Another month, another fire-powered villain, and a twin brother: Flamesplasher I and Flamesplasher II! Nice job with the original code-names, guys, especially since the second one sprayed water. They're the super-villain team that battles themselves! And say, about those names...was the codename "Heat Wave" already taken? Yes. Yes it was. Luckily for us, the Nazi-punchin' team from Earth-X known as The Freedom Fighters made the journey all the way from defunct, bought-out Quality Comics (Hey! Where's The Spirit?) to battle this mercury-risin' villain...and his slightly-damp twin bro.


Say, JLA Sinclair ZX-81 Computer, how's those year-long calculations comin' along? Did me filling in this months squares give us any better an idea who the Ultimate Head-Guy Super-Mastermind is? I bet it's Condiment King. It's always Condiment King.


Oh hey! It's Stevie Wonder!
