Spoilers if you haven't read the issue yet

Starting things off Clark gives us a summary of what happened last issue and he mentions that the military took the Amazo robot back to Mt. Simonson and mentioned the defenses it has like the lead walls and the Cadmus Red Sun Omega Field. I talked a bit about Mt. Simonson's reference here, the lead wall's blocking out Superman's x-ray vision here, Red Sun being a weakness for Superman and Cadmus here, and the fact that the caption using the word Omega in the Red Sun Omega Field and the Kirby crackle in the panel here.

When our Daily Planet trio go to the base to figure out where the Amazo robot is Jimmy gets put on blast for his conspiracies about the things the military may or may not have or be doing. The latter two panels mention a turtle boy and Atlanteans from the Mariana Trench.

The first reference is a nod to Jimmy Olsen's time as the Giant Turtle Man. Giant kaiju turtle Jimmy Olsen makes his first appearance in Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen #53 (1961) [Cover art by Curt Swan] where Jimmy finds a treasure chest containing an enlarging ray that Jimmy accidentally triggers with a turtle nearby acting as a filter causing the ray to hit Jimmy creating the Giant Turtle Man as seen on the cover. Superman fixes this by using Brainiac's shrinking ray on Jimmy and Lori Lemaris who was once Superman's mermaid partner figures out Goxo, an Atlantean criminal who built the enlarging ray, was involved in all this. MAwS Jimmy also mentions mermaids and I talked more about the only Superman related mermaid, Lori Lemaris here.

Jimmy mentioning mutated Atlanteans from the Mariana Trench brings to mind the Trench from the Aquaman comics. This underwater civilization that was once part of the Atlantis kingdom and when Atlantis sunk to the ocean, the Trench adapted to their underwater environment to be more like the deep sea creatures who live deep down the depths of the ocean floor. The Trench make their first appearance in Aquaman #1 (2011) [W: Geoff Johns, P: Ivan Reis, I: Joe Prado, C: Rod Reis, L: Nick J. Napolitano] where they were seen surfacing back up from the ocean floor. You might also have seen them in the first Aquaman movie where Arthur and Mera are on a boat in the stormy seas and the Trench swarm and attack their boat.

Later on as Jimmy gets escorted to the visitors area, we see Robert and Slade have a dick measuring contest and Slade mentions Team Seven. I talk more about Robert's comic book counterpart here btw.

Team Seven makes its first appearance as Team 7 under the legendary Jim Lee's former comic imprint, Wildstorm in Gen 13 #4 (1994) [W: Jim Lee, Brandon Choi, J. Scott Campbell, P: J. Scott Campbell, I: Alex Garner, Sandra Hope, C: Wendy Broome, Wildstorm FX, L: Richard Starkings, Comicraft]. In the double page spread, John Lynch explains the history of the Team 7 which he was a part of, telling the Gen 13 kids, that their fathers who were all part of Team 7 was exposed to the Gen Factor to give them superpowers thanks to International Operations who now want to control the Gen 13 kids.

When Wildstorm and their characters were absorbed into DC, they became part of the DC universe and during the New 52 reboot Team 7 was reintroduced again with some familiar faces from the DC universe joining the team.

This iteration of Team 7 made its first debut in Team 7 #0 (2012) [Cover art by Ken Lashley and Nathan Eyring], where the team was composed of former Wildstorm Team 7 members, Alex Fairchild, Cole Cash aka Grifter, and James Bronson aka Majestic, DC familiars Amanda Waller, Dinah Drake II (the second Black Canary and daughter of the first Black Canary aka Dinah Drake I), Steve Trevor, and Slade Wilson and then-new to the New 52 universe characters Dean Higgins, Kurt Lance (who eventually marries Dinah Drake II), and Summer Ramos.

This iteration of Team 7 is a government affiliated team that is used to stop metahuman threats.

Later in the issue we meet Dr. Killgrave who, along with his team, are doing experiments on the Amazo robot.

Thaddeus Killgrave makes his first appearance in Superman #19 (1988) [Cover art by Jerry Ordway]. In the comics Professor Killgrave was a mad scientist who helped build anti-Superman tech sometimes even selling them to other villains. He also worked for Intergang before Superman was able to stop them all together.

And with that we finish the Easter eggs and references in My Adventures with Superman #2! Come back next month to see what is in issue 3! Be sure to preorder your copies at your local comic shops because not only are you showing DC that there are fans behind this book, but you are also helping out a small local business stay afloat as well!

My Adventures with Superman #4 - "The Ones Who Fell to Earth IV" (2024)

written by Josie Campbell art by Pablo M. Collar & Nick Filardi

[boondocktalks]

I really wish they would’ve kept Jazmine’s backstory in the series. It would’ve showed that she was complex like Huey was, and that even she had her own struggles, despite their challenges being different from one another.

As written in the comics, Jazmine had issues with her identity, particularly when it came to her hair. Although she was biracial, she didn’t inherit her mother’s hair texture and instead, she had an Afro. This caused her to feel self conscious about herself and wonder why she didn’t share that similar feature with her mother.

She was always trying to straighten it, and even tried denying that she had an Afro. Instead of her parents telling her to embrace her hair, they tried many products to make it look more socially acceptable, and none of the them worked.

Even in the script of the original pilot episode of “The Boondocks,” Uncle Ruckus made insulting comments about her hair, and condone the bullying that she was dealing with at school.

This dialogue between Ruckus and Robert takes place after Huey and Riley get into a fight with some boys who were making fun of Jazmine, and they end up in detention because of it. Although this scene doesn’t appear in the clip that was released, here’s a screenshot of the part where Ruckus made those remarks about her.

With this, as well as other examples, it confirms to me that Ruckus never truly liked Jazmine. He might have tolerated her a little more than the boys, but he rarely said her name, and pejoratively referred to her as slurs that describe those who are mixed race.

The only one that made her feel good about her hair was Huey. He even advised Tom, Jazmine’s father, to educate her about the beauty of her black roots, but Tom didn’t listen. He even compared her hair to the clouds, big but pretty. That compliment flew over her head, but it was still cute regardless. Also, he still viewed her as black, and didn’t treat her as if she was different.

I love the Jazmine we got in the show, there’s no doubt about it. However, I can only imagine how powerful her character would’ve been had they given us an episode exploring her background, and watching her build her self esteem. It would’ve been really touching to watch her transform from someone that was unsure of herself to a person who was confident in the skin she was in.
