Genre:

Hero team

Characters:

Multi-Man II; Ice; Guy Gardner; DMV clerks; Kilowog; Fire; Multi-Woman III; Ace Morgan; Rocky Davis; Red Ryan; various supervillains

Synopsis:

Multi-Man sits in a supervillain bar and reads his obituary. He died heroically saving the Challengers of the Unknown, it says. He gets the horselaugh from various villains. MM demands the newspaper retract his death notice. He needs valid ID. “Try the Department of Motor Vehicles.” At the DMV, MM must take a test. Sitting next to him is Guy Gardner, the testy Green Lantern, also trying to renew his license so he can take Ice for a romantic drive. When MM sabotages the computers, GG attacks. They brawl. Multi-Man’s head falls off: he’s a robot. Kilowog, a robotics expert, trips the memory banks. Multi-Man II was created as a substitute when Duncan Pramble (the original MM) lost his powers. The robot - who ran with the Injustice League - thought he was the real MM. Ice thinks he’s lonely and insists he be rebuilt with a Multi-Woman as companion. Reprogrammed, Multi-Man II and Multi-Woman III drive off in Fire’s Miata to tour all the national parks. And the Challengers read about it in the paper.

Indexer Notes

Multi-Man in a epilogue to the miniseries. In a forward, Jeph Loeb explains this original story is an epilogue to the Challengers of the Unknown miniseries of 1991. It was slated for Justice League Quarterly, but that was canceled. So this is the first publication. Learn more about the Challengers at
