Red Tornado – Ma Hunkel

Beware the Wrath of the War Time Mother….

Abigail “Ma” Hunkel was the not so typical American wife during World War II.   As women were asked to do more and more as the men were overseas, Ma saw all sorts of injustice go on and she reached a breaking point when she noticed two young boys in trouble.

Donning a busted up soup pot on her head, a pair of long johns, some of her husband’s athletic gear, and her dishwashing gloves, she took to the street and busted some heads as she fought to keep the neighborhood safe.

A pre-cursor to the neighborhood crime patrols or Guardian Angels of New York City, Ma stood by every day stopping crimes in her hamlet.   She was even invited to join the JSA, but could not stay because she had ripped her costume in a sensitive area.

Ma disappeared shortly after the war it is presumed that she retired and became a grandmother in her age today.
