Charles Darwin would be spinning in his grave if he knew his theory of evolution was being used to cook up such ridiculous comic book characters.

I also acknowledge the fundamental lameness of ME Lad in an article I wrote some time ago

So does he clog up the Legion’s toilets after a mission? I mean, sure, being able to eat a metal door is spiffy and all, but–it’s got to come out sometime….

Just as an aside, since you mentioned that Matter Eater Lad’s home planet is Bismoll, the capital city is actually named Pepto. Those LSH writers carried that joke as far as they could get away with for sure.

You obviously haven’t read the key M-E Lad stories. When Brainiac 5 went insane and tried to destroy the universe with the Miracle Machine (DC’s answer to a Cosmic Cube — previously thought to be indestructible), M-E Lad ATE the Miracle Machine and went INSANE for several YEARS! How’s that for heroic sacrific?! From his Wikipedia entry, he also ate through the handle of Persuader’s atomic axe, calmly devoured an ionosphere-eating monster, escaped a deathtrap “by devouring an entire silo full of grain,” and the piece de resistance (just imagine the right accent marks are there and in the correct places), “Matter-Eater Lad ultimately seduced and married former Legion villain Saturn Queen.” SEDUCED and MARRIED super-hot badness! And in the latest incarnations, he did it all with wisecrack, a smirk, and a swagger. He’s MATTER EATER LAD. He’s proud of it. He OWNS it. Pretty impresive, if you ask me.

He may have a lame superpower, but it’s the only one that I know of (that’s an actual super power) that a real live human being in OUR world has.

Look up “Michel Lotito” aka “Monsieur Mangetout.”
