It's good to hear you in my headphones again. I hope your work schedule settles down into a good routine for you, not just so I can hear more episodes, but so that life may be a little less busy for you.
ReplyDelete"Superman's Achilles Heel" was a good story, I thought, although, even as a kid, I suspected that the steel box on Superman's hand was probably a decoy. I was, at the time, surprised that the Red Kryptonite affected Superman's boot, eliminating its indestructability, but I guess there was no reason Red K wouldn't affect Kryptonian material, too.
"Target Superman" and "The Irresistible Clark Kent" was even a better story, because I think it was more difficult to guess the true identity of the Clark Kent impersonator (at least for me). Everything pointed to the advanced Robot XM21, although, in retrospect, and from a more adult perspective, the Look-Alike Squad, like the proverbial "Chekhov's Gun", needed, as a storytelling device, to "pay off" at some point.
As for your challenge about the ad proclaiming "Scooter is coming", I don't know for certain, but, based on the year, I have a vague memory of a DC "teen humor" comic coming out around then, called Swing With Scooter. It wasn't one I read, but I did see it from time to time at the newsstand where I got my comics.
You are absolutely right! I never read it either, but I do remember seeing ads for the series in DC comics back then.
