I have fond memories of him becuase he was (a) villain in the first superman comics I read (it was an old swedish paperback featuring a bunch of comics, including as toryline where supes lost his super-strength because it was trasnferred into a young boy, and he could only get it back by thinking about the boy's lynx pet... It was weird)
Anyway Terra Man robbed a train, and it was great.
1) Well, I have to give them points for some of those headlines all saying the same thing while not literally saying the same thing. " Area Man Saves Area" amused me more than it probably should.
You are unaware of the Zardoz inspired macho man of manliness Vartox? Oh you are in for a treat! :D
He was a recurring character in the 70's and 80's, and yes, deliberately inspired by Sean Connery in Zardoz, and was an alien who had a thing for Lana Lang if I recall correctly.
They relaunched him as part of the New52 as an unexpected sort of recreation
He also showed up in Power Girl's series (back when Power Girl had her own series...). Pretty sure it took his ridiculousness and just ran off with it.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
