“WHAT? I WAS KICKED!” is the best henchman dialogue of all time. Imagine playing a video game where all the incidental baddies talked like this.

Also making a cameo appearance this week: Psycho-Man! Remember this guy? Like Mr. Mind from Shazam!, he’s a tiny guy in a big suit. Unlike Mr. Mind, he is not a caterpillar but some kind of sub-atomic dude.
Psycho-Man’s whole deal was that he had three guns: one that made people Fear, one that made them Doubt, and one that made them Hate. Apparently, we don’t need him, we just need those.
Also, while I have you, remember when Marvel had the whole Fear Itself event and this happened?
Good times.
