| I see Mighty Man gained a new super-power, like Giant Man/Ant-Man of Marvel. Likewise the Hulk received a power boost in Hulk #3 (now he could leap a mile in a single bound).
The Shark is a predecessor of Submariner. (similar hybrid origin,even.)
Look, I first new about Amazing Man, Mighty Man ,et al, from STUPID COMICS and the category "Before comics made sense". I needed to judge a story by its whole, not by some out-of-context clip. |
