One of the most frequently reused plots of the Silver Age Superfamily titles was "supporting cast character temporarily gains superpowers, causing problems for the hero." Jimmy Olsen and Lois Lane were the most common targets of this, but everyone got into the act, including some long-forgotten characters like the one we'll look at today.

If you're one of those fans who doesn't like Storm to be the most awesome at absolutely everything, this isn't your book.

But we're here for the real star of the book! The Sensational Character Find of 1997! That's right, it's time for my boy Maggott to shine!

Marvel’s first family got their MCU debut. What did you think about it?

In my opinion it’s an upper-tier superhero film; the highlight was the retro-futuristic setting which made the film feel unique and timeless.
