HAPPY CHINESE LUNAR NEW YEAR White Rabbit of Marvel Comics

 

Happy Chinese New Year. It is the year of the rabbit and to celebrate we have Marvel Comics Lorina Dodson, AKA White Rabbit, being bound and gagged for the New Year.  Not a good time for a rabbit themed character.

For Chinese people, the rabbit is a tame creature representing hope and life for a long time. It is tender and lovely. The moon goddess Chang'e in the Chinese legend has a rabbit as her pet, which stimulates the thought that only this creature is amiable enough to match her noble beauty. Another way of saying is that the Rabbit is the incarnation of the moon goddess per se and it is always a symbol of pureness and auspiciousness.

People born in the Year of the Rabbit are gentle and approachable. They have a decent, noble and elegant manner.

Dr. Lorina Dodson better known as White Rabbit is a prominent antagonist from Marvel Comics, mostly acting as an adversary to Spider-Man, Frog Man and Wolverine. She is a deranged supervillain who as her name would suggest is obsessed with the works of Lewis Carroll so much so to the point where she incorporates a heavy Alice's Adventures in Wonderland theme into both her physical appearance and villainous activities.

Born from a wealthy family, the White Rabbit grew up in a safe, secure environment and was showered with all the material possessions she desired. However, she was bored, and only found entertainment from old novels, such as Alice in Wonderland, her favorite. As she grew older, her family married her off to an older gentleman named Lewis Dodson. She eventually had him killed, and used her inheritance to buy various gadgets so that she could experience a life full of danger and excitement.

While the White Rabbit is clearly insane, she is quite articulate and has a great knowledge of literature. She spent her first days as a criminal robbing various fast food joints, most notably "Kwikkee Burgers." She and her gang were eventually confronted by the Frog-Man, who was able to defeat her hired help only with Spider-Man's aid. The White Rabbit escaped, but struck later at a book fair, where she found the two super heroes once again. The White Rabbit, witnessing her men getting defeated, fled using her jet-boots, but they began to malfunction, allowing Frog-Man to knock her into a building.

Much later, she resurfaced, plotting to get her revenge on Frog-Man. She allied herself with the Walrus, but they were defeated by Spider-Man, Frog-Man, and Frog-Man's father, Leapfrog. Ditching the Walrus, she popped up again later with two new villains, Mad Hatter and Dormouse, though they were both actually hired actors as no other supervillains would work with the White Rabbit. She formed a new plan by capturing Grizzly and Gibbon and ransoming them for one billion dollars in gold. She also created several genetically-altered rabbits, who were ready to eat the two so-called heroes. The Mayor, however, only offered the White Rabbit $2.50, which caused her to raise the ransom to five billion dollars, but Spider-Man, under the alias of the Bombastic Bag-Man, infiltrated the White Rabbit's hideout and battled her giant robot. She was then knocked out by Grizzly.

Following that event, the White Rabbit became romantically involved with Arcade, and updated her outfit. Wolverine and Black Cat eventually caught the pair and took them to the Savage Land, where the White Rabbit became queen of a group of tribal warriors. She somehow made it back to the United States, where she fired Mallory Book as her lawyer.

Recently, the White Rabbit joined The Hood's army. She, among several other enemies of Spider-Man, was hired to kill Mister Negative.
