Ep. 16 – “The Ballad of Freddie Plastic” OR “You Say to Hero, I say Tomorrow”

SUPER HERO? OR SUPER MENACE?

When a clueless security guard is caught in a nuclear meltdown at the plastics factory, Mike and Oppenheimer witness the birth of a powerful new superhuman — but will mild-mannered Freddie Plasington choose to be a hero …or villain? And just who is pulling Freddie’s strings?

Plus, the gang in the Hadron Bunker attempts to answer the age old question: Marvel? Or DC? (Answer: The suburbs are weird.)
