No Fate But the One We Await

So I was at my local coin-op laundromat yesterday, run by a man who looks like nothing so much as Supreme Chancellor Palpatine in a faded Canadian tuxedo. My purpose there was nothing greater than the cleansing of my clothes, naturally enough. But at some point during the spin cycle, a puzzling problem presented itself to me.

Must every fruit themed superhero eventually go bad?

Now, I'll be among the first to admit that a definitive answer either way won't be reason to rewrite the laws of physics or anything. But it still possessed a particular relevance to my own person.

You see, I recently completed, and prepared to submit to DC Comics, my very first script. In short (Don't want to spoil all the juicy details) Diana, Princess of Themyscera, better known as Wonder Woman, must team up with the new hero Spartan, who is the son of Hercules and lives in an orchard. Ultimately, Spartans' sinister motives come to light and he and Wonder Woman must do battle.

Those of us who are old enough to be Legion of Superhero fans will remember Golden Delicious Boy, who, despite his initial appearance of goodness, turned out to be a willing conspirator in a plot by Vandal Savage to destroy the Legion. Only some quick thinking by Matter Eater Lad saved the heroes and put an end to Golden Delicious Boy.

I can recall no other heroes of this variety, however. But I think I'll hold on to my script for a while, until I can do some more research into the matter. The last thing I want is to perpetuate any stereotypes.

Here's a list of other fruit themed heroes (and villains):
Pinapple Pokopo,
Cherry Bomb,
Granny Goodness (I think her maiden name was Smith),
Hawk, Dove, Jean-Paul Beaubier,
and the Hostess Fruit Pies.

Hope this helps with your research.
