Episode #5: Captain What Now? (When We Last Left Our Heroes)

When we think of superheroes, we think of Superman, we think of Batman, we think of The Avengers and Spider-Man. But how many of us have heard of Dazzler? Or The Black Dwarf? Or Dr. Hormone? The early years of the comic book superhero seemed boundless. No one had ever seen anything like Superman before so no one had any idea what worked and what didn't. It was a time when no idea was too far-fetched or too stupid. It was a time when artists and writers and publishers would try anything and everything once. On Episode 5 of When We Last Left Our Heroes, Umapagan Ampikaipakan, along with author and superhero historian Jon Morris, take on the likes of Airwave, Extrańo, Rainbow Boy, and of course, the infamous Red Bee.
