(aka Evil Spock.) Guess that the look is just a popular badguy archtype of the times.

Especially one that makes you immediately slip into unconsciousness? It looks like some kind of W Vulcan Nerve Pinch, to go puroreso about it. And the Boris and Natasha and Moose and Squirrel jokes just write themselves! What the crap kind of sleeper is Canary applying there?

It looks like some kind of W Vulcan Nerve Pinch, to go puroreso about it.

And the Boris and Natasha and Moose and Squirrel jokes just write themselves!

If I remember correctly, Lobo gets told by some aliens in a bar that he's not hard enough to kick in Superman. Lobo takes offence, and heads off to Earth to prove them wrong. He bumps into Bibbo in a pub, the two of them have a drunken argument, then Lobo takes Bibbo along with him when he heads over to the Fortress of Solitude and batters Superman. I think Supes fakes his death or something to get out of it. Black Adam looks like some skinny, peevish janitor in his first appearance, quite a far cry from the regal super-hunk monarch he is today. Still, I like the sound of his debut, especially the idea of him being teleported so far away that it took him 5000 years to return, and the way that the Marvels took him down. I've also got a soft-spot for evil-twin type villains anyway. I think I’ve seen the story where Bibbo pals around with Lobo.
