He might be the perfect boogeyman for a post-9/11 world. <br />Vulnavia Morbiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04722740955194993451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18814440.post-23507088243334530172013-11-25T09:23:50.580-08:002013-11-25T09:23:50.580-08:00Also, it's easy to forget that the Invisible M...Also, it's easy to forget that the Invisible Man is easily the most deadly of the Universal Monsters--or at least the most death-dealing.
