kav Posted July 17, 2020 Author Share Posted July 17, 2020 World's Dummest 168-Stupidman says 'lets take him we outnumber him!" about the Composite Stupidman, who has all the power of the Legion of Stupidheroes and can turn them all into helium just using one of the Legionnaire's abilities...

kav Posted July 17, 2020 Author Share Posted July 17, 2020 In the same issue, Maniac 5 says that yes the statues he created could give someone their powers if hit by electricity BUT DIDNT THINK OF THIS BEFORE CREATING THE FREAKIN DEADLY STATUES!! He should be demoted to Brainiac 2 Hypersphere 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gadzukes Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 (edited) Thor 236 (this is the first Marvel comic I ever read as a kid and LOVED it despite these ridiculous panels) The Absorbing Man is beating the snot out of Thor. Thor retreats into a toy store to evade him but Creel finds him. Thor holds Mjolnir out to protect himself and Creel snatches the Hammer to "absorb" the URU metal. Unbeknownst to Creel, Thor has switched his hammer with a cardboard toy hammer replica (hence retreating to the toy store) so when Creel punches Thor his arm accordians up. When I was a kid I actually loved it, but..... COME ON..... Creel grabs the hammer and doesn't realize it's cardboard??????

Does Thor hang out in toy stores and knew there would be a cardboard uru mallet and where it was located? Do toy stores in that world not know about plastic? 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gadzukes Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 World's Finest 140. Clayface is cornered by Batman & Superman. He changes into the form of Superman AND SUDDENLY HAS ALL OF SUPERMAN'S ABILITIES!!! There is no explanation given, just boom... he has Supe's powers. If that's how it works why not just take Superman's form for every crime you want to commit? Pretty lazy writing. Larryw7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
