i was a fan when i was a little kid, only just now making the zardoz reference. everything comes back to zardoz, doesn't it?

Does Vartox toss rifles in from off-camera too? ;)

I did a Vartox skin a while back when I was on a "forgotten Superman villains" kick... should be in one of my Yahoo groups.

The one on the right is MicroWave (or something similar....I have/had that issue). Not sure about the one in the middle.

The one in the middle is Masterman (actually Perry White, after being taken over by an alien creature), and on the right is Microwave Man.

Hah, it was only because of JK's skin that I even knew who Vartox was in the first place!

*mumbles something about "young'uns", while remembering that he still has the issue with Vartox's first appearance* <_<
