’m not supposed to know who he is, but still something about him kept poking my brain. Then, when I saw the book on the shelf last week, the realization hit me: it’s Frank Miller!
Look at him: aside from the obvious physical resemblance, he’s characteristically surly, and he’s cradling his fist like he’d like to punch someone, maybe al Quaeda or Wizard Magazine. Mystery solved. I hope he gets his own action figure, or maybe a video game.
