Storybook Hero Alright super sleuths, what's the clue for "Storybook Hero" going to be? Eh?
I have previously said that I thought it'd have to do with the Bible. Someone else said they thought it'd be Iceman, from the X-Men comic books. (It was referenced in the Caleb Moore obit in The Push Times.)

Davy Crockett...or perhaps the Biblical David.
Also, maybe Peter Pan or Robin Hood.

I like Peter Pan, but suspect Robin Hood would be easier for planting clues. Other green tights which come to mind include The Jolly Green Giant and the Keebler Elf, just because a product tie-in might still be in the works. (Storybook references could be to a generic giant or elf.)

Okay, I was wrong about the color being "television, tuned to a dead channel," but I'm still going with Robin Hood for the storybook hero -- especially in light of the poll option that was removed .

I agree SB. After seeing the green tights info I think the whole steal from the rich and give to the poor thing makes it a pretty tight fit imho.

Did you just call Ollie Queen, the Green Arrow, "Arrowman"?
He, nor I, will ever forgive you.

I'm going to have to cast my vote for Peter Pan as he wears green tights too and ABC is related to Disney.

plus, he's more story book than comic book.
although, i agree that something biblical could be it as well.

Peter Pan Yup, that looks to be the clue (or rather the obvious clue, not the "clue within a clue" if you subscribe to that particular way of thinking)
tixiv ter = Peter Pan
as already relayed on other boards.
