[...] Green Lantern. No superpowers, no awesome weapons, not even anything made of yellow. Hell, at least Javelin had a yellow costume. Predator doesn’t even have that. Which means that in order for him to [...]

He also looks vaguely like Animal Man, between the colour scheme and the goggle-strap-neck-thingy.

Animal Man is someone else he’d have a hard time beating in a fight.

Marvel had a spider-man issue involving a tailor that did work for both heroes and villains alike. He saw villains on tuesdays and thursdays and heroes on wednesdays and fridays – or something like that. They showed images of him fitting the Blob, Dr Doom, Captain America, etc. If it hadn’t been tied into a really stupid subplot involving Spider-Man seeing his own future demise while helping Dr Strange contain Dormammu, it might have been a greater storyline.

I think Animal Man snuck in to make it a three-way.

LOL, best write up ever. That return policy rocks. Also his outfit looks like Booster gold and the blue beetle got to do a nasty.

“I think some of Captain Boomerang’s boomerangs were rigged with explosives. The idea being that his throwing skill let him accurately place where he wanted the change to go off.”

But isn’t that really just an explosive stick?

Though of course Captain Stick really wouldn’t have been that fearsome of a villain.

Captain Stick: “Fear me now, Flash. For I am Captain Stick.”

Flash (Barry of course): “Muhahahahahaha”

Marvel’s got the Tinkerer, who’s basically a mass murderer when you get down to it.

But Javelins? Vs. Green Lantern? Granted, I don’t really see who he COULD fight and have a chance, but…Green Lanterns can split atoms.

I wonder if the LSH Green Lantern is Sodom Yat, who has a silly name.

Evil Midnight Lurker:

Capt Boomerang first appeared in Flash 117 in 1960 while Boomerang first appeared in Tales to Astonish 81 in 1966.

“Speaking of boomerangs (both the regular one and the Captain) why did they carry multiple boomerangs?

If they missed the very design of the weapon meant it would come back. If they are so skilled wouldn’t they need only one?”

I think some of Captain Boomerang’s boomerangs were rigged with explosives. The idea being that his throwing skill let him accurately place where he wanted the change to go off.

On the other hand, he did shoot the Flash into space with a giant boomerang and did not anticipate it returning, so you have to wonder about the Captain….

First, I guess.
I mean just because the Flash was the first SAer.

The Flash’s Rogues Gallery *had* a Crime Tailor. …And speaking of the Rogues, when did *Captain* Boomerang debut vs. Marvel’s (non-Captain) Boomerang?

I don’t like the sound of those boomerang javelins. (“To me, my — urrrkk.”) I always wanted Javelin to have a javalina as a sidekick.

I’m willing to bet that Javelin was a member of the Zandia team in the “Australia Games” arc in Young Justice. I’d look through my collection, but I’m lazy.

I want MGK to get a job writing comics just so he can use The Crime Talior as a character.
