Nov 26, 2009 in Odd Bad Guys, What Were They Thinking
I honestly enjoy the Golden Age comics where the good guy is believed to be a criminal. It’s one of the best elements in the Sandman (other than Diane being an ex burglar who can handle herself quite well). In The King serial however, they just can’t make up their mind:

You have to love how obliging comic book bad guys are.
Bottom of page
…and the top of the next…
Either Hourman has super-speed changing powers, or the guy just stood there while he stripped down.

Example #325 of the height of super villain technology:
I love the idea that “The Fiddler” was the one who invented them this time.
Two posts today. No reason.

Concept:
Stop tipping off the insanely powerful heroes.
Oh, and to put it in context, yes, this is a trap. A trap that works, because the League are so used to stupid, stupid super villains who warn them first.
