When I was in Canada last week, I had the insane pleasure of experiencing Rocket Robin Hood. This is whole episode for your viewing pleasure.


Rocket Robin Hood lives on Sherwood Asteroid and is a thoroughly Canadian cartoon. I did a search and apparently a lot of Canadians are quite proud of their Rocket Robin Hood childhood roots. It's animation is some of the worst I have ever witnessed. It's like a scaled down version of Superfriends--which by the way I just watched a whole half-hour of, and I haven't laughed so hard in least a week (since I watched Rocket Robin Hood).


Speaking of Superfriends, I could have sworn that there were twins who had superpowers on the team. But maybe that was the Justice League. Anyway, there's this character called Firestorm is just so... ridiculously overpowered.


"Firestorm's principle power is the ability to perceive and rearrange the atomic structure of matter. He can also alter the density of objects, including his own body, even to render himself intangible. Firestorm can project bolts of nuclear energy, fly at great speeds, and absorb explosive force and radiation into his body harmlessly. However, if he directs his power against organic matter other than himself, he causes only an energy feedback that may harm him. Also, he can't project energy bolts while intangible." (You can read more on Firestorm here, but I think you get the gist.)


The episode I saw included the Mirror Master, a man who fights with a woman's compact. I kid you not. (To get an idea of what the dialog was like in the episode, read this snippet from a Green Lantern advertisement for Twinkies.) He beams light into the eyes of Samurai and Firestorm, thus rendering them incapacitated from the blindness, but later beams that same light at a rock, and starts a mini-avalanche. Oh, this same wonderous fighting compact was also used to trap Superman, Batman, Robin and Firestorm in the 6th dimension. Um. Is it the beam: light, kinetic energy, or a matter transporter? Oh who cares, the man is fighting with his wife's Cover Girl powerpuff compact of doom!


Please, do your belly a favor and read some of the explanations of Super Friends at Seanbaby.com. The one on Apache Chief is especially good.
