The Subs were CLASSIC! I remember one issue, I think of DC Comics Presents, When Superman captured Ambush Bug ( before AB turned good), and handed him over to the Subs to hold. What 30th century marvel of a jail did they put him in? A fish tank. And he promptly escaped. Hilarity ensued, and I mean actual LOL hilarity, of the kind rarely seen in comic books. One of the best parts of the Subs issues is checking back in on Stone Boy, who is still…solid and immobile.
Ambush Bug was one of the funniest bad guys I had ever read. Have any of you ever read the Stupidman comic? Sooo funny. The Tick made his first entrance in this comic.
Oh, so he was a Super Dildo to ya, huh? 
So what was it? His scales? His green tights? That shock of golden hair, cascading gently o’er his heated brow?
Oh, and you guys who are nominating Wonderdog, Marvin, etc… Dagnabit, those were Junior Superfriends, not actual Superfriends! They can’t possibly count! They’re useless as a collective!
I can’t imagine why the Superfriends never had a member known as Super Dildo.
I’m sure Batman had a bat-dildo laying around somewhere…
What, no one’s ever heard of El Dorado? He’s the Mexican Superfriend whose only power is to project holograms from his eyes. Some power THAT is!
I’d just like to add that in almost every episode of the Superfriends I ever saw, the bad guys had defeated the Superfriends fair and square until the last minute, when they were saved by some deus ex machina. I actually rooted for the bad guys on that show because I felt they DESERVED to win! If the good guys are going to win, they need to EARN it, damn it!
For those who don’t speak Latin, deus ex machina is pronounced “deuce ex machine-ah” and it means “two things that were formerly machines.”
OK, fine. In that case, I nominate everyboy except Superman. He had to save all of their collective asses every episode anyway (Except for the occasions that someone would use some green kryptonite they found in their backyard, in which case Gleek would use his stretchy tail to throw it away, or something).

Merriam Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary, Tenth Edition pronounces it “dâ-es eks mä ki ne,” “mahkinah,” or “me shç ne”, “mehsheena.” No alternative pronunciation for “deus” - just “de us.” Deus meaning God or a god, and in classic Greek and Roman theatre, a god would be introduced by means of a crane to decide the final outcome of a play. Literally means “God from a machine.”
There, now that’s a hijack! (Man, I’m a bastard.)

Oh, and good call, Sealemon88. He sure saved their scrawny asses a lot, didn’t he? Surprised he didn’t complain about it more! “Why am I out there busting my ass to save you guys all the time? Do you do anything? I work and I slave, and what thanks do I get?”
What, Superman? The Big Blue Boy Scout? He’d never do anything as impolite as actually complain, are you kidding?!
Exactly! Think how cool he would have seemed if he said things like
“Dedicated to truth, justice, and peace for all mankind… my butt!”
and then flipped everyone off, sideswiped a prop plane, and invited hookers to his Fortress of Solitude. THAT would be a superhero! WoooooooHOOOOO!
And THAT, is why Superman will never be sexy. Aquaman was no Wolverine, but he wasn’t Mr. Goody Goody either. pff.

Yeah right! What bad things did Aquaman ever do? You talk about your Boy Scouts, at least Superman had a damn girlfriend! Who did Waterboy have? The hammerhead shark?
dantheman: As a Superfriend, Fishboy is useless. In the comics, he’s making time with Wonder Woman. For that reason alone, he’s my HERO.
“Whew I finally found Batman and Robin and were able to save them from the Riddler’s Giant Paper Bag Trap ™. Now I can finally relax a little, and–Jesus Christ. Hawkman’s getting his ass kicked by some some cub scouts with magnifying glasses. Superheroes, my ASS.”
BTW, Seanbaby’s page is hil-freakin-arious!
YES!! Someone else who despises the new Aquaman look!!
No vote from me, just a plug for Jon Morris’sOnline Sketchbuk on ape-law.com. He did a hypothetical redesign of the Legion of Doom recently. Interesting, though I don’t recall the Legion of Doom at all. Mxyzptlk, Darkseid, yeah. The LoD, no.
What? Nobody thinks you’re a bastard.
Yeah, I know the right way to say “deus ex machina” – I had this friend in high school who took Latin and I liked to drive him nuts by intentionally mispronouncing that and many other Latin phrases. He was an odd dude. He tried to get back at me by intentionally mispronouncing Spanish phrases (because I took Spanish) – like I cared. I have so few pleasant memories of high school and this is one.
