This Summer, Adventure Is All-You-Can-Eat

[sigma7]

More mad media from Lore: There's a reason reptiles don't fight crime. Nobody decides to call off a bank robbery because there might be an iguana present. Bonus for invoking an actual Legion of Super-Heroes member.

Also, lest I complain more about my family reunion, I pause and reflect that, all things being equal, I got off pretty easy.

*I'd* watch a Matter Eater Lad movie! Hmm...who should play our fearless hero...Nicholas Brendan? The "Buffy" cast as the LSH...hrmm.

I'd watch an M-E Lad movie. Brendan could do it justice, he's got the self-effacing pseudo-cocky mindset downpat. That could be awesome....

Well, this is the same guy who did the Geek Hierarchy Chart.

But he got something wrong in the M-E Lad description. Tenzil has no problem with energy monsters as there was one Legion story where (I'm not making this up) he eats a ray blast shot at him with the explanation that matter and energy are fundamentally the same since they can be transformed into each other. So he can eat energy.

Damn, I must've missed that issue. How could they make such an egregious error? It gives him the power of a GOD! He can eat ANYthing!

I do so like it when Lore lets his geek flag fly -- so much of the Book of Ratings's innate goodness stems from his intimate and enthusiastic knowledge of what he writes about, levels of awareness less secure people would be embarrassed of. So very glad he's getting paid for it now.

Dude, he ate a god-level plot device once (although it drove him mad for a while). The only thing he can't eat is Magnozite, a special alloy developed to be poisonous to Bismollians. Oh, and he can't eat any of the organic matter on Bismoll, which is poisonous to pretty much everything and the reason his people developed the ability to eat inorganic matter.

I had the issue where Brainy used the Miracle Machine to repel the initial Dark Circle invasion -- that was trippy, the introduction of the second real HQ (the building between the rocketship and the floaty-shiny-thing), giant-and-micro-size weapons for Gim and Vi...great issue.

Okay, so he couldn't eat anything. He would be nigh unto a god. He'd at least get his own show on Food Network.
