Singaporean Is The Spirit Of 21st Century

Finally, a superhero (or in this case, a superheroine) who proudly wear the Singapore flag! Eat yer heart out, Cap! Jenny Quantum, "The Spirit Of 21st Century", is the successor of Jenny Sparks, "The Spirit Of 20th Century", who died on December 31st, 1999, at the turn of the century. Born in Singapore immediately after Sparks (a chain-smoking good ol' brit) sacrificed herself in Warren Ellis's final arc "The Outer Dark", Quantum invited troubles of disastrous measures to her hometown (our friendly neighbourhood garden city) when supervillains (aptly named, The Americans) gained knowledge of her existence. Featuring massive level of destruction done to Singapore previously unseen in comic history (anyway we've only seen the Singapore Branch of The Brotherhood of Evil Mutants in protest of Magneto's trial in Singapore during the "Avengers VS X-Men" arc...which of course wouldn't have happened at all in reality, mutants or no mutant. Singaporean just ain't cut out for protests), the baddies practically clear up our beloved garden city, of which consequence of the battle was never properly told (can't help but wonder about Singapore's existence in the Wildstorm Universe, though pretty sure that Wildstorm's resident "man of steel" Apollo got raped). Surely, if "The Spirit Of 20th Century" was appropriately enough, a tough-as-nails English lady, then probably the no-nonsense, kiasu Singaporean Spirit are one to embrace for the 21st Century.
