963. The stunned Sentai issues 01-02 review!

This is a fun zine that should have lasted longer than it did.  Many factors were in play, I am sure.

VOTW- Bandora the Witch

From Ranger Wiki- 170 million years ago, Bandora was originally the Queen of the Dahl Tribe, but tragedy struck when her son Kai smashed some Tyrannosaurus eggs. In retaliation, the dinosaur chased Kai until he fell off a cliff, causing his death. Swearing revenge against all dinosaurs for taking her son away from her, Bandora sold her soul to Dai-Satan for great magical powers, but in doing so lost all memory of Kai. With her newfound power, Bandora waged war on the other tribes and the dinosaurs they worshipped. Although she almost drove the dinosaurs into extinction, she was stopped by the Guardian Beasts. As punishment for her crimes, Bandora and her followers Grifforzer, Totpat, Bookback, and Pleprechaun were exiled on the planet Nemesis, sealed away in an enchanted urn. In the event that Bandora may one day get free, the five tribes selected their greatest warriors to enter a state of suspended animation. These warriors included: Yamato Tribe Prince Geki, Sharma Tribe Knight Goushi, Etoffe Tribe Knight Dan, Dime Tribe Knight Boi, and Lithia Tribe Princess Mei. Their tombs were left in the care of Mysterious Sage Barza. Back to me:

The Jesus And Mary Chain - Happy When It Rains

Once again, I am very late to the party for discovering this band.  I don't remember hearing them here in Fossil Bed.

It was about three years ago I heard them on the radio.  They are great!
 

962. The leery Legend of Dinosaurs review!

Not a single dinosaur or monster bird exists in this movie.
 

961. The keen King Kong Show review 02!

In which X7 reviews seven more King Kong segments from the 1966 King Kong Show! We meet Kong's archenemy, Dr. Who! The international Judas himself!

Calvin and Hobbes 03-11-1986

How long was that extension cord?  I wonder if his parents approved.

960. The modest Man-Made Monster review!

This was not an easy review, since the movie is quite good, but it lacks something to make it even better.

Prehistoric New Zealand

What is it with artists picking on my beloved plesiosaurs?  While I am sure this scene did play out in real life at times, I am also sure it did not happen all the time.   Much like T. rex vs Triceratops, it would have been very rare.  Plus, we have no proof mosasaurs hunted together.  I suppose it is an exciting scene to paint, though.

959. The epic Enter the Fat Dragon review!

This is the first time I have watched this movie, and gods dang it, these are great fights!

"Superman on Earth"

 

Season One Episode One of The Adventures of Superman is an origin story.  It isn't quite as concise as the first issue of Action Comics was, but manages to get it all done in 25 minutes.

958. The smashing 7 Song Friday 08-07-2026 part 01!

Here we start a three part series about the best cartoon theme songs of the 1960s!

MAN MADE MONSTER (1941) Clip

Since the trailer for The Atomic Monster (the 50s re-release of this movie) is the only one I could find on YouTube is already up on this blog, here's a clip.

957. The glam Ghost Busters finale review!

I sure wish a second season had been made.  Dang that Captain Marvel!  Your loss, Filmation!

Enter the Fat Dragon 1978

I think I have seen this movie once before, but I am not sure.  This is a comedy, but Sammo isn't nearly as goofy as Jackie could be in his movies.  The plot is slight, Bruce Lee worshipping country boy goes to Hong Kong to work for his uncle.  He runs afoul of gangs and fights break out constantly.  Somehow, Ah Lung trained hard and became well versed in martial arts. I got this confused with 1980's Skinny Tiger Fatty Dragon, then realized I had not seen this one before.

956. The jaunty Josie and the Pussycats comic book review!

Yeah, I can't add or count, apparently.

Villain of the Week- Queen Bee

From Wiki- The Zazzala incarnation of Queen Bee first appeared in Justice League of America #23, and was created by Gardner Fox and Mike Sekowsky. The first Bialyan Queen Bee first appeared in Justice League International #16, and was created by J.M. DeMatteis and Keith Giffen. The Tazzala incarnation of Queen Bee first appeared in Creature Commandos #1. The Beatriz incarnation of Queen Bee first appeared in JLA: Incarnations #6, and was created by John Ostrander and Val Semeiks. Back to me:

Mary Jane: Face it, Tiger

60 years of one of our favorite redheads!

955. The suave Superior 8 Ultra Brothers review!

Another Mebius movie, another ending that looks like the same ending as the previous movie.

Another song about groupies.  I mean, in one aspect, it isn't, but really, it's a rock star saying "I'm leaving, see you next time I am in town."

954 The King Kong show

I wish the whole series was available, alas, we will get a truncated series review for a few weeks.

Calvin and Hobbes 03-10-1986

I can see why Calvin thought this might be a good idea...

953. The clear Captain Kronos Vampire Hunter review!

Here's an interesting Hammer movie that appears to have never been released in the US.

A Catwoman (number two, really)

The opening credits to the 1966 Batman movie are quite interesting, and very stylish.  I kinda think they were Bond influenced.

952. The wild When Tae Kwon Do Strikes review!

There should be a comedy meter for martial arts movies.

Too young to know the danger...

Made a friend of this giant fearsome stranger!

951 The super Spy Quest review!

This is a Tom and Jerry movie with the Quest Team as co-stars. It is pretty funny overall.

Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter (1974) Original Trailer

This underrated gem is being aired tomorrow on Svengoolie.  I haven't seen it in quite some time, so this should be fun.

50. The glorious Ghost Busters 09-12 review!

This show just grows on you, even if the humor is ever so corny most of the time.  The actors just make it much better.

When Tae Kwon Do Strikes 1973

I have seen this once before, I think from Sinister Sinema, in "sinema-scope" back in the day.  I remember liking it.

949. The spectacular Space Ghost merch review!

I had a lot of fun with this episode!  Space Ghost rules, that is all I gotta say.

Villain of the Week- Mr. Mind

From Wiki- Mister Mind is a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics, primarily as an enemy of Captain Marvel.^[1][2] Created by Otto Binder and C. C. Beck for Fawcett Comics, the character made a cameo appearance in Captain Marvel Adventures #22 (March 1943) before making his full first appearance in Captain Marvel Adventures #26 (August 1943).^[3] Mister Mind is a two-inch alien caterpillar-like being of high intelligence with telepathic powers who usually carries out his villainous plans through an organization called the Monster Society of Evil.^[4] The Society made its debut in Captain Marvel Adventures #22, and the resulting "Monster Society of Evil" story arc continued for two years in Captain Marvel Adventures, ending with issue #46 (May 1945).^[5]  Back to me:

948. The ideal It Came from Beneath the Sea review!

This is volume two, as the first one was done over 700 episodes, and was not on YouTube.

The Tourists Blind Among the Flowers On the Old Grey Whistle Test

I knew that Dave and Annie had been in the Tourists, but I had only seen their cover of "I Only Wanna be With You" before.

947. The superior Sym-Bionic Titan FINALE review!

It is a sad day here, as this is the final Sym-Bionic Titan review, and the series remains unfinished as of this writing.

Calvin and Hobbes Monday 03-09-1986

I wonder how long it took Mom to realize that Calvin was trying to sell the family car.

946. The neon Night Stalker (1972) review!

It is hard to talk too much about this movie, so we concentrate on a different aspect of it!

945. The risky Royal Warriors review!

Once again, I forgot to set this up from last night.  Alas.

Juken Sentai Gekiranger

From Wiki- Juken Sentai Gekiranger (獣拳戦隊ゲキレンジャー, Jūken Sentai Gekirenjā; Beast Fist Squadron Gekiranger)^[a] is Toei Company's thirty-first entry in the Super Sentai metaseries. Production began on September 29, 2006, with principal photography beginning on October 6, 2006. It aired on TV Asahi's 2007 Super Hero Time programming block with Kamen Rider Den-O from February 18, 2007, to February 10, 2008, replacing GoGo Sentai Boukenger and was replaced by Engine Sentai Go-onger.  Back to me:

once more, It rises from beneath the Sea!

I will be re-reviewing this movie shortly, since it was done on the Spotify-only days.  That was over 700 episodes ago, nearly two years!

944. The fond Flight of Dragons (1982) review!

In which X7 re-reviews The Flight of Dragons (from way back in the Spotify only days) and quite enjoys the whole movie once again! Dragons, magic, ogres, heroes, princesses, what's not to like? NOTHING! Let's soar into it!

ABC's Movie of the Week Intro - Night Stalker Trailer

Produced especially for the Movie of the Week!  I still can't believe I missed thisin 1972, but I was only seven...

943. The grand Ghost Busters 05-08 review!

This is a fun show.  It is super-silly, but the cast really gives it their all.

Royal Warriors 1986

This is an Academy Award® winning Michelle Yeoh movie I have never seen.  It is pretty good, and fun to see Hiroyuki Sanada as well.  Still, with his family showing up in Hong Kong, one can guess what is about to happen.  I am nearly 30 minutes into the movie, which tracks for the oncoming tragedy.  Spoiler alert (2hich should surprise no one):

942. The supreme Strange Change Machine review!

I love this toy, and the story of the history of it.  Sure, it was kinda dangerous, but that was part of the fun!

Villain of the Week- Deadpool

Yeah, I know, ol' Wade Wilson is a very popular character.  And the movie Deadpool and Wolverine was quite funny.  But he wantonly kills lots of people.  In this one movie alone.  Perhaps he is not as obnoxious in the comic books.  I don't know.  The excess of the 90s in his costume says he probably is, though.

941. The royal Rhubarb of 1951 review!

This is a first- a review of a movie about a cat who owns a sportsball/baseball team.

Luciana Paluzzi in Captain Nemo and the Underwater City

From Wiki- Captain Nemo and the Underwater City is a 1969 British film directed by James Hill and starring Robert Ryan, Chuck Connors and Nanette Newman. It features the character Captain Nemo and his submarine Nautilus inspired by Jules Verne's 1870 novel Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas. It was written by Pip and Jane Baker.^[2] back to me:

Jon Astley - Jane's Getting Serious (1987)

"And I could get serious, too..." Jon Astley is an amazing songwriter.  This song got used in a... ketchup commercial, I think.

940. The sharp Sym-Bionic Titan 13-16!

OK, how do we get a petition to get this show finished?  If Family Guy can be revived, why not a far superior show?

Calvin and Hobbes 03-08-1986

This is the first time Godzilla is referenced in the strip.  I was about Calvin's age when I met Godzilla for the first time.

939. The scenic Swamp Thing review!

Good ol' Swamp Thing!  His cinematic career isn't close to his comic book career!

Deadpool and Wolverine 2024

I just started watching this movie last night.  I have not watched the first two, since I am not much a of a Deadpool fan.

938. The tangled Ten Tigers of Kwangtung review!

Real heroes, probably a very embellished narrative.

Octus vs Mutraddi swamp monster

Octus is the most powerful of Team Titan.  His abilities are so vast and vague as to make him near omnipotent.

937. The hearty Hobbit of 1977 review!

 Lemme know what you think of this movie!

Swamp Thing 1982 trailer

Sven is airing this tomorrow, and it has been at least three decades since I have watched it.  Or the sequel.

936. The groovy Ghost Busters of 1975 01-04 review!

Here we go, a show that was a throwback to comedy series from the 50s and 60s, only with a supernatural element.

The Ghost Busters logo (1975)

This logo was used for both of Filmation's Ghost Busters series.  It does make the ghost look pretty unhappy!

935. The magical music of Hobbit 1977 review!

This is mostly about the music of the 1977 The Hobbit!  We do like it overall.

Villain of the Week- Hugo A Go-Go

Hugo A-Go-Go is a mad scientist and the main villain of the cartoon series Batfink.

He is a blue-smocked and wild-haired man and is referred to as "the world's maddest scientist" and spends his time in his "secret" laboratory creating weird and wacky inventions (including at one point building himself a robot bride complete with robot mother-in-law) to defeat Batfink and dominate the world.

He somehow manages to escape jail every time when caught to antagonize the hero in a later episode. The cheerfully demented little villain often breaks the fourth wall to talk with the narrator. 

934. The savvy Space Monster Wangmagwi review!

This movie sure is something.  I am not exactly sure just what, but here's a review!

Adrian Belew - intro + Oh Daddy

This fun song is from 1989, so Audie- Adrians's daugher- is now probably in her 40s.

933. The superb Sym-Bionic Titan 09-12 review!

I am really happy with this episode.  Great show, we get a lot of backstory, and more character development.

RIP Sam Neill at 78

This is going around now, and it appears to be completely unexpected.  Most people know him from Jurassic Park and I am one of those most people. 

Calvin and Hobbes Monday 03-07-1986

Do kids even break house windows with baseballs any more?  This was THE cliche for about fifty years.

930. 7 Lively Song Friday

How did I forget to post this last week?  I quite enjoyed making it, and listening to the songs!

932. The vivid Village of the Giants review!

Yep, I liked this far more than I thought I would.  It was just fun, and silly, and the villains got their comeuppance.

931. The agile Amazons and Supermen of 1974 review!

This is a fun movie, overall, but some judicious changes could have made it a classic.

Village of the Giants (1965) Trailer

I think I have watched this movie once.  I am 96.5% sure of it.  I do not remember much about it though.

929. The superior Spider-Noir finale 07-08 review!

This is a great series, well worth the time to watch.  I sure hope it gets a second season.

The Dinosaur Scrapbook review- Special Edition!

 

OK, so we had some tech issues with ClipChamp yesterday, and I had to redo the episode.  The only audio I changed was the end bit, though.  However today I was able to create the original version.  This has become a special edition which will be viewable on Patreon.com some time in the near future.  It will be the first time I put a price on it, though, which is kind of exciting and scary to me.  It will be a test, only a test, at this time.

928. The delightful Dinosaur Scrapbook review!

Aside from the tech stuff that happened (we lost some trailers, alas) this is a fun book!

Villain of the Week- Metallus

From The Villains.Fandom Wiki- Metallus first appeared in the 1960s Space Ghost series. There he appeared as a galactic space conqueror who had an armada of killer robots and missiles ready to invade a nearby planet, but was thwarted. In another episode, Space Ghost's pet monkey, Blip, removed Metallus' head to find that there was nothing underneath. He later joined the Council of Doom to help destroy Space Ghost, but ultimately failed.  Back to me:

927. The clear Captain America of 1979 review!

This is a decent movie, cursed with having to be an origin story.  It could have been better.

The Smithereens - "Behind The Wall Of Sleep" - Saturday Live (21-03-1987)

I liked this band in the 80s, but in the last 15 years that has turned to love.  What a great band!

926. The super Sym-Bionic Titan 05-08 review!

In which X7 reviews four more episodes of Sym-Bionic Titan, and they are all pretty darn good, even if one features racing. Will we see that car again? Place yer bets and let's roll!

Calvin and Hobbes Monday 03-06-1986

I did rig some "traps" on occasion, but mostly it was a large rubber spider that would fall onto someone opening the door.

A Legend of Dinosaurs and Monster Birds 1977

Well, I am going to review this movie in the near future.  I sure love this poster.  I have an odd relationship with this film, I'll tell you what.  Some people love it.  Spoiler:

925. The invincible Invisible Agent review!

This is an early superhero movie that doesn't get recognized as such.

924. The sweet 1776 review!

Released in 1972, this movie is still pertinent today.  Perhaps even more so.

X Rider!

I love this artwork for the interstitials between the commercials.

923. Mazinger Z, Devilman, and Great Mazinger, oh my! review!

These are two fun if very non-canonical movies from the mind of Go Nagai.

Invisible Agent Official Trailer

Here's the trailer again, since Sven is airing it tomorrow night.

922. The sad Spider Noir 05-06 review!

The review isn't sad, it's Ben Reilly who is sad.  Watch and find out why!

Spy Quest title card

If you think I don't love this title card, well, you gotta another think coming!

921. The fond Flash 100 Page Super Spectacular 22 review!

Yes, another comic book review!  This time it is one from 1973, which was a pretty influential year for your young agent.

Villain of the Week- Dr. Zin

Dr. Archimedes Zin (yes, he does have several first names, but I do like the Future Quest version best) is the only recurring villain from the original Jonny Quest series.  He is also an expert in the realm of science, and has some kind of agenda of his own.

920. The leafy Little Shop of Horrors (1960) review!

Feed me!  Audrey, Jr never adds Seymour once in this movie, though.

919. The shiny Sym-Bionic Titan 01-04 review!

This is a show I wish I had caught first run, but I saw it soon enough after.

Yazoo- Nobody's Diary

I do like SOME synth-pop.  This duo is one of them.  Great hooks and a great voice.

Calvin and Hobbes Monday 03-05-1986

His parents left a six year old alone in the house for a couple hours.  What could go wrong?

918. The gutsy Godzilla vs. Gigan review!

I really wanted to love this movie when it hit the kiddie matinees back in the late 70s.

1776 poster

Here's another poster from this 1972 musical.  I reviewed it on Spotify about two years and 700 episodes ago, so I am going to redo it this week.  Guess what day?  Probably not the exact day, though.  I haven't watched it since the last time, almost two years ago, so it will be fun.  And I have thoughts about the whole thing all over again!  This is a long movie, but I doubt it will take two parts to do.  Though I very well might!

917. The wily Wolfguy review 1974!

I really had high hopes for a karate-werewolf movie, and I got this.

Sym-Bionic Titan 2010

I have talked about show some fourteen years ago, and haven't seen it since then.  I like it a lot, and am hoping to enjoy it even more this time around.

916. The witty Wonderful World of Puss 'n Boots (1969) review!

This is a very fun and imaginative movie from 1969.

Destroy All Monsters TV spot

Sven is airing the Toho approved English dub of this tomorrow, and I have talked about it a lot.  I reckon I will talk about it more, still!

915. The spectacular Spider Noir 03-04 review!

This series is pretty great, and worthy of an eight episode arc.

The Little Shop of Horrors (1960)

I have not seen this original version for... a lot longer than I should have.  It is really funny!

914. The mighty Marvel Treasury Edition starring the Avengers review!

Here is the Holy Grail that I had in the mid-70s!  Somehow it never showed up in the local stores.

Villain of the Week- Ultron-7

Ultron, one of their most dangerous foes- (From Marvel Fandom):

When the Avengers, Fantastic Four and Inhumans prepared to celebrate the upcoming wedding of Quicksilver and Crystal, Maximus and an unnamed benefactor plotted to crash the wedding. Before the wedding could begin, the Alpha Primitives attacked the guests, and Crystal was captured by what appeared to be a revived Omega. However, it was soon revealed that it was not Omega, but a resurrected Ultron-7, who had come to get revenge against the Avengers.^[10]

During Ultron-7's attack on the heroes, it was revealed that following its last defeat at the hands of the Avengers, Ultron's head was recovered by Maximus, who helped rebuild him. With its tale of resurrection told, Ultron then unleashed a weapon that threatened to destroy the minds of everyone involved. However, this proved to be Ultron's undoing, as the weapon awakens young Franklin Richards from his coma, who used his powers to destroy the robot and save everyone.^[23] back to me:

913. The useful Ultraman Mebius and the Ultra Brothers review!

Yes, this is not the greatest of the Ultraman movies, but it is pretty fun overall.

Whale of a Tale- 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea

A nice bit of whimsey in a Disney?  Say it ain't so!

912. The Finale of Phantom 2040 32-35 review!

 In which X7 reviews the finale of Phantom 2040! These are the final four episodes of the series, and it ends as well as it can, since perhaps they thought a third season would be approved.

Calvin and Hobbes Monday 03-04-1986

Calvin's parents probably needed that laugh.  I wonder if he heard them.

911. The thrilling Time of Their Lives review!

This is such a fun movie, if a tiny bit padded out here and there.

Captain America DVD menu

I do not hate these movies, though I was a bit disappointed when they originally aired.

910. The semi-positive Stone (1974) review!

This movie made itself hard to like.  The fights are good, but...

Johnny Cypher poster

This is a Japanese piece of art starring Johnny Cypher with his Dimension Zero in full effect.  I wonder how that cartoon went over in Japan.  I like it a lot, but reviewing it might be a difficult task, since none of the episodes are connected.  Perhaps I do a series of these sort of series in the future.  I will ponder that a bit.

910. The brainy Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure review!

I am happy to report this movie is still quite funny, and even makes time-travel sense.

get ready for The TIme of Their Lives!

Sven is airing this movie tomorrow, and oddly enough, whilst the trailer is on here, I did not review it.

909. The amazing Spider Noir 01-02 review!

It is a rarity that I review something so new, but here it is!

Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure 1988 trailer

 I have very fond memories of the first two movies, so I sure hope the third one can show us what really happens!

907. The mosiacal Monsters Who's Who review!

I was eagerly awaiting this book, and was a bit disappointed in it back then.

Xenorama- now on Patreon!

I have been working on this for a while, but now it is truly up and running!  As of right now, all the episodes are free!

Villain of the Week- T.O. Morrow

From Wiki- 

Using his technological prowess and his immense inventing abilities, T. O. Morrow (full name: Thomas Oscar Morrow) created a special "television set" that would allow him to see a century into the future. He would examine many of the futuristic instruments and then replicate them for use in his present time. Morrow spent a lot of time trying to perfect a time machine that he could use, but he was unsuccessful. The majority of his inventions were used to commit various types of crimes. Morrow utilized one of the inventions that he stole from the future that would allow him to create duplicates of other people. He used this invention to successfully create duplicates of Green Lantern.^[3] Morrow did this because he was bored with how easy it was to commit crimes and he wanted to do something that would give both the Flash and Green Lantern a challenge. The three duplicate Green Lanterns each went off to different parts of the world to steal different items at the same time. They were easily stopped by the Flash's super-speed. Morrow was transported to Earth-Two and presumed dead.

Shortly after being defeated by the Flash and Green Lantern, Morrow created Red Tornado to infiltrate the Justice Society of America so that Morrow would be able to rob the 20th Century Museum.^[4] His television screen of the future showed that he would be defeated by the JSA unless he could infiltrate the group and cause them to be unable to defend the museum. Red Tornado was inadvertently successful in stopping the JSA. Morrow returned to Earth-One and attacked the JLA. He was able to defeat them by using his inventions and he then placed them all in stasis. Red Tornado was upset about Morrow's deception that caused him to defeat the JSA and followed him to Earth-One. Red Tornado freed the members of the JLA and captured Morrow. Back to me:

906. The astute Aztec Mummy review!

This is the first movie starring Popoca, The Aztec Mummy.  It is rather derivative of Universal's Mummy movies, just with a Mexican flair.

Big Pig- Breakaway 1988

I remember hearing this song and perhaps "Hungry Town" on KBCO when it was released.  It wasn't a huge hit in the US.  However...

905. The phantariffic Phantom 2040 28-31 review!

 

It is the penultimate episode review of this series!

Calvin and Hobbes Monday 03-03-1986

All I want to know is where were the first grade teachers? By 1986 bullying was a known thing, wasn't it?

904. The paleo-riffic Planet of Dinosaurs review!

I so wanted to love this movie.  Sci-fi and dinosaurs?  It couldn't miss.

Spider Noir 2026

903. The honest Heroic Trio review!

Yep, a review for a movie from 1993!  What a show it is!

Planet of Dinosaurs... sorta

 I wish the movie was this exciting.

902. the sonic 7 Rockabilly Song Friday!

This one was a lot of fun to do, and the research was fascinating as well.

Planet of Dinosaurs trailer

There are a lot of faux trailers out there for this movie.  Some are so well done it is hard to tell if they are from 1977.

901. The sizzling Square Pegs 17-20 review!

A fine, if far too early, end to this series.

Android Kikaider the Animation.

This is all.
 

900. The magical My Beloved Brontosaurus review!

In which X7 reviews Riley Black's fun book, My Beloved Brontosaurus!

The Heroic Trio, starring:

 

Had ANYONE told me that Michelle Yeoh would get an Academy Award in 1993, I would still be laughing.

Villain of the Week- The Grim Reaper

From Wiki- Eric Williams debuted in The Avengers #52 May (1968), created by Roy Thomas and John Buscema.^[8] He appeared in the 1982 Vision and the Scarlet Witch series,^[9] and the 1985 Web of Spider-Man series. 

Eric Williams, the brother of Simon Williams, was born in Paterson, New Jersey. He was constantly neglected by his parents, who gave all of their attention to Simon and failed to curb his violent tendencies. Eric eventually becomes a thief and member of the Maggia and moves to Las Vegas, while Simon takes over the family business, Williams Innovations.

After his company is faced with bankruptcy, partly due to competition with Stark Industries, Simon works with Eric and Heinrich Zemo to get revenge and is transformed into Wonder Man. Simon later sacrifices himself to save the Avengers, and Eric becomes the Grim Reaper out of grief.^[15][16]

In his next appearance, the Grim Reaper confronts the Avengers with his original Lethal Legion, composed of the Living Laser, Power Man, Man-Ape, and the Swordsman. He later learns that the Vision was implanted with Simon's brain waves and refuses to harm him, leading to his defeat.^[17]  Back to me:
