How Wonderful! posted:Here's a pretty decent looking answer. Even if it's just "Leap tall buildings" era Superman, unless the cliff was significantly taller than a tall building, pushing superman off it doesn't seem like the best plan.

I'm sure that either way someone "more powerful than a locomotive" is able to withstand a shove from a nameless mook.

like, yeah, checking a hydrant is probably a really good way to see if something is wrong with the water supply rather than the building, but i feel like ripping it permanently out of the ground is a bit unnecessary.

 "And then he says, 'I'll try spinning. That's a good move.'" "Come on, you're just making poo poo up." The thought that the ending to The Phantom Menace is something that resonates across the centuries is hilarious to me.

Ugh, traumatic flashbacks to a roadside attraction simply called The Thing. It was your standard museum of oddities. They had Hitler's car. Or at least the same make and model, The Thing was that they couldn't prove Hitler actually owned it.

Isn't that the first star wars movie? The fourth one was where they went back to the desert planet to get a new protagonist.

Technically this is the 4th Star Wars film, before it became non-canon  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kqtyw18jXyI The Holiday Special is a 'special' and is not a movie

This gets posted a lot. It's from the end of the original Armor Wars (Iron Man 222-231) and it's chock full of weird 80s nonsense. In between busting up armored hero's and villians, Tony attends lots of Hollywood parties with random name drops and caricatures of irrelevant 80's celebrities.   This guy is obviously supposed to be somebody specific but I have no idea who.   Don Johnson, Michael J Fox, but I'm not sure who the third guy is supposed to be.  It's important to remember that 18 year olds don't cry.  It's also important to remind everyone that Tony's not getting AIDS.

Green... Lama? Not the animal but like the Dalai Lama? quote:Jethro Dumont has two alter egos, the crime fighting superhero Green Lama and the Buddhist priest Dr. Pali. Jethro Dumont being a very rich resident of New York City decided to go to Tibet for ten years to study to become a Lama (Buddhist guru). It was in Tibet where he learned many mystical and magical secrets, which he used in conjunction with his scientific knowledge of how to use radioactive salts in his favor. He used these powers, along with his strong Buddhist beliefs, to fight crime and help the Superpowers team in WWII. Ok, then!

The tl;dr is that colors were expensive, the available range was limited, and blue and black hair reads as black hair in the sun to your eye if you aren't really thinking about it.

There wasn't a way back then to do black hair without either adding some other colour that looks like highlights or not using any other colours and having it look like a 2D silhouette of hair.

You're right, it's gotta be Hagman, if you google image search him the top results are all him wearing cowboy hats with silly bands.  The guy next to Michael J Fox, must be somebody that was on the cover of People around 1987. Pierce Brosnan Maybe?
