Why is the Republic said to be red? Everyone may have asked this question hundreds of times, and teachers and parents have already given the answer: That is because the Republic was bought with the blood of heroes, and the blood of the Republic contains the red genes and red blood of the heroes. Tradition.
For some reason I always read hemoglobin as hemo-goblin. I watched Lord of the Rings too much.
There’s also Hemo-Goblin, the vampire who was created by a white supremacist group for ethnic cleansing in South Africa from The New Guardians.
