For those who haven't seen the issue - this is just one of the four substitute Olsons who have appeared in Metropolis since Jimmy's "death". The other three are easy to guess if you remember 1990s Superman comics events (the Olson of Steel, Olson Boy, and the Olson of Tomorrow, naturally).

I hope Cyborg Jimmy is voiced by Malcolm McDowell as well.

As did most of the issue! I didn't give a crap about Jimmy Olsen before 2019 but I drat sure love him now.

I remember the Hood being liked a lot in BSS around 2005 and lots of excitement as he got reclaimed from limbo after the miniseries for stuff like Dark Reign. What the gently caress happened?

From Rick and Morty #57. Morty's been kidnapped and Rick/Jerry end up in a universe where there is a Rick/Morty convention instead of DragonCon while looking for him. Nobody involved in creating the comic is bitter or anything.

What the gently caress happened? He got Poochied hard and we got a lot of stories about what an amazing and totally awesome villain he was which turned everyone off pretty much instantly. I mean, at the end of the miniseries that everybody liked, he's still a shithead thug. He just barely managed to get out from under the threat of guys like the Shocker. Then suddenly he's ultimate badass super evil demonic mob boss of New York who's a dangerous threat to the entire Avengers. Random Stranger fucked around with this message at 19:37 on Feb 21, 2020 |

I only really remember The Hood from Marvel Heroes of all things, where he's supposed to be this big challenge to the heroes because of his teleportation powers. Then Luke Cage recommends you find where he bases out of and just kick his rear end anyway. Because beyond his fancy cloak, his entire arsenal consisted of two, count 'em, TWO guns! and no powers.

the hood was the villain version of sentry, bendis' attempt to force some character into being A Big Deal who immediately disappeared from the limelight as soon as bendis stopped writing the big books

Ah that makes total sense. It's a shame too because he makes sense as a two-bit thug in way over his head who's constantly riding by the seat of his pants-- like a non-loser version of The Shocker--but gently caress that doesn't sound like they outscaled him way too drat high.

If you're going to bring out any obscure character from a mini and make them overpowered it should be Gravity.

What the gently caress happened? I should probably read the original mini, I recently read BEYOND! and he was okay there, but Dark Reign is why I loving hate him.

Hood works best as an Owl type guy; mid level street villain who starts the odd turf war with Kingpin and has some light powers. Trying to make him some big name or have him be a threat to Doom just overplays him entirely. He's a henchmen who got some ok powers, not a mastermind.
