It all started with his battling the Kryptonian Octopus. Then the warts. Then puberty hit. Acne everywhere. It was just so bad.

Red kryptonite?

It had nothing to do with Red Kryptonite or puberty. Here is a hint the Action Comic in question was Ambush Bug Starring in Action Comics but the first story was just Supes versus John Doe. Funny stuff in that story was Superman forgetting how to fly and Kent going why do I have this suit on under my clothes?

i dunno, mr mind....

OK here is another hint. Supes thought it was John Doe messing with his memory but it was not.

Was it caused by the writer taking massive amounts of drugs ???

That probably had something to do with it But what did they write? I will be gone for a couple days so am tempted to tell you.

Actualy their is a "Gentlemens Club" open this Sunday. I may not be able to respond over the next few days so here goes. Element X radation combined with Amnesaium radation caused the whole thing.Normaly Supes is immune to Amnesaium but he had just found Element X which made the alien element work on him. Currently reading Ambush Bug Year None so I dug out all my back issues of Giffens creation and found that story. I leave the thread open.

Let's get things rolling with an easier question.

In the cartoon The Batman, Victor Fries wasn't a scientist before becoming Mr. Freeze. What was he instead?

A thief. ..........

You're only saying that because on halloween night, you were accosted by a kid in a Mr Freeze costume, who then took your candy and fled, leaving you to your tears.

CuCr has it right. It was, indeed, a thief. Pretty big come-down for him.

Eh, that and being played by Arnold, really put a damper on his character.

Actually, I tried a few of those episodes of "The Batman", I just didn't care for it's take on any of the characters. And I missed Kevin Conroy's voice, I think.

I remember on first hearing Kevin Conroy as Batman's voice thinking he was trying too hard, or some such disappointment. Now I can't think of Batman sounding like anyone else.

--though, that may have something to do with Christian Bale's Bat-Boogeyman voice.
