This was back before Max Gaines tricked readers into using the term “comic books,” back when people still told the truth. Fantastic brain destroyers! Yeah, those were the days.

How far we’ve fallen since then...

I haven’t been offended at all. You seemed to think I was answering you, so I clarified.

But okay, I pick Lois.

That’s a long winded way of saying they have the reasoning of a 12 year old.

St. Paul’s.

Phillips Exeter has two L’s and two P’s, St. Paul’s has one L and one P. Hope that helps!

Okay, okay, Exeter is larger and top-ranked and St. Paul’s is not quite as top-ranked, but once you’ve gotten through Harvard nobody cares which prep school you went to but your classmates.

They showed up off and on, across the DCU...including recently, in the PEACEMAKER TRIES HARD mini.

Created because Len liked writing the Marvel Wrecking Crew, which he also co-created.

I think they're a blast, except that Steamroller's little steam-scooter is completely unconvincing.
