Super Hero Obit: The Dating Duo:Rainbow League of Justice

Camden New Jersey—Dobie Cornwall and his faithful side kick and long time companion, Shane Brighton were found slain on Friday, in what police are calling a ‘lovers quarrel’, murder-suicide.
The crime fighting Dating Duo, as they were known in the early 90’s, became famous after breaking up a near riotous Victoria Secret lingerie party.

In 2000 the duo became the first super heroes to celebrate a civil union. Super Heroes like Ollie the Obscure and The Fight Instructor attended.
Dobie Cornwall was past president of the Rainbow League of Justice and a florist in Hoboken before embarking on the super hero path.
Shane Brighton, from Britain, was a hairdresser when he met Mr. Cornwall, fifteen years his senior.
The crime fighters traveled all over the United States, wherever injustice and intolerance arose.
A pink triangle in the sky was thier signal that trouble was afoot.
Surviving the duo is their adopted son Norbert the Nerd.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Rainbow League of Justice.
