Plastic Man, Character of the year, 2016 I mean, really, what's Batman gonna do? Hit him? The dude's actually harder to kill than Superman.

Eel O'Brien has already lived through being scattered at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, in bits too small to combine, without going too crazy. Whatever Brucie has in store won't be all that. What I want to know is why he was looking like Alucard in the first panel.

 This might be the single most embarrassing superhero struggle I've ever seen in my life. Wasn't one of Johnny's solo enemies the [fireproof material] Man? That seems useful for fighting the Human Torch and no one else. I tell ya, Johnny was the real Aquaman of the Silver Age.

Isn't that the first Human Torch? Who was a robot or something?

I've been listening to older episodes of the Fantasticast podcast, and they had a lot of fun with the Strange Tales Torch strips. One point they make about them, which I think is fair enough, is that a good Human Torch story is a good Fantastic Four story more often than not (and most of the best Torch solo strips were the ones which also featured Reed, Sue and Ben in supporting roles, and the Torch feature became a Ben/Johnny double-act in its last few months), so there isn't really much point in trying to push them as solo Torch stories, because Johnny didn't work as another Spider-Man, which is what they wanted.

Marvel wanting a Johnny solo movie is the reason he was replaced by the robot in that one cartoon.

I watched Super the other night, and I loved how the glimpses you see of the Christian superhero comic is Fletcher Hanks art, I was impressed at such a deep pull. I was the only one of my friends who was enough of a loser to get the joke.

The insanely awful art when it became a Ben/Johnny book (Dick Ayers on pencils??) the incredibly lame villains the Torch faced (William Van Vile? The Acrobat? Paste Pot Pete? ), the Thing in a Beatles wig....Strange Tales might have been the worst book early Marvel published.

Paste Pot Pete? ), the Thing in a Beatles wig....Strange Tales might have been the worst book early Marvel published. Paste Pot Pete was a legitimate villain for a good chunk of the initial Lee/Kirby run, mostly as part of the Frightful Four which included Medusa (yes, Black Bolt's wife, well ex-wife at this point, I think she's dating Johnny Storm right now if you want to bring this full circle). Don't joke about Paste Pot Pete, he'll seal up your mouth and nose holes and watch you suffocate. Basically if Spider-Man's webs have any effect on the Human Torch, then Paste Pot Pete is also a legitimate threat.

Paste Pot Pete seems to be like Aquaman in that his problem is not in his abilities but rather in his branding.
