This week we return to everyone's favorite hotheaded king of hell, but with a twist. Similar to Moon Knight, Ghost Rider is a mantle found throughout history; so naturally it gets really weird at some points. Sibling rivalry, dead alien races, ghost babies, and is that a gorilla?? There have been plenty of odd characters covered on this podcast, but the many mantles of ghost rider might just take...

Welcome back to Forgotten Heroes, while this episode in particular will definitely not be forgotten since it's just about as chaotic as it's character focus.

However Zack and Chris felt he was too good not to talk about. From dead b...

You could study all you want but you'd never get as smart as the topic for this episode! Mr. Terrific is not exactly a household name and that's surprising considering that this hero is described as having a natural aptitude for having natural aptitudes...yeah.

Space amulets and bird analogies are frequent in this episode of Forgott...

Of all the bug related heroes in DC and Marvel a beetle has managed to make its way to the limelight in the past couple years. So Zack and Chris decided to discuss the one and only blue beetle.

The real question of this episode is, can Chris really explain a convoluted backstory better that prono...
