Celebrate Comic Book Day With Our Top Superhero Fails!
Calling all Supermen, Calling all Wonder Women, Calling all Spider-Men, its National Comic Book day. Itâs time for all of us Nerds and Geeks to Unite and march to our nearest comic book store and buy all the comics, all the graphic novels and all the super merch you can carry, to celebrate our united love of all things comic book related. To celebrate this day Iâm not going to shout about Superman, Iâm not going to blab on about Batman or waffle on about Wonder Woman. Iâm going to give you a little insight about the underdog heros, The ones who (thankfully) never made it and fell into comic obscurity.
Check out some of our top not so super, Superheroes......
The Legion of the Superpets
In the late 1950s and the early 1960s DC just kind of got weird. They kept introducing all these super intelligent animals with the same superpowers as Superman who all wore red capes. The first was Krypto the Superdog who was sent to earth by Supermanâs father Jor-El in a test rocket before he sent Superman to make sure it worked alright. Superman and Krypto were reunited on earth when Superman was a teenager and they fought crime together.
Next was Beppo the Supermonkey. Beppo had pretty much the same story. Jor-El also sent a monkey to make sure the rocket would work. Everybody knows that comics need a chimp, so Beppo provided comic relief by wearing a Superman costume.
The next was Streaky the Supercat. Now Streaky wasnât sent from Krypton in a rocket but was infected by something called X-Kryptonite which gave earth animals superpowers. Finally came Comet the Superhorse. Comet was an alien horse that was really a centaur who had a curse put on him by some scorned goddess (or something like that) and turned human once a year when a comet passed through Earthâs atmosphere and would romance Supergirl in human form, but the rest of the year was nothing but her pet horse (holy Catherine the Great Batman!). Anyways, these animals eventually joined forces to become the Legion of the Superpets. I swear to god. Ok you hit your head against the desk now, that bits over.
