Spoilers if you haven't seen it
Tumblr media
I might be reading too much into it but maybe this is a subtle reference to the Adventures with Superman comic title or it could just be a complimentary episode title to My Adventures with Superman. Who knows.
Tumblr media
The episode starts with Waller waking up getting ready for her day (shout out to Waller's daily affirmations btw) and she goes down to meet Sam Lane, Lois's father who I talked about here.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nice call back to Season 1 Episode 3 when Lois and Clark break into Stryker's Island again and entering into Siobhan McDougal's cell again but this time going under the island's jail to Task Force X secret operations. I talked about Siobhan McDougal aka Silver Banshee and Stryker's Island here.
Tumblr media
Later on we see Clark and Lois infiltrating the Task Force X hideout and Clark uses his X-Ray vision but can't seem to see through the walls here. If you know your Superman lore, these walls are made of lead.
Jerry Seigel and Joe Shuster, Superman's creators, first introduced X-Ray vision to Superman in Action Comics #11 (1939) where Clark is investigating some shady dealing involving oil and the death of someone involved in this deal. It wasn't until later in Action Comics #69 nice (1944) [W: Jerry Seigel, P&I: Ed Dobrotka] that we see there is a limit to Clark's X-Ray vision.
Tumblr media
Superman rescues Lois from the Prankster and his henchmen after surveying the area with his X-Ray vision and seeing that one of the buildings is made of lead and can't see inside it and he goes in to save her.
Tumblr media
Later as Sam, Lois and Superman escape the compound Waller sics one of her soldiers after them, a green skull-faced, radioactive soldier aka Atomic Skull.
Tumblr media
MAwS Waller calls Atomic Skull as Agent Martin, so we can assume this is a reference to Joseph Martin, the second Atomic Skull who first appeared in Adventures of Superman #383 (1991) [W: Jerry Ordway, P: Jim Fern, I: Doug Hazelwood, C: Glenn Whitmore, L: Albert DeGuzman]. In the comics Joseph Martin was a student. Later in Action Comics #670 (1991) Joseph, at a S.T.A.R. Labs for a check up, gets struck by a grounding cable and that triggers his Metagenes as the building collapsed. He was able to escape but stumbles back to his apartment and begins to lose his hair. Trying to figure out what is wrong Joseph gets jumped by some muggers and Joseph murders them and walks into the theater that is playing an Atomic Skull movie (yes in the post-Crisis on Infinite Earths continuity Atomic Skull is a movie character). Superman investigating the muggers murder discovers Joseph Martin at the movies and sees that he has changed and takes up the name the Atomic Skull as seen below in Action Comics #670 (1991) [W: Roger Stern, P: Bob McLeod, I: Denis Rodier, C: Glenn Whitmore, L: Bill Oakley].
Tumblr media
The original Atomic Skull, Albert Michaels, first appeared in Superman #303 (1976) as a piece-of-shit but smart AF scientist for S.T.A.R. Labs. Twenty issues later in Superman #323 (1978) [Cover art by Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez] , Albert Michaels dons the Atomic Skull costume after siding with SKULL and is given a radium implant in his brain that would grant him the ability to harness bioelectricity from his cranium and convert it to energy to shoot out from his visor.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Back at the Daily Planet, Jimmy is called out by Perry for not giving him a video and we see that the Flamebird team is composed of the Newkid Legion and Steve Lombard. I talked more about them here and here.
Tumblr media
We get one Wilhelm scream as as Task Force X soldier gets carried back into the dark hallway by Parasite/Ivo who I talked more about here.
Tumblr media
And finally after stopping Parasite from attack Waller, Lex Luthor shows up finally giving his name to Waller striking up a new partnership.
Tumblr media
Lex Luthor first appeared in Action Comics #23 (1940) [W: Jerry Seigel, P: Joe Shuster, I: Paul Cassidy] where he was exploiting European countries in WWII. This iteration of Lex goes by Alexei Luthor. Still smart like his other Lex Luthor counterparts with a knack for machinery technology. He apparently dies in his debut issue.
Tumblr media
In Action Comics #125 (1948) [P&I: Al Plastino] we see the debut of silver age Lex Luthor . In the comic Alexis Luthor here, uses his scientific genius to manipulate a hermit who's making prediction come true. This Lex Luthor has beef with Superboy back when he and Clark were kids. He swore revenge on Superboy for ruining his research after a fire broke out at his laboratory causing his hair to fall out thanks to the chemical fumes. This iteration of Lex is the one who creates the famous warsuit that Lex Luthor is usually depicted in.
Tumblr media
Post-Crisis on Infinite Earths Lex Luthor makes his first appearance in Swamp Thing #52 (1986) [W: Alan Moore, P: Rick Veitch, I: Alfredo Alcala, C: Tatjana Wood, L: John Costanza]. This version of Lex is the scientist and business man that pop culture knows and he goes by Alexander Luthor. His origins is rewritten so that instead of Lex being from Smallville and having met Superboy back then, he meets Superman in Metropolis where he created Lexcorp and almost everyone is under his employ whether they know it or not (see the Man of Steel miniseries from 1986). In that miniseries, he also has the red hair and eventually he goes bald. This version of Lex was also a former President of the United States.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Post-New52/DC Rebirth, because of some comic book shenanigans and retcons, some of Lex's origins pre-New 52 blends in this this current continuity now where Lex Luthor joined the Justice League as shown on the cover of Justice League #30 (2014) [Cover art by Ivan Reis, Joe Prado, and Rod Reis], was Superman when New 52 Superman died as shown in the variant cover of Action Comics #967 (2017) [Cover art by Gary Frank and Brad Simpson], and started the Legion of Doom seen on the cover of Justice League #5 (2018) [Cover art by Doug Mahnke, Jaime Mendoza, and Wil Quintana].

Mercy On Those Who Doubt
As Christians we should always remember to have mercy on those who “doubt”. It is our duty to save others by snatching them out of the fire (Jude 1:23).

A Ghost Story for Christmas: Count Magnus (2022)
"The, um, the mausoleum - the Count's tomb - might I crave a..."
"Yes?"
"A visit? It would be so helpful for my researches."
"Certainly. It is in the care of the church in the next village. I shall have a word with the deacon."
"Ah, now that must have been him I saw earlier."
"I beg your pardon?"
"Well, I saw someone. Standing on the steps, locking, or unlocking I suppose, the door. That must have been your deacon."
"Yes. It must have been."
#a ghost story for christmas#count magnus#m. r. james#horror tv#new tv#single play#2022#mark gatiss#jason watkins#myanna buring#max bremer#jamal ajala#allan corduner#krister henriksson#michael carlo#dominic vulliamy#toby hadoke#linus karp#barry mcstay#joseph martin#an excellent addition to the modern canon of xmas ghost stories; Count Magnus was one of the stories Lawrence Gordon Clarke had wanted to#adapt during the original run of plays in the 70s‚ but was abandoned when the bbc vetoed a budget for it and started adapting non James#stories instead. that it has finally been produced some near 50 years later is nice enough‚ but it's gratifying that such a good job has#been done. Gatiss once again nests the story with a seemingly unknown narrator and pulls a few tricks here and there (including putting the#biggest and most shameless jumpscare not at the end of the play but right in the middle: i fair leaped out of my seat)#Watkins embodies the classic James protagonist; not a bad man nor a fool‚ but simply one given too freely to curiosity without due care#the style of this new run of plays is suitably painterly and richly drawn but if i had to make a criticism (or better stated‚ a comparison)#it's simply that they lack the original run's satisfaction in being simply very quiet and very still and letting the horror bleed out#regardless; Gatiss is too fond of eerie musical stings and floating camera work to allow the story to simply hang in the air for a moment#and breathe a chilly breath (something Clark was a master at). regardless this is excellent festive spookery and one of the xmas highlights
