This was a big one! This summer we had the privilege and honor of speaking with DC Comics legend, Paul Kupperberg. Paul was kind enough to speak to us about Episode 23 - Metropolis Mishpacha, where we covered Supergirl and her landlady Ida Berkowitz! Paul of course was the author of these stories. We talk about religion in comics, Jewish representation, the Holocaust, and Colossal Boy's colossal bris!Please check out Paul's website and shop for all things KUP! https://www.paulkupperberg.net/You can follow us on Twitter - https://twitter.com/JewishComicsPodAnd on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/jewishcomicspod

Back in July 2020, Brandon and Henry were welcomed by the Association of Jewish Libraries to present at their Digital conference. On Zoom Brandon and Henry introduced the world to Colossal Boy, Jewish hero from the 31st Century!

Questions Covered: 03:15 – Is it possible that children are so incredibly happy because of reincarnation? Their spirit remembers the recent experience of being old, and now they’re internally happy to be young again?  13:50 – Let us stipulate: One of Paul’s lost letters to the Corinthians is discovered, An additional copy is found with complete textual agreement, A third fragment is located and dated to the mid second century, Scholarly consensus develops that this letter is a work of the Apostle Paul; in essence there is no doubt that the letter is a work of “The Paul”, The letter contains no dogmatic contradictions, The letter offers some additional support for what the Catholic Church terms “Purgatory” and that this support can easily be harmonized with the Eastern concept of “Fore-taste”, Bottom line, it is from Paul and it offers additional on point information, Given these stipulations, would you kindly opine on the following: Would the Church likely call a Council to consider adding the letter to the Bible? If so, do you think it would be added to the cannon? To your mind, what would the various Orthodox communities do with the book? Similarly, what are your thoughts as to what this development might mean to the Protestant world?  20:28 – Would a self-aware AI (like Terminator’s SkyNet) have rational soul? If so, would God create the soul the moment it became self-aware? And would that mean once an AI is “on,” turning it off would equate killing it?  25:03 – I seem to recall that Colossal Boy was Jewish. Were any members of the Legion of Super Heroes Catholic?   31:55 – Is Baby Yoda required to fast, or to abstain from meat on Fridays/Good Friday (according to the discipline of his diocese/rite), if he’s 50 years old?  36:12 – If someone were to travel close to the speed of light from Saturday evening to Monday morning, as experienced on earth, such that Monday felt like Sunday, would they be obliged to fulfill their Sunday obligation in what was Monday for us but still felt like Sunday to them?  42:20 – Is the Prime Directive ethically defensible?  49:50 – When you fast regularly for health reasons, how do you deal with the religious obligation of fasting? If you were going to fast anyway and you were fasting from your own desire, how do you sincerely redirect that intention to God?  51:34 – What would be the effects of organ transplants at the resurrection of the dead?  52:07 – What would be your opinion on how a faithful Catholic should deal with vampires? Is it morally acceptable to destroy them?  53:34 – How much incense is too much?  …

When an applicant named Jungle King, who can control animals with his mind, tries to join the group he is rejected for membership as the animals he control can be easily startled and become a menace. Angry that he had been rejected, Jungle King uses his powers to gather some of the most dangerous creatures in the universe and forms "The Legion of Super-Monsters" and renaming himself Monster Master for the purpose of terrorizing people and getting revenge against the Legion. His first attempt at revenge, toppling Sky City, is met with failure when the Legion arrives and stops the city from being toppled over, however Monster Master and his Super-Beasts manage to escape. Tracking Monster Master to the planet Inshar, the Legion battle each of the Super-Beasts, and each are swiftly defeated. Ironically, Monster Master meets his own demise when he rejects a vapor-beast interested in joining his Legion of Super-Monsters.

Superboy deduces that the Masked Man is Mxyzptlk V, the distant relative of Mister Mxyzptlk, the imp who pesters him in his own time. Using a word reversing device, Superboy manages to trick Mxyzptlk V to say his name backwards, sending him back to the 5th Dimension and reversing all the damage he'd done, including returning the dead Legionnaires to life. . - via DCWikia

In this episode, we take a look at Action Comics #267 and Adventure Comics #282 and the problematic portrayal of teenage girls. Show your thanks to Major Spoilers for this episode by becoming a Major Spoilers Patron. It will help ensure The Major Spoilers Podcast continues far into the future! Action Comics #267 The Three Super-Heroes August 1960 w: Jerry Siegel a: Jim Mooney After watching a demonstration put on by her cousin Superman in her civilian guise of Linda Lee, Supergirl is visited by three teens who can exhibit extraordinary powers and happen to know Supergirl's secret identity. Supergirl decides to finally investigate when these teens manage to activate her Linda Lee robot. Upon confronting these teens, they reveal themselves to be Cosmic Boy, Lightning Lad and Saturn Girl, members of the Legion of Super-Heroes from the 30th Century. When Supergirl recalls her cousin telling her of his induction into the Legion when he was Superboy, the Legion members tell her that they are the children of the original Legion and that they want her to join their ranks. Traveling to the 30th Century, Supergirl meets other new members of the Legion: Chameleon Boy who can change shapes, Invisible Lad who can turn invisible, and Colossal Boy who can grow to titanic heights. Her initiation into the group would require her to perform a super-feat for them. When it's learned that there is too much air traffic on the planet Earth, Supergirl digs a tunnel through the planet wide enough for air ships to fly through in order to lighten the load. However, when she emerges and returns to the Legion, she is shocked that she is a full grown woman and therefor is no qualified to be a member of the Legion who does not admit anyone over the age of 18. Dismayed, the now Superwoman uses her X-Ray vision to find the cause, and finds that there was a chunk of Red Kryptonite that caused the change in her body. The Legion regretfully tells Superwoman that she will not be able to apply for membership for another year. Returning to her own time, and after the effects of the Kryptonite have worn off, Supergirl (in her civilian guise of Linda Lee) wonders if she'll be invited into the Legion again. - via DC Wikia Adventure Comics #282 Lana Lang and the Legion of Super-Heroes March 1961 w: Otto Binder a: George Papp Lana Lang is once more trying to win Superboy's affections, when the Boy of Steel is summoned to a cave near Smallville where he meets a super-hero calling himself Star Boy. Coming from the 30th Century and the planet Xanthu, Star Boy explains that he has similar super-powers to Superboy. He goes on to explain that he is also a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes, and that he has traveled into the past to stop two Xenthuian criminals who had escaped into this era and are hiding out on Earth. However, Starboy's X-ray vision cannot penetrate copper and so has asked Superboy's help who's x-ray vision will be able to see through the copper piping used in Smallville's water system to find the criminals, who have been hiding in underground caverns. Lana Lang stumbles upon the two young heroes just as they finished capturing the Xanthuian criminals, and in order to get Superboy jealous, Lana bluffs Star Boy into believing she overheard his secret identity and forces him to pretend to be her boyfriend in order to make Superboy jealous. Traveling to the 30th Century with Superboy and Star Boy, Lana has the latter do whatever it takes to try and make Superboy jealous. However, Superboy sees through this ploy and ignores everything and even goes so far as to "date" a Xantharian girl, which causes Lana herself to become jealous and admit to the whole deception. With Lana having learned her lesson, the two teens from the 20th Century return to their own time. - via DC Wikia
