Scans_Daily presents, Real Men of Genius week.

Real Men of Genius......

Today, we salute you, Ted Kord & Michael Jon Carter.

Mr. Blue and Mr. Go-oOo-OLD!

You are heroes to the world, world renowned crime fighters.
Do you spend your time and money rebuilding neighborhoods and keeping people safe?

No, you take all the chocos in the embassy. In the supermarkets. In the city. From the mouths of hungry children.
Just so that your supervisor has something to keep him occupied.

*chorus* Mars needs CHOCOS!!!!

Instead of letting the Martian Manhunter off the hook by bringing his cookies in his choco imbalanced state-of-mind, you bravely take your life into your hands by letting him know you were the culprits behind his agony.

It's "mea CULPAAAAAA!!!"

Over the river. Through the woods. To escape certain death you go.

*chorus* Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Stayin' alive. Stayin' alive.

For your endeavors to keep life interesting, like risking other people's properties and lives for a gag,
do you finally achieve nirvana.

Worthy of the Joker

So sit back and enjoy a tall cool glass of milk, because milk will help repair those broken bones.

Mr. Black-and-blue-over-cookies guys!!!

For our international friends, here is a sample, so you can sing along.

	Brilliant! "Mars Needs Chocos!!" LOLOLOLOLOL! And for some reason I see Booster and Beetle lifting their hands to the sky and saying, "GO TEAM VENTURE!" (Reply to this)

	You know, I just have to say how much I love these posts. Out of curiosity, in the later Wade posts, I noticed the number 1, will we be seeing a certain suit from his fight with Bullseye? Because that was a thing of beauty. (Reply to this) (Thread)

CA: What's your favorite Booster Gold moment?

BB: Oh, man, that's tough. I mean, as far as pure humor goes, any time he teamed up with Ted Kord – especially in the "JLI" comics – it was comedy gold. I also loved it when they stole J'onn's faux-Oreo cookies in (I think) the Martian Manhunter series – and the Beetle is literally riding Booster through the air like a sky-pony as they try to escape.

	Okay, I'm crying with laughter over here. It's not just the text (though the lack of commas in Ted's last reply? Genius.) but the art, the expressions! Ted's thinky face! Booster and Ted standing there all doomed on the first page! J'onn's eyes on the last panel of the second page! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	The art is by the incomparable Doug Mahnke, which is why it's so awesome. Dude excels everything, but he's the best at drawing J'onn. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I'd have thought you'd go with Guy Gardner first. That man is so stupid he circles back around to genius (occasionally). Isn't that the essence of 'Real Men of Genius'? (Reply to this)

	Yay! I've been waiting for someone to post this again. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	My favorite part of this scene is still Max's nosebleed on the next page. I laughed til I cried the first time I saw that. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	HA! Or, in this case--BWA-HAHAHA! Is this collected somewhere? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	sherkahn 2009-08-05 08:18 pm UTC (link)
	the Booster and Beetle story about the cookies? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	these two would fit in ridiculously well in a beer commercial, wouldn't they? (Reply to this)

	midnightvoyager 2009-08-05 09:55 pm UTC (link)
	That last page ALWAYS NEEDS THE BIT RIGHT AFTER IT! With the blood just exploding from Max's nose. Cracks me up every time. hee hee hee (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Come on isn't anyone going to do Guy Gardner???? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	sherkahn 2009-08-05 11:14 pm UTC (link)
	Patience. The art must flow..... You must feel the Force around you; here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes. Even between Guy Gardner and the floor. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Chocos will bring john jonn'z back into the light in Blackest Night. How I miss Booster and Beetle playful Shenanigan adventures. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	lol! I can see it now... He's busy stomping the street with Flash and Green Lantern until they go past a Quick-E-Mart, then he gets tamed by the power of Oreo's. =p (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I think this is a good place to post to "Real Otaku Heroes." http://www.realotakuheroes.com/songs/songs.html Even if you are not an anime fan, you might like "Mr. Self Insert Fanfiction Writer". (Reply to this)

	Aw, I was thinking of reposting this since I still have it in my photobucket. Guess I can delete it finally. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Keep it, since it will be called upon for something in about 6 months. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	If it were only 'MARS NEEDS COOKIES!' Instead of 'Chocos', we'd have a motto for the ages. (Reply to this)

	OMG I just heard the sample song! (work has YouTube off-limits) Makes the whole reading thrice as funny. Booster's 'Mr. Burns' pose in the preview is so funny. More, please, more! (Reply to this)
