You could just vote; you don't even have to post.
I returned you PM the other day, did you ever get all that straightened out? Sorry you were having so much trouble.

Flagg III's file card says he's the sixth generation of Flaggs to have graduated from VMI. This is one hell of a military legacy.
1st graduate: Flagg? 2nd graduate Flagg? 3rd graduate: James Montgomery Flagg? (1877-1960) 4th graduate: James Longstreet Flagg, Sr 5th graduate: James Longstreet Flagg, Jr 6th graduate: James Longstreet Flagg, III

Not sure who I'd vote for, honestly - that's one of those things that ends up being highly subjective and is ultimately up to the "writer".

I would have to imagine that it was intended that James Longstreet (The Confederate General) would have been an ancestor at some point. Did General Longstreet attend VMI, or was he a West Point Graduate? Just using the name as a guide, it's reasonable to conclude that Gen Longstreet had a daughter or granddaughter who could not carry the Longstreet name as her surname, but handed it down to her son as a Middle name. Which would be a pretty Southern thing to do.

Yeah, that idea makes sense to me - Gen. Longstreet's daughter probably married a Flagg (from another prominent Virginia family, no doubt) and they named their son "James Longstreet Flagg". In Virginia (and all over the South), and name like that would mean a lot to the older, established families.

The only way to look at them is objectively, taking into account all the positives and negatives of the characters. Batman gets the edge over SE and it's because of his mind.
