How powerful is
Superboy?
So powerful that he doesn't even have to
get off his butt to save a plane!!
Clark and the
Kents are flying to
Coast City to visit relatives...and of course, Clark has to play up the "
timid passenger" bit...
Ah, but sitting
next to Clark? Now
there's a guy who is not scared to fly!!
Wait a minute..."
Harold"? Going to Coast City?
Wearing a leisure suit??? Oh, man that's not
Hal Jordan, is it?
Yes, it is.
Of course, on the way disaster strikes:
Well, it's just as well that Jordan isn't
Green Lantern yet--a
yellow plane hit by
yellow lightning?!? Nothing he could do.
Still, he's
not scared...
But it's going to be up to Superboy to save their bacon!
But
how?!?
"
Super-Force"?!?! What the hell?!? He's somehow carrying the entire airplane--by one seat?!?
I guess he is!!
Afterwards...
Man, even when he was a kid, I wanted to slug Hal...
OK, from now, on, let's everyone call him
Harold Jordan. That'll probably tick him off...

"...Wearing a leisure suit???"
ReplyDeleteThat's not a "leisure suit".
A leisure suit has a shirt-style jacket.

That was just a typical 70s wide-lapel business suit.
Oh Hal. It's a good thing you are so pretty, because most people just want to slap you.
ReplyDeleteI am impressed by Clark's magic buttocks however.
Geoff Johns actually made a joke out of that once, if I remember right. Hal's dad introduces him to a guard at the Air Force base as "Harold" and from then on the guard calls him "Harold" or even "little Harold" every time he sees him...for the next twenty years.
ReplyDeleteUsually causing the person accompanying Hal to convulse with silent giggles and mouth "Harold?" as if it's the dumbest thing they ever heard.
