gurgle hiss glurp

Up from the depths...

...seven stories high...

...puking toxic waste...

...pointy head in the sky...

CHEMO!

CHEMO!

CHEMO!

...and Chemzookies?

Dead Kennedys - Chemical Warfare (from Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables, 1980)

Blur - Chemical World (from Modern Life Is Rubbish, 1993)

The Chemical Brothers - Chemical Beats (from Exit Planet Dust, 1995)

(Confused? Bewildered? Perhaps this will explain things.)

Why thank you, sir jorge!

A.J.: The Metal Men are still chugging along. Their creator, Doc Magnus, played a major role in DC's 52, and they're currently starring in their own limited series, with a new female member, Copper, added to the mix.

I would just like to take a moment to say that you guys (meaning AJ and bitterandrew) are dorks. Don't mean that as an insult, I'm just saying. :-) Diggin the post and the songs. Chemo seems a bit out there for a super villain. Way to go, bad scientist.

Dear Ramsey Norton,

There's a reason the labels say not to mix cleaning products. Chemical by-products from failed experiments? Yeah that's way worse, kay thanks.

Sincerely,

M

Hey, hey, hey! We're all dorks (though I prefer "geeks" or "nerds") about something.

HA! Great post! I always love how Chemo is used to fill up the background space in any supervillain group shot.
