INVENTOR of the MONTH
Lamont Morris: Toy Innovator
Lamont Morris holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Cleveland Institute of Art. After graduation he was hired by the toy creation firm of Marvin Glass & Associates in Chicago. Two and a half years later in 1988 he was hired by Hasbro, where he has worked ever since. He is employed in the Advance Concepts Department as a product design manager.
Morris holds five patents for toy products that he invented or developed innovations for. Four patents are assigned to Hasbro and one is assigned to Marvin Glass & Associates:
An upgraded version of the Real Meal Oven by Easy Bake
The Travel Lite Brite picture maker
Play-Doh Compound Extruder
Interactive Dance Ring
Rotating Ring and Character Toy (Marvin Glass/Fisher Price)
Lamont Morris was born in 1958 in Shaker Heights, Ohio the youngest of three children. Morris’ early inspiration was the renaissance inventor and painter Leonard da Vinci and the musician and guitar player Jimi Hendrix. While in Chicago (1986-1988) Morris was inspired by the charismatic Oprah Winfrey. “I felt that I could make a difference in my chosen field the way she was making in her profession,” he says. And between these unrelated influences, Leonardo da Vinci, Jimi Hendrix, and Oprah Winfrey, I am grateful to have been inspired in some way by their talents and creative energy.”

comparing poundage ain't practically nothing since feats of lifting fantastic weight and such is completed on the regular basis and the weight scale stops at (in excess of)100 ton class due to the fact you do not bother counting up pounds. allow the comics speak or themselves. The Hulk can be a raging monster powered by massive amounts of gamma rays. He does not get tired and physical stress just makes him generates(absorbing the ambient energy necessary) far more gamma power to fuel his strength. His state of mind contributes to the stress level also and we all now the sayings: Receiving tired? The Hulk by no means tires!I can only get stronger! the longer hulk fights the stronger Hulk gets!The madder hulk gets the stronger hulk gets! Hulk Smash!! Hulk is strongest there exists!!!
