#Kryptonite Heart

"IT IS A MISTAKE TO MERELY REFER TO METALLO AS A MECHANICAL BEING OR ROBOT..."

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on the Kryptonite-powered supervillain, enemy of Superman, and member of the dreaded Legion of Doom, Metallo, from the pages of "Justice" Vol. 1 #4. April, 2006. DC Comics. Artwork by Doug Braithwaite & Alex Ross. Sketch art by Alex Ross.

MINI-BIO: "It is a mistake to merely refer to Metallo as a mechanical being or robot. Cyborg is perhaps a better word. Metallo still has the brain of John Corben.

Corben was in a terrible accident, one that a scientist, anxious to experiment on a human possibilty beyond what the law would allow, took advantage of. Corben's brain was transplanted into a cybernetic body fueled by uranium. Perhaps the loss of his body was too much for him. Or maybe he was also inclined towards crime. Under the name Metallo, Corben became a criminal.

But it is not Corben's robotic strength that is a threat to Superman. In time, Corben found a better source of energy than uranium. At the heart of this robot criminal is a piece of Kryptonite, the only mineral capable of killing the last Kryptonian."

Soap finally conning Ghost into spending the holidays with his family. Soap who has a lovely mum and a handful of sister's who in turn, have their own gaggle of children.

It's incredibly sweet to see the bulky scott pack around a wee toddler with a too high ponytail rambling at him in an incomprehensible (to ghost) scottish accent.

Ghost doesn't know if he's more charmed by the toddler or by Soap who speaks with her as if she is grown.

Soap swigging at his beer with a little girl in a pink dress mimicking his every move with an ice cool refreshing apple juice. Sighing like a seasoned soldier herself. "Aye I understand, S'hard work being 4."

Like their uncle, the other little one's arent shy, piling around Ghost with glittering eyes and unyielding questions. He's patient, of course he is. Careful with his words while throwing in some cheesy jokes that break them out in giggles.

There is a certain ache in his chest though, a weight that always gets heavier this time of year. It had been some time since he had gathered with others like this. But Soap is almost as pleased as his mum that Ghost is staying. So he bares it.

One evening, one of the children calls for him. "Uncle Simon" falling from the toddlers mouth in a playful, high-pitched squeal as she bounded at him at full speed. He nearly misses her, just barely managing to scoop her up and hold her aloft from the gang of cousins that follow in a heated game of tag. More "Uncle Simons" follow in a chorus as the others accept the title with ease.

His heart feels just the slightest bit lighter.

(SPOILERS if you haven't seen the show yet):

Mxy knocks over a display case that contains the Helmet of Fate. The mystical, god containing item, makes its first appearance, along with Doctor Fate, in More Fun Comics #55 (1940) the panels were done by Gardner Fox and Howard Sherman. The Helmet of Fate is the one controlling the body as it contains the god, Nabu, the Lord of Order. The helmet grants anyone who wears it magical powers and the mantle of the Doctor Fate. Usually the person most associated with the it is Kent Nelson but recent comics had Khalid Nassour take up the Doctor Fate name.

Next we see Mxy pass by the Cosmic Rod of Starman/Stargirl. In the

comics the original owner of the Cosmic Rod was Ted Knigh, the original Starman. The Cosmic Rod he wielded was about the size of a flashlight. It wasn't until Starman #4 (1994) (W: James Robinson, P: Tony Harris, I: Wade Von Grawbadger, C: Gregory Wright, L: John Workman) that his son, Jack Knight took the new and improved Cosmic Rod that his father made and used it for himself to take up the Starman name. The staff would then get passed on to Courtney Whitmore aka Stargirl who at the time took up the name Star-Spangled Kid, when Jack retired the Starman identity to raise his kid. Courtney took up the Starman name as Stargirl and used the Cosmic Rod to carry on the name. The Cosmic Rod gives its wielder flight and energy projection.

Mr. Mxyzptlk then passes over a flight ring in the display. Very good homage to the Legion of Superheroes. Originally the LoSH wore belts to allow their members to fly, but Brainiac 5 was able to make flight rings so they can be less encumbered by the belts as seen in the panel from Adventure Comics #329 (1965) (W: Jerry Seigel, P&I: Jim Mooney, L: David Huffine). The LoSH are a group of young superheroes from the 31st century who are from various parts of the galaxy that fight evil as a team. The group was inspired by reading the history of what Superman did and they want to uphold his ideals and legacy. If they do show up in the show I'll definitely talk more about them.

In another display we see the Soultaker Sword. The sword is associated with Tatsu Yamashiro aka Katana. It and Katana make their first debut in the Brave and the Bold 200 (1983) (W: Mike Barr, P&I: Jim Aparo, C: Adrienne Roy, L: Jim Aparo). The sword was forged by Muramasa, who imbued it with magical properties where whoever kills with the sword, steals the souls of the victim's. Tatsu's husband and children were unfortunately slain by the sword, wielded by her brother-in-law and Tatsu has since then taken the sword and use it to avenged those who were slain by him. Because of the swords magical properties, it can be used to harm Kryptonians. Yes magic is a weakness for Superman.

When we cut back to the League of Loises ship, Jalana goes Flamebird on everyone and name drops Comet. This is a very good homage to Comet the Super-Horse. Comet made his first debut in Adventure Comics 293 (1962) (W: Jerry Seigel, P: Curt Swan, I: George Klein, L: Milt Snapinn) Comet, along with Krypto the Super-Dog, Streaky the Super-Cat, and Beppo the Super-Monkey, formed the Legion of Super-Pets to save the Legion of Superheroes and Superboy from Brain-Globes of Rambat. Give Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow a read if you want to check out a really cool Comet story.

Krypton gets a name drop, Superman's home planet.

Someone on the MAwS team is a Kingdom Hearts fan.

Kryptonite is finally introduced in the show, the most well-known weakness of Superman's. Fun fact Kryptonite made its first appearance not in the comics but on the Adventures of Superman radio show in 1943. It wasn't until 6 years later in 1949 that Kryptonite is introduced in the comics in Superman #61.

At the League of Loises HQ we see MAwS Lois and Mxy walk down the hall with holographic projections of various Loises in the DC multiverse. The one on your left is obviously Lois Prime aka Fleischer Studios Lois the one on your right is Superman the Animated Series Lois. The one next to StAS Lois is Superwoman from Action Comics #60 (1943). The issue was created by Jerry Seigel and George Roussos where Lois dreams of having Superman's powers and saving the day.

As Mxy searches for his hat we see him open up a cache of various weapons that the Loises have collected. Some of them are pretty recognizable like the Card Captor Sakura staff that's by Mxy's head, Guts's giant sword from Berserk above Mxy on the second shelf from the bottom.

As the episode wraps up we see MAwS lois activate the data sphere she took from the headquarters and sees evil Supermen tearing up the city. The first we see is an homage to Overman from Animal Man #23 (1990) (W: Peter Milligan, P: Chas Truog, I: Mark Farmer, C: Tajana Wood, L: John Costanza) and the second is designed after Justice Lords Superman from the Justice League cartoon.

Overman is from a world where all superheroes are part of the government and each one is a clone from him. Justice Lords Superman is from the two-parter episode "A Better World" where his Flash died, Superman kills President Lex Luthor in retaliation and he and the Justice League become dictators. Gotta admit Superman does look pretty cool in that suit.

That will be it for this week's episodes Easter Eggs and references. If you made it this far down the post and want to see the other MAwS Easter Eggs and references post you can find them here:

jon and jay are on a date and they both order separately cause they always fight over the bill (midwestern kindness vs the ethnic desire to not let anyone pay for the bill fight!) and the barista asks for their names and they give the ones they normally use. and they're just sitting and talking when the barista calls out their drinks.

"1 mocha frap for jon nakamura! 1 mango dragonfruit refresher for jay kent!"

and they both can't fucking look at each other properly for the rest of the date without blushing

[crimeronan]

STRONGLY considering injecting amity into the princess luz AU bc i know Exactly where she'd fit but the problem is that if i do that then i KNOW i'll fall down a fucked-up hyperfixation rabbit hole that only interests like six people at best. bc the amity-luz-hunter dynamic remains my kryptonite. i'm diseased about it. oooooh god oooh my god. oh my god. i have. Thoughts.

Were the extreme close ups necessary???

randomly opened netgallety for the first time in years to request a book and uh. the way i do not remember this book AT ALL for the way it apparently had me squealing literally can't even remember the main character's names help

// I always figured Karlach was unflappable. I never imagined her to over react or get shy or embarrassed about explicit subjects, gory details or anything like that.

// Then that Wyll clip of "Ooo, fuck yes, that's my girl!" came out. I remembered how she acts sometimes in her romance and I found it. I found what can make Karlach flush so fucking fast.

// Calling her 'yours'. Nothing gets her blushing harder and trying not to squee more than that. She does it all the time after all (calling the companions "my _____" and "say it, 'I'm yours Karlach'" from her romance). So when someone says it in a loving/sexual way, it's powerful. And overwhelming. She'd be giddy (and allured depending on the situation).

// It's not the same kind of ownership she's used to. It's a promise.

It's only the first episode and this man keeps looking at Ken like this.

It's only the first episode and I'm. Already. Screaming.

Sending this to a bunch of Pedro girlies (gn) because it’s fun seeing everybody’s answers!!!

Who are your top three Pedro boys? 🤍

This gif of Pedro with his Mando figurine is a perfect visual representation of me with Din Djarin. My beloved baby boy 😭 I miss him.

Javier Peña is like. A life changer. Has anybody who’s watched this show moved on from him yet? I can’t imagine. He’s so endearing even in his grumpiest and most morally grey moments because it’s so clear how much he cares underneath everything. I want to massage his temples and feed him something sweet.

Frankie. Francisco. Catfish. Beloved. Here’s the thing—this movie doesn’t feature much in the way of uhhh “character development” or “in-depth backstory” so I do feel like I’ve taken a number of liberties in my personal interpretation of this character. But maybe that’s one of the things I love about him too. He’s malleable in a way that I guess is very appealing to my writer’s heart 😂
