One more comic book thing before I let you go. A while back there was a Justice League Unlimited episode that involved the Legion of Super-heroes and the Fatal Five. The next day I composed this little song on the way to work. I can't write music, but I hear it as something like the White Stripes might sing. Not many people have any idea who the song's about, but I'm pretty darn sure you will!
In the thirty-second century
The marvels of technology
Cannot prevent catastrophe
And things can start to go
Oh, so bad!
That's why we depend on Matter-Eater Lad!
There's a warlord from the 8th dimension
Just escaped from his detention
Fiendish plots are his intention
He's an evil genius,
He's a cad!
So please, save us, Matter-Eater Lad!
Laser blasts from Robot visors
Are to him, mere appetizers.
Fire, earthquakes, monsters, doom and gloom!
There's no peril he cannot consume!
From break of day, throughout the night,
He's there to fight the good fight,
Out of crime, he'll take a bite!
The best friend that our world
Has ever had!
Bon Appétit, Matter-Eater Lad!
