Man, I love Vartox. Always have, always will. I actually tracked down some of the art from his very first appearance.

[...] here’s the other thing: Maaldor is kind of awesome in a low-rent B-list Vartox sort of way. He’s a full-on godly being who speaks of himself exclusively in the third person [...]

Actually, the Sombrero Galaxy is a real thing.

[...] supposedly artsy reputation, is CHOCKABLOCK FULL OF NERDS. Then I spied an old Action Comics with Vartox on the cover, and Matt explained that someone had asked for a sketch of Vartox wrestling Emma Peel [...]

About thirty years ago, in a waiting room, I read part of a Superman comic that had him battling some superpowerful guy who was succumbing to some bizarre disease that covered him with big polka-dots. No, seriously. Ever after, I wondered who that guy was, and what was going on. At long last, I think I’ve answered the first part, because the fellow wore a vest with no shirt and had an awesome ‘stache. I’m still not sure what was going on, but presumably it was the consequence of a whole array of things provoked by his emission of various forms of energy.

I actually have, and have recently read, his first appearance. One of the array of things that he could do was attack with “remote control blows”.

The Who’s Who picture really doesn’t do him justice. In the old action comics where he becomes a security guard (and he’s a security guard for the TV station in Metropolis where Clark works [and by the by, that's got to be the stupidest part of Superman's colorful life. I mean it's established that people don't figure out who Superman is because in part Clark isn't really a public figure and he goes out of his way to change his voice and posture from HEROIC Superman to WIMPY Clark Kent. How does that work as a TV Anchor?]) Vartox is rocking the handlebar ‘stash and a receeding hairline. And his costume looks a lot more like the loincloth/thigh-high-boots/bandoleers look that Connery sports in Zardoz.

And the best part: His superpowers are so super that he can “Hyper-hypnotize” people into thinking that he’s Superman (shades of Saturn Girl) AND as a side-effect of his awesomeness his home planet vibrates enough to explodes.

The lack of a trial is bad, but if I had the choice between spending 60 years in prison or aging 60 years in a matter of seconds, I would rather age fast.

Dr Manhattan (and Ron Jeremy) wrote to him requesting he wear pants, because they were feeling inadequate.

People are going to start talking about Osterman’s schlong like they used to talk about Chuck Norris, aren’t they?

I’m sorry, but am I reading correctly that he’s from “the Sombrero Galaxy”?

“Is he just splashing water at that asteroid? Because I’m pretty sure that’s not gonna work.”

No, what he’s [i]doing[/i] is an array of things with it. With his various kinds of energy.
