ahhh...Malibu comics Ultraverse...shame Marvel will never touch that property...so many cool characters there. The show was good for the 90s, but so hilarious if you watch it now, clearly made just to sell comics issues and toys. haha. Sega CD game was....erm...it was :\ all I can say

Well, I didn't know about the existence of Superhero and for some reason it was well overlooked and at the same time it had a video game, although the SNES version remained as a prototype, but it is nothing out of this world, although it can be played at least.

The soundtrack for the Sega CD version of this game is outstanding, it's deserving of one playthrough at bare minimum.

IIRC it was composed by Tim Follin right when he was getting into composing for CD quality audio in favor of ditching chiptune composing.

Hmmm looks a lot like Nuclear Man, you know the clone in Superman 4...

This is one of my favorite comic books mostly for Norm Breyfogle’s art. I also love the story of a grossout, halfway edgy, halfway awkward take on Captain Marvel/Shazam.

That creature kinda looks like The Maxx...

Thats the point of prime (shazam too) .
But prime was more about the consequences of juvenility and inexperience combined with almost godlike powers that made this hero rather unsettling but somehow grounded how he was depicted . Maybe a bit boring or one-sided but still cool.

I would even say that prime had more potential than shazam but all down how it was written and how the slime could have more behind it instead turning kid into superman on alot of steroids .

But that reminds me to watch the Ultraverse cartoon . Always eyed it on youtube but never took the time . Gonna plan to watch it .

And I say that as someone who loves Captain Marvel/Shazam! too. Honestly though, compared to the rest of the Ultraverse crew, Prime is probably the least interesting to me. But then again, I grew up with the Glen A. Larson Night Man show (insert Always Sunny Joke here)

As much as I love the Malibu Ultraverse, Prime is probably the least interesting part of it. But also a very good mascot even if the backstory of making a more modern take on Captain Marvel/Shazam with a twist (boy in adult man's body shown being more than friends with girls his own age) is a bit creepy

Never heard of this one. I suppose I'll check it out someday.

 

[pandafresh]

oh shit i gotta check this out. i liked the cartoon as a kid and rewatching it as an adult, it has plenty of unintentionally hilarious moments.
