Fan of Bronze: Zodiac--Super Villains or Guys in Costumes?
In The Avengers #120-123, our heroes took on the crime cartel known as Zodiac, based on the constellations. Now only two of these guys had super powers and they had some advanced weapondry from somewhere. But I vividly recall how seven of them, and n

Fan of Bronze: Plastic Man and Blackhawk--A Theory
In comments that I have made here and in Mister Silver Age's forum (may it rise again), I have asserted that the DC Multiverse (Pre-Crisis) had contained several versions of Plastic Man and, by extension, Blackhawk. But then I started thinking down a
