When his lady-friend Silvia was stolen and pulled into Movieland, Joe follows, becoming a movie superhero in the most literal sense, as he actually LIVES in a movie! With a giant robit and Sentai-inspired powers, Joe has what may be the best catchphrase in superherodom: “Henshin-a-go-go, baby!”
I’m not quite sure what it means, but I know it’s cool and that’s what matters.
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.

Wasn’t Crossfire from DNAgents land (Eclipse Comics) a Hollywood guy? Also the Fly from Marvel — a stuntman? Not sure about that one.
Crossfire was a bail bondsman in L.A., so tangentially Hollywood…
“Human Fly”, sorry.

Thanks for the lists! Always fun
The Human Fly was a fave-rave of mine, based loosely on a real-life stuntman, so his absence here is entirely one of “only ten spaces.” :)
I would have included Animal Man and Blue Devil on the list. Both of them are stunt/special effects guys.
Ooh, Blue Devil is an excellent call!
