:''For information on the Silver Age Red Tornado, see: Red Tornado.'' The Red Tornado is a fictional character, a superheroine in the DC Comics universe, debuting during the Golden Age of Comic Books. Created by Sheldon Mayer, she first appeared in her civilian identity as Abigail Mathilda "Ma" Hunkel in All-American Publications' ''All-American Comics'' #3 (June 1939), and became the Red Tornado in ''All-American Comics'' #20 (Nov. 1940). As the Red Tornado, she was one of the first superhero parodies, as well as one of the first female superheroes (possibly the very first〔Coogan, P. (2006). ''Superhero: The Secret Origin of a Genre''. Austin, Texas: MonkeyBrain Books〕), and, when occasionally disguised as a man, comics' first cross-dressing heroine.〔(Ragnell's Written Word (May 11, 2006): "Mama-Thon — The Red Tornado" )〕 (Madame Fatal, earlier that year, was the first cross-dressing hero.) ==Publication history== Initially as simply Ma Hunkel, the Golden Age Red Tornado originated in Sheldon Mayer's semi-autobiographical humor feature "Scribbly", about a boy cartoonist, in ''All-American Comics''. The feature ran through ''All-American Comics'' #59, in 1944,〔(Justice Society Profile: The Red Tornado )〕 the year DC Comics absorbed All-American Publications. The character reappeared in a three-page "Scribbly" story by Mayer in DC's ''Secret Origins'' #29 (Aug. 1986). She had a one-panel appearance in ''Animal Man'' "Deus Ex Machine", in a sort of limbo for characters who at the time weren't written into mainstream continuity. In Alex Ross's classic 1996 graphic novel ''Kingdom Come'', set in an alternative DC future, the "Original Red Tornado" is identified as Ma Hunkel: she can just be seen at the top-left hand side of the Justice League line-up which includes Superman and Norman McCay. In issue 3, (page 135 of the collected edition), panel 1, she can be seen on a balcony looking down at Superman and McCay and wearing a far more sophisticated, armour-like costume. She appeared briefly in 1998's ''DC Universe Holiday Bash II'' special, in the story "I Left My Heart at the Justice Society Canteen", and in ''All-Star Comics 80-Page Giant'' #1 (Sept. 1999), in a story, "Way of the Amazon", in which Ma Hunkel takes valorous center stage amid Liberty Belle, Phantom Lady and Wonder Woman. She has continued to appear through the mid-2000s, mainly as a supporting character in ''Justice Society of America''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Red Tornado (Ma Hunkel)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
