![]() We’ve been promised Thanagarians for a long time on this show, and I think we’re due for some kind of Hawkman appearance. ![]() – One of the weapons Lobo uses to threaten Seg and Adam appears to be the kind of mace usually favored by Hawkman. Read our review of “Ghost in the Fire” right here. Krypton Season 2 Episode 2: Ghost in the Fire Fans have also pointed out the similarities to Rob Zombie, who in turn was inspired by Kiss. ![]() Syfy is betting big on the Main Man, as they’ve already commissioned a Lobo spinoff TV series.Īmusingly, Adam asks Lobo if “the rest of the Kiss Army” are on the way, which is downright hilarious. The character you’re seeing on screen here is a perfect distillation of everything that made Lobo such a sensation when he reached his peak popularity, from dropping trademark phrases like referring to himself as “the Main Man” or his go-to expletive of “frag” (not to be confused with “frak”). ![]() We have a much more detailed history of Lobo right here. Initially a somewhat throwaway baddie, Lobo grew to prominence in the pages of Giffen and JM DeMatteis’ brilliant Justice League International, before evolving into a full-blown (and beloved) parody of everything that was wrong with comics in the late ’80s and early ’90s. – Lobo is here! The character was created by Roger Silfer, Keith Giffen, and Mike DeCarlo in the pages of Omega Men #3 way the hell back in 1983. – Adam Strange has taken to a more colorful wardrobe this season, including a red hoodie (which prompts Seg, later in the episode, to point out that “red’s your color!”) Indeed it is, as that’s the dominant color on Adam’s costume from the comics. While Krypton isn’t in continuity with Man of Steel or the DCEU, it’s still a pretty cool connection. – The speech that Zod delivers opens with “my fellow Kryptonians” and references “Kryptonian exceptionalism” as he justifies his imperialistic plan for Krypton…just in case you had any doubt about where this show views the kind of rationalizations that charismatic leaders offer for imperialistic adventuring throughout history.Īnd just to keep the focus on Zod for a moment, his plan to terraform other planets is reminiscent of his plan in Man of Steel, which itself referred to the imperialistic Kryptonian M.O. The fact that now everyone (since the Rankless appear to have been gentrified out of existence) are now prominently wearing their house sigils and have adopted more uniform dress is again reminiscent of Superman: The Movie. The more colorful garb that Kryptonians have adopted in the wake of Zod’s “make Krypton great again” campaign is more reminiscent of how the planet was depicted until roughly the 1980s in the comics (and then again more recently). And while there were similar wardrobe choices in season one, it’s always worth pointing out how this show pays tribute to that movie at every chance it gets. – The ceremonial robes Zod is wearing at the start of the episode as he gives his address feel slightly reminiscent of Jor-El’s “jailer” robes in Superman: The Movie. Retail price is $29.99 with a ship date of August 2023.– Before we start on this episode, it should be noted that there has been a six month timejump since the season one finale. Wave 1 is live now featuring Superman ( Action Comics #1), Green Lantern Alan Scott, and Abyss (Modern Batman Villain). While not specifically mentioned, looks like some additional attention and quantity of paint is present. ![]() Fully articulated, each limited edition figure is showcased in premium window box packaging.
