The Superhero Revival Project: Recent Episodes
Jay
Have you ever heard of the superhero Dr. Hormone? How about the Vagabond Prince, or Spider Widow?
These are all real comic book characters that were created almost a century ago, and it is the solemn duty of the Superhero Revival Project to examine their history and try to figure out some way to drag these obscure heroes into the present.
Kick back, relax, and join in for some light-hearted roasting of old comic book conventions, semi-serious pondering about how to adapt such weird characters into the modern day, and a genuine fondness for the potential hidden in every single story.
In this episode, a woman goes from villain to love interest and back again, and Jay regretfully decides to talk about straight people during pride.
