This Post May Give You The Munchies

Yes, yes, it's picking low-hanging fruit to snarkily note drug references in innocent 1960s comic books.

But sometimes the fruit is SO low-hanging, you just have to.

Most people forget that in the T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents, there was a group of normal, non-super-powered agents who did a lot of the grunt work: The T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Squad!!

And one of the squad members was William "Weed" Wylie. A seedy type with some questionable activities in his background, Wylie was the team's locksmith/escape artist. And he kind of resented of the attention and perks (and girls!) the super-powered agents received.

So he was easy prey when an evil hypnotist convinced him that he actually had super powers (in an insanely convoluted plot to capture the T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents). And thinking he was fully powered led to...

Yes, now he is Wonder Weed.

Really. No snickering allowed.

The effect of that name is only enhanced by the fact that he keeps that scraggly little "cigarette" in his mouth at all times:

And of course, Wonder Weed taught us the futility of the War On Drugs a full 45 years ago:

No, guns cannot stop Wonder Weed!!

Nick Spenser, if you're reading this, you really really really need to bring back Wonder Weed!!
