The cover of Superman #88, featuring "The Terrible Trio" - Lex Luthor, Toyman, and the Prankster! They decided to pool their resources and go after Superman as a team.
Clark defeated them back then, but maybe the Trio can break out of prison and get back together again. It would be interesting to see how the Supergirl Team would go about taking them down! :D

Here's the link to a detailed recounting of the plot of this classic issue of Superman:

http://www.supermanhomepage.com/comics/pre-crisis-reviews/pre-crisis-mmrs-intro.php?topic=c-review-pc-sup88

As you can see, Luthor almost succeeded that time with his synthetic kryptonite, which he always seemed to have plenty of!

"if anything like this happened on the show I'd want Supergirl to defeat them on her own also (with Alex, Winn, MM supporting her in the background)."

And also Maggie - because you would expect the NCPD to get involved in the case, too.


"BTW Stewart, have you seen Supergirl: The Silver Age Vol 1 book releasing in July?. "

No, I haven't! Thanks for the link :)


Here's another classic early Toyman cover, Superman comics #44

Thanks for that, excellent summary. I see Superman in that story used suction-breath, I assume this is what Supergirl used in S1 E10 'Childish Things' when she inhaled Toyman's poisonous gas.

"And also Maggie - because you would expect the NCPD to get involved in the case, too."

That's true, I just wish they would show more of Maggie's police work i/o her relationship with Alex.

Good question Stewart, how did Superman defeat them in this issue?. I assume he defeated them on his own so if anything like this happened on the show I'd want Supergirl to defeat them on her own also (with Alex, Winn, MM supporting her in the background).

We've had Toyman so far, Lex Luthor likely in this upcoming episode 12, maybe we'll see The Prankster next season, looks like a fun villain for our girl to face.

BTW Stewart, have you seen Supergirl: The Silver Age Vol 1 book releasing in July?.

Yes, it was! And of course, the poison gas didn't affect her :)

Me, too!
