Nobody's reading JL. I got that on bleedingcool. Apparently in this issue that girl is telling Flash all about different DC continuities and Cyborg warps to Legion of Superheroes time.
That stuff's almost got me buying another Hitch JL comic, but I'm not falling for it!

Actually it's an avocado that's disguised as an artichoke, sending sensitive information back to the other avocados.

Having my first exposure to classic GL come from Archived editions caused a struggle to figure out how a name like "Tom Kalmaku" could possibly inspire that nickname. Little did I know.

This one actually has the in-context excuse that Silver Age Owlman's powers involved clouding people's mind and subtly hypnotizing them. I like that the CSA are analogues rather than straight up evil versions of the JLA, like Ultraman being a human astronaut who's a separate person from Earth-3 Clark Kent.

The CSA are straight up one of my favorite things in the DCU. But yeah, their variant backgrounds and stuff are a lot of fun.

My Comixology subscription also gave me the #1.MU issue that I wouldn't have bought otherwise. Turns out it was a fun little story written by Chip Zdarsky with Spider-Man making an appearance. I kinda expect this version of Spider-Man is how he'll be writing him in his series.

Yes. Googling about it says she can lift about 7 tons, a little less than half the 15 tons Spider-man is credited with.

I believe Batroc the Leaper spends his existence in a state of quantum uncertainty like Magneto, Stilt-man, or all those mutants from M-day. He can only be dead when he's not being actively observed by the reader.

That goes quadruple for his sometimes-cohort Machete.

I'm still not sure how many of them there've been, and no one else is, either.

I remember three; Batroc Ze Leapair, Machete, and Zaran the Weapon-Master. One of those last two guys had blades instead of hands.

It's a little known fact that Dr. Doom likes to sprinkle bots and LMDs of various other supervillains around the world so that at any given time when you see a B-lister supposedly die it's probably not actually them.

No, what I mean is, how many Machetes, specifically. He's died several times and then showed up again with absolutely no explanation. Sometimes a later writer would go "Oh poo poo yeah he died" and explain this was a new Machete, sometimes no. One of them is the first one's brother, but he also died. No one is keeping track of it.
