"Black Cougar is the first superhero who has one goal and that goal is to protect children," or so claimed creator Silvio DiSalvatore when he appeared on the show "American Inventor" this past June to pitch his invention: a superhero named Black Cougar that he vowed would help to "cougarize" the world. I don't think you need me to tell you that he did not make it to the next round. Fortunately though, it turns out he'd already made a BLACK COUGAR movie a few years back. This sounds like a job for The Foywonder!

"This notion of the first superhero to protect children made me ponder several ethical questions regarding Black Cougar's superheroics. First of all, don't most superheroes protect children? I'm fairly certain most superheroes make protecting children high priority. Even The Punisher has been known to protect children and he mass murders bad guys all the time. I suppose what DiSalvatore meant was that protecting children was Black Cougar's primary cause for concern as opposed to just be an all-purpose crimefighter. That brings up yet another question; if Black Cougar was walking down the street and saw a bank robbery in progress, would he intervene? Would Black Cougar only stop the bank robbery if he knew for certain there were children within the bank in danger? If not, would he just ignore it and let the proper authorities handle the matter?"

This is also a Foyeurism where I think the stills from the movie are more effective than anything I could write. Trust me; you'll see. Just click below and you'll see.
