Podcast appearances and mentions of robby reed

On this week's World's Finest Wednesday issue of Bros, Foes, and Heroes, we explore one of DC's weirdest and most creative debuts — the first appearance of Dial H for Hero! When teenager Robby Reed stumbles upon a mysterious alien device shaped like a rotary dial (yes, really), he gains the ability to transform into an entirely new superhero every time he dials H-E-R-O. What could go wrong with powers you don't choose, wild villains, and a transformation system more confusing than your grandma's landline? Zach and Mike break it all down — one random superhero at a time. House of Mystery Issue #156 (DC Comics, 1966) "Dial H for Hero!"

Which bring us to Ben Tennyson and Robby Reed.  Both heroes, both with gizmos that allow them to literally dial in the hero/power they want. Two kids. Two devices. One championship belt. DIAL H FOR HERO Dial H for Hero is a comic book feature published by DC Comics about a mysterious dial that enables an ordinary person to become a superhero for a short time, by selecting the letters H-E-R-O in order. Each time it is used, the dial causes its possessor to become a superhero with a different name, costume, and powers. These superheroes are usually new, but on one occasion the dial caused its user to become a duplicate of an existing superhero, Plastic Man. Some versions of the dial contain additional letters, allowing other kinds of transformations. BEN 10 The franchise is about a boy who acquires a watch-like alien device called the Omnitrix (later the Ultimatrix) attached to his wrist that allows him to turn into alien creatures. In April 2008, Ben 10 (the original television series) was succeeded by Ben 10: Alien Force, which itself was succeeded in April 2010 by Ben 10: Ultimate Alien.

(The discovery that his mentor, whom he thought dead, is actually alive and kicking is only the first of the shocks that await him.) “Circles” is an epic adventure, a love story, and one of the most affecting Usagi stories ever. In addition to the 80-page “Circles,” this volume includes “The Bridge,” “The Duel,” and the hard-to-find “The Tangled Skein” from Critters #38. Jam-packed with lethal sword battles alternating with humor, horror, suspense and slapstick, this beautifully crafted and exciting volume (with an introduction by Jeff Smith creator of Bone) is both an excellent starting point for new readers, and an absolute necessity for Usagi completists.
