Welcome to a very special installment of Nuggets of Nerddom, the sidecast of The Fantasy Draft Lineup—where dreams are drafted, fandoms collide, and no character is too obscure to get a spinoff!

Joining us in the studio today is none other than Cousin Michal from the Polymuse Experience, and he's brought a five-minute prompt with galaxy-brain potential:👉 Name a character from any property that deserves their own solo comic!

That’s all we needed to spiral into an all-out multiversal pitch-fest! We’re talking Multiple Man noir, Mary Jane’s domestic trauma, Short Round: Legacy of the Fedora, and Steve Canyon soaring back into relevance! And just when you think we’re grounded, we go full Mojo—literally—with our dream casting for the bloated tyrant of the Mojoverse (Danny DeVito? Jim Belushi? Jared Leto method-acting into madness?)!

We cover:

• Deep-cut X-Men like Strong Guy and Longshot
• A surprising defense of Dick Tracy (1990)
• Scrappy-Doo’s backdoor pilot that never was
• Why Shipwreck deserves his own G.I. Joe trilogy
• Zorak impressions, failed Popeye movies, and the moral complexity of dating while cloned

All that plus… the forgotten weirdness of 90s cartoons, the lost art of comic strips, and a heartfelt plea for someone—anyone—to bring Spanner’s Galaxy back!
