Captain Africa

I am an African warrior, born from the womb of the giant flower, deep in the forest. Mother Nature has bestowed me powers to protect Her creation, and Her divine legacy. Forest fires turn to mist, when I blow into them; Poachers run away when I summon red ants with my mind; I sometimes shape-shift into a guide, if you are lost in the forest. When I’m hungry, bees carry honey in giant leaves, and bring it before my shrine. I am immortal, even to the gods…. Date: 03/12/2013

Great title and it would be good to know a Captain Africa could do all those things.

Thanks sir. I have fused the feminine and masculine nature together, to become One. The Giant Flower is the feminine representation of birth, and Captain Africa is the masculine representation of aggression and strength.
