If I ever invent an ass-kicking, 1940s superhero, I will name her Brazilla Brazell.
The real Brazilla Barzell lived in Warren Township, Columbia Co., Arkansas in 1880:
Or maybe he was really a 23-year-old man living in Rochester, NY in 1870:
The 1910 census lists 91 men and women named Brazilla, including Brazilla Moreheart, Brazilla Cannon, Brazilla Fest, and Brazilla Gunnings.*
Brazilla wears many disguises.
*I imagine that "Brazilla" may be an evolution of Barzillai, which is a perfectly orthodox Bible name.
