32. Clash of the Metal Men!

Guest Stars – Teaser: Aquaman; Episode: The Metal Men (Will Magnus, Iron, Lead, Platinum, Tin, Mercury, Gold)

Another superteam introduced to the universe, folks, and they are a weird one. I've always liked the Metal Men, and they're kinda perfect for exactly this show's aesthetic and tone. In the episode, a bunch of Will Magnus' former scientist friends, now turned into various gasses by a lab explosion, kidnap Magnus to help build them new bodies, so they can end the world. He builds them said new bodies, and they become The Gas Gang.

Meanwhile, The Metal Men contact Batman for help, and the group rushes off to save its creator. This episode has a lot of good moments, including some solid references to classic Metal Men comics. Notable among these are: Mercury explaining that he's the only metal that's a liquid at room temperature, Platinum just being straight-up thirsty for every human dude she meets, and the team going up against Chemo early on. It's not my favorite episode, but it's a damn good interpretation of the Metal Men.

Verdict: Good.
