Legion of Doom!

The Evil 3-Inch Plastic that is the Legion of Doom!

The Legion of Doom is an unusual case: it is made of comic book characters, but it's from a television show! The Legion of Doom was the "Challenge of Super Friends" show's analogous to the Secret Society of Super Villains. Lex Luthor banded these villainous criminals together to destroy the Super Friends. All their members are enemies of members of the Super Friends. Members are:

• Bizarro (Willaim Callaway)- He is Superman's idiotic clone. On the show he has all the powers of Superman.
  


• Black Manta (Ted Cassidy)- This evil inventor is Aguaman's arch-enemy (or at least the closest thing he got to one)!
  


• Brainiac (Ted Cassidy)- He is super genius android that hates Superman.
  


• Captain Cold (Dick Ryal and Michael Bell)- He is a villain with a freeze-ray that hates Flash!
  


• Cheetah (Marlene Aragon)- She is a Wonder Woman foe with cheetah-powers.
  


• Giganta (Ruth Forman)- Thanks to stealing mystic powder from an Apache chief, she gained the power to grow to super sizes and back. She is a Wonder Woman foe.
  


• Gorilla Grodd (Stanley Rlaph Ross)- Exiled from his homeland of super intelligent apes for being evil, he became a foe of Flash.
  


• Lex Luthor (Stanley Jones)- He is the evil-genius-long-time-foe of Superman and the Legion's leader.
  


• Riddler (Michael Bell)- He is a Batman foe that uses riddles to confuse his foes.
  


• Scarecrow (Don Messick)- Thanks to his fear gas, he can make the worst fears of people seem to come to life. But Batman is still brave enough to stop him.
  


• Sinestro (Vic Perrin and Don Messik)- He is a former Green Lantern and now uses a yellow power ring.
  


• Solomon Grundy (Jimmy Weldon)- He is a dim-witted zombie with superhuman strength and endurance and foe of the Green Lantern.
  


• Toyman (Frank Welker)- He is a pyshco inventor who dresses like a jester and uses toy-theme weapons. But I have no idea if it's the Winslow Schott or the Jack Nimball version.
  

Despite the opening: "Banded together from remote galaxies, thirteen of the most sinister villains of all time - the Legion of Doom! ", 1o / 13 of them are natives of Earth. Only Sinestro (from Korugar), Brainiac (from Colu) and Bizarro (from Bizarro World) are aliens. They had a swamp dome-shaped base called the "Hall of Doom" able to travel in a bunch of ways. Please note: there is a wrestling team with the same name.

Yellow Lantern

History

Prior to Crisis on Infinite Earths, the Bizarro-Hal Jordan got a Lantern ring and Green Lantern battery from Bizarro, but Bizarro gave him a yellow lantern ring. So after 24 hours,  Bizarro-Hal became powerless (because the Bizarro-Yellow ring was powerless against green). Bizarro offered to craft a Yellow Lantern battery. But Bizarro-Hal refused because if (in Bizarro logic) the Green Lanterns are fearless, a Yellow Lantern has to be fearful and easily scared by anything. He also believed (based on Bizarro logic) being the most easily scare being in the universe makes the most courageous person on the Bizarro World due to their obsession with being backwards.
Afer Crisis on Infinite Earths, Bizarro III used his replicating powers to create Bizarro versions of Earth people and a world for them to live on. Among these imperfect duplicates was the Bizarro Green Lantern a.k.a. the Yellow Lantern. He was a member of the Bizarro Justice League and helped them stop Bizarro Doomsday. The Sinestro Corp ordered him away thus saving him from the destruction of the Bizarro World. Yellow Lantern was among the Sinestro Corp. agents that attacked Coast City.

Powers

The pre-Crisis on Infinite Earths version of the Yellow Lantern had different powers than a post-Crisis counterpart. He had a Yellow Lantern ring that works like a Green Lantern ring, but ineffective toward the color Green. Since his battery was green, he was powerless.
Post-Crisis, he also had a Sinestro Lantern ring. However, this one worked since he had a proper power battery. Unlike most Sinestro rings, he cannot affect things colored green.

Ambush Bug

Ambush Bug goes to court and his lawyer is the same guy suing him.

What is a seven-letter word for lunatic? Ambush Bug. On the planet Schwab, Brum-El got awards for being the "most well dressed" and became famous. One day, he got a letter (that he thought if he threw it away his life would be completely unchanged). So he did. He soon learn that it was really a intergalactic chain-letter! He should have been careful, because the last person to break the chain-letter was Jor-EL of Krypton! The now-disgraced Brum-El built an one-person rocket to save his clothes. But it was attacked by a radioactive, space spider, steering it toward Earth. In the attack and falling to Earth, only three pieces of clothes survived: 2 socks and a green, super suit with two orange antennae. Irwin Schwab (of Earth) was in his apartment and went to the roof to see what was wrong with the television antenna and discovered the now-damage rocket. He manage to get the suit and discovered the antenna were hollow and they created "bug-bots" that could teleport him. Meanwhile, Brum-El was actually looking forward to his planet's doom, only to have none thing happened. At first Irwin used this suit for evil and tried to destroy Superman as Ambush Bug, but only annoy him. So he became a hero and tried to befriend him, only to annoy him. This is because, due to his mental illness, Irwin can't understand what really is happening around him. He usually has bizarre adventure such as getting sent to Underworld and get forced to do stand-up comedy. His arch-enemy is a living sock called "Argh! Yle!" with a Dr. Doom-like mask.

Kid Eternity

Kid Eternity (left) and Mr. Keeper (right)

Quality Comics

Eternity was a nameless kid (who only remember his "Gran'pa" calling him that) that was killed by a U-Boat that sunk his granddad's fishing boat. However, he discovered to a mix-up he died seventy-five too soon. To fix the error, he was turned into a supernatural superhero for the next seventy-five years. He could good historical / mythological figures or become intangible / tangible via saying "Eternity". He was also aided by the idiot that made the error, Mr. Keeper. Notable villains included Her Highness and Silk (two con women) and Master Man (who had similar powers to KE, but summoned evil guys).

DC Comics

The owner of Quality sold his company to DC Comic. Kid Eternity lived in the same universe as Captain Marvel (which is different from the main reality), Earth-S. The reason this happen was the writer thought his powers were very similar to the Marvels (activating superpowers via a magic word). He was, now, Christopher "Kit" Freeman, brother of Freddy Freeman (Captain Marvel Jr.). He became a supporting character for the Big Red Cheese. Later in 1990s, Vertigo Comics (imprint of DC) unveiled a dark version of Eternity. His grandpa was actually a sexual predator (using Kid for his own purposes). He was a fishing boat, when a U-Boat blew it up. He went to a pseudo-heaven created by the Lords of Chaos. They manipulated him into being their pawn and think that he died seventy-five too soon and their sending him back was to fix the error. They gave him a minor Lord (Mr. Keeper) as a guide. They did this to speed up the evolution of mankind, so God will let them back into Heaven. The people he summons are actually demons in disguise. He was killed in JSA # 1, only to come back in Teen Titans # 31 via the new Brother Blood. He rebelled againist the Lords of Choas and nearly lost his powers only to be saved by the Lords of Order. But, he was weakened. His powers were similar to his pre-Veritgo except he could only summon thr figures for little over a minute. He might have beaten to death by the Calculator (mad that KE couldn't get his dead son back).

Big Bang Comic Heroes!

Big Book of Big Bang Comics

Big Bang Comic Info: Big Bang Comics is a comic publisher that makes comic book characters based off of Golden and Silver age comic book character. There are two main realities: Earth-A (the Silver Age world) and Earth-B (the Golden Age).
Characters: Here are some notable heroes from Big Bang Comics:

• Dr. Weird- Dr. Rex Ward (from the 24th century) created a time machine and went back in time to 1940 (on the Silver Age Earth). He died. He created a time paradox: he was man, who died before he was born! He became a undead creature. Now he wanders the Earth and fighting crime, until he gets to his true time and finally rest in peace. Doctor Weird can become invisible and intangible at will; fly; teleport; turn people to stone by looking at them; can talk to the dead; has visions; and is superhuman strong. He is based off of Mr. Justice, but has elements of Marvel's Doctor Strange and DC's Spectre.
• Protoplasman- His origin are unknown, he is the comic relief of Big Bang Comics. He either has body elastic or to turn his body to a liquid state allowing him to appear he's stretching. He works closely with Knight Watchman. He has a zany personality like Jim Carrey. He is obviously based off of Plastic Man.
• Knight Watchman- His brother and sister-in-law were killed by criminals, that Ted (the brother) owed money. So Reid Randall became a Batman- type anti-hero. His foes include Mr. Mask (based on Clayface), Pink Flamingo (a mix of Joker and Penguin) (don't ask), Quizmaster (Based on the Riddler) and Grandfather Clock (loosely based on Clock King).
• Ultiman (Earth A)- Chris Kelly gained flight, laser-vision (like heat vision), "ultra-human" strength, speed, hearing and invincibly after the Project Gemini incident thanks to radioactive meteor. His main foe is Reverso (as the name implies he's based off of Bizarro). Ultiman is based off of Superman.
• The Beacon- Earth-A Julie Gardner discover a power crystal that had three actions (each time one of them were used it transformed color): energy absorption (red), super strength (green) and defense (yellow). She decided to become a superhero and called herself Beacon. But in the Big Bang Comic's verison of "Crisis of Infinite Earths", she lost it and Earth-B geologist Scott Martin found and became a hero too and took the same name. However unlike Julie, Scott put the crystal in a hard-hat.
• Mr. Martain- CH'kk KK'xx is a martian that went to Earth to make sure the Nuclear Age didn't up in tragedy. His ship was shot down by Americans, mistaking him for a Communist attack, and crashed in Roswell. He took the alter ego of Chuck Cox. He has super strength, teleportion and a shrink ray. He is based off of Martian Manhunter.
• Robo-Hood- On Earth A, a suit of Armor "not designed to be worn by any knight" and had "an intricate system of gears and mechanism, dating back to the middle ages" was found and sent to a museum for research. The watchman, Arthur Dodd, figured out it was a robot! One night, he was shot by a thief in front of the armor. Then he had a vision of Merlin telling him that there were 3 of the suits and they were built to house fallen knights and the robots were "strong as any shield (with) marksmanship more precise than any mortal". Then Dodd's soul was teleported into the machine! Using arrows on display, he avenge his death. The thief said he was caught by "a robot Robin Hood- a Robo-Hood". He is a amalgam of DC comic's Green Arrow and Robot Man

The Secret Society of Super-Villain I

Issue 3 of their series

Beware of the SSSV! Formed by Darkseid (enemy of the New Gods), he did this to replace the ineffective Intergang. He got these mind-like villains: Captain Comet, a Paul Kirk-clone, Captain Boomerang, Captain Cold, Copperhead, Gorilla Grodd, Mirror Master, Shadow Thief and Star Sapphire. After learning why Darksied formed the team, they rebelled against him and functioned on their own. They plagued many super heroes and super hero teams. The Society still has struggles within the group for leadership.

Echo (DC Comics)

I want to shine some more ligth on Echo. Myke-4 Astor teams up with the Adult Legion of Super-Villains (for unknown reasons) calling himself "Echo". While the LSV try to lead their heroic counterparts to their deaths, Echo ambushed Cosmic Boy. Using his sound manipulation (manifested as vibration waves and sonic scream), he nearly defeated Cosmic Man (that time line's older Cosmic Boy)! But Cosmic Man use his magnetic control to take away the air from Echo (since it's oxygen and nitrogen are slightly paramagnetic) to knock him out and render him powerless (since sound travels through air).

Number None

I am writing about Number None, because I was running out of room in the "Brotherhood of Dada" blog and didn't put any detail.

Number None is the most elusive super villain ever and is apparently invisible. As Mr. Nobody said, Number None is every nuisance that happens to you that you didn't expect. Number None seems to be able to transform itself into anything that can get in your way and is invisible until he does so.

He joined Mr. Nobody's second Brotherhood of Dada. He manifest himself 3 times: 1) The door that hit Agent !, while closing itself. 2) The banana peel that Crazy Jane slipped on. 3) The step that was crush under John Dandy's feet.

Its unknown if John Dandy killed Number None, because it unknown if it can be killed.

Radiation Roy

How Radiation Roy's try out for the Legion went

He has been a wannabe-hero, a villain, a hero and blood-thirsty alien hunter! Roy Travich developed the power to emit radiation, so be could join his heroes: the Legion of Super-Heroes. But he has little control over this power and was rejected. It didn't help that after Saturn Girl read his inner desires, she couldn't sleep for 2 nights. Angry and bitter, he joined the Legion of Super-Villains. He had relationship with Spider Girl, but this ended. The radiation took it toll on Roy, so he got a red containment suit to protect him. He later formed the "Justice" League Earth with other Earth-born Legion rejects Storm Boy (can control weather via a remote), Golden Boy (has the power of Midas), Earth Man (first known as Absorbency Boy) (can absorb super powers), Tusker (can grow unbreakable tusks) and Eye-ful Ethel (has eyes all round his head). They acted like priests and said Superman's Krypton origins were lies and the Legion were going to invade the Earth. They were worshiped as heroes by kids. They were actually mercilessly hunted every alien they could find (including the Legion of Super-Heroes). The Legion of Super-Heroes, Superman and the Legion of Substitute-Heroes exposed them and the league was sent to jail on the planet Tarkon-Galtos. But they were freed by Superboy Prime and they joined his Legion of Super-Villains (which had almost every foe the Legion of Super-Hero faced). While attacking the United Planet (yes, like the United Nations, but with planets), Radiation Roy killed Myg (the second Karate Kid), before Lighting Lad electrocuted him.
