Michael BaileyHOST
1986, Superman, number one.
Michael BaileyHOST
by John Byrne came out, introducing the post-crisis Metallo.
Michael BaileyHOST
There's a thing in the back of that book saying that it was history on the drawing board when Dick Giordano saw it at John Byrne's studio, because it was the second Superman number one.
Michael BaileyHOST
We've gotten quite a few of those in the past couple of years.
JimHOST
Anybody saw him? But that guy seemed to have...
JimHOST
But he cured you, Metallo, because he had to stop and give Metallo an actual kryptonite pill.
JimHOST
Metallo spent five seconds with him, so he got to see Metallo.
JimHOST
Where did he get that kryptonite? Well, he was gold, so he could do that, but...
JimHOST
Well, he had to go grab it from somewhere.
Paul FrenchHOST
It wasn't the damn book.
Paul FrenchHOST
I thought it was this issue of Superman where Metallo is standing over him and he's like, you know, you thought all the kryptonite in the world had been destroyed, Superman, but you were wrong.
Paul FrenchHOST
You were dead wrong.
Paul FrenchHOST
And I thought that was the one, right? So, I mean, I even, you know, went out and got a decent grade copy of it because, like, hey, this was my very first comic, you know? And it turns out they have this big deal on Comixology this weekend for 99 cents for a bunch of Justice League titles.
Andy LarsonHOST
And at that point, you get kind of shades of what eventually Mark Millar would do with like Red Son.
Andy LarsonHOST
Lex Luthor has like all the baddies like Metallo and Bizarro and Parasite.
Andy LarsonHOST
And they're fighting against the Kryptonians to save Earth.
Andy LarsonHOST
It's an interesting book.
PeterHOST
No, no.
MattHOST
Like, I do like that he stops to help some things, right? So, like, he swaps out Metallo's, you know, Caldero kryptonite for traditional kryptonite heart because it's slowly killing him.
MattHOST
And it's like, oh, he didn't have to do that, but he did.
MattHOST
Now, that's a cool Superman moment.
8 MINS LATER
PeterHOST
Ah, maybe.
PeterHOST
Well, that's one of the problems, maybe, sometimes when you have these crossovers, is that everything has to come out in the right order, so there's no delaying anything.
MattHOST
Because then when we get to the Metropolis pages, where it's the people running through and whatnot, and, like, Perry gets knocked down, I think all the bodies look proportionate there, you know? And same with the Metallo stuff.
MattHOST
But, yeah, those first couple pages are really rough.
JustinHOST
[laughs]
ErinGUEST
[laughs] It's the rat from Metalo.
JustinHOST
The, the cultists were dis- were disappointing.
JustinHOST
[laughs]
Diabolu FrankHOST
Roger Corbin had about a half dozen appearances thereafter, including team-ups between Lois Lane and Batman, Batman with Superman, and Superman with Blue Devil.
Diabolu FrankHOST
At one point, Metallo had a miniature black hole placed in his chest cavity, and at another he gained telescoping body parts, again like the Golden Age Robot Man.
Diabolu FrankHOST
In his last pre-crisis story, Roger created hundreds of other Metallos to help him storm the Daily Planet offices, nearly killing Lois Lane.
Diabolu FrankHOST
Superman created a super magnet to attract all the Metallos and drop them off in prison.
Alan MiddletonGUEST
But like we said about Brainiac being a super villain, you know, super man foil who works, Metallo is too.
Alan MiddletonGUEST
Metallo just works as a solid villain.
Jamie GuyHOST
The Man of Steel must work through this virtual dimension and find a way to conquer the evil masterminds that created it.
Jamie GuyHOST
Explore incredible powers of Superman firsthand as you battle to rescue Lois from the clutches of Metallo and attempt to free Jimmy Olsen from the steel grip of Darkseid.
Adam JonesHOST
Is it Darkseid or Darkseid? I thought it was Darkseid, but I don't know.
Jamie GuyHOST
Maybe rescue him from Darkseid.
Jamie GuyHOST
Flight, heat vision, freezing breath, super strength, and x-ray vision.
Jamie GuyHOST
Pick up and use any object as a weapon.
Jamie GuyHOST
Battle on land, underwater, and in the sky against Metallo, the parasite, Darkseed slash Darkseid, and Lex Luthor's minions as you attempt to save Metropolis from doom.
Jamie GuyHOST
Fourteen alter- God, this is long.
Ryan TellezPANELIST
We're doing a lot of world-building.
Ryan TellezPANELIST
Um, we have introduced a cool villain, um, but we've kinda had to, like, sandwich him into this whole big world that we're trying to establish.
Tom WellingHOST
Michael's not satisfied, that's for sure.
Michael RosenbaumHOST
Well, there, there's that term, it's like deus ex machina.
Michael RosenbaumHOST
Zod is looking for ways to give his people power.
Michael RosenbaumHOST
Will the new freak-of-the-week model become Kandorian experim- experiments?
Ryan TellezPANELIST
'Cause we always gotta find a way to, like, insert some new villains in the, this week-to-week thing, and so they, this, could this be the way in is the Kandorians trying some stuff, and then hell breaks loose-
Michael RosenbaumHOST
Yeah
JosephHOST
I'm better than Shaw could ever possibly be.
TaylorHOST
So was this supposed to be what, when Tess handed him a part of Metallo? And this is what he made?
JosephHOST
Oh, maybe.
JosephHOST
Masterwork.
TaylorHOST
Is this the better version of Metallo? Which I'm gonna go further 'cause it, this suit bothers me so much.
TaylorHOST
So not only that with Toyman, you're trying to tell me that now we're copying what Lex made, and this is the Lex Luthor suit that we're now giving to Prankster?
JosephHOST
Yeah, but like-
TaylorHOST
There's no way he designed this for himself.
