Given how random becoming a speedster can be I wouldn't be surprised if eating one of those sweaty potatoes after microwaving it (because microwaves are science) was someone's speedster origin story.
how did you get your powers? "I was struck by lighting and covered in chemicals and I was in a coma for 9 months." "I was in a car accident involving lighting." *Potato man*
I like his Fat Flash was even brought up in the Justice League animated series, when they fought Grodd in season 1, and he made Flash lose his mind a bit by showing his greatest fear: Slowing down so much that he becomes incredibly obese.
Actually all of that was in place before Grodd even came around. That was during the little hiatus of superhero comics between the end of WWII and the start of the Silver Age. Mostly on sci-fi or weird horror comics they saw that, for some reason, talking gorillas were selling like hotcakes to the point where writers and artists were fighting over who could put an ape on the cover month to month.
Back then, they understood that there were heroes other than Batman and villains other than the Joker (who wasn't allowed to kill people and was just a generic thief with the gimmick that he was clown-themed). Actually, a lot of Silver Age baddies are thieves just because worse crimes were mostly forbidden by the Comics Code.
This was a pre Peta-era. . Same thing with robot violence nowadays. . Back then gorillas. . But evil gorillas. . This racism stands on a par with true racism and humans generic fear for other similar primates. Ie monke/Neanderthal. . I get that's not the point but as a not racist Human. I recognize the animal abuse in comics in the past. I'm not here to advocate.just to say racism and comic codes had their codes in this Era. . Once racism was connected. . We switched to making the enemy robots.
3:30 Grodd committing suicide to psychically escape prison is such a metal plan and should come back. I also love the idea of Grodd deciding to retire for a bit before realizing he just can't handle life without challenge.
So... what happened to the guy grodd replaced? Is he dead - did his consciousness get destroyed or, worse, was he put into the body of a dying gorilla? Seems like some horror aspects were ignored here.
Easy. Grodd offered him a path to become wealthy. Once he was in murder or false reality. . Once he's defeated.(didn't finish the video or read the comic) dead or regains control. . People assume murder but when u see an unsuspecting victim. It's easier to lock them away vs murdering them.
I want to see the time line were Grodd's mind goes into the fish and he builds himself a robot body with a fishbowl for a head. It'd be great if it was used as justification to do a crossover with Aquaman.
Yes, Love silver age covers! I have an issue of Jimmy Olsen I still haven't read because there is no way it lives up to the cover. Jimmy collecting Superman's tears. But seeing how close they come to outrageous covers could be a lot of fun. Please do more.
Mosquito Grodd would probably be the most dangerous foe the flash has ever faced. I've seen One Punch Man, I know how difficult they can be to hit, even with super speed
3:24 - Wait. Gorilla Grodd makes a pill for him to actually die and reincarnate into something else. With the chance of him coming back as some animal that should be functionally useless forever, but somehow he knows that it'll just be for some years. Its like he knows he'll get out again by making the pill again. That sounds like a plot for an anime or manhua (Chinese manga/comic) by itself!
Tbh, I'd read a Gorilla Grodd ongoing series where he uses this trick in the modern age only to end up repeatedly in bodies he doesn't want in random spots all over the world having to once again track down the materials that, while abundant in Gorilla City, are rare elsewhere. The Lex Luthor of Apes having to use his intellect to overcome immense challenges in body after body, having to actually live up to his belief that he is the greatest amongst all beings.
William Dawson returns for revenge in the early 80s. When Grodd takes his body his mind/essence survives separate from his body, which goes off and gains psychic powers. We learn this when he comes back as Psykon in a 1982 issue of Flash to go after Grodd and in the end gets his body and life back.
It seems to me that the severe limitations created by the imposition of the early CCA pushed creators into being more...creative. It changed comics fundamentally. It made camp mainstream. It was a great time to grow up.
It's 1960 of course they used those potatoes contaminated with human sweat. Of course being the Silver Age DC universe someone who ate that probably got super powers.
Wait... Is this why in the Gorilla Grodd episode of the Justice League Flash has that trippy dream where he goes from Slim to fat and then turn into a gorilla? Edit: 7:25 it is i reawatched the clip and they have the mirrors too + some references of others wacky concepts of the silver age
I mean, probably? It's Wally West, though, but adaptations have trouble separating them. (See Barry fighting Hunter Zolomon on the CW. And Thawne's initial motive being to forge Barry into a true hero through tragedy on the CW; that was also Zolomon doing that to Wally. Which is kind of interesting in Wally's case, seeing as he'd been brainwashed by his girlfriend and his friends were all cool with it.)
This story is so stupid but there are some really interesting concepts here. A person's physical and mental identity changes and they know they used to be someone different but forgot who they used to be and someone transfers their mind into a separate body and as their mind fuses with the host, so does their old body. Also, I love the idea of a criminal chimp gang run by a rogue chimp trainer.
I guess it wasn't until much later that they added to the Flash's mythos that he has to eat a *lot* to replenish the energy he expends using his speed. Also, where was Congo Bill when Grodd figured out how to put his consciousness into a human body?
I would love to see more 'behind the covers' explorations! This way, not only do I get my curiosity satisfied, I also get details about the creators and whatever else you can dig up!
Holy crimson crisis, The Flash become a cluster of calamitous calories and cantankerous cartilage, what kind is of catastrophic carnage could this cause?
Good ‘ol Silver Age DC. Always ready to give a hearty middle finger to physics, logic and reason! The secret sauce to kids entertainment. Also, Grodds consciousness and intellect inside a toddler? That would go a long way towards explaining Stevie Griffin!!!
happy birthday Sasha, great video! Now that you've covered this silly Silver Age DC comic, how about a video on "The Fattest Girl In Metropolis" story from Superman's Girlfriend, Lois Lane Vol.1 #5?
7:50 I'm guessing that, although it's basically just water-weight, there must've been some trace elements of fat coming out in that sweat... rather than selling them, I'm guessing they just wrote off that whole batch, added some herbs and spices, threw a match in there and had a great fried potato feast for all the employees!
I love these silver age shenanigans so keep them coming. The increase in size is pure nightmare fuel for me, because wouldn't be all water weight? Wouldn't his body desperately try to process it out? He would just be a sloshing blob of water, like a water balloon. If it was in his system, the catastrophic imbalance in his electrolytes would be horrific in it's effects for a 1000 lbs of water. Also, ripping skin? ahhh...
When I think about my favorite stories of the late 60's/early 70's, most often it seems they were back-up stories: Like "The Batman Nobody Knows" by Frank Robbins, Dick Giordano, and Julius Schwartz, where Batman goes camping with some kids. The "Manhunter" and "Huntress" (Child of Batman and Catwoman) back-up stories. And a Superman Family (#196) where Clark Kent saves the day in "Super Disco-Fever" by dancing Disco! As always thank you so very much for the video. There's also a story I fondly remember that I haven't been able to track down, (can you?) which starts with some crooks going after a family in crime alley, (I think it was the anniversary of Bruce's parents murder,) where Batman goes after the crooks and throughout the story never says a word. The best part, (and probably why I fondly remember it,) is after Batman has pursued the criminals into the woods outside Gotham his fights one crook who gets above Batman and holds him under the water, then figures and exclaims that he's done it, he's killed Batman... then a Bat gloved hand comes out of the water, pulls the crook down so that he's face to face with a smiling Batman, and the next panel has the crooks head snapping back, a beautiful arc of water, and the Bat-fist that's just hit him. A work of art. Fun Trivia - my Dad was born in a city discovered by "Batman", and once named Batmania. Check it out - Melbourne Australia was (at least according to some Historians) was founded by John Batman, and was known as Batmania. Again thank you.
I always love looking at the crazy Silver Age covers and finding out about the stories behind them, both behind the page and behind the scenes. Please do more videos like this.
Favorite SA cover is where Lois MUST whip a life sized Superman doll with a cat-o-nine-tails while its shackled to a wall...but WHY?? Runner up is Witch Doctor Superman presiding over Jimmy Olsons marriage to a gorilla...🤯
Now there's an origin story: "I ate some dehydrated potatoes. Turns out, The Flash had sweat all over them as they were being dehydrated. Now I have... the Fat Force with me!"
idk why but the out of context panel at 8:18 of Absolute Unit Flash just standing in the doorway made me absolutely lose it it feels ominous for some reason
Barry Allen is so fast, he left his personality behind years ago. I was thinking how he was like Marvel's Hank Pym when Sasha called Barry a scientist but Pym has always had his personality flaws from the start- even before he was introduced as superhero. Barry's just vanilla.
Im reading some Silver Age DC right now from the library.. Dealing with Superman & Batmans sons. Some of the dialogue is killer. Should check it out, might be a good video,
*Lillie takes possession of Giganta body* “Dang it… I wanted to be cheetah…” *She flex her muscles* It’s not a total loss, Plus I’m bigger than anyone here.
Thus making Grodd the Reverse Ultra-Humanite! Genius primate mind into a humand vs genius human mind into a primate ... Grodd skipped the famous actress part, though.
First Happy Birthday again 🎉 next Definitely more looks into seeing if Silver Age Comic Covers coincide with the story within Please, lastly it was a pretty forgettable comic ( I do want the Catwoman Poster the issue’s inker is holding), I’m sure there was a way that Superman could have used his Heat Vision, or Silver Age Bruce must have had a Bat Dehydration Ray so that the Flash did not have too contaminate peoples food…Barry better watch out or Lewis The Lifeguard maybe 🎶 Happy To Say I Rescued A Drowning Potato Today 🎶 Lol ( let’s see who is old enough to get that reference) …Keep Up The Outstanding Work Sasha 🖖🏾
I agree with you 100% on the rogues getting powers, yeah it's neat but them using tech is better IMO. I've always known the cover but not the actual story, so thanks for bringing me on this comic-book journey
5:54 And in the comics some of the villains have powers and gadgets that affect his speed. Unlike in the CW show where normal robbers escape Barry by running down the street.
If you like 'corpulent', might I offer up 'rotund' as well? They're nice sounding words, when not used to demean. Also, the whole instantly assuming the next problem is related to the previous problem... isn't that antithetical to how comic issues work? From the reader's perspective, the next issue setting up its plot is only a couple of panels away in reading order from the last issue's resolution. It sure would seem pretty disheartening if you were a new villain with an all new shtick you've leaned really hard into with theming, coordinating your vehicles and goons, ready to express your manifesto into the world and in Batman's face, only for him to wonder out loud (in Sasha's fantastic voice for him) whether you, Spatula Man, are a direct result of Egghead just getting scrambled off to jail yesterday.
Given how random becoming a speedster can be I wouldn't be surprised if eating one of those sweaty potatoes after microwaving it (because microwaves are science) was someone's speedster origin story.
how did you get your powers?

Yes please ,mote crazy or obscure Covers 🙂👍
If The Flash had been turned into a fat gorilla then this comic would've sold 100 billion copies
100 gorlion copies!
I like his Fat Flash was even brought up in the Justice League animated series, when they fought Grodd in season 1, and he made Flash lose his mind a bit by showing his greatest fear: Slowing down so much that he becomes incredibly obese.
I thought the fear was him never being able to slow down and time being stuck still.
I think the obese dream was in Grodd's first episode, when he was using the Flash to commit crimes.
@@ProjektTaku That was when Dr. Destiny trapped all the members of the Justice League in their own nightmares.
Yeah, saw that episode when it aired originally.
@@tomatooverlord2764 The original post has been edited. It originally said Dr. Destiny was responsible for the obese dream instead of Grodd.
Potatoes basted in Barry's sweat? I guess that would be Fast Food.
🥁
DC used to make a limit on how many gorillas you could have on a cover. I guess Grodd was really popular!
Actually all of that was in place before Grodd even came around. That was during the little hiatus of superhero comics between the end of WWII and the start of the Silver Age. Mostly on sci-fi or weird horror comics they saw that, for some reason, talking gorillas were selling like hotcakes to the point where writers and artists were fighting over who could put an ape on the cover month to month.
Another comics content creator called Comic Tropes recently did a vid on the popularity of apes in DC comics.
Back then, they understood that there were heroes other than Batman and villains other than the Joker (who wasn't allowed to kill people and was just a generic thief with the gimmick that he was clown-themed).
Actually, a lot of Silver Age baddies are thieves just because worse crimes were mostly forbidden by the Comics Code.
This was a pre Peta-era.
.
Same thing with robot violence nowadays.
.
Back then gorillas.
.
But evil gorillas.
.
This racism stands on a par with true racism and humans generic fear for other similar primates.
Ie monke/Neanderthal.
.
I get that's not the point but as a not racist Human.
I recognize the animal abuse in comics in the past.
I'm not here to advocate.just to say racism and comic codes had their codes in this Era.
.
Once racism was connected.

We switched to making the enemy robots.
They went bananas with them.
3:30 Grodd committing suicide to psychically escape prison is such a metal plan and should come back. I also love the idea of Grodd deciding to retire for a bit before realizing he just can't handle life without challenge.
The weight gain fetish is older than I thought.
It's interesting seeing fetish being consistent throughout time 🤭

@@GenericProtagonist118 My point exactly. That one goes back farther.
I am 100-percent sure this story awakened something in someone.
Just like Totally Spies.
Those potatoes were how scientist discovered Olestra. The fake fat substitute that sped through your body like the Flash!
So... what happened to the guy grodd replaced? Is he dead - did his consciousness get destroyed or, worse, was he put into the body of a dying gorilla? Seems like some horror aspects were ignored here.
Easy. Grodd offered him a path to become wealthy. Once he was in murder or false reality.

Once he's defeated.(didn't finish the video or read the comic) dead or regains control.

9:36 Is Barry eating some of his sweat potatoes??
Also I want to know the story behind the Superman-shaped island
Gee, his costume was really versatile. It fit in a ring, it stretched to match his corpulent proportions, and it was airtight.

Happy Birthday Sasha!
I gotta imagine writer Cary Bates must've been inspired by DC's Silver Age considering how bonkers his writing could be in the Bronze Age.

Why didn't he just pee the excess water out?!? His body metabolizes so fast, he could take a little diarrhetic and WHOOSH! All good!
Happy birthday, Sasha!! 🥳🎂🥳🎂
happy birthday Sasha, great video! Now that you've covered this silly Silver Age DC comic, how about a video on "The Fattest Girl In Metropolis" story from Superman's Girlfriend, Lois Lane Vol.1 #5?
Cool part is. There is a Justice League Unlimited episode where there have 'Fat Flash'...a nod back to this comic.
Yes, among other nods and it is the result of Grodd hypnosis of Wally which adds to it.
On Bizarro world, Bizarro Flash is 'The Fattest Man Alive' in stead of 'The Fastest Man Alive'
