The Profile

The Profile

From whence came that strange man with a great ability
to read a person’s background, their habits and their traits?
He seemed so other-worldly with his proficiency
to guess people’s reactions and ultimately their fates.

Though great at what he did, amoral was that man.
He’d help Moon Knight, but other times did not,
like the time when hired by Daredevil,
assisted by an Avatar, with Moon Knight, he then fought.

From whence came this strange character so mutant-like?
Although he had great power, one flaw had he!
Yes, he could read all humans’ minds
and minds of heroes powered by technology.

However, if a hero’s powers were as if “God-given,”
like those of supernatural Moon Knight.
When such heroes were in costume, then the Profile
could not “read” them and he  was filled with fright!

You appear to have done a fantastic job with these characters, Andrea, despite the fact that I am unable to comprehend them.

I am not familiar with Video Games or movies that appeal to the youth today or in the past even. LOL..I guess you did a good job with this one, but I can't say I know. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my pages. Sara

I have to read about them and just hope I understood it all correctly.
