365 DC Comics Heroes & Villains Paper Cut-Outs

The Golden Glider

Lisa Snart grew up in an abusive home.  Her father was a violent man who suffered from terrible alcoholism.  Lisa’s older brother, Lenny, was highly protective of her and would often provoke their father so to maintain his anger on him and spare Lisa.  While this protected Lisa from being abused it also fostered an unhealthy codependence on her brother.  Years later, when Lenny became the costumed supervillain known as Captain Cold, Lisa felt compelled to follow his path and she became a villain as well.  

Lisa is a gifted ice skater and excelled in the field of competitive figure skating.  She competed under the pseudonym of ‘Lisa Star’ and had ambitions to earn a chance to compete in the olympics.  Her coach and lover was Roscoe Dillan, an associate of her brother’s as well as the villain known as The Top.  

Roscoe passed away from a rare type of brain cancer, yet Lisa blamed his death on The Top’s nemesis, The Flash.  Intent on taking revenge, Lisa vowed to take down The Flash.  She fashioned a specialized pair of ice skates that allowed her to glide on air and, dressed in a golden costume, dubbed herself ‘The Golden Glider.’  Although she was able to bedevil Scarlett Speedster for a time, Lisa was never able to defeat the hero.  

Lenny did what he could to dissuade his sister from a life as a costume criminal, but his words fell on deaf ears. Indeed Lisa began to resent her brother over his efforts to control her life.  In a poorly thought through act of defiance, Lisa provided a new villain with a version of her brother’s cold cold, believing he could replace her brother and act as her partner in crime.  Calling himself ‘Chillblaine’ this cad used the cold gun on Lisa, killing her instantly.  Lenny would later avenge his sister, killing Chillblaine.  

In the Nu52 rebooted continuity, Lisa’s death is mysteriously undone and she appears as a metahuman villain who has the ability to become intangible, move at super sonic speeds and control sharp, ribbon-like tendrils that manifest from her hands.  This version of the Golden Glider recruits the Rogues to do her bidding but is ultimately defeated by The Flash with the aid of her brother Captain Cold.  

Lisa and Lenny later reconciled and joined forces alongside the Rogues to pull off capers and go up against The Flash.  The villainous siblings are still at large.

The 13th annual international gender census, collecting information about the language we use to refer to ourselves and each other, is now open until 13th August 2026.

It’s short and easy, for most participants it takes 5 minutes or less.

After the survey is closed I’ll process the results and publish a spreadsheet of the data and a report summarising the main findings. Then anyone can use them for academic or business purposes, self-advocacy, tracking the popularity of language over time, and just feeling like we’re part of a huge and diverse community.

If you think you might have friends and followers who’d be interested, please do reblog this blog post, and share the survey URL by email or at AFK social groups or on other social networks. Every share is extremely helpful!

Survey URL: https://survey.gendercensus.com

The survey is open to anyone anywhere who speaks English and feels that the gender binary doesn’t fully describe their experience of themselves and their gender(s) or lack thereof.

Thank you so much!

Don't forget me. I won't remember anything else.

I wish the idea of this came up more often, I love all the young heroes being in contact with each other. But also there's no way in hell Nico is actually on there, she dont gaf about any of them

But she never shied away from helping others or being social.

Sometimes, time seems to move in a vicious cycle, repeating itself in a painfully astonishing manner, as if mocking humanity's ability to learn from its mistakes. Two images are separated by 79 years, yet they appear as though no time has passed, as if the gap between them is merely a few fleeting moments.

I know exactly how few donations this campaign has been receiving lately, because I am the organiser. I receive an e-mail every time a donation is made. I put them all in a folder, unread, so I can see exactly how many people have donated at any time. Seeing that number go up means my friends are more secure, and their situation is anything but right now.

I have made two transfers to Maryam's family since I started this fundraiser. They were much needed. They still are.

This is a verified fundraiser. Gazavetters #15.

These are my friends.

Please. Donate. Please. Share. I'm begging you.

If you want to donate but have questions about how the funds are transferred, feel free to get in touch!

tagging for reach, please share and aks your friends to share as well, thank you <3 (let me know if you don't want me to tag you anymore, apologies for any multiple tags)
