the birth of Nado Storm - Cape Town

The year is 1010ad, Tablebay is filled with the earths warrior tribes. Viking longboats, Phoenician trading vessels, Egyptian craft, Chinese and Japanese fighting ships. The 3 dominant local tribes, Khoikhoi , Strandlopers and San. Traveling dignitaries have come from far inland and far up the African coast, Zulu kings and Xhosa rulers. Toltec tribesman on their over sea travels, Hans and Souix elders . All shoulder to shoulder looking towards a common directive.

Representatives from each and every man child clan. To commemorate the unification treaty the tribes agreed to train a universal warrior. He would take on aspects of each and every clan represented. It was given to the San scribes the task to capture the imagery.

Nado Storm - Minder of the Cape winter storms and summer trade winds. Protector of the unification treaty. The tribes gave their nod of approval and it was so. The future passage of time looked prosperous for man. Each succeeding generation would train a personage in the same mould. One from the next, the next from the one.

As is true of all mans best endeavours - A greedy breakaway clan who wanted to control all. Who where not part of the main warrior collective for obvious reasons. Led by a Machiavellian warlord and the one they called the Adamastor managed to poison the minds of a few of the collective. They gre to banish yhe trained Nado Storms to the dark recesses of the Adamastors domain in the Kalkbay caves. plunging the earth into darkness and turmoil. They to where in training through the ages. One from the next, the next from the one. 

A Nado Storm - is now again awaiting the retraining birth to skills - much time has past since the last training. Much work to be done to get rid of the poison.

When once again all mankind's tribes will be gathered on Cape soil. 2010 is set to be more than just a sporting event - As the poison would have worked its way through and now a new day dawns for dark to light.

cape town super hero

In a cave deep in the cape peninsula kalkbay mountains is an ancient rock painting depicting the character we now call the cape doctor or cape of storms. this rock painting is what forms the basis my new comic character, super hero Nado Storm.

Nado Storm is Cape Towns answer to the super heroes of american culture. He stands for what is honourable and crushes all that is currupt within our system. Nado storm the comic is under construction with the first collectors story confined to just 10 first edition copies. I plan to introduce Nado the new South African super hero in a comic strip in a local news paper. starting with the beginning of the concept. a group of cavers stumble on the cave painting and unleash the understanding of the ancient cape of storm character - South Africa is so desparately in need of a spiderman or superman which is essentially a South African and can fictiously clean up the over whelming criminal element.

the energy of the ancient culture that first depicted this character has now been absorbed into all preceding inhabitants of the cape. we are all linked to the ferocity of the storms by our life styles. disrespect the earth the cape and we all reap the whirlwind.

this character or ancient warrior controls the forces of nature that unleash themselves on our Cape Town coast during winter. a Thor type hero - not a god but a universal soldier. he wears the skins of his prey - the headdress of a caracal cat, the teeth of the great white shark. the clouds and storm elements he controls are the ancient cape buffalo herds, cape lion and cape elephant that roamed our coast line for centuries and revisit us to remind us of their existence. a swirling mass of animal storm clouds , a reminder that shows us we are not far off from becoming extinct ourselves.

the character is of no race and represents us all, he does not represent any 1 culture. he is an amalgamation of the rich tapestry of culture which is cape town. the ancient San and Hottentots used to wear the skins of their prey, I propose the character also wears a lorica segmantata - which keys him into a European influence. The cave painting deep in the kalkbay mountains needs to be revealed to the world. Nado is ready to do battle with the Gangsta element of our society. bring the rain.

attached please find jpgs of the character along with the cave paintings depicting the character.

Nado Storm , Doctor Cape and squall are awaiting their launch - Capetonian criminals beware - Nado storm takes absolutely no prisoners.
