Chuck is awesome at all times. Even architect Chuck with no powers from the Moy Legion. He just has fun with life.

The scary thing is NO PLOT POINTS were altered. That pretty much is his origin as written.

Here are a couple of pages from the older story he's redone. Interesting for comparison's sake. **boingggg**

Ever read Bigg Time by Templeton….there’s a bit when he goes on a rant about how irrelevant comics are.

Good book.

And who doesn’t love Bouncing Boy!

While I appreciate how you could take Bouncing Boy as a joke, I certainly wouldn’t want to get wanged in the face with his central mass.

No, She was Duo Damsel by that point. The third one was killed in Computo’s first appearance IIRC.

But he might have been a trigamist for a little bit, because I think ‘Una’ from Countdown was the dead one, because Legion of Three Worlds still has Duo Damsel.

Stig,
Two words: Duo Damsel.

Stig- Well… he IS a bigamist. (And his bigamy got him kicked out of the Legion, too! Although he later came back as the head of Legion Academy along with his two wives to make sure later recruits didn’t accidentally get shot by Scicops or anything like that)

It’s probably his expression in the final panel, but I somehow get the feeling that Bouncing Boy gets a monumental amount of tail.

Probably the expression.

Your subject line gave me a West Wing flashback: “You get Hoynes!”

The late Quarter Bin once posited that a good test for a comics story was whether A) it would be tonally disrupted by the sudden entrance of Bouncing Boy and B) whether it would be improved by said disruption.

I’m amused that the Elecro-Shock guy appears to be rabid.

“Grrrarf! Grrr!”
