Once upon a time, Captain Atom’s boss General Wade Eiling was transformed into a clone of The Shaggy Man called “The General,” in which he had tusks, super-strength and sold car insurance on the internet. (Only one of those is false.) Still, his monstrous form is nothing compared to Bruce Banner’s giant green alter-ego, who in turn pales before George Tarleton’s swollen dome as MODOK, who is just about as weird as Arnim Zola, who has *no head at all*! It all gets complicated, but questions of whether The Brain (disembodied organ in a jar) has it worse than Whistle Pig, whose body is a walking totem pole are the very meat-and-potatoes of comic book fandom. In a medium where a giant alien with antlers who wears purple armored shorts has a naked, spear-bald herald on a surfboard and nobody comments on it, there’s a lot of comic book weirdos about, which leads us to today’s freaky-deaky query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) has a great fondness for the issue where Hawkman and Flash were scrambled by the JLA transporter into horrific giant compound monsters, asking: Who’s the WEIRDEST of the weird pop culture/comic book weirdos?
