Some Forgotten Beast Prototypes

As I've been reading much of the early Superboy stories in Adventure and now Superboy, I've been surprised to see that many of the things we thought were newly introduced in the Silver Age actually were reworkings of Golden [...]

One of the highlights of the Superboy pilot which I posted last week is the scene where Superboy creates diamonds out of coal. It is my recollection that one of the 1950s Superman episodes on TV was the first place this [...]

A bunch of Smallville residents come up with a way to mimic one of Superboy's powers. We'll assume that the giant bellows came from a Gotham City advertising si [...]
Some More Continuity Examples from DC
Người đăng: lecuongle on Thứ Năm, 12 tháng 5, 2011
DC could be maddening about this; for example, I can show you at least a half dozen stories about how Clark Kent/Superman met Perry White, each of which contradicts the other five. But at the same time, there were stories [...]
