4. Composite Superman

For how simple this character looks, his explanation is SHOCKINGLY complicated, so buckle up ‘cause here we go.

Joe Meach was a wannabe famous person who could never quite get there. One day, he got a job as caretaker of the Superman Museum. Then, on a dark and stormy night, he was struck by lightning while at work, and gained all the superpowers of…the Legion of Superheroes.

What, did you think I was gonna say, Superman and Batman? No, that would make TOO much sense. Meach decided he wanted to humiliate Superman and Batman for some reason I can’t quite figure out, and he made himself a half-Superman half-Batman costume.

Let’s be honest here, the writer clearly STARTED with the visual design, and then asked himself, “How can I make this guy’s origin as convoluted as physically possible?”
