Episode 101: Swordsman and Sword Master - Who Are They?

A young listener caught the name of a character I mentioned briefly in Episode 85, and asked me to follow up with his history.  This made me realize I had messed up in that episode, so I go over the history of the character I did name, plus dive into the backstory of the similarly named character I actually meant.

Apparently, if you have a French name, you also get an upturned mustache. I don’t write the rules, I just report them.

Sequoia. He mostly takes after his dad…

Swordsman…Sword Master…You know, Potato/Potaster.

Episode 47: Two More Questions from the Ladies of the “OHotMU or Not?” Podcast

Being non-comic readers (for the most part), but having to deal with things in the comic book world, I was curious to find out if the ladies from the OHotMU or Not podcast had questions they needed answered about comics.  And they delivered!  Two questions were answered last episode and now we finish them off with questions from Shotgun and Emelie!

Once again, this episode inspired by the women of this podcast. Thanks, ladies!

Sandman. He’s a man, and he’s sand. Powers explained.

DC’s first Sandman. He puts you to sleep with his sleep gas gun.

The 2nd Sandman from DC. A trippy dream warrior still based very much in a superhero world.

Sandman #3 from DC. The God of Dreams, aka Morpheus of the Endless.

Usually, Flash is the humble one and Quicksilver is the braggart. Perhaps this wasn’t the greatest example.

Black Canary putting up with these two is a miracle in and of itself.

Sad sack Peter Parker under Steve Ditko’s pen became…

Peter Parker, ladies man. But, still keeps the peak!
