This time on the Couch: Mike, James, and Shée plant their flag in the dirt of Action Comics no. 381! As Supermanuary continues, our hero has become even more unhinged, causing a ruckus at the UN and demanding the entire Earth kneel before his immaculately-toned Kryptonian physique! Has Superman finally come to his senses and realized that a war-hungry, Crocs-wearing planet could probably benefit from a little stern leadership? Hopefully! Then, in a chilling backup story, Matter-Eater Lad confronts the worst terror imaginable: Dating outside of your league!

This week the word is recombobulation, and it's a week of random topics for the nerds, including: Keith's recent trip to Utah, sodas of unusual flavors, Watergate, apple-picking excursions, Andy's neck-watch, John Bowman's catchphrase on Hollywood Squares, Matter-Eater Lad, how to use time travel to steal DB Cooper's suitcase full of cash, Strange New Worlds vs Discovery, Duolingo, The Godfather, history-based movies, and many other things.

Welcome to the Legion's newest member, from Bismoll, Tenzil Kem, the one and only Matter-Eater Lad.  He is just in time to get framed and to clear his name, in just 12 pages.  That and he eats a raygun and some prison bars. Silly as it is

Hello! It's one of those, whadyacallim, episodes of Destroy All Culture. In this week's episode, a discussion of Legends of Tomorrow pivots to a discussion of early reality television.

This is the episode of Marvelvision that has it all: a live, on-air COVID test, Derek shitting on Point Break, a detour into the world of Impact! Comics, middle aged men Googling Sgt. Gorilla and more. Peacemaker just keeps doing it, giving us great episode after great episode, and The Choad Less Traveled, a Vigilante-heavy ep, is no different. It's the show that is redefining the DCEU, and it's making Matter-Eater Lad canon... which of course leads to a discussion about whether or not the Legion went to the 21st century or Peacemaker went to the 31st. If you're enjoying this show, be sure to check out our other podcasts: The Bad Batch, a Star Wars TV show podcast and Watch Men, a monthly superhero deep dive show.

What did every Legion member have? What other powers does the Legion Flight Ring have? What did they change Lightning Lad's name to? Who is Matter Eater Lad? What is Stone Boy's power? What makes a good Legion of Substitute Heroes story? Who is Brainiac 5? Is he related to the bad guy Brainiac? What about the version of the Legion on Supergirl really bothers John?

For more than 80 years, DC Comics has brought us legends like Wonder Woman and Batman... as well as sillier characters like Kite Man and Bat Mite. There's a long rich history of goofy characters at DC, and we love them all. So that's the subject of our latest Top 4 1/2 List: goofy DC characters. And we invited an expert to play along: Drew, co-host of the Earth Station DCU podcast! Our goofy list includes some Bat-villains, of course, as well as a crime-fighting chimpanzee, a teen president, a hippie mannequin, dogs in space, cab drivers in space, and more. This could have been a Top 400 List, because we didn't even get around to Matter Eater Lad, Mr. Tawky Tawny, Quisp, Bird-Boy, Mer-Boy, and all the residents of the Bizarro World. In fact, this episode just might go on forever... unless you can trick us into saying "Kltpzyxm." Drew and Cletus talk DC Comics every week on Earth Station DCU!  And our regular links...

How can we create characters that the audience can relate to, care about, and are compelled to follow through to the end of the journey?

After discussing strategies for writing characters, they delve into the artistic process to see how artists can bring them to life through shape, performance, and more. They share examples of how they have created characters in their own works, as well as characters and creative teams throughout pop culture that have resonated with them. What does it all have to do with an impending Matter Eater Lad film? And will the fellas get drawn into yet another Star Wars debate? Tune in to find out!

Recruiting other Legion members (Light Lass, Matter-Eater Lad, Triplicate Girl, Lightning Lad and Star Boy), they load up a giant space craft with the alien race. Along their voyage in space, the pressure of leadership gets the best of Sun-Boy who begins to strictly reprimand his fellow Legion members. Believing them to all be mutineers, Sun-Boy has the robots controlling the ship force his teammates into an escape ship and crashes it on the doomed planet. The doomed Legion members fight off various threats until they come across an ancient space craft which they cannibalize for spare parts to make their escape ship space worthy. Learning from the Science Police that Sun-Boy never met his destination, the Legion goes into space to search for him. They eventually find Sun-Boy's ship, and a catatonic Sun-Boy on board. Returning him to Earth and getting him examined by doctors, they realize his behavior was cause from too much time in space. After Sun-Boy is cured, the Legion enact new measures limiting the amount of space missions a Legion member can take for the sake of their health. - DC Wikia

"Netflix commissions a pilot episode for Eye-Scream The Living Ice Cream!". Yes, he's real. No they are not making it, No, I had never heard of him either. This week DA BOYZ dig through 80+ years of comics to present some of the most half-baked, poorly written and marginalized comic book characters in history! Pod is comprised of; Steff "Big Bertha" Hughes, Ray "Matter-Eater Lad" Hewson & Danny "Arm-Fall-Off Boy" Craine. Excelsior! *Those are all real characters, google them. Don't worry, we chose different ones on the show, listen to make sure. Then listen again for enjoyment. Once more for Stan Lee and again to keep the number even.* ---------------------------------------------- Our Patreon: www.patreon.com/tablesladschairs?ty=h Our Facebook: www.facebook.com/tablesladschairs/ Our Twitter: twitter.com/PodcastTLC Our Soundcloud: @podcastoftlc Our Youtube: youtube.com/channel/UCtZP3zdLp9f7zX8TWsmRtcA ---------------------------------------------------------- Thank Lee Shears for the intro/main event/outro music.

Adventure Comics #303 The Fantastic Spy! December 1962 w: Jerry Siegel a: John Forte Sun-Boy and Lightning Lad are recuperating in the hospital after sustaining injuries on a mission. Sun-Boy is given a curative capsule in his injured ankle by Dr. Landro and told that he will be cured in a few days. Later, the Legion has a meeting where they meet their newest member: Matter-Eater Lad, a boy who can eat and digest anything. After a series of missions end in failure, the Legion begins to suspect that there is a traitor in their midst. At the same time the criminal alien known as Meglaro manages to escape from prison. Brainiac 5 builds a device which leads him to the truth: None of the Legion members have turned traitor, but they have been betrayed by Dr. Landro. Using a device, the Legion learns that Landro put a shrunken spy in the "curative capsule" which was implanted in Sun-Boy's leg, and that's how mission secrets were revealed to the enemy. With the spy plot revealed, Superboy is dispatched to defeat and recapture Meglaro, and the other Legion members work to remove the capsule from Sun-Boy's ankle and capture the spy. - via DC Wikia Adventure Comics #304 The Stolen Super-Powers January 1963 w: Jerry Siegel a: John Forte After getting a warning from the criminal Zaryan the Conqueror stating that he predicts a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes will die, Saturn Girl is the first to find it and after reading the message she destroys it. Shortly thereafter, Saturn Girl is elected to be the official leader of the Legion of Super-Heroes. Shortly thereafter, Saturn Girl becomes a strict and cruel leader, "punishing" Legion members for being unable to follow her orders. As punishment she would "ground" members from the Legion and use a device that would steal their powers and give them to Saturn Girl. When the threat of Zaryan is on it's way, Saturn Girl heads out on her own to tackle Zaryan's menace by herself. However, Lightning Lad intercepts the rocket first and is blasted with a ray while he destroy Zaryan's rocket. Fatally wounded, Lightning Lad explains to Saturn Girl, that when she found the message from Zaryan, she was unknowingly watched by Mon-El in the Phantom Zone, who told Lightning Lad of her plan to sacrifice herself so none of the other Legion members were killed. Lightning Lad, learning the truth decided to sacrifice himself so that Saturn Girl may live. When Lightning Lad finally dies, the entire Legion gathers and has a funeral to remember to their fallen friend, Garth. - via DC Wikia
