This is not really funny I guess, but digging through my old comics the other day I found this Howard the Duck Star Wars parody that was exciting to find

I loved the HtD movie when I was a kid, so one day I went to the comic shop looking for back issues. I found those two Star Wars parody issues, and the one where Howard suffers concussion-induced hallucinations after fleeing to Canada after his aborted presidential campaign.

They were very confusing to me at 9 years old.

Has it changed meaning? Or are you just saying people's first thought is about petroleum products when they hear the name Plastic Man?

I suppose Mr. Terrific could become a villain if we ever go back to the original, bad meaning of terrific.

How long did that really last?

He has maybe my favourite superhero name, for the double meaning of actual iron and being able to go the distance, which he actually can't because of his heart problems. It's iron-ic!
