Now that Wundarr has "grown up;" now that the "baby-talk" Hulk is a thing of the past (although that seems to vary from day to day at Marvel); now that Bizarro doesn't seem to exist in the nu52; now that there is no Superbaby...
What I'm saying is, where are the big dumb strong heroes who talk like a comic book writer's fantasy of how children talk?
Well, friends, I have got an answer for you: Lu-Nar, the Moon-Man!!
Oh, and he's dumber than a bag of rocks:
He lives with a cabbie named Beansie, but somehow Beansie's common sense never helps make the situation better...
And...
Did I mention that Lu-Nar was strong?
So, since the 21st century clearly needs a baby-talkin' strong guy, well, I nominate Lu-Nar. Come on, DC or Marvel...make it happen!!
From Wonderworld Comics #32 (1941)

RE: "Comic books: warning us of the dangers of mixing beer and ice cream since 1941!!"
...You mean you've never had a nice, tall, cool, frothy vanilla ice cream beer *float*? I was introduced a long time ago, and still enjoy them as the occasion permits :D on that note, I would so enjoy a straight vanilla-flavoured beer, but haven't found any as of yet :P
I think Lu-Nar talks less like a baby and more like Tarzan in those old movies. It's hard to tell with the lousy art and all, but I think he's even supposed to look like Johnny Weissmuller (especially his hair round the back) dressed up in one of those futuristic outfits from the 1936 "Things To Come".
