These are just some of the reasons I am righting up Bruce Lee as a Martyr.
Not only did he break barriers and was awed by many but his real life was
full of elements of the supernatural. His death under mysterious
circumstances as well as his life lends well (with added flavor for HoE) to
the Hell on Earth world.
