It helped to get a lot of figures back out there, but also helped to establish right from the start just how much Hasbro intended to phone things in with the license. The baby was found by Jonathan and Martha Kent, who named him Clark and raised him as their own.

As he grew, Clark discovered he possessed powers and abilities far beyond those of ordinary people…powers he decided to use for the benefit of humanity as Superman. Have I said Superman enough? At this point, Series 4 was still awaiting its proper US release, so despite his rather standard Superman appearance, he was actually sort of new. The figure stands 5 inches tall and has 6 points of articulation.

The arms are a bit restricted by how the action feature works, but he is otherwise pretty good on the mobility front, at least for a DC figure of this era. While not entirely show accurate, it was a halfway decent figure, and keeping things consistent is far from the worst thing.

This release got a new set of arms, bent more at the elbows and with the hands flat, for the purposes of lifting stuff overhead. His paint work is generally pretty decent. Superman is packed with a chunk of wall and a car bumper, both of which are meant for use with his throwing action feature. Possessing excellent detective skills and a keen eye for news, she takes risks in pursuit of the scoop.

Lois can handle just about any situation that comes her way and talks rings around most men…but one man leaves her at a loss for words — Superman! Lois Lane, despite being one of the oldest and most visible female characters in comics, had up to this point never had an action figure, which seems kind of silly. She got her first two within a year of each other, so they were learning from their mistakes.

Lois was undoubtedly the selling point of this set, what with not having a figure before and all. Her articulation scheme is rather restricted, with the head being largely immobilized by the hair, and the legs are also without any movement below the waist.

Additionally, she has a lot of trouble remaining standing, not helped by the lack of any movement in the legs, or peg holes in the feet so that you could use a stand.

The biggest issues are definitely with the eyes, which are just a bit too small to be accurate. STAS was notable on that it actually gave its civilians a couple of different outfit options. Lois had two distinct color schemes, but this one is actually neither of them. Additionally, the application is quite dialed down, with only a few apps, which are kind of fuzzy.

Lois is packed with her cellphone and a clipboard, which is better than the kind of stuff most of these figures got. Brainiac travelled the universe, draining the worlds he encountered of all knowledge and leaving them ruined husks before he came to Earth where he at last found a foe able to withstand his enhanced strength and mental power — Superman! This time, I do have his goofy space sled thing, though, which is pretty cool, right? How about that?

The aggressive young inventor uses his great cunning and intellect for his own personal advancement, creating the multi-billion dollar megacorporation LexCorp.

While Brainiac made some degree of sense, Luthor made almost none. By this point, his first release was still rotting on the pegs of a lot of major retailers. I reviewed the Series 1 edition of the figure several years back, and the only difference between the two is some minor paint deco change up.

The gunmetal grey parts of the armor are now a pale metallic green, and the accents on the underlying figure are a truer green than before. They both just sort of exist.

I remember when this set came out, and I remember looking at it a lot, but I never actually got one. I think it was just too soft a sell for me. The other figures are the very definition of space fillers, which is likewise a disappointment.

Luthor is capable of designing incredible weaponry for use against Superman. What good are super heroes without some enemies to fight? Generally, kind of bored, I guess. No, they want action! His sculpt is another unique piece, and made for a quite nice recreation of the armor as seen in the comics. The detail work on the technical elements of the suit is pretty well-rendered, and makes him a slightly more visually interesting figure than he might be were he sporting the old jump-suit.

The paint work on Luthor follows his usual green and purple, although the purple does err a bit more on the side of magenta, perhaps to help him be a bit more distinct from the Joker figure included in the same assortment. The paint work is, like most of the line, very bold and bright, which is always a plus.

I also quite like the little insignia on the front of his armor. After being pretty invested in the line for a few years, I fell out of collecting Super Powers for several years, right around my late teens, going into my college years.

So, I jumped back into picking them up, and Luthor wound up as my first purchase after my return to collecting them, largely due to him being more on the affordable side. Is that perhaps a cruel way of making myself feel better? While his initial C3 release was a pretty decent classic Superman, it was still animation based, allowing this one to supplant it as a proper comics variant.

All three were new to this guy though the hair was shared with fellow Series 1 release Green Lantern , and would go on to see re-use throughout the line. Compared to the prior Superman, the parts on this one were mostly an improvement, though I always liked the way the C3 connected at the neck a little bit more. I do like the overall shaping of the actual cape part, though. This was his only shot. The character has had a lot of different looks over the years, but this one went for his at the time current iteration of his battle suit, which was definitely a solid choice.

Said battle suit was built from six add-on pieces, again all-new to this figure. The sculpting on these parts was superb, and is one of the earliest examples of such elements making their way into the line, as well as a good example of it being done well. All of the sculpted parts are things that should be bulked up, but they have a lot of small detail work to set them apart.

Again, lots of small detail lines, which makes him an interesting counterpoint to the much bolder Superman. Luthor is packed with a chunk of Kryptonite. Neither figure in the set can actually hold it, but it makes more sense to go with him. By far one of the strongest sets the line offered up.

This pair set a high bar for the rest of the line. Aw, you guys lucked out today. What a relief! This look is inoffensive. They could have at least made it an alternate head. The suit is at least well-done from a technical standpoint, with lots of clean line-work and a good mechanical look. The paintwork on this guy is certainly passable, but sort of continues the overall trend of being a little bland.

I found Luthor at the same time as Black Adam. Not bad in the slightest, but not exceedingly interesting either. Still, he looks nice with the rest of the set.

Batman: The Animated Series is pretty much universally viewed as one of the best interpretations of Batman and his supporting cast ever. It was revolutionary at the time it was released, and, thanks to top notch writing, animating, and acting, it still holds up pretty great after over 20 years. Kenner produced a line of toys to tie-in, but the character selection was somewhat limited, and many of the characters were rather off-model.

He was one of the two non-Superman characters in this particular series. The figure is a little over 5 inches tall and has 6 points of articulation. Dig that waist articulation guys! The trouble lies with literally every other piece of the figure. Rather than release him in his signature suit, Luthor is depicted here in a Kryptonite armor suit, which is completely made up for this figure.

That said, if they were going to do the clip on armor thing, why not put a more conventional suit under the armor? Just seems like a weird choice. As far as paint goes, Luthor is pretty reasonably handled. Nothing super thrilling, but everything is applied pretty cleanly. In addition to the clip on armor, Luthor includes a big freaking missile launcher thing. Hasbro would be so proud. I never had this figure growing up. I saw him many times over the years, but I just never got one.

Why now? So, I bought ten. Luthor was one of them. Follow Following. The Figure In Question Join other followers. Sign me up. Already have a WordPress. Log in now. Loading Comments Email Required Name Required Website.

The Top 10 Episodes of Superman: The Animated Series

This September marks the twentieth anniversary of Batman: The Animated Series , and the birth of the shared DC animated universe that would eventually expand to present one of the most comprehensive and thorough explorations of a comic book mythology in any medium. However, it actually does a fairly wonderful job working with a character who has proved quite difficult to handle. I think Superman: The Animated Series was at its strongest when it distinguished itself from its direct predecessor, Batman: The Animated Series , and I think that Stolen Memories is the perfect example of that. There are several factors that make Superman a very difficult character to write for an extended period of time, let alone three seasons of an animated television show. The first is the delicacy required with the character himself. After all, if you write a guy with that sort of power as a regular, flawed human being… you end up with Superman Returns. People often complain that there are seldom any stakes in most Superman stories, because the character is practically immortal and has crazy powers that mean any fight he enters should be over before it begins.

Almost forgot about this other DC Animated Series in the rest of the continuity. Stepping away from the dark and gloomy setting of Gotham and jumping into the bright and color city of Metropolis was a major change to what the creators were use too, but still managed to make it work with this show. Another interesting change for them was the storytelling of Superman, while writing for a character like Batman might be easier since he is a human dealing with some situations that could be a bit more real. With Superman, they had to create a show that was grounded and compelling about a man who is virtually indestructible. Luckily, they managed to incorporate some of Supermans classic villains to test the Man of Steel with the likes of Darkseid, Parasite, Metallo and Bizzaro. Even going as far as creating original villains with Livewire, Volcana, and Mala. The series also made sure to make connections to its other series with episodes that features Batman, Dr.
