I've got that book out in the garage somewhere, Pat.  I initially thought it was something by JB when I bought it.

Thanks, Ryan!

Nathan, how long have you owned that piece?  Where did you get it?  I would enjoy hearing/reading the story.

My friends and I used to run around the playground playing Squadron Supreme.  We thought that playing Justice League was just too culturally mainstream.

Great issue! I loved the Master of the World from this issue on and think he
should have achieved a much MUCH bigger role in the Marvel U ...

haha!

we approached the "car" voltron the same way. it also had the benefit of
maintaining virsimiltude while allowing for a large cast of ethnically
diverse characters.

the playground was serious business!

I remember when I was a kid, my friends and I used to run around with bathtowels around our necks, playing various superheroes.

One friend had a neat toy, a rubber ball on a long elastic chord, and he played Spiderman. He used the ball and chord as his webline. Another used to steal his Mom's trashcan lid and play Captain America! Good Times!

I used to love playing beach-towel-heroes. I was always Superman or
Batman (my Batman getup included a navy-blue beach towel cape and a
toque pulled over my eyes as a cowl).

I had a friend who always played the Flash and insisted on the cape anyway.

"The Flash could have a cape," was always his compelling argument.
