Lenny's life changed forever the night he decided to sit down and watch way too many kung fu movies than can possibly be healthy. not only did the accumulated chop-sockey know-how of those ovies become embedded in his mind, making him a master of martial arts, but the radioactive emissions from his TV rendered his foot like unto a thing of Iron. naturally, lenny decided to use these powers to fight crime, and alongside his best friend Carl, Aka Nuclear Power man, they are The Heroes For Rent!

A Simpsons Send-up of Swamp-Thing, Squish Thing was born from Homer's attempts to successfully combine beer with Lime Squishy. the predictable of course occurred, and in the explosion Homer fell into what was left of the family pool, where the combination of chlorinated water, past experments and who knows what else turned Homer into the Syrup-saturated mockery of a man you see before you

In the far off place of Earthland Realms, there lived a brutal tyrant known only as the Shadow-knight, who ravaged and pillaged the realms as he pleased. Ironicly, his reign of terror was not ended by brave heros, but through the indirect action of a passing stranger, which eventually led to an uprising of the citizenry and the Shadow-knight's disembowlment. The peasants rejoicd, but it was cut short when the Shadow-Mom appeared. None else but the mother of the late dread lord, The Shadow-Mom, also called Marge, has descended upon the Reallms to wreak cold, terrible, and bloody vengeance upon the slayers of Bart.

with bart, homer and lisa getting writeups, I felt it only fair to give Marge a suitable persona, especially once i saw the ending of a particular episode. What can I say, the idea of Marge as a supervillain just feels... right.

[Ares]

What episode did the Shadow-Mom appear in?

[Kreuzritter]

that would be the closing image from "Marge Gamer", an episode from april wherein Marge gets email, and joins the MMORPG "Everland Realms". marge's new character is never named, but i figure she'd take "Shadow-Mom" to let her victims know why she's about to use their heads like a hackey sack (as demonstrated with what's left of Moe).

the whole sequence is presently up on youtube, btw. i actually only stumbled upon it when I was trying to find a good screencap f Knightboat (the crime solving boat).

similarly, kicking moe's head around is the only thing the Shadow-Mom is seen doing, but with the similarities to bart's character, i figured she'd get all of Shadow-Knight's abilities.

and I gotta say, after 2 days of simpson writeups, i really wanna see them in action.

any takers? surely there's somebody who wants to try running the Heros For Rent?

Excellent job with the conversions, keep up the good work. I think Hypno Hea deserves some ranks in disguise, seeing as how he passed himself off as the phone reverend even in front of Radioactive Man and Bleeding Heart.

[Kreuzritter]

thanks. i'd been working almost exclusively from the info provided by the super-simpsons handbook, which didn't include such info, which is why it'll be some time before ou see writeups for lure lass or plasmo the mystic

anyway, we're coming down to the end, so here's a quick recap of whom to expect

Dr. Crab
Radioactive Spider
Weasel Woman
Black Partridge
Stretch Dude
Clobber Girl
Plasmo the Mystic
Weasel Woman
Mr. Horrible Gelatinous Blob

after that, i think i'll be taking a well-deserved break from what few simpsons related supers are left, in order to get back to some of my other converts, lke the Huntsman, Metalhead, Kangaroo Commando and Eye of Newt
