Well, in all fairness, Ross, I think those shorts had something to do with the old Comics Code Authority. The Metal Men never had to wear the equivalent of them because they had built-in infertility. Whereas Triple F, being a male dragon fro outer space, presumably had reproductive organs roughly the size of Jupiter!
Hence, the modest-as-possible covering.
Stegron the Dinosaur man, a once-human anthropomorphic stegosaurus mutate(?), a later Marvel character was drawn as a naked creature (like most animals); also Fin Fang Foom's shorts (in Fin's position, at least) are not showing.
The above Anonymous echoed my thought: If you're going to make fun of his shorts, at least show them! :)
Also, I think I'd want the heroes listed first on a cover; here, it's the villain... unless, of course, it's a clue that FFF is the hero here, and the MM are the ones being needlessly antagonistic.
In all other respects, though, I think that this cover is wonderfully exciting!
As for the Metal Men, I never realized that they had a "Combine" ability like this. Well, Iron may be the leader, but in this case Gold is the head of the team! #BadPunNoCookie
That said, I'd love to see a live-action take on the Metal Men. Doing this quintet as Mocap/CGI characters might be too much budget for a TV show, especially since they'd probably be on DC Universe, but they might work on the big screen.
@Cary: The thing of that is, Fin Fang Foom is a dragon, which is usually thought of as a reptile. Thus, he'd have a cloaca, and thus be externally indistinguishable from females, at least in that regard.
@Bob actually Gold was their field commander as per Doc. I love the team's combining power into Alloy. This didn't come out until the 80s and I think the first time was in DCCP w/ Superman.
I still don't understand the name. He has fins. I presume (although we can't see them) that he has fangs.
What the frippin' frack is a foom? (I've read Stan's description of how he named the character. I'm just being silly.)
I thinkl the name "fin Fang Foom" is a Chinese language name (Fin Fang Foom).
I meant "Fin Fang Fum".
If this dragon entered the world of a certain magical beanstalk, we could get the line "Fee fi fo fum, Fin Fang Foom!"
@BG: I wasn't making fun of the shorts. I was praising their modesty-preserving practicality! Hermaphroditic cloaca or plain old gonads; my point is I wouldn't have wanted to see either one. Some stuff was--and still is--better left to the imagination.*
*Which is why I never became an avid collector of the Vertigo books from DC.
FOOM = Friends Of Old Marvel, it's a 70's Thang.
Why haven't they created an all Black Gender reversal of the Fantastic Four? We could Finally have MS Thang and she could date KANG & Krang (Marvel's Own Atlantean Blue Skinned Ming The Merciless Look Alike). Who want's to name the rest of the New Family Team: Tha Fo-Sho?
I gave him the "Knight" off.
Get it? Knights; dragons?
LOL!
I bet Jack Kirby's other memorable dragon-monster, Grogg, could beat the stuFFFing out of tall, green, and pyro-breathing.
Come on, Ross. Use Disney's giant and do Bob G's suggestion. "Fee fi fo fum, Fin Fang Foom!"
@ Anonymous: I prefer the classic Wood Woodpecker version of the old tale.
Giant: "Fee fi fo fum! I smell (sniff-sniff!)...I smell (sniff-sniff!)."
Woody: "You sure do, brother! And how!! Heh-heh-heh-heh-heh!!!"
Cary Comic Ha-Ha Wa-Hoo-Hoo HA-HA Wa Hoo Hoo, *Rapid Pecking Ensues*.
@Anonymous1107: Triple F's shorts are green to match his scaly epidermis
