    5) HERCULES (but not the Son Of Zeus)


    Another Quality Comics hero, Joe Hercules’ powers aren’t of divine nature, but instead natural.  Interestingly, he is inspired to take on his costume (such as it is) by reading the comic book adventures of Doll Man, another Quality Comics hero.  A well-drawn strip during its short run (just 21 issues of Hit Comics), his trunks, belt, half-cape and pointed slippers really aren’t that much more autre than dressing up as a bat, but man, it’s tough to remember that fact while looking right at him.

    At least he’d be easy to cosplay…

    Once upon a time, there was a young nerd from the Midwest, who loved Matter-Eater Lad and the McKenzie Brothers... If pop culture were a maze, Matthew would be the Minotaur at its center. Were it a mall, he'd be the Food Court. Were it a parking lot, he’d be the distant Cart Corral where the weird kids gather to smoke, but that’s not important right now... Matthew enjoys body surfing (so long as the bodies are fresh), writing in the third person, and dark-eyed women. Amongst his weaponry are such diverse elements as: Fear! Surprise! Ruthless efficiency! An almost fanatical devotion to pop culture! And a nice red uniform.
