This week on The Penny Men, we dive headfirst into the wild spectrum of superhero storytelling—starting with the corniest of corners: a Super Friends-style team-up!

We’re talking:

• One-note heroes
• International diversity
• And powers that make zero sense but look great in a coloring book!

Then, we slam the tone dial all the way down to gritty reboot territory, where the same characters are reimagined as brooding vigilantes with deep scars, moral compromises, and citywide conspiracy boards!

It’s spandex vs. leather, catchphrases vs. trauma arcs, and the eternal question: which version do we secretly want to watch more?
