Now before you get too upset about this seemingly bizarre superpower: this was 1958. Back then, it was not very unusual for ordinary people to have this ability (atomic testing, you know). So it makes sense that the writers of Superman #125 would endow the Man of Steel with it, too.

Jerry Coleman, Wayne Boring, and Stan Kaye titled their story "Superman's New Power!" In it, Superman faced several challenges that required that he be greatly reduced in size or be in multiple locations simultaneously. This necessitated the Mini-Me Superman. You can see several pages from this freaky issue at Comic Book Resources.

We've previously wrote about the fact that some of the coolest things to do during the San Diego Comic Con don't actually involve the convention at all. That's most certainly the case when it comes to the first night after party -The Great Royal Marshmallow.

This outlandish affair will feature burlesque, an art show, a charity auction, live tattooing, live music, a top dj and more. Perhaps best of all, it will be Wizard of Oz themed! If you're heading out to the con, consider stopping by and saying "hello" -I'll be there in person.

Mad Max fever is sweeping across the globe, but for some the blood of the Road Warrior has been flowing through their veins for decades.

These fans who dream of driving across the wasteland, looking for trouble in a souped up vehicle bristling with weaponry and attitude or, better yet, hitting the highway in Max’s mighty Interceptor muscle car.

A diehard fan named Dale Walter decided to make his own post-apocalyptic dreams come true by turning a 1972 Australian Ford Falcon into the badass muscle car that first drove Max into our hearts back in 1979.

As Dale demonstrates in this video from Barcroft Cars, the Interceptor has a movie accurate horn and siren, a 351 Ford Cleveland engine that purrs and growls like a panther, and enough screen presence to star in its own Mad Max movie!

Some of our favorite pop culture franchises feature a vehicle prominently in the storyline. Whether it’s the funky machine used to get to the next mystery or one super stylin’ way to go back in time, these amazing stories wouldn’t be the same without a cool vehicle.

Artist CJ Johnson has turned his love of vehicles from pop culture into a totally cool series of mashup illustrations that show what happens to the ride when fictional universes collide.

Just when I think there couldn’t be any weirder mashups, comes a version of The Avengers that stars the characters from The Wizard of Oz. Darren Wallace casts the Cowardly Lion as Thor and the Scarecrow as Captain America, but the real star is the Tin Man, who embodies the role of Ultron.

Just like the beginning slate said, this makes no sense, but it is a masterful edit. -via reddit

Monsters are the driving force behind many of our favorite pop culture franchises, the stars of creature features we love or video games we love playing, but other people don’t see monsters as stars.

They see monsters as an inherent part of their cultural mythology, creatures that were created to give shape to the darkness and sometimes to scare superstitious people into doing the right thing.

For example, the dusty Draugar you face in the video game Skyrim are based on creatures from Norse mythology, undead monsters that symbolize jealousy and greed. A Draugr can expand to any size and shape change into a cat, plus they can raise their own army of the undead...

This classic Cracked article reveals the story behind 5 Famous Monsters That Are Way Scarier In Other Countries which, at very least, proves that Bethesda showed gamers some mercy in Skyrim.

Shia LeBeouf is one enigmatic fellow- he’s always spouting all kinds of insane theories, he disappears for a while then reappears when you’d least expect it, and his life beyond the screen is a bit of a mystery.

There’s something about Mr. LeBeouf that’s not quite right, something that makes him seem not quite human.

Could he be one of the legendary Time Lords, sent here to protect Earth’s people from otherworldly horrors and rolling trash can exterminators?

Equally enigmatic artist Brandon Bird seems to think there’s something to the theory, so he’s spreading the word with a series of paintings that show Shia as all thirteen incarnations of The Doctor.

Norma has come to be known as a comic relief character on the prison dramedy Orange Is The New Black, and her silent pantomiming and goofy demeanor on the show makes her seem like a cute and cuddly person.

But long before she played Norma on OITNB actress Annie Golden was tearing it up on stage as lead singer of a punk band called The Shirts.

Annie and The Shirts headlined at CBGB’s in the late 70s and again in the early 90s, and during Annie’s solo career she wrote the song "Hang Up The Phone", which was featured in Sixteen Candles. -Via Elite Daily

Terminator 2: Judgment Day was an awesome movie, but of course, it wasn’t perfect. It’s only from the vantage point of 24 years and three sequels later that we can see the glaring faults in the film. Or if you didn’t, Screen Junkies will be happy to point them out to you. No, this Honest Trailer will not ruin the memory of Terminator 2 for you, but on the off chance you haven’t seen it yet, it does contain spoilers. And NSFW language.

On the surface, you might think that the game Super Mario World and the HBO series Game of Thrones have nothing in common to lend itself to a mashup. But the TV show intro has many art elements that would easily be adaptable to a video game world. Make the GoT theme into a chip tune and voilà! Mashup. The video is from Steven Jase, with music by Paul LeBlanc. -via Uproxx

Immortan Joe controls the cool, refreshing water that thirsty pack of post-apocalyptic mutants known as The Wretched need to survive, but even in this bleak environment people are bound to grow tired of plain old water.

Soon they’ll be looking for a meal, and wondering why they'd never before thought of eating their beloved leader, what with him looking all plump and juicy like a sandworm...

But that’s a story for another strip, this one’s a simply silly Fury Road/Garfield mashup by Burt Durand entitled Garfury Road and doesn’t contain any mention of cannibalism. My bad!

They’re the mic rulers, the old schoolers, the fast food combo meal with lots of flavor that some neighbors refer to as “food monsters”.

They’re the Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and they’ve ruled the airwaves of Adult Swim since their first appearance way back in 2001.

What began as a bit for the flagship Adult Swim show Space Ghost: Coast To Coast has become a ridiculous romp of a (sometimes detective themed) show that keeps changing its name but the food based action always stays the same.

Sadly, the food monsters are about to shuffle off to that great big dumpster in the sky, so isn't it about time you learned a thing or fifteen about your favorite food themed show?!

Fans who are skilled in the ways of the cloth or yarn like to put their skills to work making things that are functional and geeky, but as any crafter knows these projects can take some time.

Skilled superfan Kjetil Nordin spent 800 hours over six years crocheting this amazing blanket that features a screenshot of the map of World 1 from Super Mario Bros 3.

This incredibly detailed piece of needlework art has all the fun little features and figures found on the Super Mario Bros. 3 world map, including a lurching Hammer Bros. and a cry for help coming from the castle.
