Colander Girl! Yes! I would add Sister Voodoo, Teen Hulk and Obnoxio the Clown into the mix as well. Great lineup

Good call on those three suggestions.  I did get Obnoxio in there.  fav.me/d2fpxbs

Ah, missed that one Love these characters. Ever read the Marvel Team-Up story "League of Losers" or the What The--?! story 'Obscurity Legion'? They'd be right at home here

You know I remember them!  Though, to me, they were a pretty awesome team.  I would like to see Giffen, Maguire and DeMetteis bring them all back.  To me they were anchored characters.  Mostly due to my obsession with OHOTMU. 

I still say it's a crime that Captain Ultra hasn't crossed paths with the GLA, Slapstick, Frogman, Squirrel Girl, etc.

Well, Captain Ultra was offered a spot on the Great Lakes Avengers, though he declined (as did Sleepwalker, El Aguila, and Kal-AOL from Marville among the rest)
Have you been following the current Deadpool book with Slapstick on his new Mercs for Money team?

Lordwormm In reply to BigMike20X6 [2016-01-22 18:39:09 +0000 UTC]

That's right, I forgot about that!  I remember being very disappointed that Ultra didn't at least sign on for reserve status. 

I haven't, but I will try to search the covers and any scans I can find and I found one with Madcap, Slapstick AND Terror Inc!!!  I will have to buy those issues for sure.

Easy enough, it's the current Deadpool series starting with issue 1 that came out November 2015. (Issue 6 came out this week but is a Deadpool 2099 story)

UncolaMan [2015-01-01 20:29:58 +0000 UTC]

Wow, Forbush Man looks very serious, dark, and brooding.  I guess that 's okay, considering all the adventures he's been on, including time travel, dimensional travel and dying.

I like how I can see Frogman's eyes through his "mouth."

Lordwormm In reply to UncolaMan [2015-01-15 05:15:48 +0000 UTC]

  I had to try to gritty F-Man up a bit, I am desperate for him to be in Marvel 616 continuity.  I know he had a roll in NEXTWAVE was it? 
I'm glad you know those two!

I think Bryan Singer should make up with all of us for his stank Superman movie by making a standalone Birdbrain flick!

Haha, Birdbrain needs to have his own mini. Guest-starring self-friend Warlock.

Another great line up! Who is that girl in the front row with the pink skin? Looks a bit like Martian Man Hunter's sister, but now I'm getting my publisher's mixed up.

That's Dinah Soar. Unfortunately she's dead now, but you know the comic book rule on death!

She was a founding member of the Great Lakes Avengers. Mr. Immortal's girlfriend too.

GrantPAdams In reply to Lordwormm [2013-06-06 20:37:43 +0000 UTC]

My condolences to Mr. Immortal. You've got a point about super hero demises though, it's hard enough keeping track of just one death count, let alone the whole super hero spectrum.

Lordwormm In reply to GrantPAdams [2013-06-08 05:05:38 +0000 UTC]

No kidding. I'm still not over Elongated Man. For some reason they picked one of my top five in DC to break the rules with.

Lordwormm In reply to derfs51 [2013-06-02 04:43:30 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, good question. I know he gets mistaken for Reed, but Reed is very self and science consumed. He probably doesn't even know about Flatman.

Nice touch adding the "What The" characters... but who exactly is the female version of Forbush Man next to Squirrel Girl anyway?

Lordwormm In reply to Technomaru [2013-06-01 22:29:33 +0000 UTC]

Glad you noticed! That would be, I am guessing, Colander Girl!

She comes from a one tiny little drawing on the back of a "What the?" issue. I don't know if she was ever established anywhere else, but I noticed her and thought she needed a team!

PlummyPress [2013-05-28 03:29:39 +0000 UTC]

Squirrel Girl, Fullbrush Man, Milk & Cookies, and my boy Slapstick on the same team? HELL YEAH! I'm so happy I can even tolerate NFL Superpro or whatever his name is being there!
This is for sure the team Blue Beaver would try out for.

Lordwormm In reply to PlummyPress [2013-06-01 22:30:16 +0000 UTC]

You totally will tolerate him!

Although I've stripped him of his NFL title.

Blue Beaver would be welcome, you know that!

PlummyPress In reply to Lordwormm [2013-06-05 02:49:29 +0000 UTC]

Did you see back in the day when Doomsday ripped apart the JLA and Booster Gold had to wear that bulkier 90's armor? I like to think your version of SuperPro is wearing an AMERICA themed version of that suit.

PS there was another comic- by Warren Ellis, I think- also called Super Pro. It starred a hooker with super powers. It was much enjoyable.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Lordwormm In reply to PlummyPress [2013-06-06 04:01:27 +0000 UTC]

Yes, I remember that somewhat fondly. I remember Doomsday beating Blue Beetle by smashing his head in a car door!

PS Check this out: [link]

Much enjoyable indeed!

Birdbrain... and/or Boy! That was the storyline that was going on when I first got into TNM.

Howard! Madcap! Hmmm... who was the guy in the previous pic that looked like a hat-less Madcap?

Lordwormm In reply to Phraggle [2013-06-01 22:31:26 +0000 UTC]

Excellent recognition! It's so surprising to see who knows who from these pictures. These characters have been exposed so randomly.

Oh yeah, that was The Heckler! He had like a six issue mini at DC by Keith Giffen. The man behind Ambush Bug and Lobo. It's a great book.
