'''Kraken''' ({{pron-en|ˈkreɪkən}} or {{IPA-en|ˈkrɑːkən|}})<ref>{{cite book|title=Oxford English Dictionary|publisher=Oxford University Press|location=Oxford, England|date=1989|edition=Second}}</ref> are legendary [[sea monster]]s of gargantuan size, said to have dwelt off the coasts of [[Norway]] and [[Iceland]]. The sheer size and fearsome appearance attributed to the beasts have made them common ocean-dwelling monsters in various fictional works (see [[Kraken in popular culture]]). The legend may actually have originated from sightings of real [[giant squid]] that are variously estimated to grow to {{convert|13|–|15|m|-1|abbr=on}} in length, including the tentacles.<ref name=OShea>O'Shea, S. 2003.

==History==
Even though the name ''kraken'' never appears in the [[Norse saga]]s, there are similar sea monsters, the ''hafgufa'' and ''lyngbakr'', both described in ''[[Orvar-Odd|Örvar-Odds saga]]'' as a giant spider-creature. the Norwegian text from c. 1250, ''[[Konungs skuggsjá]]''.<ref>Or ''Speculum Regale'', the "King's Mirror". The text describes a massive sea creature as large as an island. It is rarely seen by seamen and fishermen, and it is speculated that there are only one or two in the world. The Kraken eats by opening its massive mouth, belches up smaller fish, and eats the larger fish which come to feed upon them.</ref> [[Carolus Linnaeus]] included kraken as [[cephalopods]] with the scientific name '''''Microcosmus''''' in the first edition of his ''[[Systema Naturae]]'' (1735), a taxonomic classification of living organisms, but excluded the animal in later editions. Kraken were also extensively described by [[Erik Pontoppidan]], [[Diocese of Bjørgvin|bishop of Bergen]], in his "Natural History of Norway" (Copenhagen, 1752–3). Early accounts, including Pontoppidan's, describe the kraken as an animal "the size of a floating island" whose real danger for sailors was not the creature itself, but the [[whirlpool]] it created after quickly descending back into the ocean. However, Pontoppidan also described the destructive potential of the giant beast: "It is said that if it grabbed the largest warship, it could manage to pull it down to the bottom of the ocean" (Sjögren, 1980). Kraken were always distinct from [[sea serpent]]s, also common in Scandinavian lore ([[Jörmungandr]] for instance). A representative early description is given by the Swede ''Jacob Wallenberg'' in his book ''Min son på galejan'' ("My son on the galley") from 1781:

<blockquote>... Kraken, also called the Crab-fish, which [according to the pilots of Norway] is not that huge, for heads and tails counted, he is no larger than our [[Öland]] is wide [i.e. less than 16 km] ... He stays at the sea floor, constantly surrounded by innumerable small fishes, who serve as his food and are fed by him in return: for his meal, if I remember correctly what E. Pontoppidan writes, lasts no longer than three months, and another three are then needed to digest it. His excrements nurture in the following an army of lesser fish, and for this reason, fishermen plumb after his resting place ... Gradually, Kraken ascends to the surface, and when he is at ten to twelve [[fathom]]s, the boats had better move out of his vicinity, as he will shortly thereafter burst up, like a floating island, spurting water from his dreadful nostrils and making ring waves around him, which can reach many miles. Could one doubt that this is the [[Leviathan]] of [[Book of Job|Job]]?</blockquote>

According to Pontoppidan, Norwegian fishermen often took the risk of trying to fish over kraken, since the catch was so good. If a fisherman had an unusually good catch, they used to say to each other, "You must have fished on Kraken." Pontoppidan also claimed that the monster was sometimes mistaken for an island, and that some maps that included islands that were only sometimes visible were actually indicating kraken. Pontoppidan also proposed that a young specimen of the monster once died and was washed ashore at [[Alstahaug]] ([[Bengt Sjögren]], 1980).
[[Image:Giant octopus attacks ship.jpg|thumb|right|Imaginary view of a gigantic squid seizing a ship.]]
Since the late 18th century, kraken have been depicted in a number of ways, primarily as [[gigantic octopus|large octopus-like creatures]], and it has often been alleged that Pontoppidan's kraken might have been based on sailors' observations of the [[giant squid]]. In the earliest descriptions, however, the creatures were more [[crab]]- like than [[octopus]]-like, and generally possessed traits that are associated with large [[whale]]s rather than with giant squid. Some traits of kraken resemble undersea [[volcanic activity]] occurring in the [[Iceland]] region, including bubbles of water; sudden, dangerous currents; and appearance of new islets.

In 1802, the French [[malacologist]] [[Pierre Denys de Montfort|Pierre Dénys de Montfort]] recognized the existence of two kinds of giant octopus in ''Histoire Naturelle Générale et Particulière des Mollusques'', an encyclopedic description of mollusks. Montfort claimed that the first type, the ''kraken octopus'', had been described by Norwegian sailors and American whalers, as well as ancient writers such as [[Pliny the Elder]]. The much larger second type, the ''[[gigantic octopus|colossal octopus]]'' (depicted in the above image), was reported to have attacked a sailing vessel from [[Saint-Malo]], off the coast of [[Angola]].

Montfort later dared more sensational claims. He proposed that ten British warships that had mysteriously disappeared one night in 1782 must have been attacked and sunk by giant octopuses. Unfortunately for Montfort, the British knew what had happened to the ships, resulting in a disgraceful revelation for Montfort. Pierre Dénys de Montfort's career never recovered and he died starving and poor in [[Paris]] around 1820 (Sjögren, 1980). In defence of Pierre Dénys de Montfort, it should be noted that many of his sources for the "kraken octopus" probably described the very real [[giant squid]], proven to exist in 1857.

 Below the thunders of the upper deep; 
 Far far beneath in the abysmal sea, 
 His ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep 
 The Kraken sleepeth: faintest sunlights flee 
 About his shadowy sides; above him swell 
 Huge sponges of millennial growth and height; 
 And far away into the sickly light, 
 From many a wondrous grot and secret cell 
 Unnumber'd and enormous polypi 
 Winnow with giant arms the slumbering green. 
 There hath he lain for ages, and will lie 
 Battening upon huge seaworms in his sleep, 
 Until the latter fire shall heat the deep; 
 Then once by man and angels to be seen, 
 In roaring he shall rise and on the surface die.

In 1830, possibly aware of Pierre Dénys de Montfort's work, [[Alfred Tennyson, 1st Baron Tennyson|Alfred Tennyson]] published his popular poem "The Kraken" (essentially an irregular [[sonnet]]), which disseminated Kraken in English with its long-standing superfluous ''the''. The poem in its last three lines, also bears similarities to the legend of [[Leviathan]], a sea monster, who shall rise to the surface at the [[end time|end of days]].

Tennyson's description apparently influenced [[Jules Verne]]'s imagined lair of the famous giant squid in ''[[Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea]]'' from 1870. Verne also makes numerous references to Kraken, and Bishop Pontoppidan in the novel.

Later developments of the Kraken image may be traced at [[Kraken in popular culture]].

Stuffed toy

{{Dablink|"Stuffed animal" redirects here. For the practise of stuffing and mounting dead animals, see [[Taxidermy]].}}
[[Image:3d Lion.gif|thumb|[[Lion]] stuffed animal]]
[[Image:Hamishandgoth.png|thumb|Soft toys are not necessarily animal shaped.]]

A '''stuffed toy''', '''stuffie''', or '''plush toy''' is a [[toy]] sewn from [[cloth]], [[plush]], or other [[textiles]], and stuffed with [[straw]], [[bean]]s, plastic pellets, [[cotton]], synthetic fibres, or other similar materials. Stuffed toys are also known as '''plush toys''' (U.S. English) from [[plush]], the outer material used, and '''soft toys''' or '''cuddly toys''' (British English). They are made in many different forms, often resembling animals, [[legendary creature]]s, [[cartoon characters]] or inanimate objects.
[[anime]], [[manga]], [[cartoon]], [[animals]]
Some stuffed animals are very old – home made cloth dolls stuffed with straw go back to at least the 1830s, perhaps much older. The most well known type of stuffed toy is likely the [[teddy bear]]. They are often used as [[comfort object]]s.

==History==
The term 'stuffed animal' historically referred to stuffing of the evacuated skins of hunted animals. The phrase is still sometimes used to refer to such examples of [[taxidermy]]. However, with modern technology it is now possible to produce them with synthetic materials. For this reason, ''plush toys'' or ''plushies'' (U.S. English) or soft toys (British English) may be more appropriate terms for modern, synthetic stuffed animals.

The first commercial concern to create stuffed toys is apparently the [[Steiff]] company, founded in 1880 in [[Giengen an der Brenz]], [[Germany]].

Among the most popular types of classic stuffed animals are [[teddy bear]]s and [[sock monkey]]s.

==Today==
Stuffed animals are bought for a variety of reasons. Some are bought for display. They can also be given as gifts, such as for graduation, [[Valentine's Day]], birthdays, any kind of special day, or just as an expression of thought.

==Current brands==
Some popular commercial manufacturers include [[Ty Inc.|Ty]], [[Disney]], [[Steiff]], [[Gund]], [[Russ Berrie]], [[Ganz (toy company)|Ganz]], [[Build-A-Bear Workshop]] and [[Boyds Bears]].

'''The Wasp''' ('''Janet van Dyne''') is a [[fictional character]], a [[superhero#superheroines|superheroine]] in the [[Marvel Comics]] [[Marvel Universe|universe]] and founding member of [[Avengers (comics)|The Avengers]]. Created by [[Stan Lee]] and [[Jack Kirby]], the character first appeared in ''[[Tales to Astonish]]'' #44 (June [[1963]]).

After the character's 2008 death, [[Henry Pym]] became Marvel Comics' new Wasp.

Both versions are depicted as having the ability to shrink to a height of perhaps several centimeters, fly by means of insectoid wings (which appear only at small size), and fire energy blasts.

==Publication history==
Janet van Dyne debuted as [[Henry Pym|Henry "Hank" Pym's]] partner in ''Tales to Astonish'' 44 (Written by [[Stan Lee]] and drawn by [[Jack Kirby]]), originally only serving as his partner to avenge the death of her father, scientist Vernon van Dyne. Later in the same issue, she decides to stay with him, only because she is in love with him, wanting him to realize that he loves her back. They both realize their feelings for each other in ''Tales to Astonish'' #56, although it isn't until later in the series that they act on them.

During her run in ''Astonish'', van Dyne also joins ''[[Avengers (comics)|Avengers]]'' in its first issue, along with her partner, Hank Pym. It is on this team that Janet becomes most well known, at first the weak link of the team, but later on one of the smartest and craftiest members. She is the first one to propose to leave the team, after announcing how tired she is, and how she wants to return to a normal life.<ref name="The Avengers #16">''The Avengers'' #16</ref> However, she misses being a superhero, and she (along with Hank) returns to the team in issue #28. After marrying her husband in issue #60, Janet and Hank both later decide to leave the team in issue #75.

Hank becomes the main character of the series ''[[Marvel Feature]]'', starting with issue #4, and Janet appears as a second main character starting with issue #6. Both characters leave the book after issue #10, making sporadic guest appearances in various different other books at the time, presumably living a happily married life.

Janet misses being a superhero once again, and rejoins the Avengers in issue #137, right away getting injured. After being rescued by her husband and hospitalized, Janet recovers and joins the team along with Hank in issue #151. It is here where she begins her longest run as an Avengers member. After being brutally slapped in the face by her husband, she divorces him, and in turn becomes the new Chairman of the Avengers, starting with issue #217.

Janet later resigns as Chairman, and joins the [[West Coast Avengers]] in issue #32, at first only to help stabilize the team after [[Iron Man|Tony Stark]] leaves, and then to become a full time member starting with issue #42. Later in the run, she rekindles her old romance with Hank, and fully rejoins the Avengers.

===Design ===
In his 1970's run on ''The Avengers'', artist [[George Pérez]] revamped the character's costume a number of times having a significant impact on the character's development — {{cquote|It became a joke. In the case of the Wasp, I noticed that she has so many costumes that eventually I said "Why not?" I think I was on the book long enough what was once a just a little bit of idiosyncrasy about the character became fully part of the character's persona. <ref>{{cite book|last=Nolen-Weathington|first= Eric |coauthors=George Perez|title=Modern Masters Volume 2: George Perez|publisher=TwoMorrows Publishing|pages=128|isbn=978-1893905252}}</ref>}}

==Fictional character biography==
[[Image:Talestoastonish.jpg|left|200px|thumb|The Wasp's first appearance in ''Tales to Astonish'' #44. Art by [[Jack Kirby]].]]
===Origin===
'''Janet Van Dyne''' was born in [[Cresskill, New Jersey]]. She was initially a shallow, self-centered, flighty heiress and debutante, daughter of wealthy scientist Vernon Van Dyne. During an experiment, however, an alien monster was unleashed from an alternate dimension and Dr. Van Dyne was killed. Her father's associate, Dr. [[Henry Pym|Henry "Hank" Pym]], had created a substance called "Pym particles," which allowed the user to grow or shrink in size, and had become the superhero [[Henry Pym|Ant-Man]]. When Janet's father died, she convinced Pym to help her.<ref name="Tales to Astonish #44">''Tales to Astonish'' #44</ref> He gave her a supply of "Pym particles" and subjected her to a biochemical procedure which granted her the ability to, upon shrinking, grow wings and fire blasts of energy, which she called her "wasp's stings." As '''Ant-Man''' and '''The Wasp''', they defeated the monster, sent it to its own dimension, and had several more adventures together.<ref name="Tales to Astonish #44"/> Janet became Pym's partner and fell in love with Pym before their first adventure, but Pym rejected her at first, afraid of what would happen if he were to lose her, along with his first wife, whom was killed.<ref name="Tales to Astonish #44"/> Janet would openly muse about her apparently unrequited feelings, often in front of him.<ref>''Tales to Astonish'' #49</ref> Pym rejected his feelings for her, however he later accepted them,<ref>''Tales to Astonish'' #55</ref> and tried acting on them.<ref>''Tales to Astonish'' #56</ref> They both soon enough realized their feelings for each other, and began dating.<ref>''Tales to Astonish'' #65</ref>

===Avenger===
Soon afterwards, the superhero team, which Janet herself dubbed the [[Avengers (comics)|Avengers]], formed, and the pair were among its founding members.<ref>''The Avengers'' #1</ref> Still shallow, Janet frequently commented on the attractiveness of her male colleagues, especially [[Thor (Marvel Comics)|Thor]], in order to provoke jealousy from Pym. Never lacking for confidence or bravery and by nature an outgoing personality, Janet was always in the thick of their battles with villains, who included Norse gods and aliens. Early on in her Avengers career, she was wounded in battle against [[Count Nefaria]].<ref>''Avengers'' #13-14</ref> Although she and Hank took occasional leaves of absence,<ref name="The Avengers #16"/><ref>''The Avengers'' #75</ref> the two have almost always remained members, being on reserve when not on active duty. After their first leave of absence, she and Pym, as the first Goliath, rejoined the Avengers, and battled the [[Collector (comics)|Collector]].<ref>''Avengers'' #28</ref> During the course of their many adventures as Avengers, Janet grew as a person, becoming a resourceful and seasoned hero. Several years later, she would be elected leader of the team.{{Issue|date=June 2009}}

===Marrying Hank Pym===
[[Image:Waspjanet.jpg|thumb||180px| The Winsome Wasp captured by [[John Buscema]] as a sixties glamor girl.]]
The relationship between Janet and Pym had always been one of loving squabbling, but her wealth and his research had always stopped him from proposing.<ref>''The Avengers'' #57, 59-60</ref> One day, a cocky new costumed crime-fighter called Yellowjacket broke into Avengers HQ. He claimed to have disposed of Pym and even kidnapped Janet.<ref>''The Avengers'' #59</ref> To the outrage of her colleagues, Janet then married Yellowjacket.<ref name="The Avengers #60">''The Avengers'' #60</ref> A tension-filled wedding was made even more edgy by an attack by the [[Circus of Crime]]. During the fight it was discovered that Yellowjacket ''was'' Pym. He had had an accident with some chemicals causing a severe case of [[schizophrenia]]. Janet had realized this from very early on and had taken advantage to finally tie the knot.<ref name="The Avengers #60"/>

With Yellowjacket, she later left the Avengers.<ref>''Avengers'' #75</ref> With Pym, now as Ant-Man again, she became temporarily trapped at insect size, and battled [[Whirlwind (comics)|Whirlwind]], Para-Man, and Dr. Nemesis.<ref>''Marvel Feature'' Vol. 1 #6-10</ref> With Yellowjacket, she eventually rejoined the Avengers.<ref>''Avengers'' #137</ref> With [[Spider-Man]] and Yellowjacket, she battled [[Equinox (comics)|Equinox]]; her powers were augmented by Yellowjacket.<ref>''Marvel Team-Up'' #59-60</ref>

===Rocky times===
However, her relationship with Pym became rocky, as he suffered a further series of mental problems, exacerbated by the stress on his body of his frequent size changes and exposure to chemicals. This even led to him being easily brainwashed by [[Ultron]], in which he kidnapped Jan<ref>''The Avengers'' #161</ref> and used her brain patterns to create a wife for Ultron, [[Jocasta (comics)|Jocasta]].<ref>''The Avengers'' #162</ref> Janet later rejoined the Avengers without Pym.<ref>''Avengers'' #181</ref> Many years later, Pym had a complete breakdown, and became completely paranoid.<ref name="The Avengers #212">''The Avengers'' #212</ref> During the course of this breakdown, he became overbearing and verbally abusive.<ref name="The Avengers #212"/> At the nadir of his degeneration, he struck Janet, and then proceeded to concoct a plan to make himself look good in front of his teammates by staging an attack upon them which only he could stop.<ref>''The Avengers'' #213</ref> This plan backfired and Pym was exposed, disgraced, and expelled from the Avengers, and the couple separated.<ref>''The Avengers'' #214</ref> Janet divorced Pym soon after, and then became Avengers chairman; with the Avengers, she arrested Yellowjacket.<ref>''Avengers'' #217</ref> She eventually surrendered her Avengers chairmanship to the [[Vision (Marvel Comics)|Vision]].<ref>''Avengers'' #243</ref> She remained with the team despite these hardships, and even began dating other men, like [[Tony Stark]]{{Issue|date=June 2009}} and [[Paladin (comics)|Paladin]].{{Issue|date=June 2009}} With Paladin, she battled [[Baron Brimstone]],<ref>''Avengers'' #251</ref> and shortly thereafter she resumed her Avengers chairmanship.<ref>''Avengers'' #256</ref> Janet eventually stepped down as chairman again, and left the Avengers.<ref>''Avengers'' #278</ref> Pym later on joined the [[West Coast Avengers]], with Janet soon following.<ref>''West Coast Avengers'' #32</ref> Jan battled the threat of [[Red Ronin]] alone.<ref>''Solo Avengers'' #15</ref> Pym's mental state returned to normal, and the two became friends again, and later on resumed their romantic relationship.<ref>''West Coast Avengers'' #42</ref> Jan was elected as a regular member of the Avengers West, but chose to become a reserve member.<ref>''Avengers West Coast'' #69</ref> Some few years later, the two returned to the regular Avengers.{{Issue|date=June 2009}} On a trip to Las Vegas, however, she turned down his proposal, saying she wouldn't marry him again.<ref>''The Avengers'' vol. 3 #71</ref> She had a brief fling with fellow team member [[Hawkeye (comics)|Hawkeye]] but returned to Hank.{{Issue|date=June 2009}}

===Avengers Disassembled===
While discussing her fling with Hawkeye to the [[Scarlet Witch]], a slightly tipsy Wasp confessed to a pregnancy scare and inadvertently mentioned Wanda's own children,{{Citation needed|date=June 2009}} whose unnatural existence [[Agatha Harkness]] had kindly erased from the Witch's memory. The Wasp's slip of the tongue, combined with [[Scarlet Witch]]'s increasingly unstable and growing powers, caused Wanda to suffer a mental breakdown which led to the events of ''''[[Avengers Disassembled]]''''. Janet was knocked into a coma by a rampaging [[She-Hulk]] during an attack on Avengers Mansion by the [[Scarlet Witch]]. Hank watched over her as she lay in the hospital, and when she recovered, they reconciled. The two retired from the Avengers in order to pursue a new life together in [[Oxford]].''{{Issue|date=June 2009}}

The Wasp reappeared with Pym in the miniseries ''[[Beyond!]]''. He is at this point still her ex-husband and over the course of the events chronicled in this series, it is revealed that they had called off their most recent attempt at a romantic relationship, although they remain on good terms.{{Issue|date=June 2009}}

===Civil War===
{{Main|Civil War (comics)}}
With the onset of the superhuman Civil War, Hank has helped spearhead the pro-registration movement. Janet is also pro-registration, although she was very upset about the murder of her friend [[Bill Foster (comics)|Bill Foster]], and has become the host of a pro-registration reality show called ''America's Newest Superhero''.{{Issue|date=June 2009}}

===Mighty Avengers===
When selecting the roster for the latest incarnation of the Avengers team, this time as part of the [[Fifty State Initiative]], [[Iron Man|Tony Stark]] selected Janet as a founding member of the [[Mighty Avengers]]. When alien symbiotes attacked New York, Janet used a refined growth formula given to her by Hank Pym which allowed her to shift to giant-size without side effects. During the beginning of the fight, she was briefly turned into a symbiote monster before a cure was created by Stark.{{Issue|date=June 2009}}

At this point, Hank had been replaced by a [[Skrulls|Skrull]], and the growth formula was part of a grander plan.

===Secret Invasion===
{{Main|Secret Invasion}}
Janet was among the Mighty Avengers who were fighting heroes from the Skrull ship. She is later seen with the rest of the Avengers heading to New York to confront the Skrulls. While fighting the Skrulls, the true purpose of the serum that the Skrull Hank Pym gave her is revealed. After Queen Veranke is thought dead, Skrull Pym hits a button that makes Jan increase in size rapidly. She realizes the "new" particles Pym gave her are turning her into a bio-bomb. Jan is seen growing to huge size, emitting black-purple energy, and about to explode. Janet tries to flee the battlefield and take as many Skrulls with her. To save the humans, Thor kills her to put her out of her misery, vowing to avenge her.<ref>''Secret Invasion'' #8</ref> After her death, Hank Pym resolves to take up his fallen wife's mantle and becomes the Wasp.<ref>''Mighty Avengers'' #21 (February 2009)</ref>

When [[Hercules (Marvel Comics)|Hercules]] ventures into the underworld, he encounters Janet's spirit in [[Erebus]], the place in between life and death where those who feel they still have business in the mortal world linger and gamble for their resurrection. Janet was seen stubbornly working a slot machine in search of a win.<ref>''Incredible Hercules'' #129</ref>

==Powers and abilities==
Making use of the cellular implantation of sub-atomic Pym particles, the Wasp possesses the power to alter her physical size, causing her body's mass to be shunted to or gained from an alternate dimension known as Kosmos. She is able to shrink to a minimum of half an inch or grow to a maximum of several hundred feet. Smaller or larger sizes are possible but the exertion begins to put a strain on her body. Initially, these abilities stemmed from use of a Pym particle gas released from special capsules, and later biochemical augmentation by Henry Pym. Over time, however, her body has absorbed enough particles to cause cellular mutation due to repeated exposure to Pym particles to allow her to alter her size at will.

At miniature size, her strength level increases as her body's mass is compacted. At giant size, her strength and endurance increase geometrically with her height, reaching superhuman levels. Despite the advantages of giant size, Janet usually prefers to remain the diminutive Wasp, calling on her growth power only in times of extreme emergency.

At miniature size, the Wasp grows a pair of translucent insect wings from her back, a result of genetic modifications provided by Hank Pym. These grant her the power of flight, at speeds up to {{convert|40|mi/h|km/h|abbr=on}}.

The Wasp is able to harness and augment her body's natural bio-electric energy, releasing it from her hands in powerful electrical force bursts, which she calls her "stinger blasts" or "wasp's stings." Originally, she required special wrist devices to produce these but again, Pym particle absorption has allowed her to create the ability unaided.

The Wasp's genetic modifications also grant her the ability to sprout small prehensile antennae from her temples which allow her to telepathically communicate with and control insects. However, this is an ability which she rarely uses.

Van Dyne has also displayed several non-superhuman abilities that have garnered her special fame and attention, foremost of which is her fashion sense; in nearly all of her early appearances, she sported a new costume, presumably designed and manufactured on her own as she is a gifted fashion designer. She is also a skilled amateur screenwriter. The Wasp was trained in unarmed combat by Captain America and in combat utilizing her special powers by Henry Pym. In addition, The Wasp is one of the most intuitive, if not deductive, members of the Avengers, and is an experienced leader and strategist. She effectively deduced that a chemical accident created a schizophrenic break in [[Henry Pym]],<ref>''The Avengers'' #59-60</ref> the relationship between the [[Scarlet Witch]] and the [[Vision (Marvel Comics)|Vision]] was the result of the infused personality of [[Wonder Man]],{{Issue|date=June 2009}} and guessed the identity of [[Iron Man]] at a time when Tony Stark faked his own death.{{Issue|date=June 2009}}

==Other versions==
===MC2===
In the alternate future of the "[[MC2]]" universe, Hank and Janet would end up giving birth to two children: Hope Pym/Red Queen and Henry Pym Jr./Big Man. Giant-Man would later perish on the last mission of the original Avengers, with The Wasp dying of a broken heart. Their parents' deaths motivate Red Queen to form the [[Revengers]]. Big Man, a one time member, however, joins a government reform team.{{Issue|date=June 2009}}

===Marvel Adventures===
The ''[[Marvel Adventures Avengers|Marvel Adventures: The Avengers]]'' series (set in its own continuity) features Janet Van Dyne as '''Giant-Girl''', showcasing her ability to grow rather than shrink, which she uses in combat. She is younger than her main universe counterpart and she cracks jokes along with her teammate [[Spider-Man]]. Issue 13 of the series reveals her origin as a wealthy socialite given access to size-changing Pym particles by scientist Henry Pym (here an employee of Janet's father, rather than a superhero). Janet does not appear to have ever used her Wasp identity in this version. It has been revealed that Janet can shrink to wasp size but she sees no point in being tiny. Her maximum size is unknown but she has grown tall enough to catch a school. Instead of having her powers naturally, Janet requires a suit powered by Pym particles to change her size. Like her [[Earth-616]] counterpart, Janet seems to change her costume regularly. Originally she wore a skin-tight full body suit that accurately accentuates all her curves along with her muscles and primarily purple with some blue costume with a mask that was similar to that of Giant-Man. It included the antennae (although she never used them). They left her vulnerable to insect mind control as seen in issue 13. Her second costume was primarily blue with some purple set in a v-pattern from her waist running all the way to her posterior regions and lacks a mask or antennae. A recent preview of Marvel Adventures the Avengers 19 has shown her wearing a costume which is primarily blue but has gold/yellow. Whether this costume increases her maximum size is yet to be seen. She has also mentioned that she has at least two brothers although they have never been seen or given any names (see Marvel Adventures the Avengers #3).

===Marvel Zombies===
The [[Marvel Zombies]] series features an alternate Wasp as one of the main characters. She is now a zombie, another victim of the virus that has infected nearly all of her world's superhumans. After Earth's human population is almost entirely devoured, Wasp is one of the zombies who finally kills (and consumes) [[Alternate versions of Magneto#Marvel Zombies|Magneto]].{{Issue|date=June 2009}}

The Wasp then discovers that Hank Pym has kept a secret food supply—a sedated and maimed [[Black Panther (comics)#Marvel Zombies|Black Panther]], held prisoner in Hank's lab. She confronts Hank but he decapitates her by increasing in size and biting her head off in the struggle that followed. When the Black Panther later escapes the lab, he also takes the Wasp's head—still 'alive', but helpless. He eventually reaches safety, encountering Magneto's surviving [[Acolytes (comics)#Marvel Zombies|Acolytes]]. The Acolytes announce that they will study the Wasp, seeking a cure for the virus.{{Issue|date=June 2009}}

An epilogue, five years later, shows the Wasp exploring the deserted Earth alongside the Acolytes. Her severed head is now sealed within a liquid-filled helmet, controlling a robotic body.{{Issue|date=June 2009}}

Forty years later in "[[Marvel Zombies 2]]", her head is now fixed on a more advanced machine with her head exposed to the air. She also develops romantic feelings towards one of the Acolyte survivors, a scientist named Reynolds. As she indicates, forty years with the Acolytes is far longer then the time she has spent with Hank. At one point, the two share a kiss.{{Issue|date=June 2009}}

A long period without feeding seems to have completely cured her of the hunger. Now Black Panther's adviser and friend, she is forced to infect him when an Acolyte assassin attempts to kill him. This incident is orchestrated by Malcolm Cortez, the son of [[Fabian Cortez]], who wants to take leadership from Black Panther. When the hunger resurfaces, she nearly eats Panther's wife before being stopped by him. Instead, they eat the assassin and they state they will go into isolation in order to control their hunger. This is a success. Multiple powered zombies soon threaten the colony. Wasp fights alongside Panther, Hawkeye (who, too, had been decapitated and was inhabiting Janet's own former cybernetic body), Forge and a reformed Luke Cage and Spider-Man to save the people of New Wakanda from Firelord, Giant Man, Wolverine, Gladiator, Hulk, Jean Grey and Iron Man, who are seeking to finish off humanity, and retain the inter-dimensional portal so they can enter a new universe. Eventually, the zombies discover, as Janet did, that the Hunger fades with time, and they stop their rampage, only to have their numbers halved by the Hulk. Janet, along with the other remaining zombies; the new Colonel America, Spider-Man, Luke Cage, Giant Man, Wolverine and Black Panther, end up teleported to another universe by Malcolm Cortez.{{Issue|date=June 2009}}

===Ultimate Wasp===
In the [[Ultimate Marvel]] continuity, Janet Pym is a 26-year-old <ref name="ultimatesissue10">{{Comic book reference | Title = Ultimates | Issue = 10 | Date = July 2003 | Publisher = [[Marvel Comics]] | }}</ref> [[Mutant (Marvel Comics)|mutant]].<ref name="ultimatesissue6">{{Comic book reference | Title = Ultimates | Issue = 6 | Date = July 2003 | Publisher = [[Marvel Comics]] | }}</ref> and a member of the [[Ultimates]]. She holds two PhDs (one known to be in molecular biology{{Citation needed|date=November 2009}}) and is portrayed as being of some [[Asian people|Asian]] descent<ref name="ultimatesissue4">{{Comic book reference | Title = Ultimates | Issue = 4 | Date = June 2002 | Publisher = [[Marvel Comics]] | }}</ref><ref>[http://www.reappropriate.com/aaheroes/marvel.php]</ref>.

She is moderately fluent in German. Her mutant status remains hidden from the public but is known by Hank Pym and S.H.I.E.L.D. She can generate a glittering wasp-like sting which she discharges through her hands.<ref name="ultimatesissue6">{{Comic book reference | Title = Ultimates | Issue = 6 | Date = June 2002 | Publisher = [[Marvel Comics]] | }}</ref><ref name="ultimatesissue5">{{Comic book reference | Title = Ultimates | Issue = 5 | Date = July 2002 | Publisher = [[Marvel Comics]] | }}</ref><ref name="ultimates2issue11">{{Comic book reference | Title = Ultimates | Issue = 11 | Date = July 2006 | Publisher = [[Marvel Comics]] | }}</ref> Her bio-electric blast famously took out the Hulk during his New York massacre.<ref name="ultimatesissue5"/> Side-effects of her insectoid genetics include the occasional consumption of bugs, forming her own larval nests, and laying egg-like constructs.<ref name="ultimatesissue6"/>

During her college years, she shared a room with [[Betty Ross Banner|Betty Ross]] and started seeing Henry Pym. He was abusive to her early in their relationship and during college is known to have hit her at least twice, putting her head through a door on one occasion and splitting the roof of her mouth on another. Betty Ross can also recall instances where Janet was missing chunks of hair. Jan also suffered from severe [[bulimia nervosa|bulimia]] prior to joining the Ultimates. <ref name="ultimates3issue2">{{Comic book reference | Title = Ultimates 3 | Issue = 2 |date= January 2008 | Publisher = [[Marvel Comics]] | }}</ref>

Hank's attempts at change through medication and enlistment in the Ultimates did not improve his behavior. As a result of his humiliating loss against [[Hulk (comics)|the Hulk]] and simmering jealousy against Jan's friendship with [[Captain America]], Henry and Jan fought viciously until Janet resorted to stinging him and Hank commanding an army of ants against her. Janet was found in a state of [[anaphylaxis|anaphylactic shock]], caused by receiving multiple ant stings she received while at wasp-size. Captain America, upon learning of Hank's violence, tracked him down and beat him unconscious. Captain America's visits to Jan after the fight left her exasperated and angry, stemming more from embarrassment of her personal life becoming public.{{Issue|date=June 2009}}

After stopping the Chitauri invasion, Captain America and the Wasp reconciled as friends and slowly started dating, despite Hank Pym's attempts at making amends. On one of their secret meetings, Jan later confessed to Hank, now classified as a security risk by SHIELD, that the generation gap between Captain America and herself, along with the elderly status of his friends, put a large strain on their relationship. She recently walked out on Steve and met up with Hank in a bar.{{Issue|date=June 2009}}

The invasion of America by the [[Liberators (comics)|Liberators]] failed to take Janet into account. They discounted the possibility that someone whose only ability is to make herself "smaller and weaker" could be a threat. By the time they found her, Janet had made her way to the cells in the [[Ultimates#Headquarters|Triskelion]] where Captain America was being held under suspicion of murdering [[Hawkeye (comics)|Hawkeye's]] entire family. Soldiers working for the Liberators entered his cell and found two [[metahuman]] signatures. At first, Janet was easily subdued, but they failed to realize that she had already liberated her boyfriend. Captain America easily beat the [[Schizoid Man]], but stopped fighting when several super soldiers threatened to tear Jan apart. However, Jan surprised them all by using her stinging powers at her normal size for the first time, killing or incapacitating all of the super soldiers at once.{{Issue|date=June 2009}}

At some point, Hank gave the Wasp a dose of the ''Giant-Man Serum'' giving her the power to grow to gigantic proportions. Larger in size, Janet helped turn the tide in favor of American forces and crushed [[Swarm (comics)|Swarm]] with one stomp of her foot. It is yet to be seen whether Janet can grow at will or whether this was a one off.{{Issue|date=June 2009}}

She is the new leader of the team in the "''Ultimates 3''" miniseries and now sports a crimson and gold outfit and a mask. After the flood in [[Ultimatum (comics)|Ultimatum]], she is missing. Both Hank Pym and Hawkeye search for her. Hawkeye finds her being eaten by the [[Blob (comics)|Blob]]. The comic came out 1 month after Ultimate Wasp's Earth-616 counterpart's death.<ref>''Ultimatum'' #2</ref>

Before his death, Pym tells the other heroes to take Janet's body to his lab and activate "the [[Jocasta (comics)|Jocasta]] project".<ref>''Ultimatum'' #3</ref>

The '''Green Hornet''' is a [[fiction]]al [[secret identity|masked]] [[crime fighter]]. Originally created by [[George W. Trendle]] and [[Fran Striker]] for an American [[old-time radio|radio program]] in the 1930s, the character has appeared in other media as well, including [[Serial film|film serials]] in the 1940s, a network television program in the 1960s, and multiple comic book series from the 1940s to the 1990s. Though various incarnations sometimes change details, in most incarnations the Green Hornet is '''Britt Reid''', a newspaper publisher by day who by night goes out in his masked "Green Hornet" identity to fight crime as a [[vigilante]], accompanied by his similarly masked Asian manservant [[Kato (The Green Hornet)|Kato]] and driving a car, equipped with advanced technology, called "Black Beauty". The Green Hornet is often portrayed as possessing fair to above average [[hand-to-hand combat]] skills and is often armed with a gun that sprays knock-out gas (a sonic blast weapon called the "Hornet's Sting" was added to his arsenal for the TV series).

Originally, the show was to be called ''The Hornet'', but the name was changed to ''The Green Hornet'' so that it could be more easily trademarked. The color was chosen because green [[hornet]]s were reputed to be the angriest.

One relatively minor aspect of the character which tends to be given limited exposure in the actual productions is his blood relationship to [[The Lone Ranger]], another character created by Striker. The Lone Ranger's nephew was Dan Reid. In the Green Hornet radio shows, the Hornet's father was likewise named Dan Reid, making the hero the Ranger's great-nephew.

The [[Western (genre)|Western]] property was sold to another company in the 1950s, a legal complication that resulted in the identity of the Masked Rider of the Plains being obscured when it has been dealt with at all in Green Hornet depictions (though a comic book from [[NOW Comics]] later displayed the Hornet's living room as being decorated with a painting of a man dressed very similarly to the Lone Ranger; the radio series had expressly indicated the presence of such a portrait there).

During [[World War II]], the radio show's title was used as a [[codename]] for [[SIGSALY]], secret encryption equipment used in the war. "The Green Hornet" also became a popular nickname for Lieutenant-General [[George S. Patton#Ardennes offensive|George S. Patton]], due to the unique and attention-getting uniform that he proposed for tank crews, which featured a gold-painted football helmet. Supposedly, while Patton was testing it after development (which he funded out of his own pocket), one Army trooper said "Look! It's the Green Hornet!" and the name followed Patton for years{{Citation needed|date=May 2007}}.

== Radio series ==

The character premiered in ''The Green Hornet'', an [[United States|American]] [[radio program]] that ran on [[WXYT (AM)|WXYZ]] (the same local [[Detroit]] station which originated [[The Lone Ranger]]), the [[Mutual Broadcasting System]] and the network known through its succession of various owners as [[NBC|NBC Blue]], the [[Blue Network]] and the [[American Broadcasting Company#Creating ABC|ABC Network]] from January 31, 1936 to December 5, 1952.

The series detailed the adventures of Britt Reid, debonair newspaper publisher by day, crime-fighting masked hero at night:

:''With his faithful valet Kato, Britt Reid, daring young publisher, matches wits with the Underworld, risking his life so that criminal and racketeers within the law may feel its weight by the sting of the Green Hornet!''

:During [[World War II]], this was changed to:

::''... matches wits with racketeers and saboteurs, risking his life so that criminals and enemy spies will feel the weight of the law by the sting of the Green Hornet!''

After the revving of the Black Beauty motor, the announcer would then say:

:''Ride with Britt Reid in the thrilling adventure ''[title of episode inserted]''! The Green Hornet strikes again!''

When the series first began in 1936, this was originally:

:''Ride with Britt Reid as he races toward another thrilling adventure! The Green Hornet strikes again!''

and after the thrumming of the hornet sound, Britt Reid would then call out:

:''"Hurry, Kato! Here's where we smash a ''[type of criminal operation featured in the episode inserted]'' [[Racket (crime)|racket]]!"''

The opening sequence of the radio show originally began with the announcer proclaiming that the Green Hornet "hunts the biggest of all game ... public enemies that even the G-Men cannot reach," referring to [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] agents. Bureau chief [[J. Edgar Hoover]] objected to the line's implication that some crime fighting was beyond the abilities of the FBI, and it was changed to "public enemies who try to destroy our America."<ref>[[Jim Harmon|Harmon, Jim]], ''The Great Radio Heroes'', [[Doubleday (publisher)|Doubleday and Co.]], 1967, p.224.</ref>

The vigilante nature of his operation quickly resulted in his being declared an outlaw himself, and Britt Reid decided to play to it. The Green Hornet became thought of as one of his city's biggest criminals, allowing him to walk into suspected racketeers' offices and ply them for information, or even demand a cut of their profits.

He would be accompanied by his similarly masked but unnamed chauffeur/[[bodyguard]]/enforcer, who was also Reid's valet, [[Kato (The Green Hornet)|Kato]], initially described as [[Japanese people|Japanese]], and eventually as [[Filipino people|Filipino]]. A widespread urban legend has been the claim that the show's writers switched from one nationality to the other immediately after the December 1941 attack on [[Pearl Harbor]] by the [[Empire of Japan]], but in fact this happened well before direct U.S. involvement in the war.

Specifically, in and up to 1939, in the series' opening narration, Kato was called Britt Reid's "Japanese valet" and from 1940 to '45 he was Reid's "faithful valet" there. However, in June of 1941, in the episode "Walkout for Profit," about 14 minutes into the episode, Reid specifically noted Kato having a Philippine origin and thus he became Reid's "Filipino valet" as of that point.<ref>radio episode "Walkout for Profit", ''The Green Hornet Collection'', Volume 2, Tape 1, Side B, [[Wireless (company)|Wireless]], 1995 (original airdate: 21 June 1941, [[Blue Network]]).</ref> When the characters were used in the first of a pair of [[Serial (film)|movie serials]], the politically perceptive producers of 1939 had Kato's nationality given as [[Koreans|Korean]].

=== Music ===

The radio show used [[Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov]]'s "[[Flight of the Bumblebee]]" as its theme music, blended with a hornet buzz created on a [[theremin]], and "The Infernal Dance of King Koshchei" from [[Igor Stravinsky]]'s ''[[The Firebird]]'', usually used after this announced part:

:''Stepping through a secret panel in the rear of the closet in his bedroom, Britt Reid and Kato went along a narrow passageway built within the walls of the apartment itself. This passage led to an adjoining building which fronted on a dark side street. Though supposedly abandoned, this building served as the hiding place for the sleek, super-powered "Black Beauty", streamlined car of The Green Hornet.'' [Sound of Reid and Kato getting into car] ''Britt Reid pressed a button.'' [Sound of car starting] ''The great car roared into life.'' [Sound of revving engine] ''A section of the wall in front raised automatically, then closed as the gleaming "Black Beauty" sped into the darkness.'' [Sound of engine roaring and car driving away]

Other famous classical works used as incidental music for the series included [[Hector Berlioz]]'s ''[[Symphonie fantastique]]''. [[Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky]]'s ''[[Symphony No. 6 (Tchaikovsky)|Pathetique Symphony]]'', [[Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov|Rimsky-Korsakov]]'s ''[[Scheherazade (Rimsky-Korsakov)|Scheherazade]]'', [[Ludwig van Beethoven]]'s ''[[Symphony No. 6 (Beethoven)|Pastoral Symphony]]'', [[Paul Dukas]]' ''[[The Sorcerer's Apprentice]]'', [[Antonin Dvorak]]'s ''[[Symphony No. 9 (Dvorak)|New World Symphony]]''. [[Modest Mussorgsky]]'s ''[[Night on Bald Mountain]]'' and the ''Overture'' to [[Richard Wagner]]'s ''[[The Flying Dutchman (opera)|The Flying Dutchman]]''.

=== Relationship to The Lone Ranger ===

Britt Reid is a blood relative of [[The Lone Ranger]]. The character of Dan Reid, who appeared on the Lone Ranger program as the Masked Man's nephew, was also featured on the Green Hornet as Britt Reid's father, making the Green Hornet the great-nephew of the Lone Ranger.

Confirming this was the November 11, 1947, radio show episode "Too Hot to Handle": After his secret identity was uncovered in a previous episode, "Exposed" (broadcast October 28, 1947), by Linda Travers, a novice reporter secretly hired by Britt's father to check up on him, Britt told his father Dan that he was the masked Green Hornet. After his initial shock and anger, Dan Reid referred to a "pioneer ancestor" of Britt's that he himself had ridden alongside with in Texas, a man who rode a horse and acted as a vigilante, and expressed his pride in and love for his son. As he explained this, the Lone Ranger theme briefly played in the background.<ref>radio episode "Too Hot to Handle," ''The Green Hornet'', November 11, 1947, [[American Broadcasting Company#Creating ABC|ABC]] radio network</ref>

=== Actors ===

The Green Hornet was played by:
* [[Al Hodge]] (who later went on to play television's [[Captain Video]]) (1936-1943, 1945)
* [[Donovan Faust]] (1943-1944)
* [[Robert Hall (radio)|Robert Hall]] (1945-1947)
* [[John Edward McCarthy|Jack McCarthy]] (1947-1952).

The role of Kato was originated by [[Raymond Hayashi]] but handled through most of the run by [[Roland Parker]], who also voiced "The Newsboy" at the conclusion of each episode who hawked the "Extra" edition of ''The Sentinel'' that carried the story of the weekly racket or spy ring being smashed, concluding with:

:''"Read all about it! Green Hornet still at large! Sentinel Ex-tree, paper!"''

[[Mickey Tolan]] was the radio series' final Kato.

[[James Jewell|Jim Jewell]] directed the series until 1938.

Various WXYZ staff announcers served as narrator of ''The Green Hornet,'' most notably [[Mike Wallace (journalist)|Mike Wallace]].

=== Other characters ===

Other major characters in the radio series included:
*Britt Reid's secretary Lenore Case, known as "Casey" and formerly secretary to Britt's father before Britt took over as publisher of ''The Daily Sentinel'', was played by Jim Jewell's sister, [[Lee Allman]] (Lenore Jewell Allman), the only actress to play Lenore Case during the entire run of the series. Lee wanted to play a part in a radio series at WXYZ so Jim had her written into ''The Green Hornet''. Miss Case made no secret of her admiration of the Green Hornet, was loyal to Britt but sometimes exasperated by his "playboy" ways and was the only one who could verbally put down Mike Axford. She became aware of her boss' double life only in the later years of the run (specifically in the episode "Miss Case Keeps a Secret", February 17, 1948).
* Mike Axford (originated by and played by [[James H. Irwin (actor)|Jim Irwin]] until his death in July of 1938, then played for most of the series by [[Gilbert Shea (actor)|Gil Shea]]), a bombastic former policeman who originally had been hired by Britt Reid's father as a bodyguard for Britt, but who drifted into becoming a reporter for ''The Daily Sentinel'' by virtue of his contacts at Police Headquarters (especially his best friend Sergeant Burke, known usually as "Sarge"). He was the most dedicated pursuer of the Green Hornet (while expressing his admiration for the Hornet's ability to both smash criminals and elude the authorities). He was known for his pet phrases "Holy Crow!" and "Sufferin' Snakes!" and his usual parting phrase "See ya later. So long!"

:When Irwin fell ill in mid-December 1936, Mike Axford was wriiten out of the series for a few weeks by being shot and wounded in the line of duty until Irwin returned in mid-January 1937. Irwin suffered a stroke in January 1938 and was forced to leave the series, causing the Axford character to be written out with the explanation that Axford had been ordered by Dan Reid to return to the West Coast. The character's "space" was filled by Michael Axford's brother Timothy in October 1938 but was dropped in April 1939 with no explanation, and Mike Axford officially returned (played by Gil Shea) in the July 4, 1939 episode "Put It On Ice".
* Gunnigan, the irascible city editor of ''The Daily Sentinel'' (whose temper invariably got worse in the presence of Axford or even when Axford was talking to him on the phone).
* Ed Lowery (played by [[Jack Petruzzi]]), one of ''The Sentinel'''s best reporters, who also admired the Hornet.
* Marjorie "Clicker" Binney, a photographer for ''The Sentinel'' who usually teamed up with Lowery on news assignments and filled in as Britt Reid's secretary on those occasions when Lenore Case was away (usually only known as and referred to as "Clicker", her first name was revealed in the June 29, 1939 episode "Pavement Condemned").

:When "Clicker"'s character was written out of the series (in the February 28, 1943 episode "The Corpse That Wasn't There", a letter from "Clicker" states that she has become a Second Officer in the [[Women's Army Corps|WACS]] stationed in North Africa), her place was filled in 1942 by Gale Manning, whose southern drawl and "dumb southern belle" manner (which didn't fool Britt Reid but which totally irritated both Lowery and Axford, especially when she managed to get information or stories that neither man could) hid both her intelligence and her ability as a top-notch reporter. After Gale's character left the series, Lenore Case herself sometimes joined either Lowery or Axford on assignments.

*Another confidant, Police Commissioner James Higgins, did not come into existence until near the end of the series; he was introduced in the November 11, 1947 episode "Too Hot to Handle" as an old friend of Dan Reid's who was being blackmailed and who was rescued by the Green Hornet. Shortly thereafter, either Dan Reid or Britt himself confided the Hornet's secret identity to Higgins.

Two major foes for The Green Hornet were the mysterious "Mr. X", a criminal mastermind introduced in the episode "Walkout for Profit" (broadcast June 21, 1941) who became part of a storyline in 1941 pitting the Hornet against him in an ongoing battle, and Oliver Perry (1945-49), a famous but unscrupulous private detective who repeatedly returned to try and unmask The Green Hornet. Perry suspected Britt Reid of being the Hornet but was never able to prove it, and episodes featuring him always ended with the Hornet either outwitting him or humiliating him, if not both, to the point where he was forced to leave town.

{{Main|The Green Hornet (serial)}}
{{Main|The Green Hornet Strikes Again!}}
''The Green Hornet'' was adapted into two [[Serial film|movie serials]]. Disliking the treatment [[Republic Pictures|Republic]] gave ''The Lone Ranger'' in [[The Lone Ranger#Film Serials|two serials]], [[George W. Trendle]] took his Number 2 property to [[Universal Studios|Universal Pictures]], and he was much happier with the results. The first serial, titled simply ''[[The Green Hornet (serial)|The Green Hornet]]'' and released in [[1940 in film|1940]], starred [[Gordon Jones (actor)|Gordon Jones]] in the title role, albeit dubbed by original radio Hornet [[Al Hodge]] whenever the hero's mask was in place, while ''[[The Green Hornet Strikes Again!]]'' of [[1941 in film|1941]] starred [[Warren Hull]]. [[Keye Luke]], the famous #1 son of the [[Charlie Chan#Film adaptations|Charlie Chan]] films, played Kato in both; also starring in both serials were [[Anne Nagel]] as "Lenore Case" and [[Wade Boteler]] as "Mike Axford". Even though America wasn't in the war yet, Kato's nationality is changed to Korean. [[Ford Beebe]] directed both serials, partnered by [[Ray Taylor (director)|Ray Taylor]] on ''The Green Hornet'' and [[John Rawlins (director)|John Rawlins]] on ''The Green Hornet Strikes Again'', with [[George H. Plympton]] and [[Basil Dickey]] contributing to the screenplays for both serials. ''The Green Hornet'' ran for 13 chapters while ''The Green Hornet Strikes Again'' had 15 installments, and in both serials the plotlines followed the radio series style, with the Hornet and Kato smashing a different racket in each chapter. In each serial, they were all linked to a single major crime syndicate which was itself put out of business in the finale, while the radio program had the various rackets completely independent of each other.

=== Television ===
{{Main|The Green Hornet (TV series)}}

'''The Green Hornet''' was a TV show on the [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] US television network. It aired for the 1966-1967 television season and starred [[Van Williams]] as the ''Green Hornet''/Britt Reid, and [[Bruce Lee]] as [[Kato (The Green Hornet)|Kato]].

=== Comic books ===
==== Early comics ====


Green Hornet [[comic book]]s began in December 1940. These, initially titled ''Green Hornet Comics'', were originally published by Helnit Comics, sometimes called [[Holyoke Publishing|Holyoke]], with the writing attributed to [[Fran Striker]]. This series ended after six issues. Several months later, [[Harvey Comics]] launched their own version, beginning with issue #7. This series ended in 1949, having run to 47 issues. (The title was changed to ''Green Hornet Fights Crime'' as of issue #34 and ''Green Hornet, Racket Buster'' with issue #44). Harvey additionally used the character in the public-service one-shot, ''War Victory Comics'' in 1942,<ref>[http://www.comics.org/details.lasso?id=2281 ''War Victory Comics'' at [[Grand Comics Database]]]</ref> and gave him one adventure in each of two issues of ''All-New Comics'', #13, where he was also featured on the cover,<ref>[http://www.comics.org/details.lasso?id=5265 ''All-New Comics'' #13 at [[Grand Comics Database]]]</ref> and #14,<ref>[http://www.comics.org/Details.lasso?id=5613 ''All-New Comics'' #14 at [[Grand Comics Database]]]</ref> in 1946. [[Dell Comics]] published a one-shot with the character, officially entitled ''[[Four Color]]'' #496, in 1953, inexplicably several months after the radio series ceased production.<ref>[http://www.comics.org/details.lasso?id=10482 ''Four Color'' #496 at [[Grand Comics Database]]]</ref> Both stories therein share titles with late-era radio episodes ("The Freightyard Robberies," June 23, 1949, and "[The] Proof of Treason," October 17, 1952) and might well be adaptations. In 1967 [[Gold Key Comics]] produced a series based on the TV show, which reflected that program's short life with a brief three-issue run.

==== NOW Comics ====

Beginning in 1989, [[NOW Comics]] produced a line of Green Hornet comics, initially written by [[Ron Fortier]] and illustrated by [[Jeff Butler]]. Inspired by the aforementioned Lone Ranger connection of radio days, they attempted to reconcile the different versions of the character into a multi-generational epic. There was even a portrait of the Ranger in the Reid family's mansion, though due to the legal separation of the two properties, his mask covered his entire face (as in the [[Republic Pictures|Republic]] [[Serial (film)|serials]]) and he could not be called by name.<ref>[[Will Murray|Murray, Will]], "Where Hornets Swarm," ''[[Comics Scene (magazine)|Comics Scene]]'' #9, (October) 1989, [[Starlog|Starlog Communications International, Inc.]], p. 41</ref> In this interpretation, the Britt of the radio series had fought crime as the Hornet in the 1930s and 1940s before retiring. In NOW's first story in the line, back-dated to 1945 (in Vol. 1, #1, November 1989), the original [[Kato (The Green Hornet)|Kato]] (named in the comic series Ikano Kato)'s nationality is revealed to be Japanese, but that because of the political/popular feeling of that time against the Japanese and through Britt Reid's efforts, this had been hidden and officially Kato was "Filipino", thus preventing him from being sent to an American [[internment]] camp. A shocking twist to the comic series' modern-day storyline is that Britt Reid is murdered in Vol. 1, #5, March 1990, on the orders of mob-heiress Angela DeVane and at that very moment back in Japan, Ikano Kato suddenly awakens from a deep sleep, telling his wife sorrowfully, "My friend is dead."

The television character was revealed to be the namesake nephew of the original Britt Reid, referred to as "Britt Reid II" in the genealogy, who took up his uncle's mantle after his friend, an up-and-coming political reformer, is assassinated. In the comic, '''his''' nephew, Paul Reid, a concert pianist, takes on the role of the Hornet after his older brother Alan is killed on his very first mission and is assisted by a new, female Kato trained by Ikano Kato.

The addition of the female character, Mishi Kato (the much younger half-sister of the 60s version), caused problems between the publishers and the property's owners, who withdrew approval of that character and mandated the return of "the Bruce Lee Kato",<ref>[[Diane Piron|Piron, Diane]], "The Buzz Word" (letter column), ''The Green Hornet'', Vol. 1, #13, November 1990, [[NOW Comics]].</ref> named in the comic series Hayashi Kato (Fortier took this from the surname of the first actor to play the role on radio<ref>[[Will Murray (writer)|Murray, Will]], "Where Hornets Swarm," ''[[Comics Scene (magazine)|Comics Scene]]'', #9, (October) 1989, [[Starlog|Starlog Communications International, Inc.]], p.42.</ref>) and revealed to be Ikano Kato's son. Hayashi Kato had become a famous star in ninja movies after Britt Reid II's Green Hornet retired due to a heart attack, and returned to become "Kato" to Britt II's nephew Alan when he became the Green Hornet. When the neophyte vigilante was killed in an explosion on his very first mission, Hayashi blamed himself and fell into a period of [[alcoholism]] from which he finally emerged to see Paul Reid and Mishi don the masks. After Mishi's departure he again became "Kato" to Paul's Green Hornet in Vol. 1, #11, September 1991.

Mishi Kato's sudden departure in Vol. 1, #10, August 1991, was explained as orders from her father to travel to Zurich, Switzerland, to replace an injured automobile designer at a facility of the Kato family corporation, Nippon Today. However, Mishi Kato returned in the second series (begun in September 1991) as "The Crimson Wasp" on a mission of bloody vengeance against the criminal leader calling himself Johnny Dollar, who had had her fiancé (a Swiss police officer) and his daughter (from a previous marriage) murdered, an attack which also caused the unknowingly pregnant Mishi to miscarry. Her resultant vendetta brought her into conflict with Paul Reid's Green Hornet who tried to prevent her from committing murder but seemingly failed to stop her killing Johnny Dollar in Vol. 2, #14, October 1992 (however, Johnny Dollar was revealed to have survived in Vol. 2, #29, January 1994). Mishi did return to her "Kato" persona one more time alongside Paul and Hayashi in Vol. 2, #34, June 1994, when the Hornet attended a gangland meeting with both Katos flanking him as guards/enforcers—the rules stated that each "boss" was allowed two "boys." In NOW's final two issues (Vol. 2, #39 & 40), a fourth Kato, Kono Kato (the grandson of Ikano Kato and nephew to Hayashi and Mishi) took over as Paul's fellow masked vigilante.

Another major character was Diana Reid, the original Britt Reid's daughter, who had become District Attorney some time after the TV series' Frank Scanlon had retired, and used her position to provide information and assistance to the Green Hornet exactly as Scanlon had. As the comic series progressed, a romantic relationship formed between Diana and Hayashi (at one point Diana thought she was pregnant with Hayashi's child, and in the very last issue is discussing wedding plans with his sister) and a possible bond between Mishi and Paul was hinted at.

There were two main ''Green Hornet'' series from NOW, as well as various annuals, mini-series, and spin-offs. The first series, referred to as Volume One, began in 1989 and had reached 14 issues when the company suspended operations for several months. Volume Two began in 1991 and lasted 40 issues, ending in 1995 because the publishers went out of business. Like [[Tonto]] before him, Kato (specifically, the Bruce Lee-based one) got his spin-off solo adventures: a four-issue miniseries in 1991, and a two-issue follow-up in 1992, both written by [[Mike Baron]]. He also wrote a third, first announced as a two-issue mini, then as a graphic novel, but it was never released due to the company's collapse. ''Tales of the Green Hornet'', consisting of nine issues spread out over three volumes (two, four, and three issues, respectively), presented stories of the two previous Hornets, with Volume One having a plotline, starring Green Hornet II, provided by [[Van Williams]], the actor who played that character's basis on TV. The follow-ups, beginning with the most detailed version of the Green Hornet's origin in any professional medium, were written by [[James Van Hise]]. Other mini-series included ''The Green Hornet: Solitary Sentinel'' (a three-issue story retroactively set between Volumes 1 and 2, with a major role for Britt II) and ''Sting of the Green Hornet'' (a four-issue series starring the original Green Hornet and set during [[World War II]], involving [[Nazism|Nazi]] [[espionage]] and in which the Hornet and Kato encounter unnamed versions of [[The Shadow (fictional character)|The Shadow]] and the future [[Alternate versions of Captain America#Non-Marvel|Captain America]]. They also barely miss running into reporters who look like [[Clark Kent]] and [[Lois Lane]]).

Another three-issue series (June — August, 1993), entitled ''Dark Tomorrow'', focused on a Green Hornet in the future of 2080 who had actually turned into the criminal he was pretending to be and who was fought by the Kato of that era in an effort to set him back on the right path. This series featured a hallucinatory episode in which the future Green Hornet was attacked and beaten by each of his Green Hornet ancestors (in attacking order: Britt Reid I using his gas gun, Britt Reid II with his Hornet's Sting, Paul Reid with his fists and the future Hornet's own father) and the unnamed Lone Ranger as well. An interesting twist is that the Green Hornet of ''Dark Tomorrow'' has dark hair and Asian features beneath his hologram mask, while the future Kato has blond hair and Caucasian features. This Kato even said that they were blood related. Furthermore, the art indicated that the ''Dark Tomorrow'' Hornet was the grandson of Paul Reid and Mishi Kato. The main Hornet of this comic is named Clayton "Clay" Reid, and a family tree feature in ''The Green Hornet'', Vol. 2, #26, October 1993, gives his father the first name Gordon and the only depicted future Kato the given name Luke (these are references to actors [[Clayton Moore]] {the Lone Ranger}, [[Gordon Jones (actor)|Gordon Jones]] {the Hornet in the first Saturday matinee serial} and [[Keye Luke]] {Kato in both serials}).<ref>[http://comics.org/details.lasso?id=278280 ''Dark Tomorrow'' at [[Grand Comics Database]]]</ref>

Discounting depictions of the cars utilized by the 1940s and 1960s Hornets, there were two different versions of the Black Beauty used in the NOW comic series. The first was based on the [[Pontiac Banshee]].<ref>[[Joan M. Weis|Weis, Joan]], "The Buzz Word" (letter column), ''The Green Hornet'' Vol. 2, #9, May 1992, [[NOW Comics]]</ref> Painted black and green, as a sports/exotic car, it was a big change from the two Black Beauty limousines used by previous Green Hornets. With the realization that such a distinctive vehicle was inappropriate to the nature of the Hornet operation, the series writers created a storyline in which the Black Beauty was destroyed and replaced by a 4 door sedan, this time based on the [[Oldsmobile 98#1991|91-96 Oldsmobile 98]] Touring Sedan.

==== Dynamite Entertainment ====

In March 2009 [[Dynamite Entertainment]] announced that they have acquired the license to produce ''Green Hornet'' comic books.<ref>[http://www.newsarama.com/comics/090331-green-hornet-dynamite-comic-books.html Dynamite Lands ''Green Hornet'' Comic Book License], [[Newsarama]], March 31, 2009</ref> Their first release has been announced to be a miniseries written by [[Kevin Smith]], adapting his ''Green Hornet'' script, from a film project abandoned in 2004.<ref>[http://popwatch.ew.com/popwatch/2009/05/kevin-smith-com.html EW Exclusive: Kevin Smith takes on Batman and the Green Hornet], May 13, 2009.</ref>

=== Prose fiction ===
[[Western Publishing]] subsidiary Whitman Books released four works of text fiction based on the character, targeting younger readers. There were three entries in the children's line of profusely illustrated [[Big Little Books]], ''The Green Hornet Strikes!'', ''The Green Hornet Returns'', and ''The Green Hornet Cracks Down'', in 1940, 1941 and 1942, respectively, all attributed to [[Fran Striker]]. In 1966, their line for older juveniles included ''Green Hornet: Case of the Disappearing Doctor'', by [[Brandon Keith (writer)|Brandon Keith]], a tie-in to the television series. At about the same time, [[Dell Publishing]] released a mass-market paperback, ''The Green Hornet in The Infernal Light'' by [[Ed Friend]], not only derived from the small-screen production as well, but, "allegedly based on one of the TV episodes".<ref>Weis, Joan, "Buzz Word" (letter column) ''The Green Hornet'', Vol. 2, #36, August 1994, NOW Comics, (letter from Timothy E. Jones)</ref>

In 2009, [[Moonstone Books]] gained the prose license and plans to release at least two Green Hornet anthologies as part of their ''Chronicles'' line, which already features other characters such as [[Phantom (comics)|The Phantom]], [[Kolchak: The Night Stalker]], [[The Spider]] and [[Zorro]].
Green Hornet is set to appear alongside The Phantom in ''The Phantom Chronicles 2'', in a story written by [[Harlan Ellison]]. <ref>[http://woldnewton.blogspot.com/2009/03/phantom-chronicles-2-from-mooonstone.html ''The Phantom Chronicles 2'' from Moonstone Books]</ref>

=== Parodies ===
* The Green Hornet was parodied by [[Bill Cosby]] in his c. 1970 syndicated five-minutes-a-day radio program, "[[The Brown Hornet]]", which he revived in the late 1970s for his ''[[Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids]]'' cartoon show. As Cosby described the radio parody on ''[[The Tonight Show]]'' to [[Johnny Carson]], the Brown Hornet rode in the White Beauty, a 1957 2-door Plymouth, driven by his aide Leroy, and lived in a 5-story walk-up apartment. The ''Fat Albert'' version shared only the name, instead being a space-based superhero in a futuristic setting.
* The 1960s cartoon series ''[[Batfink]]'' was a parody of both Batman and The Green Hornet. Batfink rode in a pink vehicle called the Battilac, which was driven by his assistant Karate who was a martial artist.

=== Feature films ===
{{Main|The Green Hornet (film)}}
One feature-length movie was edited from the last six chapters of the first serial and bore the same title, compiled by [[Film Shows, Inc.]] for VHS release by [[GoodTimes Entertainment|GoodTimes Home Video]] in 1990. Two others were cut from the television series, to cash in on the subsequent popularity of Bruce Lee. The first, carrying the program's name, was seen in US theaters and in the mid 1990s briefly released on the [[Video Treasures]] label in VHS. The other, ''Fury of the Dragon'' has been available in America only via the [[bootleg recording]] market. Finally, there was an unauthorized feature made in [[Hong Kong]] in 1994.<ref>{{imdb title|0110926|Qing feng xia}}</ref> Titled ''Qing feng xia'', it starred [[Kar Lok Chin]] as a masked hero called Green Hornet (in English subtitles), but dressed like Kato, as seen in the 1960s television version. In fact, one scene had this man being reminded of those who had come before him, and he was shown a [[standee]] of [[Bruce Lee]] in his Kato costume and mask as one predecessor.

[[Seth Rogen]] has been set to star in and co-write a film adaptation of ''The Green Hornet''. [[Stephen Chow]] was signed to both direct and play [[Kato (The Green Hornet)|Kato]].

=== Recent developments ===
A film version of the character has been in the works for decades. In the 1990s, the magazine [[Comics Scene (magazine)|''Comics Scene'']] reported that [[George Clooney]] and [[Jason Scott Lee]] were lined up to play the leads. Late in the 90s, music video director [[Michel Gondry]] worked with ''[[RoboCop]]'' screenwriter [[Edward Neumeier]] on a possible ''Green Hornet'' adaptation.<ref>[http://film.guardian.co.uk/interview/interviewpages/0,,2009742,00.html The Guardian Interview with Michel Gondry]</ref> Subsequently, screenwriter [[John Fusco]] created a screenplay for the film around 2002.{{Citation needed|date=July 2009}}

As of the summer of 2004, [[Kevin Smith (film maker)|Kevin Smith]] was writing a screenplay for him to direct a new rendition of ''The Green Hornet'' which was originally scheduled for release in 2005. It was rumored that [[Jet Li]] would portray Kato and [[Jake Gyllenhaal]] would play the Green Hornet. In 2004 Kevin Smith put the film on the back burner. After a long downtime in which his status with the project was unknown, Smith announced at the 2006 Wondercon that he officially no longer has anything to do with ''The Green Hornet''.<ref>[http://www.newsaskew.com/cgi-bin/coranto/iSay.cgi?Page=Comments&ID=EEupEZAZuZLZgWaazm News Askew: Talk Back!]</ref>

An episode from the [[radio]] series of ''The Green Hornet'' was played for those in attendance at the [[Mid-Atlantic Nostalgia Convention]] at [[Aberdeen, Maryland]] in September 2006. Terry Salomonson, a radio [[historian]], presented a brief history of the radio program and then shared the recording, which until that day, had been unheard since its initial broadcast back in the 1930s.

'''Harry the Hornet''' is the [[mascot]] of [[England|English]] [[association football|football]] club, [[Watford F.C.]] He is decorated in the club colours of yellow, red and black. The club are nicknamed ''the Hornets''.<ref name="observer4746219">{{cite news|url=http://www.watfordobserver.co.uk/archive/2009/11/18/News+%2828news%29/4746219.Harry_the_Hornet_puts_pupils_through_their_paces/|title=Harry the Hornet puts Bovingdon pupils through their paces|last=Mulderrig|first=Aime|date=18 November 2009|publisher=''Watford Observer''|accessdate=06 December 2009|location=[[Watford]]}}</ref>

As well being the mascot at games at [[Vicarage Road]], he also attends some away games and regularly visits schools and hospitals in the [[Hertfordshire]] region.

==History==
Harry the Hornet has undergone at least three different guises over the years. He looked quite fierce when he first became a regular on the touchline at Vicarage Road in 1995, but has now adopted a child-friendly demeanour. The main reason for the first change was a dispute between the club and the man who worked inside the suit, which resulted in him retaining Harry's head and so a redesign became necessary.

On 28 August 1998, Harry got married to Harriet the Hornet. The marriage took place on the pitch at Vicarage Road before the start of the game against [[Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C.]], and was witnessed by Wolfie, the Wolves mascot, who acted as Harry's best man. The club held a full wedding ceremony for Harry and Harriet, rounded off with a sing-along to the chorus of "Elton John's Taylor-Made Army". [[Elton John]] was Chairman and [[Graham Taylor (football manager)|Graham Taylor]] was manager of the club at the time.

From that point on, Harriet joined her husband on the pitch at most home games, although she has not been seen for a number years. They were very similar in appearance, although Harriet wore a much longer football shirt, which was made to look like a dress, and had long eye-lashes.

In 2000, Harry won the second [[Mascot Grand National]] held at [[Huntingdon Racecourse]].<ref name="eclipse">{{cite news|url=http://www.eclipsemagazine.co.uk/magazine/news/10thannualjohnsmithsmascotgrandnational.html|title=10th Annual John Smiths Mascot Grand National|date=August 2009|publisher=Eclipse magazine|accessdate=06 December 2009}}</ref>

In the second redesign, Harry lost his large posterior which was meant to resemble the rear section of a hornet, but apparently caused backache when worn for a period of time. Harry now wears standard football style shorts and his resemblance to a [[hornet]] is therefore reduced.

Harry was present at the play-off final at [[Wembley Stadium]] in 1999 and at the [[Millennium Stadium]] Cardiff in 2006, both of which Watford won. In 2006, when the town of Watford hosted an Italian weekend, Harry's cousin was let loose on an unsuspecting public. Harry the Hornetto, looking suspiciously like Harry but with Italian clothes and a pencil moustache, entertained the crowd.

The club has used the popularity of the mascot to sell club merchandise, and his face can be found on baby gear, mugs and T-Shirts, all of which are available from the club shop. The club has also sold toy versions of him. In 2004, the club commissioned a local artist to create artwork of Harry to appear in the matchday programme.

The mascot of Watford's arch-rivals [[Luton Town F.C.|Luton Town]], is called Harry the Hatter.

The '''Jacksonville Jaguars''' are a professional [[American football]] team located in [[Jacksonville]], [[Florida]]. They are currently members of the [[American Football Conference South Division|South Division]] of the [[American Football Conference]] (AFC) in the [[National Football League]] (NFL). The Jaguars, along with the [[Carolina Panthers]], joined the NFL as an [[expansion team]] in 1995.

The club has played all of its home games at [[Jacksonville Municipal Stadium]]. The stadium is located near the [[St. Johns River]]. The team headquarters is also located in the stadium. The Jaguars practice during the season and training camp in the stadium and on adjoining practice fields.

==History==
===Pre-franchise history of football in Jacksonville===
{{Main|History of the Jacksonville Jaguars}}
Every year the city hosts the [[Gator Bowl]], an annual civic highlight traditionally accompanied by parties, ceremonies, parades and other events leading up to the game. The annual [[Southeastern Conference|SEC]] Eastern division rivalry game between the [[Florida Gators football|Florida Gators]] and [[Georgia Bulldogs football|Georgia Bulldogs]], traditionally dubbed "[[The World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party]]", is also played in Jacksonville.

The Gator Bowl stadium was built out of steel trusses during the Great Depression and was frequently built onto, with the final addition of the reinforced-concrete west upper deck coming in 1982. The stadium hosted short-lived teams in both the [[World Football League]] ([[Jacksonville Sharks (World Football League)|Jacksonville Sharks/Express]]) and the [[United States Football League]] ([[Jacksonville Bulls]]) and the occasional NFL exhibition game. The city also hosted the [[American Football League]] All Star Game in 1967 and 1968. The city briefly attempted to lure the [[Indianapolis Colts|Baltimore Colts]], whose owner [[Robert Irsay]] famously landed a helicopter in the stadium as thousands of Jacksonville citizens urged him to move the team there. City leaders also attempted to get the [[Tennessee Titans|Houston Oilers]] to move to Jacksonville at one point in the late 1980s. Great efforts were made to lure the Oilers, including the creation of a "Jacksonville Oilers" banner and designation of a specific section of the Gator Bowl as a non-alcohol, family section for proposed home games (a feature utilized today at Jaguars games).

===Franchise history===
====1989–1994====
In 1992, the NFL announced that it would add two new teams, originally in time for the 1993 season. The league had not expanded since the 1976 season with the addition of [[Seattle Seahawks]] and [[Tampa Bay Buccaneers]]; with the sport growing the NFL felt the time was right to add additional franchises. Five cities were ultimately chosen as finalists for the two new teams: [[Charlotte, North Carolina]]; [[St. Louis, Missouri]]; [[Baltimore, Maryland]]; [[Memphis, Tennessee]]; and Jacksonville. From the beginning, Charlotte and St. Louis were considered the heavy favorites, with Baltimore also a strong possibility. Though not as strong a bid, Memphis was still considered an outside possibility, as the NFL did not have a presence in the area.

For many reasons, Jacksonville was considered the darkest horse in the field. [[Florida]] already had two NFL teams: the [[Tampa Bay Buccaneers]], who played about a four-hour ride away, and the [[Miami Dolphins]]. Any expansion team would also have to compete with Florida's three major college football teams—Florida State, Florida and Miami—and the [[Georgia Bulldogs]]. Jacksonville was also the only television market in the running not ranked in the top 50 Nielsen markets. While Jacksonville was the 15th largest city in the nation at the time, it was (then as now) only a medium-sized market because the surrounding suburban and rural areas are smaller than the city itself. There were 635,000 people in Jacksonville proper according to the 1990 census, but only 900,000 people in the metropolitan area.<ref>http://www.census.gov/population/www/cen2000/briefs/phc-t3/tables/tab01.txt</ref><ref>http://www.census.gov/population/www/documentation/twps0027/tab22.txt</ref>

However, the biggest potential obstacle for the Jacksonville bid was nonstop turmoil and conflict surrounding the potential ownership group. It had formed even before the NFL announced its intentions to expand, in 1989. The group called itself Touchdown Jacksonville! and placed its formal application with the NFL in 1991. The original ownership group included future Governor [[Jeb Bush]] and Jacksonville developer and political kingmaker [[Tom Petway]]. In 1991 this group confidently announced that it would call its team the Jacksonville Jaguars. After some defections and mutinies, the group came to be led by [[J. Wayne Weaver]], shoe magnate and founder of [[Nine West]].

From the time Touchdown Jacksonville! came to being, it faced several challenges. In April 1993, the NFL indicated to Jacksonville officials that additional renovations to the Gator Bowl would be needed.<ref name="profootballhof.com">[http://www.profootballhof.com/history/team.jsp?franchise_id=15 The Pro Football Hall of Fame]</ref> After several weeks of negotiations, and at least one breakdown, an agreement was reached that capped the city's liability for construction and was sent to the City Council for approval. However, on on July 21, 1993, the Council failed to approve the financing package, dooming the bid. Deposits on season tickets were refunded, and Touchdown Jacksonville!'s offices were shuttered.<ref>[http://www.nytimes.com/1993/07/23/sports/football-jacksonville-out-of-nfl-hunt.html New York Times]</ref>

Largely due to being underwhelmed by the remaining suitors, the NFL and others encouraged Jacksonville interests to revisit the issue and resurrect their bid. About a month later negotiations between the city and Touchdown Jacksonville! resumed, and a slightly revised aid package was approved by a solid majority of the City Council. Officially back in the race, Jacksonville officials were energized, indicated by a drive to sell club seats that resulted in over 10,000 seats being sold in 10 days. The Jaguars also gained a high-profile investor when former NFL star player [[Deron Cherry]] signed on as a limited partner.

After Charlotte was unanimously granted the 29th franchise on November 1, the NFL announced they would name the 30th franchise on or before November 30, 1993. By this time, conventional wisdom was that St. Louis would get the 30th franchise. In fact, T-shirts of the "[[St. Louis Stallions]]" (the proposed new team name) briefly went on sale at some St. Louis area sporting goods shops. However, it was not meant to be.

At 4:12 p.m. (EST) on the afternoon of November 30, Jacksonville was announced as the winning franchise.<ref name="profootballhof.com"/> The next evening, 25,000 fans celebrated at the Gator Bowl as season ticket sales were kicked off. Within ten days, the [[Florida Times-Union]] (Jacksonville's daily newspaper) announced sales had passed the 55,000 seat mark (Incidentally, the three other finalists all eventually became the home of a relocated franchise: the Los Angeles Rams moved to [[St. Louis]] in 1995, the Cleveland Browns moved to Baltimore and were renamed the [[Baltimore Ravens]] and Memphis would briefly serve as the home of the former Houston Oilers in 1996 before the team moved into its new stadium in [[Nashville]] and was renamed the [[Tennessee Titans]]).

After the Gator Bowl game on December 31, 1993 the old stadium was essentially demolished and replaced with a reinforced concrete superstructure. All that remained of the old stadium was the west upper concourse and a portion of the ramping system. To accommodate construction, the 1994 and 1995 games of "The World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party" were split between the home fields of Florida and Georgia, and the [[1994 Gator Bowl]] was played at [[Ben Hill Griffin Stadium]] in [[Gainesville, Florida|Gainesville]]. The new [[Jacksonville Municipal Stadium]] (known as Alltel Stadium from 1997–2006) opened on August 18, 1995 with a preseason game against the [[St. Louis Rams]].

====Tom Coughlin era (1995–2002)====
=====1995: Inaugural season=====
{{Main|1995 Jacksonville Jaguars season}}
[[Image:JaguarsInauguralSeasonlogo.gif|thumb|right|150px|Jaguars Inaugural Season logo]]

In 1995, along with the [[Carolina Panthers]], the Jacksonville Jaguars entered the [[NFL]] as the first expansion teams in almost 20 years. Both teams participated in the [[1995 NFL Expansion Draft]], with the Jaguars taking [[Steve Beuerlein]] with the first pick. Beuerlein quickly lost his starting job to former Green Bay Packer backup [[Mark Brunell]]. The Jaguars finished their inaugural season with a record of 4–12. Both the Jaguars and the Panthers (7–9) broke the previous record for most wins by an expansion team (3) set by the [[Cincinnati Bengals]] in 1968. The inaugural season featured many of the players who would lead Jacksonville into the playoffs in the team's next four seasons, including quarterback [[Mark Brunell]] (acquired in a draft day trade from Green Bay), offensive lineman [[Tony Boselli]] (drafted with the 2nd pick overall in the [[1995 NFL Draft]]) running back [[James Stewart (football player)|James Stewart]] (also drafted in 1995), and wide receiver [[Jimmy Smith (American football player)|Jimmy Smith]] (signed as a free agent).

The team played its first regular season game at home before a crowd of 72,363<ref>[http://www.jaguars.com/news/article.aspx?id=26 Jacksonville Jaguars]</ref> on September 3, 1995, a 10-3 loss against the [[Houston Oilers]]. The team picked up its first win in Week 4 as the Jaguars defeated the Oilers 17–16 on October 1 in Houston. The next week against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Jaguars earned their first home win by defeating the eventual AFC Champions 20-16. The team's other two wins came in a season sweep of the [[Cleveland Browns]] including a Week 17 24–21 victory sealed by a Mike Hollis 34-yard field goal<ref>[http://www.nytimes.com/1995/12/25/sports/around-the-nfl-thigpen-drops-crown-on-packers-heads.html New York Times]</ref> in the Browns' final game before the team relocated to Baltimore and was renamed the Ravens.

=====1996: "Jacksonville, do you believe in miracles?"=====
{{Main|1996 Jacksonville Jaguars season}}
Jacksonville's 1996 season was a marked success. as They won six of their last seven games of the season and finished with a record of 9–7. The credit for this midseason turnaround probably lies in the demotion of wide receiver [[Andre Rison]] in favor of [[Jimmy Smith (American football)|Jimmy Smith]] after a game against the St. Louis Rams in which Brunell threw 5 interceptions. The interceptions were blamed on Rison and he was benched. In the team's final game of the regular season against the [[Atlanta Falcons]], needing a win to earn a playoff berth, the Jaguars caught a bit of luck when [[Morten Andersen]] missed a 30 yard field goal with less than a minute remaining that would have given the Falcons the lead.<ref name="Sports"> {{cite news|last = AP| first = |title = Andersen's Miss Puts Jaguars in Postseason|work = [[Chicago Sun-Times]]|date = December 23, 1996| url = http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-4356188.html|accessdate = 2007-11-05}}</ref> The Jaguars clinched the fifth seed in the AFC playoffs.

Their first playoff game was against the [[Buffalo Bills]] at Buffalo, a game the Jaguars won 30-27. Their next game was on the road against the [[Denver Broncos]], who had dominated the AFC with a 13-3 record. The upstart Jaguars were not intimidated by the Broncos or their fans, and they largely dominated from the second quarter on. A late touchdown pass from Mark Brunell to Jimmy Smith gave the Jags a 30-20 lead. They held on to win in a huge upset, 30–27, in a game that many people still consider the franchise's finest hour. Upon their return home, the Jags were greeted by an estimated 40,000 fans at the stadium. Many of these fans had watched the game on the stadium [[JumboTron]] displays and had stayed into the early hours of the morning when the team arrived. In the AFC Championship Game, the Jaguars acquitted themselves very well, playing a tight and close defensive game in a hostile environment for over three quarters before finally losing 20-6 to the [[New England Patriots]] on the road. Their fellow second-year NFC expansion team, the Carolina Panthers, also got to the conference championship (in the NFC), where they lost 30-13 to the eventual Super Bowl champion [[Green Bay Packers]].

=====1997–1999: Playoffs, division champions and the end of a run=====
{{Main|1997 Jacksonville Jaguars season}}
In '''1997''', the franchise's third season, the Jaguars and the Steelers both finished the season with an 11-5 record, tops in the AFC Central Division. Pittsburgh won the division in a tiebreaker as a result of having higher net in division games than Jacksonville.<ref>[[1997 NFL season]]</ref> As a result, the Jaguars settled for 2nd place in the division, a Wild Card berth and the 5th seed in the AFC playoffs. The Jags postseason would end quickly as they fell in their first game, a 42–17 defeat against the Denver Broncos at [[Mile High Stadium]]. The Broncos, led by [[Terrell Davis]], ran at will against the Jaguars, rushing for 5 touchdowns and over 300 yards.<ref>[http://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/199712270den.htm Pro-Football-Reference.com - Pro Football Statistics and History]</ref>

{{Main|1998 Jacksonville Jaguars season}}
In '''1998''', the Jaguars again finished 11-5 and won their first AFC Central Division title. The team became the first NFL expansion team to make the playoffs three times in its first four seasons of play. In the wild card round, the Jaguars hosted their first home playoff game, a 25–10 win over the New England Patriots. The team's season ended the next week in the Divisional Round as the [[New York Jets]] defeated the Jaguars 34–24.

{{Main|1999 Jacksonville Jaguars season}}
In '''1999''', the Jaguars compiled a league best 14-2 regular season record, the best record in franchise history. The team's two losses were to the [[Tennessee Titans]]. The Jaguars won the AFC Central Division for the second straight year and clinched the #1 seed in the AFC. The Jaguars hosted the Miami Dolphins in the AFC Divisional playoffs, a 62–7 victory in what would be [[Dan Marino]] and [[Jimmy Johnson (football coach)|Jimmy Johnson]]'s last NFL game. Jacksonville's 62 points and 55-point margin are the second most ever in NFL playoff history, and [[Fred A. Taylor|Fred Taylor]]'s 90-yard run in the first quarter is the longest ever in an NFL playoff game.<ref>[http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/nfl/2000/playoffs/div_afc_gm1/news/2000/01/15/dolphins_jaguars_ap/ CNN.com]</ref>

The Jaguars' bid for a Super Bowl title came to an end the next week in the AFC championship game. The Jags fell at home to the Titans 33–14 in a game that the Jaguars led 14–10 at halftime, before allowing 23 unanswered points in the 2nd half. The Jaguars finished the 1999 season 15–3, with all three of their losses coming against the Titans (the only time in NFL history that a 3-loss team had all of its losses to one team). The loss marked the end of an era that saw the Jaguars make the playoffs in four of the team's first five years and would be the team's last playoff appearance until the 2005 season.

=====2000–2002=====
These were the most disappointing years for the new franchise, due primarily to salary cap problems. In the 2000 season, veteran quarterback Mark Brunell and young running back Fred Taylor led the squad through a painful 7–9 season. The only highlights of the 2000 season were two wins over their division rival, the Cleveland Browns. The next two seasons in Jacksonville had worse records of 6–10 through the 2001 and 2002 seasons. This was mainly due to salary cap problems, meaning the team could not afford to keep a lot of talent. Coach Coughlin admitted that the team actually had more talent in its first year (1995) when it only won 4 games. This would be the last season he would coach the team. At the end of his tenure, he took out a full page ad in the Florida Times Union thanking the city of Jacksonville for "eight great seasons". Though despised by some of the fans, he drafted great talent such as Tony Boselli, Mark Brunell,Tony Brackens, Fred Taylor, Donovan Darius, John Henderson, Marcus Stroud, and David Garrard.

In 2002, the NFL split up the two leagues into 4 divisions, sending the Jacksonville Jaguars to the AFC South. This would put them in the same division as Indianapolis, Tennessee, and Houston.

====Jack Del Rio era (2003–present)====
=====2003–2005=====
In 2003, the Jaguars hired Jack Del Rio as head coach. Del Rio was a linebacker during the late 80s and early 90s before retiring. He was formerly the Carolina Panthers' defensive coordinator, bringing the team's defensive ranking from 30th to second. The Jaguars selected quarterback Byron Leftwich with the seventh pick of the NFL draft. The Jaguars had high hopes for their new quarterback. The team had many failures and heatbreaking moments, ending the 2003 season at 5–11 and missing the playoffs for the fourth consecutive season. Despite resolving their salary cap problems, the team's rebuilding was clearly taking longer than expected.

The 2004 season, the tenth season of the Jaguars franchise, resulted in a winning record of 9–7 with road victories against the Green Bay Packers at [[Lambeau Field]] and the Indianapolis Colts at the [[RCA Dome]]. The Jaguars' defense was a strong suit, as it included two Pro Bowl players, defensive tackles [[Marcus Stroud]] and [[John Henderson (NFL football)|John Henderson]]. Byron Leftwich enjoyed a solid year in 2004, helped by strong performances from holdovers Fred Taylor and Jimmy Smith. Unfortunately, Taylor sustained a season-ending injury at Green Bay. The very next week the Jaguars fell to the Houston Texans, which would ultimately eliminate them from playoff contention. This denied them an opportunity to play the [[Super Bowl]] at their home stadium. In 2004, the Jaguars became the first [[NFL]] team to have three African-American quarterbacks on their roster. The quarterbacks were [[Byron Leftwich]], [[David Garrard]], and [[Quinn Gray]].

The 2005 Jaguars hoped to challenge the Colts for the division title. However, due to their scintillating 13-0 start, including two victories against the Jaguars, the Colts easily clinched the AFC South title. With a 12–4 record, the Jaguars earned a wild card and their first playoff appearance since 1999. Among these 12 wins were a 23–20 victory over the [[Cincinnati Bengals]] on October 9, 2005 and a 23-17 overtime victory over the [[Pittsburgh Steelers]] on October 16, 2005. While the Jaguars managed to win key games in 2005, nine of their final ten games were against opponents with losing records. Though these games were wins, key players Byron Leftwich, [[Mike Peterson]], [[Akin Ayodele]], [[Paul Spicer]], and [[Rashean Mathis]] were hurt during this stretch. The Jaguars ended the season losing 28-3 to the two-time defending champion New England Patriots on January 7, 2006 in the AFC wild card playoff round.

=====2006=====
{{Main|2006 Jacksonville Jaguars season}}
Jacksonville looked like a team on the rise coming off of their 12–4 season, and was considered a playoff contender entering the season. But injuries plagued the team. [[Reggie Hayward]], [[Greg Jones (American football)|Greg Jones]], [[Donovin Darius]], Byron Leftwich, and Mike Peterson all suffered season-ending injuries. Marcus Stroud, [[Matt Jones (American football)|Matt Jones]], Paul Spicer, and Fred Taylor also faced injuries during the season. The team started off 2–0, defeating the [[Dallas Cowboys]] earning the NFL's highest winning percentage on opening days at .750 with a record of 9–3), and shutting out the defending champs Pittsburgh Steelers. But the team lost its next two games, and suffered embarrassing losses to the Houston Texans over the course of the season (Surprisingly, Jacksonville has struggled against the Texans since Houston entered the league in 2002). They missed the playoffs with an 8–8 record, but there were some positives. [[Maurice Jones-Drew]], the Jaguars' second round draft pick, was one of the most surprising rookie sensations. He averaged 5.7 yards a carry, the highest in the league, and tied for 3rd in the NFL with 16 touchdowns. This season was also the first year the team played without their standout wide receiver Jimmy Smith as he decided to retire. His production is still missed as the Jaguars struggle to find an adequate replacement.

=====2007=====
{{Main|2007 Jacksonville Jaguars season}}
On April 28, 2007, the Jaguars used their first-round pick (21st overall) to select Florida safety [[Reggie Nelson]], after passing on Notre Dame Quarterback [[Brady Quinn]] twice. The pick of Reggie Nelson filled a void as veteran free safety [[Deon Grant]] went to Seattle to play for the [[Seattle Seahawks]], since Jacksonville was unwilling to match Seattle's contract offer. On June 15, 2007, the Jaguars released longtime strong safety Donovin Darius, who had seen diminished playing time in recent years due to mounting injuries. This was seen by many as a cost-cutting measure. On August 31, 2007, the Jaguars announced that long time back-up quarterback [[David Garrard]] would start for the team, ahead of former 1st round draft pick, [[Byron Leftwich]] who was released in the team's final roster cuts. Garrard led the Jaguars to an 11–5 record and the [[NFL playoffs, 2007-08|playoffs]]. On January 5, 2008, the Jaguars defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 31-29 to win their first playoff game in almost 8 years and their first road playoff win since 1997. It was also the first time in the 50+ year history of the Steelers that they had been beaten twice at home by the same team in the same season. However, in the Divisional round, the Jaguars fell to the as of then [[2007 New England Patriots season|undefeated New England Patriots]]; the teams were tied at halftime, but the Patriots pulled ahead and won 31–20. [[Tom Brady]] completed 22 of 24 passes in this game, being pressured by the Jaguars' defense only once, on the first play. This game more than any other gave the Jaguars' front office a strong desire to upgrade the pass rush.

The team's offense in 2007 was definitely a run-first offense, with [[Maurice Jones-Drew]] and [[Fred Taylor (American football)|Fred Taylor]] putting up a lot of yards. The Jaguars had a lot of success passing the ball early on, but later in the season it was shown that if a talented defense sold out to stop the run, the Jaguars were not enough of a threat passing the ball to do that alone. Garrard, however, was shown to be an accurate passer in 2007, throwing only 3 interceptions and a few nice long passes. The Jaguars concluded that they needed to work on improving their receiving corps to add balance to the offense.

=====2008=====
{{Main|2008 Jacksonville Jaguars season}}
The 2008 season began with high expectations for the Jaguars. The team acquired free agent wide receiver [[Jerry Porter (American football)|Jerry Porter]] and rookie defensive ends [[Quentin Groves]] of Auburn and [[Derrick Harvey]] of Florida to address the team's most glaring holes. Journalists including espn.com's Kevin Seifert predicted the Jaguars were poised to make a Super Bowl run.<ref>[http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/preview08/news/story?id=3552727 GO.com]</ref>

However, the Jaguars failed to live up to those expectations, struggling to a 5-11 finish, the franchise's worst record since 2003. The team's struggles were in part, the result of a rash of injuries to the team's offensive line. The Jaguars lost starting guards Vince Manuwai and Maurice Williams for the season within the first quarter of the opening game. Tackle [[Richard Collier]]'s career ended in early September when he was brutally attacked and shot 14 times.<ref>[http://www.news4jax.com/sports/18190653/detail.html News 4 Jax]</ref> Center Brad Meester missed the first two months of the season and guard Chris Naeole, signed to the roster mid-season in response to these injuries, was injured in pregame warmups before playing a single snap. Against teams with smaller defensive linemen, the 2008 Jaguars offense resembled the 2007 offense, because the line was able to dominate. An example is the 23–21 victory in Indianapolis against the Colts that saw David Garrard drive the Jaguars into field goal range in the final minute and Josh Scobee boot the game winning 51-yard field goal with 4 seconds remaining. Another example would be the Jaguars' performance against the Broncos. However, the Jaguars struggled mostly, especially in the second half of the season as evidenced by a 19–21 loss to the [[Cincinnati Bengals]] who entered the game with an 0-8 record.

==Team colors and mascots==
===Logos and uniforms===
===Logo===
[[Image:Unused Jacksonville Jaguars Helmet.png|thumb|left|150px|Jaguars unused logo on helmet]]
The day after the NFL awarded the expansion team to Jacksonville, a triumphant Wayne Weaver held up the Jaguars' proposed silver helmet and teal jersey at the NFL owners' meeting in Chicago. The team's colors were to be teal, gold, and silver with black accents. However, this jersey and helmet design, with a gold leaping jaguar, created controversy. [[Ford Motor Company]], parent of the automaker [[Jaguar (car)|Jaguar]], believed that the Jaguars' logo bore too much resemblance to the automaker's logo. Though no lawsuit was brought to trial, an amicable agreement was ultimately reached where Jaguar would be named the official car of the Jaguars, and the Jaguars would redesign their uniforms.

The new logo was a snarling jaguar head with a teal tongue, which Weaver said was his wife's touch. He also claimed that the teal tongue came from "feeding Panthers to our Jaguars" — an obvious jab at their expansion brethren. During the Jaguars' first ever preseason game teal-colored candies were handed out to all the fans who attended, turning their tongues a teal color just like on the logo. Additionally, raspberry lollipops were handed out by the "Candy Man" in section 142 to also turn the home fans' tongues teal.

In 2009, Weaver announced that he wanted to 'clean up' the team's image. This meant the elimination of the full-body crawling Jaguar logo, the clawing Jaguar, and the two previous wordmarks which bent the text around these logos.

===Uniform===
====1995-2003====
[[Image:AFCS-Uniform-Combination-JAX.PNG|thumb|left|250px|Jacksonville Jaguars uniform combination, 2004-2008.]]
Following the logo change, the redesigned uniforms feature an all-black helmet, white pants with teal, black, and gold stripes, and numbers with gold inner trim and black outer trim. The home jersey was teal with white numbers and the away jersey was white with teal numbers. Both jerseys had a black collar but no sleeve stripes.

A prowling jaguar on each sleeve replaced the leaping jaguar going across both shoulders in the original design. The Jaguars in 1995 were the first NFL team to have 2-tone borders on their numbers and lettering, and the first NFL team to show a complex logo (the crawling Jaguar) on the sleeve. Teams such as the Ravens, Bucs, and Eagles copied these innovations in the late 90s, driving up the cost of their jerseys. An authentic Jaguars jersey had been among the most expensive in the league for fans to buy.

Minor modifications were introduced to the Jaguars uniform during this time, most notably the font of the jersey numbers, replacing the original block numbers with a unique font. Two stripes were also added to the end of the sleeves below the prowling jaguar.

Until 2004, the Jaguars would always wear their white jerseys for afternoon games at home during the first half of the season.

====2003-2008====
During these period, the Jaguars made minor changes to their uniform, each time adding more black to the look.

The team introduced an alternate black jersey in 2002. During that same year, the team also started to wear black pants, with either the white or the teal jersey. After the black pants were introduced, the white pants would only be seen for the first few games of the year, presumably due to the heat. The black pants originally included two teal stripes down each side. The fan reaction to the extra black in the alternate jersey and alternate pants was positive, so in 2004 the Jaguars went through a formal uniform change, which teams are only allowed to do once every 5 years.

These changes were mostly to the away look. Before 2004, the white away jerseys had teal numbers with black and gold trim, but after, the white jerseys had black numbers with teal and gold trim. The black pants were also changed, the teal stripes replaced with the Jaguar logo on each hip. Teal almost disappeared from the road look.

The stripes on the white pants were altered in 2008 so that the center, thickest stripe was black, and its accents were teal. The black jersey was not used in 2008. In the 2008 year, the gold in the uniforms noticeably shifted from a bright yellow metallic appearance to more beige.

For most of their short history, the Jaguars did what many other NFL teams located in [[subtropical climate]]s traditionally practice: wear their white jerseys at home during the first half of the season — forcing opponents to wear their dark ones under the sweltering autumns in Jacksonville. However in 2004, the Jaguars wore their colored uniforms at home for all home games. The Jaguars again wore their colored jerseys (all in teal) for all home games in 2008. In the preseason, the Jaguars wear teal at home since these games are played at night when there is very little advantage with the heat.

====2009====
The Jaguars uniform underwent many changes for the [[2009 Jacksonville Jaguars season|2009 season]].<ref name=JaxUni>[http://bleacherreport.com/afc-south Bleacher Report]</ref><ref name=AskVic>[http://www.jaguars.com/news/article.aspx?id=7730 Jacksonville Jaguars]</ref> Team owner [[Wayne Weaver]] reportedly wanted to "clean up" the look, feeling that the team had too many uniform styles.<ref name="AskVic" /> The new uniforms were introduced in a press conference on April 22. <ref>{{cite web |last=Ketchman |first=Vic |title=Another Fred Taylor? |publisher=Jaguars.com |date=04-09-2009 |url=http://www.jaguars.com/news/article.aspx?id=7757 |accessdate=04-09-2009 }}</ref> At this press conference, Weaver elaborated that different people had taken different liberties with the Jaguars' image over the years, singling out the 'All Black' look which the team wore for every prime-time home game from 2003 to 2007 as a point of regret. He also said that the team will continue to wear [[teal (color)|teal]] jerseys at home even on hot days, saying that the practice of choosing to wear white on hot days which ended in 2008 had also diluted the team's image. 

Overall, the new jerseys have fewer features than the old ones. The collar and sleeve ends are now the same color as the rest of the jersey. The crawling jaguar is gone. The only feature on the sleeves that will remain is two standard [[Reebok]] logos. The numbers on the jerseys are now a simpler, block font with a thicker, single color border. After all of these subtractions, two features were added. The first is a "JAGUARS" wordmark underneath the NFL insignia on the chest; this mimics the Titans' and Eagles' uniforms, for instance. The second is two thin 'stripes' of off-color fabric which were added to each midseam of the jersey, curling up to the neckline on the front and below the number on the back. The stripe on the home jersey is a white line next to a black line, matching the color of the numbers, and the stripe on the away jersey is a black line next to a teal line, again matching the numbers. The pants have similar stripes, both for the home and away uniform. The away uniforms are still basically black pants and numbers on a white jersey, but they now have a little more teal overall; it is the only accent color. Before, gold was more prominent than teal on the away uniform.

The Jaguars' identity, in terms of colors, as of 2009 is exclusively teal and black, with gold only being used in the logo; just as the Steelers identity is gold and black, with red and blue only being used in the logo.

The final change made to the Jaguars' uniforms in 2009 was to the helmet. The new helmet and facemask are black just like the old ones, but when light hits the new ones a certain way, both the helmet and face mask will sparkle with a shiny teal appearance. These are the first helmets in professional football which change color with different angles of light. The logo and number decals also incorporate this effect.

===Mascot===
{{Main|Jaxson de Ville}}
[[Image:Phil Stacey American Idol finalist.jpg|thumb|right|Jaxson de Ville with [[American Idol]] finalist [[Phil Stacey]].]]
Since his introduction in 1996, Jaxson de Ville has served as the Jaguars' mascot. Jaxson entertains the crowd before and during games with his antics. The mascot has established a reputation for making dramatic entrances including bungee jumping off the stadium lights, sliding down a rope from the scoreboard and parachuting into the stadium.

Jaxson's antics got him into trouble in 1998 and stemmed the changing of the NFL's mascot rules, and also caused him to calm down.<ref name="Jaxson De Villain">{{cite web | author=Jacksonville.com | title="Jaxson De Villain" | publisher=Jacksonville.com | year= 1999 | url=http://www.jacksonville.com/tu-online/stories/100199/spb_09_30_n2.html | accessdate=2007-09-29}}</ref> However, Jaxson was still seen, by some, as a mascot that gets in the way during the game. After the October 22, 2007 game against Indianapolis, Colts President Bill Polian complained to the NFL, and Jaxson was reprimanded again.<ref name="Jaxson in trouble">{{cite web | author=Michael David Smith | title="Jaguars Mascot Jaxson de Ville Draws Ire of Colts President Bill Polian" | publisher=sports.aol.com | year= 2007 | url=http://sports.aol.com/fanhouse/2007/11/16/jaguars-mascot-jaxson-de-ville-draws-ire-of-colts-president-bill/ | accessdate=2007-11-18}}</ref><ref name="Jaxson Busted">{{cite web | author=Fox 30 Online | title="Jaguars Mascot Busted For Not Following Rules" | publisher=Fox30.online.com | year= 2007 | url=http://www.fox30online.com/content/topstories/story.aspx?content_id=109b97a7-99d9-4fbe-a68d-345c24346fda/ | accessdate=2007-11-18}}</ref>

==Stadium==
{{Main|Jacksonville Municipal Stadium}}
[[Image:Jacksonville Municipal Stadium.JPG|300px]|right|thumb|[[Jacksonville Municipal Stadium]]]]

Jacksonville Municipal Stadium, located near the banks of the St. Johns River, is the current home of the Jaguars and has been since the team's first season in 1995. The stadium has a capacity of over 76,000 but approximately 10,000 seats are covered during Jaguars' home games reducing the stadium's capacity to 67,164. The seats were covered before the 2005 season in response to declining ticket sales and the large capacity of the stadium relative to Jacksonville's population.<ref>[http://www.jacksonville.com/tu-online/stories/081004/jag_16321359.shtml Jacksonville.com]</ref>

The stadium served as the site of [[Super Bowl XXXIX]] in addition to three Jaguar playoff games including the [[NFL_playoffs,_1999-2000#AFC:_Tennessee_Titans_33.2C_Jacksonville_Jaguars_14|1999 AFC Championship Game]]. In addition, the stadium hosts the annual [[The World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party|Florida-Georgia Game]] ("The World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party") and the [[Gator Bowl|Minolta Gator Bowl]].

From 1997 until 2006, the stadium was named Alltel Stadium.<ref>[http://www.jacksonville.com/tu-online/stories/090807/met_197876488.shtml Jacksonville.com]</ref>

==Work in the community==
[[Image:JagsFound.gif|left|150px|]]
The '''Jacksonville Jaguars Foundation''' was established in 1995, when the franchise deal was first announced. Since then, the Foundation has given over $20 million to area efforts in community improvement.<ref>[http://www.jacksonville.com/tu-online/stories/062307/met_179533193.shtml Jacksonville.com]</ref> In recent years, there has been increasing emphasis on youth programs, such as [[Honor Rows]] and [[Fresh Futures]]. The Jaguars also have a program called ''Playbooks,'' which is designed to help stop illiteracy. Delores Barr Weaver, wife of majority owner Wayne Weaver, is Chairperson and CEO of the foundation, which grants over $1 million annually to organizations that assist "economically and socially disadvantaged youth and families", according to their mission statement.<ref>[http://www.jaguars.com/Foundation/ Jacksonville Jaguars website, Foundation]</ref>

The Jaguar's first head coach, Tom Coughlin, established the [[Tom Coughlin Jay Fund Foundation]] in 1996 to help young cancer victims and their families with emotional and financial assistance. The charity remained in Jacksonville after Coughlin left to coach the [[New York Giants]].<ref>[http://www.tcjayfund.org/about_history.html Tom Coughlin Jay Fund Foundation]</ref>

==Radio and television==
Since the first 1995 season, the Jaguars' flagship radio station has been [[WOKV]].

Since 2007, WOKV simulcasts on both AM 690 and on 106.5 FM. [[Brian Sexton]], Sports Director for WAWS-TV & WTEV-TV, and a past contestant on ''[[Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (US game show)|Who Wants to Be a Millionaire]]'', is the [[play-by-play]] announcer, [[Jeff Lageman]] is the color analyst, and WOKV's Sam Jordan serves as the pre-game and post-game show host with former NFL star and Georgia Tech stand out Marco Coleman serving as post-game analyst. During preseason games, telecasts not seen nationwide are on [[WTEV-TV|WTEV]] channel 47, the [[CBS]] affiliate. Since 2007, the announcers were [[Paul Burmeister]] and former Jaguars Left Tackle Tony Boselli.

:''For other uses, see [[Baku (disambiguation)]].''

{{nihongo|'''Baku'''|獏 or 貘}} are [[Japan]]ese supernatural beings that devour dreams and nightmares. They have a long history in Japanese [[folklore]] and art, and more recently have appeared in Japanese [[anime]] and [[manga]] (see examples cited below).

The Japanese term ''baku'' has two current meanings, referring to both the traditional dream-devouring creature and to the zoological [[tapir]] (e.g., the [[Malaysia]]n tapir).<ref name="nakagawa">Nakagawa Masako 1999 ''Sankai ibutsu: An early seventeenth-century Japanese illustrated manuscript''. Sino-Japanese Studies, 11:24-38. pages 33-34.</ref> In recent years, there have been changes in how the baku is depicted.

== History and Description ==

The traditional Japanese nightmare-devouring baku originates in [[Chinese folklore]] and was familiar in Japan as early as the [[Muromachi]] period (14th-15th century).<ref>Hori Tadao 2005 "Cultural note on dreaming and dream study in the future: Release from nightmare and development of dream control technique," ''Sleep and Biological Rhythms'' 3 (2), 49–55.</ref> Hori Tadao (2005) has described the dream-eating abilities attributed to the traditional baku and relates them to other preventatives against nightmare like the use of [[amulet]]s. [[Kaii-Yōkai Denshō Database]], citing a 1957 paper, and Mizuki (2004) also describe the dream-devouring capacities of the traditional baku.

An early 17th century Japanese manuscript, the ''Sankai Ibutsu'' (山海異物), describes the baku as a Chinese mythical [[Chimera (mythology)|chimera]] with an [[elephant]]’s trunk, [[rhinoceros]] eyes, an [[ox]] tail, and [[tiger]] paws, which in belief protected against pestilence and evil, although eating nightmares was not included among its abilities.<ref name="nakagawa"/> However, in a 1791 Japanese wood-block illustration, a specifically dream-destroying baku is depicted with an elephant’s head, tusks, and trunk, with horns and tiger’s claws.<ref>Kern, Adam L. 2007 ''Manga from the Floating World: Comicbook culture and the kibyoshi of Edo Japan''. Cambridge: Harvard University Asian Center. page 236, figure 4.26.</ref> The elephant’s head, trunk, and tusks are characteristic of baku portrayed in classical era (pre-[[Meiji period|Meiji]]) Japanese wood-block prints (see illustration) and in shrine, temple, and [[netsuke]] carvings.<ref>http://www.sirasaki.co.jp/baku/baku.html. (Accessed September 5, 2007.)</ref> <ref>http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/fv20070216a1.html. (Accessed September 8, 2007.) </ref> <ref>http://www.onmarkproductions.com/html/shrine-guide-2.shtml. (Accessed September 8, 2007.) </ref> <ref>http://www.tokugawaantiques.com/product.php?productid=579. (Accessed September 8, 2007.) </ref> <ref>http://www.lacma.org/programs/ArtWorkMonth0306.aspx. (Accessed September 8, 2007.)</ref> Writing in the Meiji era, [[Lafcadio Hearn]] (1902) described a baku with very similar attributes that was also able to devour nightmares.<ref>Hearn, Lafcadio 1902 Kottō: ''Being Japanese Curios, with Sundry Cobwebs''. Macmillan & Co., Ltd. pages 245-248. ISBN 4-8613-3027-0.</ref>

Since the 1980s in manga, anime, and other forms of popular culture, the baku appears not as a chimera of an elephant and tiger but as a zoologically recognizable tapir. Examples include [[Takahashi Rumiko]]'s manga ''[[Urusei Yatsura]]'' (1995)<ref>Takahashi Rumiko 1995 ''Waking to a nightmare.'' In: ''The Return of Lum: Urusei Yatsura''. San Francisco: Viz. Pp. 141-156.</ref> and [[Mikimoto Haruhiko]]'s manga ''[[Marionette Generation]]'' (2001, original 1990),<ref>Mikimoto Haruhiko 2001 (original 1990) ''A Profile of the Heart''. In: ''Marionette Generation, Volume 1'', San Francisco: Viz Communications. pages 159-178.</ref> and in anime, [[Oshii Mamoru]]’s 1984 film about Lum, ''[[Beautiful Dreamer]]''.<ref>Oshii Mamoru 1984 ''Beautiful Dreamer.'' New York:US Manga Corp. ASIN: B0001Y4MRW.</ref>. Such baku also appear in [[Pokémon]] and [[Digimon]] (Drowzee is a baku-like Pokémon, and Digimon features a character called Bakumon) {{Fact|date=September 2007}}. It also appears in [[Masashi Kishimoto]]'s manga series ''[[Naruto]]'', in the 479th chapter, however designed in the traditional mythological form. "Baku" is a main character in the [[PlayStation 2]] game [[Dual Hearts]], characterized as a "pig" that eats small bugs called esamons that live in the dreamworld.{{Fact|date=October 2007}} However, not all modern baku/yumekui are tapirs ("yumekui" means "dream-eater"). In Satoshi Kon’s 2007 animated film “[[Paprika (2006 film)|Paprika]],” Paprika, a young woman who is kami of the Dreamtime, is a baku/yumekui who devours a dream-villain at the film’s climax.<ref>Kon Satoshi 2007 ''Paprika''. Tokyo: Sony Pictures. ASIN B000O58V8O.</ref> Hakase Mizuki's 2007 manga ''Ba_ku'' (''sic'') and Shin Mashiba's 2008 manga ''[[Nightmare Inspector]]: [[Yumekui Kenbun]]'' are also about baku/yumekui who are not tapirs.<ref>Hakase Mizuki 2007 ''Ba_ku.'' Los Angeles, CA: TokyoPop. (The underscore is correct; it's in the original title.)</ref><ref>Mashiba, Shin 2008 ''Nightmare Inspector: Yumekui Kenbun.'' San Francisco: Viz Media. ISBN 978-1-4215-1758-2.</ref> Merry Nightmare from the manga-series [[Yumekui Merry]] also appears as a human.<ref>Yoshitaka Ushiki 2008</ref> The Playstation game [[FFIX]] features a character named Baku who resembles a pig.{{Fact|date=April 2008}} In April 2009, [[San-X]], a character merchandise company, released a [[tapir]] baku character who looks like a pillow, called Oyasumi Bakura.<ref>http://blog.san-x.co.jp/toretate/2009/04/post_198.html</ref>

Dream-eating, tapir-shaped baku have also entered non-Japanese popular culture. The picture book "The Dream Eater" by Christian Garrison tells the story of a young boy, Yukio, who meets a baku and brings it to his village {{Fact|date=September 2007}}. [[Neil Gaiman]]’s "[[The Dream Hunters]],” which is based on Japanese mythology, features baku. A video game featuring a dream-eating tapir also exists (see external link). The [[Pokémon]] Drowzee is based on the Baku and shares the ability to consume dreams. Some creatures’ cards in the game [[Magic: The Gathering]] have the word "baku" in their names, however they do not have any feature similar to those already mentioned. They are quadrupeds [[spirits]], without head and their torso are made of some objects such as petals, blades, bones, among others.

'''''Pachycetus''''' was a [[Mysticeti|mysticete]] (baleen whale) described by Van Beneden from the [[Oligocene]] of [[Germany]]. It is now considered a ''[[nomen dubium]]''. It is not to be confused with ''[[Pakicetus]]'', an early terrestrial [[Archaeoceti|archaeocete]] [[cetacean]].

'''''Simocetus''''' is an extinct genus of [[toothed whale]] that lived 30 million years ago, in the [[Oligocene]] period. It is known from a single fossil, a [[skull]], found in marine siltstone deposits of the [[Alsea Formation]] on the banks of [[Oregon]]'s [[Yaquina River]] in [[1977]] by fossil hunter of the region, [[Douglas Emlong]]. It was first named by [[New Zealand]] [[paleontologist]] [[Ewan Fordyce]] in 2002 and contains a single species, ''S. rayi''. He found its teeth and jaw different than any other known whale's, and thought it might have been a bottom feeder that fed by suction on marine invertebrates. Features of the basicranium and face suggest that ''Simocetus'' may have had comparable echolocation abilities to modern whales<ref>''Simocetus rayi'' (Odontoceti, Simocetidae, new family); a bizarre new archaic Oligocene dolphin from the eastern North Pacific.

'''''Zoom the White Dolphin''''' ({{fr}} ''Oum le dauphin blanc'') was a 1971 [[France|French]] animated television series, of 13 episodes, created by Vladimir Tarta, directed by René Borg.

The original French version was broadcast in 1971 on [[Office de Radiodiffusion Télévision Française|ORTF]]'s [[France 2|second network]] and rebroadcast in France from 29 June 1981 on [[France 3|FR3]]. An English version was produced and broadcast internationally on networks such as [[CBC Television]] (Canada). The Japanese version of the series was titled ''Iruka to Shônen (イルカと少年)'', which means "the dolphin and the boy".

Production companies involved in the series were Telcia, Saga Films and Japan's [[Eiken (studio)|Eiken]].

==Synopsis==
The series presents the adventures of Zoom, a white [[dolphin]] and his friends, two children who live with their sailor uncle. The cast includes several animals including a [[mynah bird]] (who understands the dolphin language in addition to the language of the other animals and the humans on the island and acts as a translator), a [[koala]], and a [[sloth]].

During their adventures, Zoom meets a beautiful female dolphin, called Za-za-zoom in the English version, with whom he has a baby.

==Product promotion==
Zoom was the mascot for [[Nestlé]]'s [[Milkybar#Galak|Galak]] chocolate brand until the company ended its licence in 2003. However, the series rights-holders sued Nestlé after extant stocks of Galak product featuring the character continued to circulate.

'''Delphinus''' is a [[constellation]] in the northern sky, close to the [[celestial equator]]. Its name is [[Latin]] for [[dolphin]]. It is one of the smaller constellations, ranked 69th in size out of 88. Delphinus was one of the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd century astronomer [[Ptolemy]], and it remains among the 88 modern constellations recognized by the [[International Astronomical Union]].

Delphinus's brightest stars form a distinctive [[asterism]] that can easily be recognized. It is bordered (clockwise from north) by [[Vulpecula]] the fox, [[Sagitta]] the arrow, [[Aquila (constellation)|Aquila]] the eagle, [[Aquarius (constellation)|Aquarius]] the water-carrier, [[Equuleus]] the foal and [[Pegasus (constellation)|Pegasus]] the flying horse.

==Notable features==
===Stars===
The two brightest stars of this constellation, [[Sualocin]] (Alpha Delphini) and [[Rotanev]] (Beta Delphini), are not, as one might expect, names dating from antiquity, but instead date from a star catalogue of 1814 that was published at the [[Palermo Observatory]] in [[Italy]]. When read backwards they form the name Nicolaus Venator which is the Latinized version of the name of the assistant director of that observatory at that time, Niccolò Cacciatore (both Cacciatore and Venator mean hunter).

*[[Alpha Delphini|α Del]] (Sualocin): B9 IV, 3.77m (multiple star association, with 7 components, of which only the A & G components are the primary, the others only optical)
*[[Beta Delphini|β Del]] (Rotanev): F5 IV, 4m - 4.9 m (5-star association, of which A & B components are primary, the rest optical)
*[[Gamma Delphini|γ Del]]: one of the finest double stars in the sky.
**γ1 Del: F7 V, 5.14m
**γ² Del: K1 IV, 4.27m
*[[Delta Delphini|δ Del]]: A7 IIIp, 4.43m
*The above mentioned stars form an [[asterism (astronomy)|asterism]] called ''Job's Coffin''.
*[[Epsilon Delphini|ε Del]] (Deneb Dulfim, or the ''tail of the Dolphin'') is a star of spectral class B6 III with a magnitude of 4
*R Delphini|R Del: Mira-type variable star with a period of 285.5 days; magnitude range between 7.6 and 13.8
*[[Rho Aquilae|ρ Aquilae]] moved across the border into Delphinus in 1992

===Deep sky objects===

*[[NGC 6891]]: [[Planetary nebula]]; 10.5m
*[[NGC 6934]]: This [[globular cluster]] is of magnitude 9.75
*[[NGC 7006]]: at a distance of about 185,000 light-years this globular cluster is extremely remote; 11.5m

==Mythology==

Delphinus is associated with two stories from [[Greek mythology]].

According to the first one, the Greek god [[Poseidon]] wanted to marry [[Amphitrite]], a beautiful [[nereid]]. She, however, wanting to protect her virginity, fled to the Atlas mountains. Her suitor then sent out several searchers, among them a certain Delphinus. Delphinus accidentally stumbled upon her and was able to persuade Amphitrite to accept Poseidon's wooing. Out of gratitude the god placed the image of a dolphin among the stars.{{Fact|date=December 2008}}

The second story tells of the Greek poet [[Arion]] of [[Lesbos]] (7th century BC), a court musician at the palace of Periander, ruler of Corinth. Arion had amassed a fortune during his travels to Sicily and Italy. On his way home from [[Taranto|Tarentum]] his wealth caused the crew of his ship to conspire against him. Threatened with death, Arion asked to be granted a last wish which the crew granted: he wanted to sing a dirge. This he did, and while doing so, flung himself into the sea. There, he was rescued by a dolphin which had been charmed by Arion's music. The dolphin carried Arion to the coast of Greece and left. <ref>Herodotus, ''Histories'' I.23-24; ''also'' [[Aulus Gellius]], ''Noctes Atticae'' XVI.19; [[Plutarch]], ''Conv. sept. sap.'' 160-62; [[Shakespeare]], ''Twelfth Night'' (Act I, Sc 2, line 16)</ref>

Dolphins in mythology

[[Image:Ganga.jpg|thumb|A sketch of the goddess Ganga on her [[Vahana]] (mount) [[Makara (Hindu mythology)|Makara]] ]]
'''[[Dolphin]]s''' appear in a number of [[Greek mythology|Greek myths]], invariably as helpers of humankind. Dolphins also seem to have been important to the [[Minoans]], judging by artistic evidence from the ruined palace at [[Knossos]].

A dolphin rescued the poet [[Arion]] from drowning and carried him safe to land, at [[Cape Taenarum]], now [[Cape Matapan]], a promontory forming the southernmost point of the [[Peloponnesus]]. There was a temple to [[Poseidon]] and a statue of Arion riding the dolphin. ([[Herodotus]] I.23; [[Thucydides]] I.128, 133; [[Pausanias (geographer)|Pausanias]] iii.25, 4)

The Greeks reimagined the [[Phoenicia]]n god [[Melqart]] as Melikertês ([[Melicertes]]) and made him the son of Athamas and Ino. He drowned but was transfigured as the marine deity [[Palaemon]], while his mother became [[Leucothea]]. (''cf'' [[Ino]].) At Corinth, he was so closely connected with the cult of Poseidon that the [[Isthmian Games]], originally instituted in [[Poseidon]]'s honor, came to be looked upon as the funeral games of [[Melicertes]].
[[Image:Estamno de Etruria (M.A.N. Madrid) 01.jpg|thumb|left|Young ''[[aulos]]''-player riding a dolphin: red-figure ''[[stamnos]]'', ca 360-340 BCE, found in [[Etruria]], ([[National Archaeological Museum of Spain|National Archeological Museum, Madrid]])]]
Phalanthus was another legendary character brought safely to shore (in Italy) on the back of a dolphin, according to Pausanias.

Many seals and coins show a man or boy riding a dolphin.

[[Dionysus]] was once captured by [[Etruscan civilization|Etruscan]] [[pirate]]s who mistook him for a wealthy prince they could ransom. After the ship set sail Dionysus invoked his divine powers, causing vines to overgrow the ship where the mast and sails had been. He turned the oars into serpents, so terrifying the sailors that they jumped overboard, but Dionysus took pity on them and [[shapeshifting|transformed]] them into dolphins so that they would spend their lives providing help for those in need.

Dolphins were also the messengers of Poseidon, Greek god of the sea, and sometimes did errands for him as well.

Dolphins were sacred to both [[Aphrodite]] and [[Apollo]].

In [[Hindu mythology]] the [[Ganges River Dolphin]] is associated with [[Ganga in Hinduism|Ganga]], the deity of the [[Ganges]] river. The dolphin is said to be among the creatures which heralded the goddess' descent from the heavens [http://www.worldwildlife.org/cetaceans/results/ganges.cfm] and her mount, the [[Makara]], is sometimes depicted as a dolphin [http://unesco.uiah.fi/water/material/02_water_and_enviroment_html].

The [[Boto]] dolphins in the [[Amazon River]] are believed to be shapeshifters, or ''[[encantado]]s'', who are capable of having children with human women.

Flipper and Lopaka

2010-03-07T01:55:38Z

125.164.3.249:

{{Refimprove|date=July 2007}}

'''''Flipper and Lopaka''''' is an animated series produced by the Australian production company [[Yoram Gross]]. It previously aired on Australia's [[Seven Network]] at various times. It currently airs on Australia's [[ABC3]], a channel dedicated to children's television programs.

== Setting ==
The series takes place on the Millhouse island of Illoka. The islanders survive without the use of modern technology, because bamboo and grass doesn't generate electricity, building huts out of bamboo and fern and eating various fruits found on the island floor. Beneath the surrounding ocean lies Quetso, a sunken Millhouse island now home to many sea creatures. Quetso is now ruled by Flipper's parents.

During season 3, Flipper and Lopaka discover that Quetso was sunk long ago when King Dextorian brought Neptune's Statue and Trident to the surface. At the same time a sea volcano was set off, sinking Quetso and forming Illoka. The curse of Neptune's Trident is still unleashed on Quetso, and Flipper and Lopaka have to sink the Statue to save everyone.

== Characters ==

*'''Lopaka''' is the 12 year old boy who has the power to converse with sea creatures, like his dolphin friend Flipper, and also breathe underwater. He was rescued by Flipper from drowning as a child, and they've been friends since. The islanders of Illoka often wonder where Lopaka disappears to, until the episode 'Secrets and Lies' where to help an injured Flipper, Lopaka must reveal his underwater secret. He wears a red islanders skirt, and an arm band, which all males wear on Illoka. Lopaka is a very loyal friend, to sea creatures and islanders alike.

*'''Flipper''' is a quick-witted, agile, loyal and friendly bottlenose dolphin, whose parents are the rulers of Quetso. When trouble arises in the underwater city (usually thanks to Dexter), the citizens of Quetso turn to Flipper for a plan. And he never fails them. Flipper has a white underbelly, with a light blue top. He is the most trusted person in Quetso, and the biggest target for Dexter.

*'''Dexter''' the giant octopus that is bent on ruling Questo. He is deceiving, manipulative and a down right coward. Many times has Flipper and Lopaka saved him from certain death, but only repays them by concocting a new plan to destroy Flipper. Dexter lives in a grotto in the outskirts of Quetso, under Illoka. Although he praises himself for his 'excellence', Dexter isn't the brightest octopus around. But he should not be underestimated...when he really wants to, Dexter can be a devious as Flipper is a dolphin. Unlike a normal octopus, Dexter only has six tentacles.

*'''Serge''' is the brains behind most of Dexter's plans. He is a bright green coral snake, with a devious and sharp mind. Even though he is truly the brain of Dexter's troupe, Serge never is applauded by his master, but is something goes wrong, he is blamed.

'''Raw Toonage Compation Episodes:''' Larry, Raja, Tick-Tock, Hathi and Lucky.

*'''Raw Toonage Compation Episodes:''' In [[South Africa]], Larry is the fat [[orangutan]], Lucky the [[Indian Vulture]] and Hathi the [[asian elephant]] with Lopaka's friends. A evil [[crocodile]] Tick-Tock catches, A villainous [[South China Tiger]] Raja with Lopaka's enemies.

'''Season 2:''' Professor Troy, Spike and Goose.

*'''Season 2''' Professor Troy is a talented scientist who wants to find out the history of Quetso and Illoka, and the reason that it sank. She is good hearted and her son, Spike, is friends with Lopaka and is surprised the Milihune can get along without twentieth century essentials. He tries teaching them about it by playing along with them. Goose, Troy's offbeat assistant is a young man of a few words. Every time he speaks, he does so with an accent. For example, if he were to say "Help me!", he would say it slowly in a low voice. He wears and aqua vest and jeans.

'''Season Three:''' Captain Barnibus Crab, Kim, Simon, Ultra.'''

*'''Season 3''' Captain Crab is a short, modern-day pirate who has come to the waters of Illoka to search for Neptune's Statue and Neptune's Trident. His niece, 18 or so year-old Kim has come to assist him, and also gain pirating experience. Kim is an eager pirate, and is the technical wiz of the ship. Simon on the other hand, is a large deck hand/chef. He is accident prone, and will commit piracy, but he is really a gentle giant. Unlike the other characters, Ultra is '''not''' a pirate, in fact she isn't even a human. Ultra is a pink dolphin, who was taken from her parents a baby. She grew up in a science lab, and was taken with the pirates to search the ocean floor. After a few incidents, Ultra proves herself a true, worthy companion, and Flipper gladly takes her into the group. Later in the series, Ultra finds her parents, along with a little sister, Delta.

'''''Free Willy''''' is a [[1993 in film|1993]] [[family film]] directed by [[Simon Wincer]], and released by [[Warner Bros.]] under its [[Warner Bros. Family Entertainment|Family Entertainment]] label. The film stars [[Jason James Richter]] as a young boy who befriends a [[killer whale]].

Followed by two [[sequel]]s (with ''Free Willy 4: Escape from Pirate Cove'' expected in 2010) and a short-lived [[animation|animated]] [[Free Willy (TV series)|television series]], ''Free Willy'' was a financial success, eventually making a star out of its protagonist [[Keiko (orca)|Keiko]]. The film also gained a [[cult film|cult following]], followed by a series of [[Parody|spoofs]] on the film's famous climax in [[popular culture]].

[[Michael Jackson]] produced and performed "[[Will You Be There]]", the theme for the film, which can be heard during the film's credits. The song won the [[MTV Movie Awards|MTV Movie Award]] for "Best Song in a Movie" in 1994. It was also included in the album ''[[All Time Greatest Movie Songs (album)|All Time Greatest Movie Songs]]'', released by [[Sony]] in 1999. Jackson also performed songs for the film's first sequel.

==Plot==

The film begins with a pod of [[Orca]]s swimming near the coastline of the [[Pacific Northwest]]. Unfortunately, this family of Orca is tracked down by a large group of [[whaler]]s, and a single orca gets caught in their net. Unable to save him, his family leaves him behind, and he is taken away to a local amusement park.

Sometime later, Jesse, a young boy who has been on the run since he was abandoned by his mother six years before, gets caught by the police for vandalizing a theme park along with a group member of three other abandoned kids (who are not caught). However, his social worker Dwight helps him avoid legal consequences, provided he cleans up the mess at the park. While there, Jesse befriends Willy, the Orca that was caught earlier and has a collapsed dorsal fin. He teaches him behaviors, something the trainer, Rae Lindley, had failed to do. Over time, Jesse and Willy become the best of friends, and Jesse earns a long-term job at the marina while learning to live with his new and supportive foster parents, Glen and Annie Greenwood.

The owner of the amusement park, Dial ([[Michael Ironside]]) sees the talent Jesse and Willy have together, and makes large plans to host "The Willy Show" in hopes of boosting sales and making money for himself. On the day of the first performance, everyone is set to begin, but Willy comes down with stage fright due to the children banging constantly on his underwater observation area. Willy scares them off by smashing against the tank, unintentionally damaging it. Jesse is devastated, but later, while at the tank, Jesse notices Dial's assistant Wade ([[Richard Riehle]]) and other men sneaking into the underwater observation area and damage the tank enough that the water will gradually leak out in an effort to kill Willy. It is surmised that Dial is interested in collecting the insurance money, since he has a $1,000,000 life insurance plan on Willy.

Thus, Jesse, [[Haida]] [[shaman]] Randolph Johnson ([[August Schellenberg]]) and Rae begin plans to release the Orca. They use equipment at the park to load Willy onto a trailer, and Jesse and Randolph 'borrow' Glen's truck to tote Willy to the ocean. They try to stick to back roads to keep from being spotted with a gigantic Orca, and eventually get stuck on a back road. Wade meanwhile notifies Dial that the Orca is missing, and begin a search to find Willy.

Jesse must admit that he needs help, and calls his foster parents using a CB-Radio located in the truck they took. Annie and Glen show up and are able to help free the truck, and continue on to the marina they are headed to, in order to release Willy. Dial knows where they are likely headed, and when they show up, he, Wade and his henchmen are blocking the gate into the marina. Glen charges at them full speed in the truck, forcing the henchmen to move right before Willy's ride plows through the gate to the marina. Glen quickly turns the truck around and backs up Willy into the water, flooding his truck in the process.

Willy is finally released into the water, but Dial and his goons have a backup plan for the death of Willy. The whaling company shows up in the water, releasing nets into the water to trap Willy in the marina and succeed. Jesse has one last chance. He leads Willy to an area where if Willy would just jump, he would be free. Amidst everyone's prayers, Willy makes the jump (in an iconic scene as shown in the film's poster), to the amazement of all his friends, and is free to return to his family. The film ends with the happy trainers and newly formed family watching Willy swim away.

==Cast==
* [[Keiko (orca)|Keiko the Orca]] as Willy
* [[Jason James Richter]] as Jesse
* [[Lori Petty]] as Rae Lindley
* [[August Schellenberg]] as Randolph Johnson

* [[Mykelti Williamson]] as Dwight Mercer
* [[Michael Bacall]] as Perry

* [[Isaiah Malone]] as Vector
* [[Nick Gardner]] as Juan Pedro Gimenez

==Production==
Most close-up shots involving limited movement by Willy, such as when Willy is in the trailer and the sequences involving Willy swimming in the open water, make use of an animatronic stand-in. Walt Conti, who supervised the effects for the whales, estimated that half of the shots of the whale used animatronic orcas (each full-sized whale needed over 250 horsepower of hydraulics).<ref name=Rickett2006/> Conti stated that the fewer movements of a real Orca actually made things difficult in some ways for him and his crew; they had to concentrate on smaller nuances in order to make the character seem alive.<ref name=Rickett2006>{{cite book |title=Designing Movie Creatures and Characters: Behind the Scenes With the Movie Masters |last=Rickitt |first=Richard |year=2006 |publisher=Focal Press |location= |isbn=0-240-80846-0 |pages=161-65 }}</ref> The most extensive uses of CGI in the film is the climax of the film, where Willy jumps over Jesse and into the wild.

==Reception==
===Box office performance===
According to [[Box Office Mojo]], the film had a domestic gross of $7,868,829 in its opening weekend. Around its second week, the film's grossing increased to $8,645,619, only to gradually decrease in weeks to come. The film had a foreign gross of $76,000,000, making a total of $153,698,625 worldwide.<ref>{{cite web |title = Free Willy (1993) |url = http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=freewilly.htm |publisher = [[Box Office Mojo]] |accessdate = October 13, 2009 }}</ref>

===Critical response===
Despite the film's strong earnings at the box office, critical response was generally mixed. ''Free Willy'' currently holds a 50% rating on the [[Rotten Tomatoes]] website, based on 20 reviews.<ref>{{cite web |title = Free Willy (1993) |url = http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/free_willy/ |publisher = [[Rotten Tomatoes]] |accessdate = October 13, 2009 }}</ref>

==Commentary==
* The aquatic star of this film was an orca named [[Keiko (orca)|Keiko]]. The huge national and international success of this film inspired a letter writing campaign to get Keiko released from his captivity as an attraction in the amusement park [[Reino Aventura]] in Mexico City; this movement was called "Free Keiko". Keiko was famously moved to a bigger pool in Oregon by flying in a specially modified United States Air Force C-17 freight aircraft. In Oregon it was discovered that the combination of the chlorination and the excessively warm temperature of the water was causing skin lesions. Keiko eventually died of pneumonia in a Norwegian bay on December 12, 2003.

* The famous scene where Willy jumps over Jesse to freedom was parodied twice by ''[[The Simpsons]]''. Once in the episode "[[The Boy Who Knew Too Much]]" Homer watches a version of the film where Willy fails to clear the rock and lands on Jesse, with his parents saying "oh no, Willy didn't make it, and he crushed our boy". Dismayed, Homer says, "Oh, I don't like this new [[director's cut]]!" The second time was during the third story of "[[Treehouse of Horror XI]]" titled "Night of the Dolphin"; when Lisa frees a dolphin from the Springfield aquarium, it jumps a rock barrier similar to Willy, but its tail smacks Lisa in the face.

* The animated series ''[[South Park]]'' spoofed this film in the episode "[[Free Willzyx]]".

* The film ''[[Step Brothers]]'' featured the climax of the film when [[Will Ferrell]] and [[John C. Reilly]] are sitting on the couch watching the film. As Willy hops over Jesse, they high five and exclaim "Mad Air!"

'''''Orca''''' is a [[1977 in film|1977]] [[horror film]] directed by [[Michael Joseph Anderson|Michael Anderson]] and produced by [[Dino De Laurentiis]] and starring [[Richard Harris (actor)|Richard Harris]], [[Will Sampson]] and [[Charlotte Rampling]].

==Production==
Producer [[Luciano Vincenzoni]] was first assigned to give the film a head start after being called by [[Dino de Laurentiis]] in the middle of the night in 1975. Upon admitting that he had watched ''[[Jaws (film)|Jaws]]'', Vincenzoni was instructed by de Laurentiis to "find a fish tougher and more terrible than the great white". Having had little interest in sea life beforehand, Vincenzoni was directed to killer whales by his brother Adriano, who had a personal interest in zoology. Filming took place largely in [[Newfoundland (island)|Terranova]] during the fishing season. The main orca used for filming was a trained animal from the San Francisco aquarium, though artificial whales of rubber were used also. These models were so lifelike that several animal rights activists blocked the trucks transporting them, confusing them for real orcas. The shark used early in the film was captured by noted shark hunter Ron Tylor. The scenery meant to represent a remote polar region of Labrador was fabricated in [[Malta]] by architect Mario Garbuglia.<ref>''Pane e cinema: il racconto di una vita straordinaria consacrata al mondo del cinema'' by Luciano Vincenzoni, published by Gremese Editore, 2005, ISBN 888440391X</ref> Richard Harris insisted on performing his own stunts in the polar sequences, and nearly died several times doing so.<ref name="harris"/>

== Plot ==
The movie revolves around the exploits of Captain Nolan ([[Richard Harris]]), an [[Irish people|Irishman]] living in [[Canada]], who catches marine animals in order to pay off the [[mortgage]] of his boat called the ''Bumpo'', and return to [[Ireland]]. Nolan's crew is looking for a [[great white shark]] for a local aquarium, but a scientist named Ken ([[Robert Carradine]]) is being targeted by the shark. A [[killer whale]] comes and kills the shark, subsequently saving Ken. This switches Nolan's target to the killer whale and while he is on the journey with his crew, he tries to capture what he believes to be a male whale, but mistakenly harpoons a pregnant female. She tries to commit suicide on the propellers, but Nolan and his crew get the orca on board, where it subsequently [[miscarriage|miscarries]]. The crew hoses the dead fetus overboard as the male watches on.

Later that night, seeking revenge for the death of his mate, the male orca tries to sink the ship. One of Nolan's crew members, Novak ([[Keenan Wynn]]), cuts the dead female off the ship, but the male leaps and drags him into the sea. The following day, the orca pushes his mate onto shore. Alan Swain ([[Scott Walker]]) berates Nolan on his actions after finding the dead whale on shore. Nolan denies responsibility, but Swain and the villagers eventually find out his involvement. The villagers insist that he stay and kill the whale, as its presence is causing the fish vital to the village's economy to migrate. Dr. Rachel Bedford ([[Charlotte Rampling]]), colleague of Ken and whale expert, shows him how similar whales are to humans and tells Nolan that, "If he [the orca] is like a human, what he wants isn't necessarily what he should get." Nolan confesses to Rachel that he empathises with the whale, as his own wife and unborn child had previously been killed in a car crash caused by a drunk driver.

Nolan promises to Rachel not to fight the whale, but the whale attacks his sea-front house, containing an injured crew member of Nolan's, Annie ([[Bo Derek]]) within it. The house starts slipping into sea, and despite receiving help from Nolan and crew member Paul ([[Peter Hooten]]), the whale bites Annie's leg off. Nolan decides to fight the orca, much to the delight of the villagers, although he and Paul are the only crew members left. Dr. Bedford and Ken go with him, as well as a native American man, Jacob Umilak ([[Will Sampson]]), who joins them to share his knowledge.

The crew begins to pursue the whale after it signals Nolan to follow him. Ken is leaning over the side when the whale surfaces and grabs him, killing him in the process. They keep following the whale until they start to reach the [[Strait of Belle Isle]]. Paul starts to get into a lifeboat, but the maddened orca knocks Paul out of the boat and eats him. The next day, the whale shoves an iceberg into the boat and starts to sink it. Nolan and Dr. Bedford escape from the boat, while Umilak is crushed beneath an avalanche of ice.

Nolan and Dr. Bedford hide in an iceberg, but Nolan slips onto another. The orca separates the icebergs, trapping Nolan. The whale jumps onto the ice, causing it to tilt and send Nolan into the water. The whale lifts Nolan up with his tail and throws him onto another iceberg, killing him. Dr. Bedford looks on in shock as Nolan slips into the water in a cross shape. His revenge complete, the whale swims under the ice, while a helicopter is seen to rescue Dr. Beford.

== Reception ==
''Orca'' was poorly received by critics and audiences alike due in part to its similarities to the film ''Jaws'' released two years prior. Upon release the film received only minor theatrical success, but in recent years the film has achieved a [[cult following]] among fans of the [[eco-horror]] [[sub genre]].

Richard Harris enjoyed his experiences during filming, and took offence at any comparison between ''Orca'' and ''Jaws''.<ref name=harris>[http://books.google.com/books?id=A-wxCwq4u4EC&pg=PA242&dq=orca+richard+harris&lr=&cd=1#v=onepage&q=orca%20richard%20harris&f=false ''Richard Harris: Sex, Death & the Movies'', Author Michael Feeney Callan, Edition illustrated, Publisher Robson, 2004 ISBN 1861057660]</ref>

== Production and airing ==
In 1994, ''The Magic School Bus'' concept was made into an animated series of the same name by [[Ellipse Programme|Ellipse]] (France), [[Nelvana]] (Canada), and [[Scholastic Corporation|Scholastic Studios]] (USA-Canada), which premiered on Saturday September 10, 1994. Forte says that adapting the books into an animated series was opportunity to help kids “learn about science in a fun way”.<ref name=Clarke/> Around that time, Forte had been hearing concern form parents and teachers about how to improve science education for girls and minorities.<ref name=Clarke/> Each episode of the show ran about 30 minutes. In the [[United States]], the show originally aired on [[Public Broadcasting Service|PBS]], through South Carolina's [[South Carolina Educational Television|SCETV]] network; it was the first fully animated series to be aired on PBS. The last episode was released on Saturday December 6, 1997, when the series stopped production.

The [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]] network also had the series on the schedule, after it acquired the rights from PBS, on Saturday October 10, 1998; it ran on that network until Saturday January 5, 2002.

''The Magic School Bus'' was also seen on [[TLC (TV channel)|TLC]] and [[Discovery Kids]]<ref name=Clarke>{{cite journal |last=Clarke |first=Melanie M. |date=2005-06-20 |title=A Scholastic Achievement |journal=Broadcasting & Cable |volume=135 |issue=25 |pages=30 |publisher=Cahners Publishing Co./Reed Publishing (USA) Inc. |location= |issn= }}</ref> in the U.S., [[TVOntario]] and the [[Knowledge (TV channel)|Knowledge]] in Canada, [[Pop (television channel)|Pop]] and [[CITV]] in the [[United Kingdom]], with no plans to make more episodes, on November 9, 2002. In 2005, Nelvana sold the show to Cartoon Network.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://proquest.umi.com/pqdweb?index=3&did=925361991&SrchMode=1&sid=1&Fmt=3&VInst=PROD&VType=PQD&RQT=309&VName=PQD&TS=1237925887&clientId=43936http://proquest.umi.com/pqdweb?index=1&did=1396338271&SrchMode=1&sid=1&Fmt=3&VInst=PROD&VType=PQD&RQT=309&VName=PQD&TS=1237925887&clientId=43936 |title=Deals for Toons, Docs at MIPCOM |accessdate=2009-03-26 |last=Dinoff |first=Dustin |date=2005-11-07 |work=(accessed through [[Proquest]] |publisher=[[Playback]]: Canada’s Broadcast and Production Journal }}</ref> The series continued on these six stations until February 4, 2006. Today, re-runs of the series are shown on these stations.

When ''The Magic School Bus'' is syndicated on commercial networks, the ''Producer Says'' segment at the end of each episode is cut out to make space for commercials. The ''Producer Says'' segments are only seen when the series is shown on non-commercial networks (eg. PBS and the Knowledge) and children's networks (commercial breaks are shorter).

The show's theme song called "Ride on the Magic School Bus" was written by Peter Lurye and performed by rock 'n' roll legend [[Little Richard]].

The series was released on [[VHS]] by [[Lyrick Studios]] and HiT Home Entertainment on Tuesday, March 30, 2001, [[KidVision]] between Tuesday, December 13, 1994 and Tuesday, March 3, 1998 and by [[20th Century Fox Home Entertainment]] between Tuesday January 12, 1999 and Tuesday, April 2, 2002, and on [[DVD]] by [[Warner Home Video]] between Tuesday, May 9, 2006 and Tuesday, August 4, 2009. Only the DVDs contain the funding credits. In the VHS and DVD releases, all the episodes are uncut with the ''Producer Says'' segments intact.

==Reception==
Jason Fry, in a column for the online edition of the ''[[Wall Street Journal]]'', expressed an overall appreciation for the show, but wrote that the episode ''The Magic School Bus Gets Programmed'' should have been about on the perils of internet searches and network concepts surfacing at the time, rather than an old-fashioned technology-run-amok story about the respective roles of programmer and machine (although he admitted that the episode was ten years old).<ref>{{cite web |url= http://proquest.umi.com/pqdweb?index=1&did=1396338271&SrchMode=1&sid=1&Fmt=3&VInst=PROD&VType=PQD&RQT=309&VName=PQD&TS=1237925887&clientId=43936 |title= Real Time: From PET to Net; A Kid's TV Show Leaves Your Columnist Pondering a Generation of Immense Change; Online edition |accessdate=2009-03-25 |last=Fry |first=Jason |date=2007-12-10 |work=The Wall Street Journal (Eastern Edition) (Online Edition) (accessed through [[Proquest]]) |publisher=Dow Jones & Company, Inc }}</ref>

'''''Eek! The Cat''''' (retitled ''Eek! Stravaganza'' in 1994) is a [[Canada|Canadian]] [[animated series]], created by [[Savage Steve Holland]] and [[Bill Kopp]], that ran from September 12, [[1992 in television|1992]], to August 8, [[1997 in television|1997]].

==Premise==
Eek! the Cat is about a purple cat named Eek! whose motto is "it never hurts to help". This attitude generally gets him into trouble, from which much of the humor of the show is derived. Other characters include Eek!'s human family, with whom he cannot communicate via spoken language; Sharky the Sharkdog (his worst nightmare), and Eek's girlfriend, Annabelle.

The show featured [[slapstick]] humor and [[popular culture|pop culture]] references. Shows vary from standard cartoon fare to movie [[parody|spoofs]] (''[[Apocalypse Now]]'', ''[[A Clockwork Orange (film)|A Clockwork Orange]]'') and musical episodes; the first [[Christmas television special|Christmas special]] was written entirely in [[rhyme]]. The show featured many [[Cameo appearance|cameos]] by celebrities, some of whom came back for several episodes.

==Episodes==
{{Main|List of Eek! The Cat episodes}}

==Characters==
[[Image:Eek the Cat.jpg|left|thumb|Eek! is normally very optimistic.]]
* '''Eek! the Cat''' (voiced by [[Bill Kopp]]) – Eek! always puts others' safety, needs, and comfort before his own. Eek! can talk with all animals and most humans, but oddly enough cannot converse with his owners—Mom, Wendy Elizabeth and J.B. He commonly exclaims "[[Kumbaya]]!" His motto is that "It never hurts to help!", although, with Eek!, this is frequently not the case. The major running gag within the show is that Eek!'s selfless nature usually gets him caught up in painful situations such as getting caught in [[mail sorter|mail]] and [[baggage handling system|baggage]] sorters (both of which appear designed to intentionally damage their contents) and screaming "Oh Gosh It Hurts!" while the show's [[guitar riff]] theme played.
* '''Sharky the Sharkdog''' – Annabelle's pet [[guard dog]] who defends Annabelle's house with the viciousness (and also the overall appearance) of a [[shark]]. Sharky does not speak, but more than makes up for it in growls. Sharky typically terrorizes Eek! for fun, although occasionally as a reaction to Eek!'s incessant trouble-causing helpfulness. There are moments where the two get along and partner in the plot line, but they happen to be rare. Sharky loves to bite things, Mailmen mostly. Sharky also has quite a bit of skill as a craftsman, he is constantly rebuilding his doghouse after Eek accidentally destroys it. Like [[Snoopy#Doghouse|Snoopy's doghouse]], the interior of Sharky's doghouse resembles a cavernous mansion with several floors and a garage. Sharky has a curious affiliation with firearms and explosives, which often backfire on himself. In many cases Sharky and Eek's relationship follows a subtly satisfying pattern of [[karma]].
* '''Elmo the Elk''' (also known as '''Elmo: The Brown Nosed Reindeer''', '''Incredible Elmo''' and voiced by [[Savage Steve Holland]]) – Eek!'s extremely inept but loyal friend. Elmo typically maintains a courageous façade but is actually quite cowardly. He typically works as a stunt man or in some form of action career. He also believes that there are 31 days in the month of June.
* '''Mom''' (voiced by [[Elinor Donahue]]) – The apparently single mother of the family that owns Eek!. Does a lot of house cleaning and is a student of [[foreign language]]s, especially "Spangalese". Once on a flight to [[England]] she listened to a tape of [[British English#Accent|British-accented]] [[English language|English]], a language she found especially challenging. A [[running gag]] features her absent-minded listening to foreign language cassettes, reciting the nonsensical translations of English phrases while unknowingly causing mayhem.
* '''Wendy Elizabeth''' and '''J.B.''' (voiced by [[Elizabeth Daily]] and [[Charlie Adler]]) – The children of the family that owns Eek!, normal kids and are whiny and spoiled. They watch a lot of television. Their favorite show is ''The Squishy Bearz Rainbow of Enchanted Fun Minute'', a spoof of the ''[[Care Bears]].''
* '''Annabelle''' (voiced by [[Tawny Kitaen]] in 1992-1996, [[Karen Haber]] in 1994, 1995-1997) – A female cat and Eek's girlfriend who acts like a [[Southern belle]]. She is also extremely fat, although Eek! does not seem aware of this (he responds, genuinely surprised, "Really?" whenever someone comments on Annabelle's weight), he just sees Annabelle as being very beautiful. He is attributed as saying about Annabelle: "The more of you there is, the more there is to love." Despite her weight, her arms and legs are very skinny. Eek! fell in love with Annabelle the first time he saw her, when he was hit by the arrow of a one-winged cupid.
* '''Timmy''' – Elmo's brother. He constantly needs money for various absurd medical ailments which Elmo tries to raise with Eek!'s help. These usually consist of very dangerous stunts that only harm Eek! when he gets involved.
* '''Mittens''' – Eek!'s friend who is also a cat. His fur is blue, he always wears red [[mitten]]s, he suffers from extreme [[paranoia]] and he always ends a sentence with the word "Man" (e.g. LOOK OUT, MAN!!). Mittens appears to have been based on [[Dennis Hopper]]'s unnamed photojournalist character from ''[[Apocalypse Now]]'', even portraying the equivalent character in the episode ''Eekpocalypse Now!''
* '''The Squishy Bearz''' – Four colorful bears with their own children's TV program called ''The Squishy Bearz Rainbow of Enchanted Fun Minute''; they're an obvious parody of the [[Care Bears]]. Kozy (brown), Puffy (blue) and Wuz Wuz (pink) all have happy and friendly attitudes. The fourth bear, Pierre (green), who speaks with a [[French language|French]] accent and wears a [[beret]], is bitter and cynical. Kozy is voiced by [[Elizabeth Daily]] (except in "Bearz 'N The Hood" and "Catsanova" wher he is voiced by [[Jaid Barrymore]], Puffy and Wuz Wuz are voiced by [[Cam Clarke]], and Pierre is voiced by [[Bill Kopp]].
* '''Steven''' – A [[squirrel]] who lives in a nearby tree with his wife and four children. Steven and his family are so incredibly boring that even Eek! can't stand being around them for long.
* '''Piggy the Penguin''' – First appearing in the episode "The Lord of the Fleas" (an obvious parody of ''[[Lord of the Flies]]'') Piggy is a small penguin with thick eyeglasses who can often be seen sporting a pig mask. He is often seen in the company of a larger and deeper-voiced penguin as they take part in the bizarre circumstances of the show. Oftentimes, in a running gag, Piggy will discover something strange and attempt to inform his larger companion, who then responds by saying "Shut up Piggy!" Piggy has a distinct British accent, another reference to The Lord of the Flies. Piggy returns several times in quick cameos and occasionally takes a larger role.
* '''Mr. Looney/AKA/Muffinman'''
* '''Hank''' and '''Jib''' (voiced by [[Dan Castellaneta]] and [[Charlie Adler]]) – A pair of government scientists who make recurring appearances, often clutching a cup of coffee each and conversing in dull tones, their words are usually punctuated with 'ums' and 'ers'. A running gag in the show involves the two at a ground station in the company of other scientists after finally getting the [[Hubble Telescope]] to work, only for it to be struck by a character or object from the show's main story, causing it to either malfunction or to point to somewhere on Earth. This often results in either some celebrity showing up on the monitor or the monitor simply going black, which pair of scientists obliviously acknowledge as being the fruit of their research, followed by Hank inquiring, "Who wants lunch?"
* '''Zoltar''' (voiced by [[Brad Garrett]]) - An evil alien bent on destroying Earth by capturing Annabelle and using her as a battery for their planet-destroying laser. His attempts are always being thwarted by Eek! and his friends.

==The Terrible Thunderlizards==
{{Main|The Terrible Thunderlizards}}

''The Terrible Thunderlizards'' segment was introduced in the second season of ''Eek! The Cat''. Like Eek!, this segment was also created by Holland and Kopp. It ran from November 20, 1993, to July 28, 1997. The segment was originally [[Spin-off (media)|spun off]] from ''Eek! The Cat''. In 1994, The Thunderlizards segments were mixed with the Eek! segments into ''Eek! Stravaganza'' (where Eek! was the main segment).

Like Eek!, the segment was also a [[Nelvana]] and [[Fox Kids]] production in association with Savage Studios. The series chronicled the misadventures of a trio of [[dinosaur]] [[mercenary|mercenaries]] released from [[incarceration]] and charged with the task of eliminating two primitive [[human]] beings. However, despite their superior size and firepower and the obliviousness of their targets, the mercenaries always fail with comedic results. When the Thunderlizards are not after the humans, they must protect Jurassic City from the Thuggosaurs.<ref name="tvacres">{{cite web|title=The Terrible Thunderlizards|publisher=[[TV Acres]]|url=http://www.tvacres.com/reptiles_dinosaurs_terrible.htm|accessdate=2007-04-01}}</ref>

==Klutter==
{{Main|Klutter!}}
The Klutter segment came in the fourth season of ''Eek! Stravaganza'' on September 9, 1995. It followed Ryan and Wade Heap and their pet Klutter, who they created from a pile of junk because they couldn't have a real dog due to their father's allergies. There are other characters in the show, like Sandee Heap, who was lonely at first, before Klutter came into their lives. They went on mysteries, a la Scooby Doo like to save animals and solve crimes.

Klutter was unsuccessful with viewers and ended on April 8, 1996 with 8 episodes. Unlike Eek! and Thunderlizards, the segment was created by [[David Silverman]] and Holland. Unlike the other two segments, Klutter was a co-production between [[Savage Steve Holland|Savage Studios Ltd]] and [[Fox Kids]] with [[Film Roman]] for animation production. Some fans consider that Klutter was a combination of Eek! and ''[[The Critic]]''. The crew from ''The Critic'' worked on Klutter, after its demise in early 1995 on [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]].

==Production==
The show premiered on the now defunct [[Fox Kids]] Saturday Morning block in 1992 as ''Eek! The Cat''. The show originally had 13 20 to 22 minute episodes for its first season.

In the second [[season]] in 1993, the show was first retooled into only 11 minutes. During the middle of that season, Kopp had left the show (he still did the voice of Eek! and others) for his own show, ''[[The Schnookums and Meat Funny Cartoon Show]]'' for [[Walt Disney Television Animation]], which in turn would also own Eek! as well. Also in the middle of the season, another segment was added to the show, called ''The Terrible Thunderlizards'', which was retooled for a second time into: ''Eek! And The Terrible Thunderlizards'' at the time.

In the third season in 1994, instead of separating Eek! and Thunderlizards, a third retooling came around, this time changing the name once again to ''Eek! Stravaganza'' (which would be used until the end of the show), keeping the same formula that was used in the second season with ''Eek! And Thunderlizards'', but this time the Thunderlizards became a smaller segment, and Eek! as the main segment, not unlike the second season.

In the fourth season in 1995, a fourth retooling came. This time, another segment called ''Klutter''. It lasted from 1995 to early 1996.

In the fifth season in 1996 and 1997, because of the ratings falling a little and the merger of [[Saban Entertainment]] and [[Fox Kids]], the show was reduced to just 18 11 minute episodes (12 Eeks and 6 Thunderlizards, there were no more Klutters made). The new season aired on September 9, 1996. Fox abruptly stopped airing ''Eek! Stravaganza'' after October 28, 1996, which was canceled. Then, on July 7, 1997, through August 8, 1997 (which was the last new episode), new episodes aired on Fox Kids' Summer Blast. Along with the new episodes, there were 11 minute reruns from the past seasons (mostly Thunderlizards) that aired with 10 new episodes.

Most episodes of ''Eek! Stravaganza'' (except Klutter and some Eek! segments) were then re-run from [[1998 in television|1998]] to [[1999 in television|1999]] on [[Fox Family]], now [[ABC Family]], which has the rights to this show.

For years, all that was available commercially was a single [[VHS]] tape with episodes 2 and 7 on it in 1995. Some time after [[2001 in television|2001]], ''Eek!'' and other properties of [[Saban Entertainment]] were sold to [[The Walt Disney Company]].

A few seasons of the series are now available to watch on the ABC Family website and can also be seen on the [[Jetix]] and [[Jetix Play]] channels in some parts of [[Europe]]. Some episodes have the Fox Children's Productions logo at the end replaced with a newer "You're going down" message.

'''Spacetoon''' is the first [[free-to-air]] animated series and channel in the [[Middle East]] broadcast from [[Dubai Media City]].

== About Spacetoon ==
{{copypaste}}
SpaceToon is an integrated media group involved in TV, Radio, licensing, merchandising, online and interactive products, with operations now extended to Indonesia, Korea and India. It possesses the rights to the largest library of Arabic dubbed animated cartoons in the Arab world. In addition to the extensive global animation collection, SpaceToon's in-house studios produce proprietary cartoon programs that increase awareness of the outside world - the environment, education, health, and family values. Organizations such as the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and the [[World Health Organization]] (WHO) use Spacetoon television as a medium to deliver important public service announcements to the emerging young generation.

SpaceToon is committed to encouraging enlightened ideas and ethical values all over the globe. We strive to encourage learning appreciation and expression consistent with the interests and understanding of young people at all levels of learning. SpaceToon TV is dedicated to:

The Group’s flagship Channel, SpaceToon Kids TV transmits to over 130 million viewers in 22 countries throughout the Middle East and North Africa, 7 days a week, 16 hours a day. It is the most viewed channel in the kids’ genre in that region. (Source: IPSOS Research Study).

Apart from Arabic, the Group launched and English language channel, in 2005 that broadcasts in the Middle East and North Africa, and a channel dedicated to teens. SpaceToon now operates channels in English, Indonesian, Korean and Hindi.

SpaceToon Production has produced a 52 episode educational TV series called “Data City”. SpaceToon owns the licensing rights to some of the hottest brand names in children's characters, including the well-loved Let’s & Go.

SpaceToon was the first channel in the world to categorize its programs into ten “planets” on the basis of suitability for a particular audience in a solar system of ten planets (Action, Adventure, Bon Bon, Comedy, Education, Girls, History, Movie, Science and Sports). This concept is protected by license.

In publishing, the SpaceToon Kids Magazine encourages them to learn about the world around them. Cartoon characters from TV programs guide kids through each section of the magazine, helping them to learn through fun. SpaceToon Girls Magazine is the only magazine entirely dedicated to young girls. The magazine is packed with craft activities, health & beauty issues, along with stories from the "Girls Planet" TV programs. Over 200,000 copies of Spacetoon Kids Magazine are printed every month and are distributed throughout the region. Spacetoon “Girl’s” Magazine has a monthly print run of 50,000 copies.

The company produced a “Mini Theater” which plays in the major cities of the GCC countries. The productions are based on animated cartoons such as “Popeye”, “Pink Panther”, “Detective Conan” etc. SpaceToon also developed the “Think & Play” concept, which allows kids to take part in activities such as the Let’s & Go racing event (which attracted over 140,000 paying competitors in Dubai, Saudi Arabia and Egypt).

SpaceToon business footprint covers the Middle East, North Africa, Indonesia, Korea, Hong Kong, Canada, Japan, and India.

'''''Underclass Hero''''' is [[Sum 41]]'s fourth studio album and the first to be released without former guitarist [[Dave Baksh]]. The album was first released [[July 18]], [[2007]] in Japan. It was released under the [[Island Records]] label and distributed worldwide by [[Universal Records]], and in Canada by [[Aquarius Records (record label)|Aquarius Records]]. The album was released in Australia under Mercury Records. The title's similarity to [[John Lennon]]'s hit "[[Working Class Hero]]" is not a coincidence, according to the band's front man Deryck Whibley, who in an interview with Sun Media claimed Lennon as his favorite songwriter. <ref>[http://jam.canoe.ca/Music/Artists/S/Sum_41/2007/08/01/4385468-ca.html Jam! - Sum 41's "Hero" debuts at No. 1]</ref>

''Underclass Hero'' is over ten minutes longer than any previous Sum 41 album. This is a result of there being a total of fourteen tracks (plus one hidden track) compared to the set of twelve or thirteen the band has used before. Mostly however, the length is due to a majority of the songs being much longer than the usual three minutes existing on preceding full-lengths.

The album has spawned three singles, "[[Underclass Hero (song)|Underclass Hero]]", "[[Walking Disaster]]", and "[[With Me (song)|With Me]]". Another song called "[[March of the Dogs]]" has also been released as an album preview. "Speak of the Devil" and "Count Your Last Blessings" were leaked onto the internet on [[July 13]] [[2007]]. The entire CD was leaked onto file-sharing networks on [[July 14]] 2007.<ref>[http://www6.islandrecords.com/site/artist_newsinfo.php?artist_id=259&item_id=1-103313&system_id=1&page=1 Sum 41- News & Info - "Underclass Hero"]</ref>

In an unofficial online poll,<ref>[http://theresnosolution.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5047 TheresNoSolution.com - Boards • View topic - [Game] Underclass Hero Survival Game]</ref> the song King of Contradiction was voted favorite, with the bonus track "No Apologies" coming in second and the song "Underclass Hero" ranking third.
