    Alpha One may be the most powerful being on the face of the planet, but emotionally, he’s vulnerable – and he needs a friend he can trust.

And what amazing secrets are hidden in Alpha One’s underground headquarters?

    Stretch ‘em out and they’ll always return to their natural shape, that is unless you stretch the stuff too far thus breaking its point of elasticity. This week, we return to the battle of the big two, this time with Mr. Fantastic from the Fantastic Four, taking on the Elongated Man from the Justice League. Who wins the battle of the stretch, and who winds up a puddle of goo in the middle of the ring?

    A) Mr. Fantastic

    B) Elongated Man

      First of, great podcast as always!
      I didn’t know that at one point Dr Light was this big villain who almost beat the League, it does explain why in Teen Titans 21-22-23 it takes all of the Teen Titans past and present + reserves to stop him after he regains his memory.

      I read “I Can’t Believe it’s not the Justive League” and “Formerly Known as The Justive League” years after “Identity Crisis” it made any re-read of Identity that much sadder to see Ralph and Sue all happy and carefree…

      Ok, so I listen to the podcast during my weekly drives to and from my gaming habit…

      …And I had to pull over on the highway because I was laughing so hard!

      …

      but for the life of me I can’t remember where it was…. other than sometime before the talk about Identity Crisis…
