Lasso of Truth.

Superman’s heightened senses = built in lie detector

@Cartoonacy

Just a little confused. There was a Super Samurai, but he was a member of Freedom Force. You can kill him off; I’m OK with that.

@Don_Draper

Oh my God, you’re right. That’s where I got that name. Funny thing is, I don’'t think I’ve thought of that show (conciously at any rate) for the 35 - 40 years since it aired. I had forgotten it ever existed.

Yeah, I would’ve killed him off as well.

Huh, looking at that clip it’s familiar looking, so I must have seen it at least once as a kid, but to me Freedom Force is just the name the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants (Mystique’s version) used when they started working for the feds.

I’m heartened to see that, of the Super Friends who had powers and some canon behind them, Aquaman takes the lead for being particularly useless.

Oh, sure. I remember a comic in which he was rejuvenated by having a can of soda poured over his head.*
He’d never do that. The fish are his friends. Which always made me wonder just what he eats. Kelp and plankton aren’t all that high in protein.

*Wonder Woman #215, if you really want to know.

Wonder Woman. Anything she does Superman can do better, and I’m sure Batman could scrounge up a replacement for her plane from somewhere in Wayne Enterprises.

And, see, I go the other way on that. I want to see more Super Friends, not fewer, so I consider specialization to be important. Superman duplicates too many other Super Friends’ powers, so he’s got to be the one to go.
