Episode 177: Non-Powered Superheroes

Inspired by a new listener question, Kurt goes through his definition of a “Non-Powered Superhero” (or Supervillain in one case), to see who qualifies in the Big 2 comic book universes.  The answer may or may not surprise you, but you’ll have to listen to find out!

Well, he definitely doesn’t count…

but what about him?

Just a bow and arrow. No powers here…right?

Well, that’s got to hurt.

Being able to fight in something that skintight has to be a superpower, doesn’t it?

Doctor Octopus’s final days (well, sort of…).

Episode 47: Two More Questions from the Ladies of the “OHotMU or Not?” Podcast

Being non-comic readers (for the most part), but having to deal with things in the comic book world, I was curious to find out if the ladies from the OHotMU or Not podcast had questions they needed answered about comics.  And they delivered!  Two questions were answered last episode and now we finish them off with questions from Shotgun and Emelie!

Once again, this episode inspired by the women of this podcast. Thanks, ladies!

Sandman. He’s a man, and he’s sand. Powers explained.

DC’s first Sandman. He puts you to sleep with his sleep gas gun.

The 2nd Sandman from DC. A trippy dream warrior still based very much in a superhero world.

Sandman #3 from DC. The God of Dreams, aka Morpheus of the Endless.

Usually, Flash is the humble one and Quicksilver is the braggart. Perhaps this wasn’t the greatest example.

Black Canary putting up with these two is a miracle in and of itself.

Sad sack Peter Parker under Steve Ditko’s pen became…

Peter Parker, ladies man. But, still keeps the peak!

Episode 41: Let’s Get Caught Up on the Arrowverse! (Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow, and Batwoman)

In anticipation of this year’s massive Crisis on Infinite Earths TV event, we get caught up on the main characters of all of the Arrowverse shows, so that you’ll be ready even if you don’t normally watch all of them.

This episode is on the longer side, and even so, there’s a bunch of stuff I wasn’t able to fit in, so if you want me to go into more detail on anything, please leave a comment here letting me know, or click the “Submit a Question” link up above to put in your request!

The show that started it all. This is the first season cast. Felicity wasn’t yet a regular.

Season Two! Look, a mask!

Team Flash (or, at least some of it). From Left to Right, that’s Caitlyn, Flash (duh), Iris, and Cisco.

Supergirl! And Martian Manhunter! Even if you don’t watch the show, you should be able to figure out which is which…

First season’s Legends of Tomorrow team.

And the team for most of the fourth season. Yes, that stuffed animal (Beebo) is included. Just watch the show…

We’re being Invaded! Quick, everyone get lined up!

Yes, Ollie kept the stubble, even when he was The Flash.

To keep things semi-spoiler free, I’m not including any promo shots from unaired episodes, but here’s the cover to the Crisis on Infinite Earths hardcover.
