Smallville - Hug

Superman Sunday takes us back to Smallville, Kansas, and the arrival of scumbag salesman Bob Rickman (Rick Peters), able to influence people through his Kryptonite-powered handshake, who comes to town to build a pesticide plant on the Kent farm and deal with his old friend (Gregory Sporleder) who could expose the secret of his persuasion. The B-story of the episode involves a horseback riding accident where Lana (Kristin Kreuk) is unsure whether the town hermit, Bob’s old friend Kyle, was responsible. This causes conflict between Clark (Tom Welling) who thinks the best of him (and sees a bit of himself in the man) and both Lana and Whitney (Eric Johnson) who get angry at Clark for not lying about what he actually saw to help the police to imprison a man Clark feels is innocent.

Superman #220

Superman Sunday takes us back to the Silver Age for an odd adventure beginning with both the Flash and Superman waking up in each others costumes and suffering from amnesia. As Flash/Superman takes a trip to Metropolis and goes to great lengths to disguise himself as Clark Kent and fit in at The Daily Planet through the use of a mask and wig, Superman/Flash heads for Central City and later towards Metropolis in search of Superman using less skilled disguise techniques. Oh, the Silver Age.

Spidey Saturday takes us back to the 90s. The second episode of Marvel’s Spider-Man begins to flesh-out the cast of supporting and recurring characters including Norman Osborne (Neil Ross), and his silent partner the Kingpin (Roscoe Lee Browne), who hire Spencer Smythe (Edward Mulhare) and his son Alistair (Maxwell Caulfield) to build him technology to kill Spider-Man (Christopher Daniel Barnes). First, we see the Spider Seekers capable of tracking Spider-Man, and later we see Smythe’s more deadly creation, the Black Widow, in action.

Spidey Super-Stories #50

Spidey Saturday takes us back to the early 80s and the time that Jennifer Walters defended the Rhino in court against Foggy Nelson (who had some excellent legal strategy by the way). Eventually the Rhino grows weary of court and escapes (while dropping puns) leading both Spider-Man and She-Hulk to track him down (although for awhile She-Hulk seems determined to protect her client before realizing she’s on the wrong side and teams-up with Spider-Man to end his rampage and return him to court).
