Discussing the history and background of obscure comic book characters and reintroducing them for today. There are a lot of characters out there in the vastness of comic book history, and lot of them fall to the wayside to be forgotten or neglected. I think looking back on some these characters today is a way to give them a second chance, especially with the popularity of comics being higher than its ever been in recent years. Just because they're obscure, doesn't mean their bad. Or maybe it does. Let's find out.

18. So a Mech, a boy robot and space marine walk into bar...

What do you want from me?! I started this weird naming thing and I'm sticking with it no matter how bad they get. It could be worse. I could have gone with "This Big Robot has a Rusty Exoskeleton". Which...damn it, that is better. Oh well, just look, enjoy the episode if you can. I'm sure it's a cracken one in some ways. This week I'm talking about two things! That's like...double the usual amount of things. So it's better already. Maybe I can double my listeners with this one from zero to... well that would still be zero. But DOUBLED! Get a bowl of cereal for this cartoons and comics episode.

17. Spoiler Alert! It's a DC character.

A super long episode?! Haven't had one of these in awhile. So enjoy. Lots of Spoiler talk ahead. But I'm also talkin about other DC characters.

I still don't have a good opening routine, but just hang in there, at some point I'm sure I'll stumble onto comedy gold. We're in this together my

one single listener. I do this for you. It's a good episode this time, I swear. They all are, but nowhere near as good as this one. Probably?

16. Automobiles and Big Lizards

The Flintstones wish they were as exciting and high octane as this series! It's the Fast and the Furious meets Jurassic Park. This week I'm talking about Cadillacs and Dinosaurs. Or as it's was originally known, Xenozoic Tales. A series that could easily make a comeback today. This episode may not accomplish that, but its a good start. It's got two things I think will be cool forever, Cars and Dinos.

15. Wakanda Villain is Living Laser?

Within this age of Isolation, movies and shows are either on hold or pushed back. This includes the next phase of Marvel movies. So while we wait, I was thinking about the already announced Black Panther 2 and how the right villain could help balance out Black Panther's over powered suit from the first movie. I mean... they could just get rid of it and make him more like his comic version where he has good tech, some special herbs and his incredible intelligence. Plus the backing of his entire country and its resources. But we all know that won't happen. So the antagonist has to be even more powerful. Hence, I'm digging up a low tier villain who I believe has what it takes to make BP2 shine. The Living Laser.

14. Avengers Assemble... the D team.

When the Top Tier Avengers are out saving the universe, who's left to save your town? The bargain basement heroes of the Great Lakes Avengers of course. They don't have much, but they make it work. Each member of this team brings something different to the table in both powers and personality, they kinda suck, but they got heart. And I think that's worth getting a bit more spotlight.
