I guess it was the absurdity of the reality of the entire situation. Here you have a guy who has bought a rocket, built himself a big boomerang out of steel with enough aerodynamic design to enable it to fly rather than just blow up, wheeled this boomerang out of hiding, captured Batman....and he just ties him to the boomerang. All of that extraordinary effort, and then this happens.

Its probably no more absurd than any of the other silly deathtraps over the years... but even as a kid, I just thought this was ridiculous.

Has anyone around here mentioned Marvel's GA hero, The Whizzer? A guy in a yellow costume and winged headpiece who gains superspeed from an injection of mongoose blood. That's right - mongoose blood.






His costume is yellow, he runs really fast, and his name is The Whizzer. You figure it out.



What's there to figure out? He's a lame Flash ripoff with the most idiotic origin in comics' history. A mongoose is a member of the weasel family. How the bloody hell can weasel blood give someone super-speed?




Um. It was a radioactive mongoose?

Pimping my site, again.
