Good sportsmanship

It's great to see that even in the 30th century, gentlemanly conduct and good sportsmanship are still thriving, even in the rough and tumble world of gladiatorial combat!

Unnecessary adventures in randomness

Anybody who's read my other blog knows that I'm a fan of some good, old fashioned random shenanigans, but even to me this seems like a frivolous (if not outright dangerous) way to pick a leader.

And then there was this time...

...that Adolf Hitler took over the body of Superboy!

This strikes me as too soon, not even twenty years after WWII.

Hell, even 66 years later and I'd still balk at having one of history's worst mass murderers taking over the body of a young Superman.

At least they did make Hitler rather buffoonish looking, with that silly looking Psycho-Changer on his head.
