We all know about that time Superman died fighting Doomsday in Superman #75...


...but who could forget that time he also died in the bottle city of Kandor at Batman's hands!

Making a grand total of one appearance in print, the Tempter didn't do a very good job tempting the readers into demanding more appearances.

A veritable blank slate of a character, he spends this issue whispering diabolical sweet nothings into the ear of Superman, tempting him to react to his baser instincts. He's good, and soon has Superman convinced he must destroy Midway City!

The plots a tad more convoluted than that, throwing Kandorian scientists and the Hawks into the mix, only to have true love surface to save the day. But honestly, if the creators of the character can't be bothered to give a little more backstory for the Tempter than I've probably already spent too much time examining him anyways.

So until some enterprising, young Grant Morrison wannabe upstart pulls him from obscurity for a starring role in the current DCU, he remains a character continuity forgot.

Never mind the floor, Superman, Ollie's mother has a laundry emergency that needs tending to!

Quick everybody! Darn those socks!

...will resume regular posting when I get back from the old fishing hole.

So far we've had dinosaurs of several species, dinosaur skeletons, imaginary dinosaurs, super-smart dinosaurs...but we've yet to have a Kryptonian Dinosaur.

Beware the Octosaur!

Why does it seem easier to believe that a man can fly, than to believe that Clark Kent has a fan club...much less 23 of them!

(I also think his fans need to get together and work on a catchier chant, as this one neither rhymes nor has good cadence.)
