Doesn't "Lemaris" mean in Latin "of the sea"?

The net question is: DOES the United States have the legal right to demand the extradition of someone for killing Americans in a third country(Israel) as I asked in my OP? Jordan maintains(and I think it's right to do so) that it does NOT!

Strange as it may seem to Americans, other countries take their sovereignty as seriously as does the US!

In Daredevil #13, we are told that New Attilan has not only signed a treaty with New York(whether with the city or the entire state as a whole is unclear) but said treaty gives the New Attilan Security Service jurisdiction over murders involving(whether as victim or perpetrator presumably) its citizens.

I am aware of the "miracle exception" in comics but doesn't this defy common sense?- firstly only the US federal government can sign treaties(according to the US Constitution) and secondly, if "location, location, location" is the most important thing in movie making, then surely "jurisdiction, jurisdiction, jurisdiction" is the most important thing in law enforcement. If a Briton is murdered in New York(or commits a murder), then surely the NYPD and the State of New York has jurisdiction rather than the Metropolitan Police(I once watched an episode of CSI:NY in which a Spanish cop flew to the Big Apple to investigate the murder of a fellow countryman-who was also a family member- but had NO power to take part in the investigation per se- in real life of course NO self respecting police force would allow its officers to take part in the investigation of a murdered family member).

Just thinking

PS I have read "The Law of Superheroes"( Gotham Books, 2012

Yes I DO like thae fact that Daredevil is Catholic(as are other Marvel heroes/heroines such as the X-Men's Nightcrawler( Kurt Wagner) who is from Bavaria( a predominantly Catholic area of Southern Germany which produced Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos as well as Benedict XVI)!, Bruce Banner,(Hulk) the Invisible Woman and Human Torch, anti heroes like Venom(aka Eddie Brock), the Punisher( Frank Castle, a former seminarian before he became a US Marine and ultimately a black clad vigilante) whereas the Thing(Bashful Ben Grimm), Shadowcat (Kitty Pryde), Moon Knight(Marc Spector) and the late Doc Samson are all of the "Hebraic persuasion"- ie Jewish.

What (if any) is the relationship between Leir and other pantheon's thunder gods- such as the African Shango or the Slavic Perun?

Just curious- what ARE Sunfire's(and by extension the rest of Big Hero 6's) relations with other superhero groups in Japan's part of the world such as China Force and the Winter Guard? I KNOW that he has a"beef" with Russia over the Kuriles Islands(seized by Stalin in the closing months of WWII in August 1945), but does he "leave politics to the politicians"(as most superheroes do) or make an issue of it?

Terry

Actually he DID join them(see Giant Size X-Men #1) but quit after a single mission- I think he was too much of a Japanese nationalist at heart to be part of an international team(never mind one headquartered in the US)!

Terry

Yes, but even so, does it NOT occur to Tim Allen that he sounds awfully like the liberal/left wing "generation snowflakes" that conservatives are so fond of ridiculing for their alleged need for "safe spaces" and "trigger warnings"???

Terry

PS I routinely watch TV comedies and dramas such as "Law and Order" "Frasier" "Everybody Loves Raymond""Shark" whose casts include people like Angie Harmon(presumably no relation to Mark Harmon of NCIS fame) Kelsey Grammer, Patricia Heaton and James Woods whose politics are definitely NOT on the same page as my own!

Melania Trump is a Christian conservative??? She never struck me as being particularly pious!

Terry

Such as?
