I'm a fan of The CW's "Legends of Tomorrow" television series and have enjoyed its return to television during the past couple of weeks -- though it's getting a bit hokey recently. The various characters -- White Canary, Firestorm, Atom, Vixen, Citizen Steel, and Heat-Wave -- have been overly incompetent in this season's first two adventures. I guess I'm just waiting for the characters to up their game again soon.
But I'm not actually here to write about the Legends. I'm here to write about tonight's adventure, which took place in 1870 Wisconsin. The team appeared at P.T. Barnum's circus/freak show to track down a minor anachronism -- a sabre-tooth tiger that Atom accidentally transformed into a giant sabre-tooth tiger. Fortunately, they captured the beast before it got into too much trouble.
But I was pretty excited to see B'wana Beast in the circus!! B'wana Beast is a hero from Africa who sports all sorts of animal-based powers. He can telepathically control animals. He has super-strength and speed. He has hightened senses. He's a great fighter. And he can fuse two animals into one mixed animal (i.e., merging a horse and a bird into a winged horse, for example).
I was hoping when I first saw B'wana Beast from the previews that he might make a cool sparring partner for Vixen. Instead, he ended up just being a powerless strongman in P.T. Barnum's circus. In fact, his brief encounter with Vixen ended up with B'wana Beast being tossed across the room like a ragdoll -- never to be seen again.
