.......keeps on going....

 

Spaceghost is tough...I just tried to look him up and found this

"I have researched through books, comics, and all the TV cartoon shows and I cannot find any indication of Space Ghost's origin. One book speculated that he was either a scientist who invented this great costume and power bands, or he was given the costume by the galactic patrol. "

He was cool as crap though!

 

Spiderman is iffy. That's what I found though.

I couldn't find out who won either the first race or second race between Superman and Flash, but I do know there was a whole book written on the race some time ago. I suspect that somebody cheated in the first race and forced them to race again, but I'm clueless.

 

The races....

http://www.hyperborea.org/flash/races.html

to recap briefly

race 1: a tie.
race 2: evil plot intervenes, both work together to get home. They still tie. Photo finish distorted somehow.
race 3: Superman conceding that "on this world," the Flash was indeed the fastest man alive. Something to do with yellow sun.
race4: Flash won by inches

 

Also strange to note the simlarities between the Green Lantern and "unbreakable". Perhaps Bruce Willis was infected by the green lantern....

Anybody remember Danger Mouse. That was too funny.
