DC Comics has given the world many superheroes to enjoy such as Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman. However, not all cool heroes are on the A list, and many have found themselves adapted and yet stayed under the radar. Metamorpho is set to appear in the (time of typing) burgeoning James Gunn DCEU in Superman Legacy. Rex Mason debuted in the 60s during the silver age and has endured since. Just what was it about this character that made him stick around? Find out here on Casually Comics!

For me, Metamorpho is one of those DC heroes that have the most potential to be stars of the highest profile. There's a whole story and uniqueness to the character that sets him apart from dozens of other heroes. A very similar case to that of Firestorm, in my opinion.

@diegopansini3152 11 месяцев назад

Agreed. Firestorm and Metamorpho are such powerhouses, it’s a shame they’re often shoved to the background. Firestorm alone could solve so many issues in the DC universe

@kami_in_the_skye 11 месяцев назад

Metamorpho might be the most perfect C-lister ever conceived. He's a little too inherently weird conceptually, goofy looking visually, and OP in a not straightforward enough way to ever quite fully break out. But at the same time, the concept is also extremely compelling, the look is visually striking, and the powers are so versatile that it pretty much guarantees there will always be enough writers who want to write him, artists who want to draw him, and readers who want to read him to keep him in pretty regular circulation & moderately relevant/successful.

@Jezee213 11 месяцев назад

I've always loved Metamorpho, so much you can do with him in stories. Also, I love Simon Staggs design. Genuine evil businessman right there!

@CrisisComics 11 месяцев назад

Honestly, my favorite Metamorpho story was the arc from Justice League Europe where he fought to get his and Sapphire's infant son back from Stagg. He had great fights with Guy Gardner and the Metal Men, a heartbreaking dilemma with his son's out-of-control powers, and a really heartwarming scene-turned-funny moment at the end when Simon finally holds his grandson. Top notch stuff. Also, anyone else think the face of 90s Metamorpho is a dead ringer for modern Dwayne Johnson?

I always really liked Metamorpho and always felt he’s one of those guys who coulda been A list of writers just gave him the chance. He’s got a great backstory, powerset, a good personality, a lot of his own character history, and a really interesting design. His problem is… he can’t stop dying. For long stretches at that. Ike it was a joke that he died like 3 times in the main universe and in one of those times, he was revived by having a bomb dropped on him!

Metamorpho has always been DC's answer to Ben Grimm. I always wanted to see crossover that would have these two go on an adventure3 and, possibly even more fun, sit with them as they share a beer and just chew the fat. You did show a panel from JLA that was one of the best uses for Metamorpho. Turning into an escape bod and then filling it with shock absorbing fluid was genius and loved that. He's a great character and I'm hoping we get to see the Terrifics in Superman Legacy

@magicalgirllaurie 11 месяцев назад

I’ve loved Metamorpho since I saw the Justice League episode he was in as a kid. I don’t think I’ve even read a comic with him in it tbh, he just left a big impression on me as a kid and I love him.

He almost killed Superman… pretty powerful, he handled them easily. He did that to them in comics too!

@MarkTyger 11 месяцев назад

Metamorpho is one of those characters that I thought was neat as a kid, but the older I got, the more compelling the character became. Yes, his look and backstory are peak 60's Silver Age Comics, but the best parts of that age; goofy at first blush but iconic in the long run. His powers were also fascinating as I evolved from Who is the Strongest/Fastest/Toughest debates as a kid to admiring the infinite versatility such powers would present as an older reader. Metamorpho is a character and a concept that gets better with age, and I'm always thrilled to see him show up in any expanded media. Very curious to see what happens if he ever makes it to the big (or small) screen!

@GamerSlyRatchet1 11 месяцев назад

Metamorpho's always a good time when he shows up. His powers can get very creative. I'm fond of his design in Young Justice once he becomes more deformed and in Beware the Batman due to the miss-matching textures and the purple/green eyes. U'm excited to see him played by one of my favorite actors in the Superman movie.

@JKevinCarrier 11 месяцев назад

Yup, agreed 100%. Metamorpho checks all the boxes: A clever concept, a great design, strong supporting cast, an appealing style, and Haney and Fradon knew how to leverage all that to create great, memorable stories. To use a movie analogy, he may never be a "leading man", but he's like a really good character actor who elevates any project he appears in.

@carminedawg9506 11 месяцев назад

Hope we get a Silver Age Metamorpho omnibus if his movie is a hit. What is really impressive about the character is that he has kept his supporting cast the same since his debut. Even much bigger named Heroes have had time keeping consistent side characters.

Metamorpho's generally had good luck with artists over the years, I think in part because his power set has got to be fun to go crazy with. Like any shifter/stretchy hero you really don't need to worry about staying on-model, which I'm told is very liberating.

@robstein1313 11 месяцев назад

I had no idea he had such a rich history. (I’m definitely seeing a clear through-line to Venture Brothers… that kind of world and absurdity but then a deep humanity woven into it). I think he could fit into something like the Doom Patrol tv series or anything by James Gunn (human drama with “weird freaks”) I’m already emotionally invested in this love triangle and mad scientist father-inlaw dynamic even before the superhero stuff

@chriswest6988 11 месяцев назад

The premise is similar to the film "the House of Frankenstein". Larry Talbot (Lon Chaney) is transformed into a strange creature and reluctantly agrees to work with untrustworthy mad scientist Neiman (Boris Karloff) who pretends to be trying to cure him, but really is not. His deformed hunchbacked assistant Daniel is in love with the beautiful girl, but she is in love with the cursed Larry, causing Daniel to have jealous hate toward Larry.

The term "making love" was once roughly equivalent to something like "pitching woo" or smooching in a more innocent age.

@richmcgee434 11 месяцев назад

Go back to Victorian Era fiction and it was even more innocent, just hands-off dating, really. Became steadily more sexualized over the years starting around the late 1950s and pretty just has just meant "having sex" since the mid-to-late 1970s. Anybody old enough to remember "making whoopie" from the Dating Game? Glad that one faded away... :)

@puirYorick 11 месяцев назад

@@richmcgee434 I despise euphemistic terms like "making whoopie" because they just take a clean word and gradually make that word permanently filthy for a generation or more. On many YT channels, the overuse of "frickin/fricken" as a verbal crutch to replace an obscene word sounds like that word itself to my ears now. Although its etymology is not fully agreed upon, one of the filthiest words in our language likely began as any of a handful of related cunning euphemisms for a part of a woman's anatomy.

This is such a great video. Metamorpho has always been up there with Plastic Man and Firestorm as a character that needs way more appearances. All three allow for nearly infinite creativity with writing and art. I think the open ended nature or their powers is extremely intimidating for most which is why they are used so sparingly.

@jamesallard7223 11 месяцев назад

I love that Rex and Sapphire were literally standing in Simon's shadow. The artwork also suggests that The Element Man can escape via flatulence. Seriously (as much as I am capable of being), there was something about the initial design of the character that I remember being most affected by (memory is limited, I had that B&B issue IIRC). Doom Patrol was another favorite. The Odd DC Universe is a wild place to go. Good show!

@drscratchy 11 месяцев назад

My first exposure to Metamorpho was The Outsiders from the 80s. That being said those older stories before that time had something unique that I began to explore after learning the sad story of the original Element Girl. Now THAT was heartbreaking.

@ashleytuchin7693 11 месяцев назад

I was introduced to Rex through Justice League Unlimited, and I grew to love him over time. I really enjoyed his recent World's Finest story and I'm glad he's finally going to get his live-action debut. Side-note: I swear Simon Stagg has the greatest hair in comics.

@Skeezer66 11 месяцев назад

I'm a longtime Metamorpho fan, and have looked for and read some of the issues of that 60's run. Sometimes reading them can feel like they're trying too hard to be 'hip' and 'with it', but they're mainly enjoyable. I'm also a fan of those Metal Men and Doom Patrol series! I hope there's a day when The Metal Men make a comeback! By the way, 'making love' had a different meaning back then, it was more like 'making out'. In the 70's it changed to actual s-e-x. The red wig and black lipstick are Power Moves!!

@eriksieurin334 11 месяцев назад

The first time I saw Metamorpho was in that one episode of Beware the Batman, and by the end I really hoped he survives cause I liked his character so much, it was so tragic in a way, I read it as a story of someone who used to take things for granted now had to face those things while caught between being a man and a monster, so I was really happy to see him return later in the show, and I still smile whenever I see him cameo in other things

@iamfiefo 11 месяцев назад

I remember reading Metamorpho as a backup story and I loved the idea of everything. Him thinking his powers are a curse. Stagg, his benefactor, wanting to get rid of him but needing him for his powers. Sapphire may be ditzy but I loved how she stood behind her man. It was just so different from the other DC heroes at the time because everything was so complex.

@kaboombox1581 11 месяцев назад

I first remember reading stories with Metamorpho in the early 70s with him guesting in the Brave and the Bold with Batman or JLA. Jim Aparo always did a great job drawing him. They would frequently reprint his stories as back-ups in giant size issues which is how I got his backstory. Great character that DC didn’t know what to do with until the Outsiders.

@BoSmith7045 11 месяцев назад

The expression "making love" used to have a more innocent meaning. As in It's A Wonderful LIfe when Donna Reed told her mother that Jimmy Stewart was "making violent love" to her. That was the late 40s depicting the late 20s or early 30s. Don't know how or why but sometime in the 70s that term came to mean something a bit more than heavy petting. If Metamorpho got the same treatment as Peacemaker and Vigilante it could work pretty well but I doubt he would catch on beyond the hardcore DC fans. The budget to make him work properly on screen would also get complicated and expensive really fast. James Gunn obviously wants to do something which is why he is getting shoehorned into the Superman movie but I really don't have any faith in a Gunnverse.

@Ioannis-malewitch 11 месяцев назад

To be honest I hadn't really heard of him before the movie casting despite being very familiar with DC lore, largely thanks to you and of course I am a DC fan. But I have a theory similar to yours about that tropes(greek word by the way). It's the soap opera/greek tragedy tropes that have a universal appeal and are popular with all the genres. Science fiction, horror, superhero and of course comedy and drama throw in something about a love triangle,a love that has to overcome obstacles, evil family members and most of the time you have a success 😉

My first read of Metamorpho was in Batman and the outsiders #7. I found it in the quarter bin and was amazed about each member of the team.

First introduced to Rex in JLE and quickly hunted down his silver age stories and further adventures in Batman and the Outsiders. So pumped for his live action version. Although as you say not his first venture into live action. A live action pilot was filmed during his silver age run but was never aired. Remember reading about it in one of the newsletters at the back of the early comic books. Hoping he will get more solo adventures in the near future. Great overview of the history of this very underrated character. Thank you for putting a spotlight on him.

Always felt that Metamorpho was a solid character that never lived up to his potential, mostly because the writers saw him as kind of a rocky tough guy. Very one-note in his powers. His ability to turn into literally any element on the periodic chart -- more than 100 elements in all -- gave him access to a wealth of untapped powers. DC needed someone with a chemistry degree, who understood the properties of all of these chemicals and their capabilities -- to fully display what he was capable of.

Thanks for the (for me) heads up about Metamorpho, Sasha. As one who cut his teeth on reprints of the old Doc Savage pulp novels of the 50's, Metamorpho's early adventure run intrigues me. As to the term "making love" making it past the Comics Code, let's just say that that particular phrase has changed meaning drastically over the centuries. To quote Jane Austen from Pride and Prejudice: "He is as fine a fellow," said Mr. Bennet, as soon as they were out of the house, "as ever I saw. He simpers, and smirks, and makes love to us all. I am prodigiously proud of him."

I loved Metamorpho so much that I created my own superhero that was a transforming dog. In addition to being able to turn into any element he wanted, he could shape change, which also just happened to give him intelligence.

'Making love to' used to mean wooing or courting. It didn't equate to doing the dirty until relatively recently. If I recall, Sherlock Holmes used the phrase in Arthur Conan Doyle's original stories.

The "just dating" usage is all over the place in Victorian Era fiction, and quite probably earlier. Didn't even imply kissing until into the 1920s or 30s, and it wasn't hardcore sex until the 70s or 80s.

Last time I remember him getting proper respect was Morrison’s first issue of Justice League

Dude, Anthony Kerrigan is an absolute unit. He's one of the best parts of Barry.

Metamorpho is easily one of my favorite lesser known heroes. He's a lot of fun, im both campy and serious ways. I kinda like him where he's at, though. I fear too much popularity will ruin him.

Metamorpho has always been a favorite of mine. I loved him in the TERRIFICS. Please do a TERRIFICS episode.

Metamorpho worked well on The Terrifics since that series was a pastiche of the early Fantastic Four stories which played in the same adventure/sci-fi genre as the early Metamorpho stories.

One of my favorite DC characters (along with Booster Gold). Metamorpho is one of those characters that can be used to good effect today, with the right handling. Side note: the only way Rex Mason could POSSIBLY be cured is by contact with the very same meteor that GAVE him his powers!!

I remember him from JLE. It was a fairly comedic comic, but he was one of the more grounded characters that kept it from getting too goofy.

I would actually love to see a video about the 60s batman series. It s a quite interesting piece of media and there are a lot of things I don t know aboout how it came into being.
