Captain Nice was a ... oh, fooey on dis writin' game. Look it up yerself, ya lazy schnook. I ain't here fer yer edification. Freeload is Episode One, in glorious Blur-O-Vision™ and CrapColor®, but you're lucky to get that, you whining ingrate. This can be a weekly feature, should youse bums be desirous.

ReplyDeleteThe Phantom "Ghost who walks" and his dog Devil.I sent away with coupon from back of comic to get a skull ring.Wore it to school and was shamed into taking it off by teacher! My Hero for many pre-teen years.
ReplyDeleteMy vote is for Doctor Strange, not really a superhero at all - they would have called him Superstrange. Or Doctorman. Neither of which really works. But he was the only one to have legitimate rights to wear a cape. All the other cape-rockers look a little daft - why a cape? If I was actively thwarting evildoers the last wardrobe item I'd look for would be a fucking cape. My favorite DC superhero was Green Lantern, because I never had the least idea what his powers were, or how he used them, or why. Overheard in a DC meeting: "What's the most stupid name we can think of for a superhero?" "I know! How about Lantern Man? We can give him mysterious lantern powers!" "Great! But let's identify him with a color which ain't been used much - green?" "Green Lantern Man! I love it!" "We'll give him a dog! No! An ant!" "Green Lantern Ant!" (etc.)
