It's the second part of our dive into the world of Supergirl and, this week Colin and Nick take a look at the comic that's the inspiration behind the film, Supergirl: Woman Of Tomorrow as well as chatting about the nearest Marvel equivalents (sort of) to Supergirl:- Cammi, America Chavez and Darkstar. They'll be asking the important questions like why is Marvel so obsessed with just "dark" as a power?

It's part one of a two spectacular as Colin and Nick dive into the world of the many (and slightly confusing) versions of Supergirl in honour of the new film being released. Why is one of them a ball of pink protoplasm? Is it icky that she starts dating a parallel universe version of her "father"? And who has enough lead to coat an asteroid knocking around in their shed?

As well as the superchat, Colin and Nick chat about what they've been reading recently, namely classic Hellblazer and New 52 Animal Man.

As always, an extended version of this episode is available on Patreon with bonus Masters Of The Universe and pocket universe (unrelated) chat - link below

Come back next week for part 2

Colin and Nick are back once again with the nerd behaviour to chat about season 1 of Daredevil: Born Again (but only because Nick hasn't watched season 2 yet) and take a look at some of his weirdest villains. What is Gladiator's business model? Why does Mister Fear want to bring waxworks to life? And has no one thought of pushing both of Stilt Man's legs at the same time to make him fall over?

Away from the world of Marvel, the chaps have been immersing themselves in some classic 90s Bat action, namely Nightwing and Alan Grant's Shadow Of The Bat

Join Colin Hoult and Nick Kirk as they take a deep dive into the villains of Spider-Noir - we're talking Black Cat, Electro, Sandman, Molten Man and Silvermane - and tackle the important questions:- is that Black Cat's real hair? Does sand really work like that? And by "molten", do they really mean "just a bit greasy"?

We'll also be taking at a look at the new DC Absolute universe, specifically Batman and asking is he just too hench?

BOOMERANG, SCORPION, TARANTULA, TOMBSTONE

We've got an incoming MCU film on the horizon so Colin and Nick are taking a look at the villains of SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY and asking the important questions:- what is Scorpion's tail supposed to be? Why does Boomerang's original suit not have any boomerangs on it? And is Tarantula's power just having really really pointy shoes?

(NB - We'll be taking a little break over Easter and will be back in April with new episodes!)

BATROC, WHIRLWIND, LIVING LASER, ZARAN, MACHETE

Bonjour, mes amis! Join your jovial hosts Colin and Nick as they take a look at one of the few Marvel characters who has his own brigade - yes, it's the probably racially-insensitively named Batroc The Leaper (a man skilled in the noble French art of feet boxing). Who are the rest of his brigade? Are they supervillains to be taken seriously? And are any of them actually any good? These questions and fewer might be answered in this week's episode....

It's a slightly different episode this week as Nick goes solo to take a little sidestep away from the list to look at the Transformers and ask the question we've all been asking:- are the Transformers part of the Marvel universe? (Normal list-based service will resume next week...)
