Raphael: This elevator shaft goes down for miles. You can’t even see where it ends. Mona Lisa: Huh… Raphael: NO. Mona Lisa: You don’t even know what I’m going to do! Raphael: Yeah, you’re going to jump down the elevator shaft. Mona Lisa: *scoffs* What?! No… *scoots closer to the elevator* No… Raphael: Mona Lisa, I can SEE you inching towards it. Mona Lisa: Huh? What? No, I would never- Mona Lisa, jumping down the elevator shaft: Oh no! I slipped!!

If this is Lex then I'm happy to see that this show is moving away from the post-Crisis billionaire version and giving us more of a Silver Age scientist turned supervillain because he has a silly grudge. Would be even better if that grudge was because he got decked by Lois Lane.

Big fan of how Kon’s drawn in this panel

Mondo Gecko: So you finally got a date with Raphael, and your first move is to make a flow chart? Mona Lisa: And a map! Mondo Gecko: Seems like you’re putting a lot of pressure on this…

My Easter eggs and references for My Adventures with Superman comic issue 3 post is here

(SPOILERS obviously):

An obvious one, but a classic, the "up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Superman!" line reference. This one never gets old.

Jimmy next name drops Flamebird. in the comics Nightwing and Flamebird were Kryptonian superheroes adopting their names from a species of Kryptonian birds. This is where Dick Grayson gets his Nightwing identity from. The page here is from Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe #17 (1986) drawn by Curt Swan and Karl Kesel.

At the climatic battle of part 2 of Adventures of a Normal Man, we see Leslie Willis become blue and look more like her traditional Livewire look. Her first appearance was in Superman the Animated Series, season 2 episode 5 "Livewire" where she was voiced by Lori Petty, a.k.a. Tank Girl. In the show Leslie was a shock jock radio DJ slinging hot takes live on air knocking down Superman a peg or two

Obviously MAwS took Leslie in a whole different direction, design choice, and occupation change, but I am excited to see what happens next for her.

Before we see Clark battle Leslie we see this guy. White hair, wears orange and black, its Slade Wilson a.k.a. Deathstroke. This fool here in like 20 to 25 years will have his life spiral out of control and get his ass kicked by a bunch of colorfully dressed teenagers.

Deathstroke makes his first appearance in New Teen Titans #2 (1980) (W: Marv Wolfman and George Perez, P: George Perez, I: Romeo Tanghal, C: Adrienne Roy, L: Ben Oda) where he is hired by H.I.V.E. to kill the Teen Titans. In the comics he's a major piece of shit, but a damn good assassin.

After the fight we see Supes clean up and he picks up a billboard that reads Amazotech.

This is a good reference to Professor Anthony Ivo, a mad scientist of the DC Universe who built the Amazo robot who could adapt and replicate any power that the Justice League has and weaknesses. Both Ivo and the Amazo robot make their first appearances here in Brave and the Bold #30 (1960) with the cover art done by Mike Sekowsky and Murphy Anderson.

At the end of the episode Slade name drops Task Force X better known as the Suicide Squad. The name "Suicide Squad" is from the Brave and the Bold #25 where it was the name of Rick Flag's unit in the military. The Suicide Squad pop culture knows first debuted in Legends #3 (1987) as seen below (W: John Ostrander and Len Wein, P: John Byrne, I: Karl Kesel, C: Tom Ziuko, L: Steve Haynie).

The team at this time was composed of Rick Flag, Bronze Tiger, Captain Boomerang, Deadshot, Enchantress, and Blockbuster. The team members have changed out with each new Task Force X/Suicide Squad iteration.

Behind Slade, here is Amanda Waller, the most fearsome woman in the DC universe. She's ruthless, politically powerful, and will not hesitate to blow up anyone in the Suicide Squad if they screw up. She makes her first appearance in Legends #1 (1987) same comic series in the previous picture. Very excited to see where My Adventures with Superman goes with this cuz you don't see Superman interact with Deathstroke or Suicide Squad all the often.

ok putting these in their own post because truly i am so tired of the "superman hated/rejected/was cold to kon!!1!!" crowd. behold, a brief, nonexhaustive list of times canon explicitly depicted clark caring about kon.

clark loves kon and has been willing to throw down for him since day fucking one. he taught him to milk a cow. he went to check on him when he heard he got bad news. he loves kon so much that kon is one of the four people diana names in order to break him out of mind control (alongside herself, lois, and john henry irons). please actually read superman comics before talking shit about superman 💀

[desperatecheesecubes]

You can just pick up any issue of Suberboy and find Kon absolutely going through it
