Something I'm wondering, are there any other heroes who's names, over time, have completely changed meaning like with Plastic Man?

Does the yellow sun give Krypton germs super powers?

Probably, that looks like it is from the era where everything from Krypton became indestructible once it was on Earth.

A joke I remember someone making about Silver Age Superman stories is that after a certain point it seems like Jor-El and Lara were the only Kryptonians who didn't leave before the planet exploded.

Like a lot of weird English terms it probably came from Polari.

That's a really awkward hand position there, Superboy. I guess what happens on Belgor stays on Belgor.

I just realized Mirror Wesley is basically doing the Powerup Comics pose.

This feels like it has meme potential.

Great bedside manner there.

Fun fact, this character from Mr Show (FF Woodycocks) was based on the same cop that John Mulaney made famous in a comedy special a couple years ago, JJ Bittenbinder.

It can definitely lead to some weird stories. Like Jimmy Olsen who is 21 years old and has his own apartment getting obsessed with playing professional marbles.

Justice League of America #26 (2008)

This is actually a reference to a character that DC floated in the 70s where he had dual identities where a white bigot would turn into a black superhero. DC asked Tony Isabella to write the series but he told them they were nuts and convinced them to scrap the concept and let him create his own black superhero which turned into Black Lightning.

He's an immortal soldier who's been alive for thousands of years. There are plans to turn it into an animated show and live action movie.

i can't help but be a little curious as to why she thor has chicken legs and the punisher logo is the page symbol

Punisher logo is because one of the villains of Earth X was a new Red Skull who used a red Punisher logo as his symbol.

To be fair he just got done with an incredibly intense training day for a hockey team that ended with a bear chasing everyone.
