Justice League Unlimited: To Another Shore

September 29, 2005, 9:15 pm

Up this episode in the “My Hero is More Obscure Than Yours” sweepstakes is The Viking Prince. The Legion of Doom (they don’t really call themselves that, but I will) decide to steal the body of the Viking Prince to learn his secrets of invulnerability.

Not a bad version of the Joker, really. They’ve also have him painted on the side of the building, as well. [...]
