Today I've decided to address a common, name-related misconception. and explain a few things about my suit. You see, I've had a lot of people ask me why I chose "Lloyd" as my super
name, instead of something more related to my powers, and
why my suit isn't themed..
Well firstly, your suit is not only something you throw together to hide your real identity, it's a form of wearable art. Art is always the artist expressing themselves, and a suit always expresses a part of who you are. Many super suits are themed after their creator's powers- Powers being a part of who that person is.. Thing is, I started my super hero career and created my suit back before I had any powers, so I had to choose some other aspect of my personality to theme it off of: My suit is simple and blue because I love simple things and royal blue has always been my favorite color, so I went with that.
As for my name, did you know that many civilians know me as "BlueGirl"? This is because of the media. Newspapers and reporters are unfailingly always the ones whom give new super heroes their names. Take Superman, Ironman, and Spiderman for instance-- Well, Spiderman got his name from a wrestling match, didn't he?
Anyway, very few non-super powered people know that I actually go by 'Lloyd'.
'Lloyd' within it's self doesn't have anything to do with me, but it became my super name during a hilarious string of events which involved my cousin being obsessed with something called The Legend Of The Dragoons and more particularly interested in a character called Lloyd. He spent a full day telling me and my sisters about it and how cool that character in particular was. Later that night, I suited up for my very first super hero mission but somehow got framed and ended up answering to the Justice League. Batman must have recognized me from all those years ago when I first met Jack, and started pressuring me for what I called myself.
He didn't accept "My identity is a secret.",
nor did he accept "I haven't decided on a name yet.",
or "Cinderella?".
Finally Flash suggested Blue Girl, but I wasn't big on those cheesy-classicy-obvious names so I said; "That's dumb.. My name is.... Lloyd." Ever since then, it just sorta stuck, and like my plain blue suit, I have felt no need to change it.
What's more, apparently to many pessimists- Batman and Nick Fury included, "LLOYD" stands for::
"Long Living Optimistic Young Dork."
Which is very witty and true to my personality and power, so I'm adopting it as my super name's true meaning. How can I resist? After all, Bat-Buddy and Nicker-bopper are never wrong. >=D
Lloyd out!
