Legion of Super-Heroes Cake
OMG, I would totally go all Matter-Eater Lad on this cake. That is just so full of win, I think I’m going to cry.
Simpsons Comics #68 Cover
In my opinion, this Simpons Comics #68 cover may be the best cover in the history of comics.
Mattel’s JLU Legion of Super-Heroes Figures
It was awesome that DC managed to finally pull off a Legion of Super-Heroes cartoon, but then it pretty much ended almost as soon as it began and there were almost no toys based on the series (McDonald’s was pretty much the only source for collectors there). Mattel plans to remedy that oversight by releasing a set of LSH figures as part of its Justice League Unlimited line. These will only be available for sale directly on its MattyCollector.com site beginning May 15, 2009.
Custom Con 20
Back in July, I totally forgot to mention Custom Con 20 over at TheFwoosh.Com. Probably the only place you’re ever going to see a Matter Eater Lad figure doing what MEL does best.
Forget The Avengers and Wonder Woman . . . when are we going to get a Matter Eater Lad movie?
The Lamest Superheroes Ever?
Wandered across this list of the top 10 lamest superheroes ever.
At Number 7 they have what I would have put at No. 1 — Matter Eater Lad. Matter Eater Lad can eat anything. The choice detail the Pop Culture Addict leaves out is that whoever created this abomination added the detail that he was from the planet Bismoll (ugh).
Of all the lame members that DC created for the Legion of Super-Heroes, Matter Eater Lad is definitely the worst. But everyone has a bad day — even the best comics contain a few bad ideas here and there.
What made matters worse was that Matter Eater Lad was a part of the LSH for almost 11 years (from 1963 to 1974), though his unique abilities meant he wasn’t actually in the stories very often.
Finally they wrote him out of the book and sent him off to political office on Bismoll.
