Tales From The Quarter Bin--Destined For Greatness!!

Just a reminder...

...that at one point, DC thought the Floronic Man was such a potential goldmine...

That they gave him his own logo and trademark!

Because, you see, they were going to use him so often, and do toys and clothing and maxi-series and...

Floronic Man. The next big thing--guaranteed!!

Secret Origins #23 is from 1988
