Limerick Challenge

Here's another simple challenge-- make up some rhyming verse that could potentially relate to several character, with a corker that narrows the field down to one. For example...

1) I loved my wife, my better half,
but duty called, to pave my path,
to dizzying heights, I did aspire
ever to fight, and face the fire,
adversity took, the place of honors,
for I mistook, just like Curt Connors

A) Aquaman
B) Adam Strange
C) Man-Bat
D) Martian Manhunter
E) I Don't Know

All four of these characters were married at some point. All of them are responsible, altruistic sorts. Three of them are known to take flight, and one of them has a recognized vulnerability to fire. However, the reference to Curt Connors specifically indicates a case of science gone wrong which mutated the scientist. Only Dr. Kirk Langstrom, who developed a serum to give Batman super-powers, but instead transformed himself into the Man-Bat, fully fits the rhyme.
