We talk about the cacophony of insane villains, Namor’s intellectual competency, and that wonderful superhero pose. For more information on past or future shows, visit www.AtomicPoweredSuperCast.com!

We wrap up our sidekick series with an open discussion on the role and function of sidekicks in comics. Are they necessary anymore? Why were they around in the first place?

We start a new arc, “Sidekicks Movin’ Up,” by reading “Incredible Hercules: The New Prince of Power” by Greg Pak and Fred Van Lente. After Hercules’ apparent death, the Gods elect Amadeus Cho to be the new Prince of Power and head up the Olympus Group. There’s just one problem: Amadeus Cho doesn’t believe any of it. We take some time to talk about the definition of “sidekick,” Cho’s state of denial, and the ever-important art of pacing. For more info on past or future shows, visit www.AtomicPoweredSuperCast.com!
