Destroyer

In naval terminology, a destroyer is a fast maneuverable long-endurance warship intended to escort larger vessels in a fleet, convoy or battle group and defend them against smaller powerful short-range attackers. They were originally developed in the late 19th century as a defence against torpedo boats, and by the time of the Russo-Japanese War in 1904, these "torpedo boat destroyers" (TBD) were "large, swift, and powerfully armed torpedo boats designed to destroy other torpedo boats." Although the term "destroyer" had been used interchangeably with "TBD" and "torpedo boat destroyer" by navies since 1892, the term "torpedo boat destroyer" had been generally shortened to simply "destroyer" by nearly all navies by the First World War.

Before World War II, destroyers were light vessels with little endurance for unattended ocean operations; typically a number of destroyers and a single destroyer tender operated together. After the war, the advent of the guided missile allowed destroyers to take on the surface combatant roles previously filled by battleships and cruisers. This resulted in larger and more powerful guided missile destroyers more capable of independent operation.

    • Daddy Longlegs

    Daddy Longlegs first appeared in Spider-Woman #47 (December 1982), and was created by Mark Gruenwald. Ramsey Kole is a dancer of short stature who steals and drinks some experimental chemicals that Bill Foster was working on, and grows to a height of 15 feet with extremely long arms and legs. Spider-Woman intervenes when he attacks the audience at a theatre, and after she defeats him, he is taken away by the Locksmith along with a number of other superhumans. Daddy Longlegs is later restored to normal by Dr. Karl Malus, who used samples from Kole to purify the Pym Particles.

    Destroyer

    by: Static-X

    Take it down with a steam hammer
    Pack it hard
    Lead shot in your mood shooter
    Choose your poison
    Have a drink with your painkiller
    Take us down
    Wreck a party like it don't matter
    Smash it up
    Dead guitar
    Broken beat maker
    If I could I'd trade it all for an automator
    Here it comes
    Oh, you do it again
    You do it again
    Destroyer
    Cosmo sucker
    Bad breath crier
    Bad timing robocrap
    You're a great liar
    Overdrive
    Deep dirt on your shit highway
    Black-eyed
    Fuzzy filter
    Hollow head wobble
    Take a trip
    Get a grip before you get in trouble
    And you wonder why you're called the
    destroyer-stroyer
