We shine a light on the Batman wannabees, the just-not-enough justice leagues, and set front stage those who weren't given the opportunity to shine. We're the champions of the forgotten, the unimpressive, the not so supers. Music by Joma.
In this week’s episode of Not So Super! we hang out with a couple of duds that even by subpar villain standards are pretty terrible. Ah, wonderful. Can’t wait for you to laugh with us.

The Celluloid Piper meets a Bumbling Burglar
The second episode of the second season finds us hanging out with a vaudevillian pied piper and Robin Hood’s dumb cousin. One’s the most successful supervillain we’ve ever seen and the other makes you wonder if he was dropped on his head as a baby. Tune in and share our joy for jingles and villains.

A Dime Store Poet meets an Exotic Dancer
We’re back with Season 2 of Not So Super! This season we’re tackling underwhelming supervillains. The not quite Catwomens and almost Magnetos. They’re not so smart and not so successful in their villainy, but you gotta love their gumption.

A Starlet Spy meets a Future Historian
In this episode of Not So Super!, we’re bringing you a bonus episode. We couldn’t say away for long it seems, so here’s a little something to tide you over. We had the chance to pick a character from any decade we covered this season and because our minds are pretty well synced we ended up in the 40s. We hope you enjoy this little treat and we’ll see you soon!

A Torch-y singer meets a dog Wonder
In this episode of Not So Super!, we’re closing out our season where we started in the 30’s where we came across a canary that’s making tracks, and pupper that’ll blow your wig.

Eve meets Atom
In this episode of Not So Super!, we hit the 1960s and discuss a couple of zeroes who actually managed to make their way to present day comics. Our subpars in this episode seem to hover on the cusp of hero status, but just can’t seem to catch the right wave. Ironically, they do end up dating, so maybe there’s hope for some super progeny.
