S2 Ep50: Superman's Bizarre Powers - 4-Panel Vol. 2, Issue 50

Author: The Geek Show September 24, 2019 Duration: 58:36
Sometimes you don’t have to look far to see just how weird comics can get, and in this episode we’re looking no further than Superman, who probably has the strangest collection of powers and abilities of any character in comics. Now relatively speaking, flight, super-strength, super-speed, heat vision, X-ray vision, cold breath and invulnerability are pretty normal for a superhero, so what we’re talking about is the really odd stuff. 
 
Get ready for super ventriloquism, super hypnotism, super phasing through solid objects, super shape-shifting, super memory wiping kisses, super throwing symbols, super telepathy, super telekinetic vision, super imagination, and more -  and those aren’t even the weirdest powers! 
 
After that cavalcade of strangeness, it’s time for our regular look at the things we’ve been reading, which this week are Age of X-Man: The Amazing Nightcrawler, Star Wars: Age of Rebellion - Heroes, The Ice Wanderer and Other Stories by Jiro Taniguchi, and X-Men: Grand Design - X-Tinction.

Dive deep into the vibrant, inky world of graphic storytelling with 4-Panel | Comics & Manga. Hosted by the crew from The Geek Show, this podcast feels less like a formal review and more like hanging out at your local comic shop, eavesdropping on the most passionate, knowledgeable, and slightly chaotic conversation in the corner. Each episode is a journey through the panels, where the latest superhero movie news might spark a deep dive into its obscure source material, or a review of a classic manga can derail into a hilarious debate about the weirdest trends in sequential art. You’ll hear genuine reactions to the most exciting and baffling news from both Western comics and Japanese manga, alongside unfiltered reviews that celebrate masterpieces and lovingly roast the odd misfire. The charm of this show lies in its authentic, meandering energy-the hosts get genuinely excited and distracted, following tangents that often lead to the best insights. It’s a celebration of the entire culture, from big-screen adaptations to the indie zine you’ve never heard of. Tune in for a weekly dose of enthusiasm that reminds you why you fell in love with these stories in the first place.
