It's not like he needs to worry about sitting in that armor.

A man of iron fighting crime is strange enough as it is, but making it ROBOTOICIZED? How absurd. Next you'll expect it to fly and shoot laser beams. Maybe he can upgrade it to handle higher power threats like Superman? Just sheer idiocy, jeez.

Nothing says "stealthy crime fighter" like a dude clunking around jumping from roof to roof in 50 lbs of steel.

Wonder if they avoided making that scorpion costume green because of copyright. And what kind of people would fear a Stingray before Steve Irwin's death?

The funniest part about this to me is not his views on marriage but that a young kid would talk like that, using stage direction so melodramatically. He sounds so much like the cover of a comic book I wonder if that line was even supposed to be attributed to him.

The late Golden Age/early Silver Age wasn't exactly known for its subtlety or sensitivity on Native American issues, either.  Most of the issue is Superboy using his "magic" to help his new friend show up and replace the medicine man. Oh, and Superboy becomes one of the tribe's totem spirits. Adventure Comics 164 (1951)

The interesting thing about Tomahawk is that he's not a Western hero, but one of extremely few Revolutionary War era heroes in the (pre-flashpoint. Dammit.) DC history. He pops up during Swamp Thing's time travel arc that began directly after Moore left the series.

So, now the white-skins, the black-skins, the blue-skins, the green-skins and the red-skins have it in for Green Lantern? He must've had an emotional spectrum's worth of races after him when O'Neil and Adams were on his book.
