McG Zoom

July 11, 2009

Yellow figures sure do photograph well against black. Hm.
Anyway, Zoom is one of those bad guys who thought, “How can my name strike fear into the heart of my foes? Ah, I know…onomatopoeia!” That’d be like Wolverine being knows as Snikt. Or Hawkgirl as Flap. Or Natalie Wood as Gurgle.
Too soon?
How about Benjamin Guggenheim? There. [...]

McG Mirror Master

July 11, 2009

Yet another entry in the Flash’s Rogues Gallery whose power is contained to–and limited by–what his gun can do. Nothing Freudian there. Nosiree.
When it comes to color combos, green and orange could only look better if it were in a Studebaker singing “Movin’ Right Along.” His power started off a little goofy–throwing around mirrored illusions [...]

Which, yes, I know, technically, since Flash Gordon is a dude, it should be blond, not blonde, but seriously, since when do Americans start putting e’s on words depending on their gender? How [...]

McG Golden Age Flash

July 10, 2009

I don’t know too many middle-aged men who gray at the temples, yet this is the universal way for comics to show that a guy is actually aging. In fact, I don’t know that I’ve met a anyone who’s graying at the temples. You could count Jon Cryer from Hiding Out (pictured below), but he [...]

McG Captain Cold

July 9, 2009

Evil + parka = Captain Cold.
One of the charter members of the Legion of Doom, Captain Cold’s usefulness starts to elude you if you think about it too much. I mean his “super power” was his gun. Nothing too fancy about that. So what stopped Brainiac from programming a group of evil clipboards to swarm [...]
