1 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:10,000 Best a speeding bullet, more powerfulls than a locomotive, people the least tall 2 00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:20,719 buildings at a single bound guy. It's Superman. Yes, it's Superman. 3 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:25,800 Strange visitor from another world who came to Earth with powers and abilities far beyond 4 00:00:25,839 --> 00:00:29,920 those of bottle men. Superman who can change the cause of mighty rivers, 5 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,320 bend the steel in his bare hands, and who disguised as Clark Kent, 6 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:39,759 mild manned reporter for a great Metropolitan newspaper, fights a never ending battle for 7 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:45,560 truth, justice and the American Way. But before we joined Superman, here 8 00:00:45,679 --> 00:00:50,000 is an important message. They gang ever talked to a serviceman who seem real 9 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,880 action where my pal Jerry Link was mighty lucky. The other day his older 10 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,960 brother took him over to meet some friends of his at the USO Club and 11 00:00:59,159 --> 00:01:03,679 cho We saw so many different uniforms at once, but they get flyers and 12 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,040 sailors and marine not all either.

Yeah, we're the burger keep us. He's cleaner minds for 22 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:47,560 convoys and worships. And believe you me, youngster, a job is harder 23 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:51,239 than any army job I can think of. We are out all the time, 24 00:01:51,319 --> 00:01:55,760 and all kinds of weather, sweets, terms and FuG nicey guilds that 25 00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:00,239 freeze all right down to the morrow of your bone. I guess you guys 26 00:02:00,239 --> 00:02:02,359 have to be pretty tough for that job, don't you, young sir. 27 00:02:02,439 --> 00:02:06,079 I can tell you this, And if you're a gun to stick with your 28 00:02:06,159 --> 00:02:09,520 job, you've got to have plenty of endurance. Mineshapens no game for a 29 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:13,879 soft teas night, right, Scotty. That goes for any job that our 30 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,879 servicemen tackle today. And while we're on the subject of endurance, let me 31 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:22,120 give all of you a tip you can't expect to grow up really strong and 32 00:02:22,199 --> 00:02:25,680 husky unless you eat right, which includes getting all your vitamins. Now, 33 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:30,479 one of the grandest ways I can think of to start getting two mighty important 34 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:35,400 vitamins B one and B is by treating yourself to a swell big ball full 35 00:02:35,439 --> 00:02:39,520 of extra delicious Kellogg's PEP for breakfast every morning. So ask your mother to 36 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:44,439 get you a package of swell tasting PEP tomorrow. And remember the name now 37 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:52,039 PEP P e P. And now the Adventures of a Superman. As you 38 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,240 all remember, Doctor Leanne the Cameron invented a mechanical man which could see, 39 00:02:55,360 --> 00:03:00,280 walk, talk, and even think for itself. He can up to the 40 00:03:00,319 --> 00:03:04,000 model of the Mechanical Man, which was stolen by an arch criminal named the 41 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,919 Vulture, a Houdini of the underworld. Superman regained the model and sent the 42 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:13,039 Vulture to prison, but the Vulture, a master of makeup and mimicry, 43 00:03:13,199 --> 00:03:16,879 somehow managed to escape. Then, although the police were guarding the vault in 44 00:03:16,879 --> 00:03:21,680 which it was placed for safekeeping, the Vulture succeeded in getting his hands on 45 00:03:21,719 --> 00:03:25,120 the model of the Mechanical Wonder once again for the last episode ended, but 46 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:30,080 wait, let's join Clark, Kent, edisor White and the others in the 47 00:03:30,159 --> 00:03:35,400 fall to the Metropolis City Bank. Listen, I impossible, I tell you, 48 00:03:35,479 --> 00:03:38,159 I will not. I cannot believe it. I can't believe it either, 49 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,400 Perry. I am the president of this bank. No one but myself 50 00:03:40,439 --> 00:03:45,439 and one vice president. No the combination of that vault, and no one 51 00:03:45,479 --> 00:03:47,560 could have gotten into it without the combination. He not only that, mister 52 00:03:47,639 --> 00:03:51,800 Parsons, but the six policemen of instation in front of the vault all night, 53 00:03:52,159 --> 00:03:54,400 and the sergeant swears no one got past. No one even came in 54 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,919 here. Oh sake, my surgeon Stripes. Wait a minute, quainterman. 55 00:03:59,039 --> 00:04:01,159 Now, now let's start for the beginning and get this fantastic business straight. 56 00:04:01,759 --> 00:04:04,680 We know that model of the mechanical man was in the vault last night, 57 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:09,520 because we came down here and Parsons here open the vault just to be door. 58 00:04:09,639 --> 00:04:12,840 That's right, Perry, And after I closed and locked it again, 59 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,519 these policemen were posted on guard in front of it. Yet when we come 60 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,279 to get the model this morning, we find it's gone. And in its 61 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,959 place is this thing, oh wooden carving of a vulture well, it's all 62 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,920 pretty clear to me. Somehow the vulture managed to get into that vault during 63 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,839 the night, steal the model of the mechanical man, and get away without 64 00:04:29,879 --> 00:04:33,040 being detect impossible, Perry, Totally impossible. The vault is burglar proof, 65 00:04:33,199 --> 00:04:36,439 you couldn't even blow it open, and he tampering with it sets off a 66 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:42,000 loud alarm. I don't care how clever this this vulture is. He could 67 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:46,480 never have gotten into that vault without the combination, And one vice president and 68 00:04:46,519 --> 00:04:48,560 I are the only ones who know it. Well. Could he have managed 69 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:53,000 to get hold of it somehow without your annoying certainly not. The other man 70 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,720 who knows it is in California, has been for two months. The combination 71 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,360 is not written down on anything anywhere. We rememberize it, you see. 72 00:05:00,399 --> 00:05:03,600 Oh besides, even if you didn't know the combination, we know he didn't 73 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:08,319 get in that way because the sergeant here says no one even came into this 74 00:05:08,399 --> 00:05:11,759 room during the night. Are you sure of that, Sergeant pauses of Mistress 75 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,519 Kemp. No one could have come in undetected and also wake up the lights 76 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,199 rolling right all night long. And there's only one answer to this whole mess. 77 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,120 And I think I know it. What's that, mister Kemp, You 78 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,199 say you know the answer to this mystery? Yes, and I'm pretty sure 79 00:05:26,199 --> 00:05:30,279 it's the only answer. I couldn't possibly be any other. Well, if 80 00:05:30,319 --> 00:05:32,000 it can't, come on, come on, speak up, Wait a minute. 81 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,680 That is the only answer. How does it figure out? Of course, 82 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,199 mister Parsons, your present of this bank? Yes, I want your 83 00:05:41,199 --> 00:05:44,360 permission to search this bank from top to bottom right now? Well, of 84 00:05:44,399 --> 00:05:46,920 course, But why I'd rather not say until I'm sure of what I'm thinking. 85 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,279 Until I find the thing I'm looking for. Sergeant Audio, men to 86 00:05:50,319 --> 00:05:54,680 search this bank. Have them examine every room, every closet thoroughly. No 87 00:05:54,879 --> 00:05:57,920 hold on, Mistress Kent. How can we look for tumping when we don't 88 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,240 know what we're looking for? If I'm right, you'll know it when you 89 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,759 see it. Get going, all right? So always man, you know 90 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:08,240 what to do. Mister Parsons. The three of us will start with the 91 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,839 watchman's quarters kind of feeling. We'll find what I'm after there. Come on, 92 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,439 I'm afraid I don't know where the watchman's quarters are. Can't we can 93 00:06:15,439 --> 00:06:17,480 find out easy enough? Come on, Kenned, I we should stop all 94 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,720 this confounded mystery. That's what are you up to? What exactly are you 95 00:06:20,759 --> 00:06:24,480 looking for? I the one thing I could possibly be looking for. And 96 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,439 then yeah, wait a minute, here's the door with a sign on it 97 00:06:27,439 --> 00:06:30,920 which says the porters on the Watchman's quarters are probably in that room. Let's 98 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:31,879 have a look. What have we got to, lows? Come on, 99 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:40,079 room's empty. This is obviously the place we're looking for. Those lockers, 100 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,720 I want to have a look inside them at once. All right, Canny, 101 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:47,079 I'll try this one. Allay, Okay, nothing in this one here, 102 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:51,360 kn't. I'll keep trying. I was right. I can see it 103 00:06:51,439 --> 00:06:57,199 right through this locker, and I better get it open. There's nothing here. 104 00:06:57,319 --> 00:07:00,000 I'll keep at it. The door's locked. I just have to wrench 105 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:05,839 it open. They'll ever notice here we are, chief mister Parsons, I 106 00:07:05,959 --> 00:07:10,319 followed, I was looking for. Come here? What is it? But 107 00:07:11,319 --> 00:07:15,160 great? Hearns. It's a man bound and gagged, an unconscious drug, 108 00:07:15,199 --> 00:07:19,600 I imagine, and hidden in this locker. But who is he? Your 109 00:07:19,759 --> 00:07:24,439 night watchman? My night? Now with him, and I'll explain everything to 110 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,319 you. It's all pretty obvious and simple, really, And I'm afraid we've 111 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,240 all been tricked, Beautiful, I don't follow you. And if you could 112 00:07:30,279 --> 00:07:34,079 recognize all your employees by sight, you'd know that this man is your night 113 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:38,519 watchman. And you'd have known that the man named Hawkins who admitted us to 114 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,360 the bank last night was not. But we've just changed men. He was 115 00:07:42,399 --> 00:07:45,839 a new man. You don't mean that the man we saw wasn't they do 116 00:07:46,519 --> 00:07:48,759 The man who pretended to be the night watchman last night was no one but 117 00:07:48,839 --> 00:07:51,360 the Vulture. But great, everyone, how can you be so certain? 118 00:07:51,439 --> 00:07:55,600 Don't you see? No one entered that vault last night, no one got 119 00:07:55,639 --> 00:07:58,639 past the sergeant and his men, and yet the model was gone this morning. 120 00:07:59,079 --> 00:08:01,839 Well, they could only be one answer to that. The model was 121 00:08:01,879 --> 00:08:03,759 not put back into the vault at all. I begin to see it all 122 00:08:03,879 --> 00:08:07,759 now as I remember that watchman last night put the model of the mechanical man 123 00:08:07,879 --> 00:08:11,920 back into the vault for us, and then Parsons locked the door. That's 124 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:15,759 right, But actually he didn't put it back. If the Vulture is as 125 00:08:15,759 --> 00:08:18,360 clever a trickery as we have reason to believe, it would have been a 126 00:08:18,399 --> 00:08:22,480 simple matter for him to hide that model temporarily. Good grief, You're right, 127 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,519 you must be right, Well, what do we do now? We've 128 00:08:24,519 --> 00:08:28,879 about to get back that model of the mechanical man. There's no telling what 129 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,759 use the vulture will make of it. To think of his pulling a trick 130 00:08:31,839 --> 00:08:35,879 like this right before her eyes, we never even suspect him. Worried chief, 131 00:08:35,399 --> 00:08:39,240 a mechanical man in the hands of an arch criminal like the vulture is 132 00:08:39,279 --> 00:08:43,200 a dangerous and deadly thing. We've got to get that mechanical man back, 133 00:08:43,759 --> 00:08:48,879 and something tells me we'd better do it in a hurry. Our scene changes 134 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,320 now from the Metropolis City Bank to another hideout of the vulture. We find 135 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:56,360 ourselves in a large room in which stands a huge tank filled with ice cold 136 00:08:56,399 --> 00:09:01,519 water. Lying at the bottom of the tank, clad in a bathing suit, 137 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,919 is the Vulture, his arms, legs and body bound with chains and 138 00:09:05,039 --> 00:09:09,879 mocks. As he twists and turns furiously on the water, trying to free 139 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,360 himself from the chains that bind him. His men servant Judson stands by outside 140 00:09:13,399 --> 00:09:18,759 the tank with a stopwatch in his hand. Suddenly, the vulture is free 141 00:09:18,759 --> 00:09:20,320 of the chains and locks, and with a quick movement, shoots to the 142 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:26,399 surface of banks. But when the time Judgins broke in your records. Are 143 00:09:26,639 --> 00:09:30,080 you escape from the strait jacket of the chains in exactly two minutes and forty 144 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,679 three seconds. That six seconds better than your old record. Excellent. Help 145 00:09:33,759 --> 00:09:39,200 your towel and robe, sir. Thank you judging her and water was bracing 146 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,159 this morning. I doubt know how you stand it, sir. I positively 147 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:45,600 do not. I am harden to a judgin. Oh. It takes will 148 00:09:45,639 --> 00:09:48,279 of power, but I enjoy nothing more than forcing my body to obey my 149 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:52,200 will. Er. Breakfast is ready, I trust, yes, sir. 150 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:56,120 I felt it on your desk as you requested. I also put the models 151 00:09:56,120 --> 00:10:01,120 of the mechanical men on your desk. Excellent. Come Judson, sit with 152 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:05,519 me while I at breakfast and like to talk to you very well, sir. 153 00:10:05,639 --> 00:10:09,360 It does me good to see that model of the mechanical man standing here 154 00:10:09,399 --> 00:10:13,799 before me on the desk. It took a lot of hard and ticklish work 155 00:10:13,879 --> 00:10:18,480 to get my hands on it again, I can imagine, sir. Shall 156 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,879 I pull your coffers? Yes, no, let the mechanical man do it. 157 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,879 Let the mechanical man do it, sir. Yes. Just watch. 158 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:33,639 I pressed the switch on the control panel so no, when the eyes light 159 00:10:33,759 --> 00:10:39,000 up, he'll be ready to perform, Judson, I've made a decision, 160 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:43,360 a decision, sir, Yes, Judson, I have decided not to sell 161 00:10:43,519 --> 00:10:48,440 the Mechanical Man. But why did you want it? Sir? I'm coming 162 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:52,960 to that. For years I've worked as a lone criminal. I have made 163 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,720 myself an expert in many fields so that I might successfully elude capture and conviction. 164 00:10:58,759 --> 00:11:01,120 But I'm not getting any younger, you know, and I think the 165 00:11:01,159 --> 00:11:07,320 time has come for me to an acquire an accomplice renaissance accompany. Have you 166 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,960 found one who are suitable? Though, Yes, Jetson, I have. 167 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:16,000 The Mechanical Man will be my aid and accomplice. Sir. I shall get 168 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:20,559 in touch with Smith at once and have him construct an eight foot monster and 169 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:24,279 an eight foot monster of steel that will do my bidding, obey my every 170 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:31,519 command. Kill when I command it, steel when I command it, Smash 171 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:37,240 and mutilate, and destroy when I command it. Was there ever such a 172 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:41,960 combination, Jetson with heaven life irdly think so, sir? Not? I 173 00:11:43,039 --> 00:11:46,600 Well, now to breakfast. The eyes of the Mechanical Man have lit up. 174 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:54,799 Mechanical Man, I command you to pour my coffee. Look, sir, 175 00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:01,039 he's walking towards the coffee pot by jove, No, sir, he's 176 00:12:01,039 --> 00:12:07,080 picking it up. And look at that site. He's walking towards your cup 177 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:15,519 now by Joe. Yes, by heaven, sir, he's starting to fit 178 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:20,399 your cup. It's amazing, sir. Even more than amazing, it's miraculous. 179 00:12:20,519 --> 00:12:28,000 Gentsen, I shall be the most dangerous criminal in the world. Well, 180 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:33,639 the vulture contemplates with pleasure the horror and destruction he can perpetrate with the 181 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:37,360 aid of an eight foot mechanical man that can walk, talk, here, 182 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:41,120 see, and even think. In just a moment, will return to the 183 00:12:41,159 --> 00:12:46,799 adventures of Superman. But right now here is another important method. Say, 184 00:12:46,919 --> 00:12:48,759 gang, ever have days when you know the minute to get up in the 185 00:12:48,799 --> 00:12:54,080 morning that everything is going to be really super Well, maybe that doesn't happen 186 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,840 as often as you'd like, but I can give you one mighty swell suggestion. 187 00:12:58,399 --> 00:13:01,519 Just you try starting your day with a grand big ball full of crisp 188 00:13:01,639 --> 00:13:07,000 crunchy Kellogg's pep for breakfast, and see if that doesn't give you a real 189 00:13:07,039 --> 00:13:09,840 lift. Yes, sir, pep is sir, dogg ons while tasting that 190 00:13:09,919 --> 00:13:13,279 a sort of brightens up your day right from the start. You see, 191 00:13:13,279 --> 00:13:20,000 pep is made from the choice parts of sunripeen wheat carefully toasted, so it's 192 00:13:20,039 --> 00:13:24,879 just as light and crisp and tempting as you could possibly want. So be 193 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,720 sure to ask your mother to get you a package of delicious Kellogg's pep tomorrow 194 00:13:30,039 --> 00:13:35,639 and remember, heh, heh, get in theft, make your serial kellogg 195 00:13:35,759 --> 00:13:46,600 Pep. And now back to Superman. While the culture plans the building of 196 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:50,759 an eight foot monthster from Doctor Cameron's model, Superman and the guise of Clark 197 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,039 Hint is leading a desperate search to locate the arch criminal. Will he be 198 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:58,240 found in time? Will Superman be able to avert the disaster plan by the 199 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:03,120 Vulture? What will happen? Be sure to tune in tomorrow and every day 200 00:14:03,399 --> 00:14:11,440 Monday through Friday, same time, same station for the thrilling adventures of Superman. 201 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:18,320 Bester than a speeding bullet, all the powerfuls and a locomotive be able 202 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:24,679 to leave puller buildings in a single bound. A frill of guy Come work. 203 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:33,240 Follow the adventures of Superman everyday, Monday through Friday, same time, 204 00:14:33,399 --> 00:14:39,759 same station. Superman is directed by George Lofa and is a copyrighted feature appearing 205 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:54,600 in Action Comics magazine. This is virtual welcome back. Well, I'll be 206 00:14:54,720 --> 00:15:01,480 honest that not having part nine is proba only the most difficult part of this 207 00:15:01,639 --> 00:15:09,080 cereal because it sounds like a lot of really exciting and important things happened in 208 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:13,840 that particular episode. But thankfully with the recap we at least get the gist 209 00:15:13,919 --> 00:15:20,240 of it, but still not quite the same. One big tip off to 210 00:15:20,639 --> 00:15:24,759 the fact that the Guard was the Vulture was his use of the name Hawkins, 211 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:33,279 Hawk and Vulture both birds, so based on typical super villain conventions, 212 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:37,919 you kind of expect that to be him. Thinking about it, it might 213 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:45,759 be easy to blame Clark Kent aka Superman for this whole thing, since it 214 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:52,000 was his idea that they had to get inside the vault to make sure the 215 00:15:52,039 --> 00:15:56,720 Mechanical Man was still in there. And that does make me wonder why they 216 00:15:56,799 --> 00:16:02,720 didn't put the mechanical Man in a safe deposit box. Given his size, 217 00:16:02,759 --> 00:16:06,720 he could fit into, you know, not necessarily one of the really small 218 00:16:06,759 --> 00:16:11,039 ones, but there are some boxes that he could fit into, and that 219 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:15,120 would be a little extra layer of security. I don't think it would mean 220 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,919 a whole lot to the Vulture, but it might take him a couple of 221 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:23,679 minutes. I do think that the Vulture probably would have gotten the ten man 222 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:30,159 out or one way or another, even with the cordon of policemen around there, 223 00:16:30,399 --> 00:16:34,200 So I can't blame Clark can't too much. All he did was make 224 00:16:34,279 --> 00:16:38,840 the Vulture's plan work easier because he was able to get out of the bank 225 00:16:38,919 --> 00:16:44,080 vault at a reasonable hour, go home, and get some rest. So 226 00:16:44,399 --> 00:16:51,200 I guess that was nice. I don't think the Vulture is making a particularly 227 00:16:51,399 --> 00:16:57,679 wise plan with his idea of building an eight foot tall version of the robot 228 00:16:57,799 --> 00:17:03,400 to be his partner in crime. The Vulture's method, it's our all substrifuge 229 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:11,400 and cleverness and stealth. An eight foot tall robot is just not going to 230 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:17,880 have those capabilities, so it really feels like it's operating outside of his strength. 231 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,880 Though then again, it may just be the allure of the idea of 232 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:26,279 I'm going to make myself an eight foot giant robot to help me in my 233 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:32,599 work. I mean, if you offered me an eight foot tall robot for 234 00:17:32,799 --> 00:17:37,039 the podcast that could see, touch, thy carry, etc. I mean, 235 00:17:37,079 --> 00:17:40,839 I'd have to take you up on it. I have no idea what 236 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:45,079 I would do with an eight foot tall robot for the podcast. I mean, 237 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,559 it could host I suppose, you know, even in that little squeaky 238 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,960 voice, I think there are some listeners who think that'd be an improvement. 239 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,480 But I still, you know, offered me the eight foot robot, and 240 00:17:55,839 --> 00:17:59,480 I think I would be severely attempted to take it. And who knows that 241 00:17:59,559 --> 00:18:03,160 may be what the vultures going through. I did like him having the mechanical 242 00:18:03,279 --> 00:18:11,880 man pour his coffee. It's, you know, given the potential and the 243 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:18,039 danger of the mechanical Man. It's not quite using the Infinity Gauntlet to make 244 00:18:18,079 --> 00:18:23,279 a hot pocket, but it's kind of heading in that direction. Speaking of 245 00:18:23,319 --> 00:18:29,119 the Vulture, my wife said that every time she hears the name the Vulture, 246 00:18:29,319 --> 00:18:36,680 she can't help but think of the modern vulture character whose Spider Man villain 247 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:41,799 was actually the villain in the movie Spider Man Homecoming that came out not too 248 00:18:41,839 --> 00:18:48,000 long ago. Of course, in the Golden Age of comics, you'll often 249 00:18:48,079 --> 00:18:53,279 find characters at different companies, particularly when you're dealing with the villains and the 250 00:18:53,359 --> 00:19:00,039 side characters who have the same name as characters at other companies or as characters 251 00:19:00,039 --> 00:19:07,920 who would later become famous. For example, there was a character called Daredevil 252 00:19:07,079 --> 00:19:15,799 who was a superhero with no relation to the character who would later be created 253 00:19:15,839 --> 00:19:18,440 by Marvel Comics. So that is one of those things that you do run 254 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:23,519 into with these sort of Golden Age characters, particularly on the radio, where 255 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:30,079 the name of the villain was given just to give them a particular menace. 256 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,839 Though I think this particular villain is doing what he can to live up to 257 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,359 his name. A few quick notes before we wrap up. First of all, 258 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:41,880 over on one of my other podcasts, The Amazing World of Radio at 259 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:47,000 Amazing dot Great Detectives dot net, we have a very special episode of The 260 00:19:47,039 --> 00:19:51,720 Amazing World of Radio.
