Fighting Words!
Joe Carter at Evangelical Outpost issued severe fighting words yesterday.
My favorite was "Dazzler." She was an invention of Marvel Comics specifically because they had Bo Derek signed to do a movie during the height of the roller disco minute. She was built like Bo and had powers designed specifically for the special effects capabilities of the time. Jeez, what a loser. No superhero ever dies, they just try and revive the character, as Marvel has through the years.
Any character that has ever lasted as long as Superman (and there are not many) has been pretty lame at one time or another. Never read a Batman from the period of that TV show, your eyes will hurt! Thanks for bringing this up Joe!
I’ve always thought that Superman was the worst superhero in the history of comics.I must assume Joe is not a true fan of the medium. (Actually Joe's post and the links he gives are very funny, but if you can't argue in good humor about comics....) The list of truly lame superheroes is spectacular, but you must have inhabited comic shops on a weekly basis for years to be familiar with them, most of them have only lasted an issue or two.
