Wow. While adding yet another metallic figure to the
line-up, this guy is pretty much the definition of "obscure
character". Yes, he's fairly cool looking, but I
think the ONLY reason he was included is that at the time
of putting this pitch together, he had been heavily featured
in DC comics for a few months in ads for their upcoming
"Who's Who" series. And then he disappeared
for years. And showed up again in a different costume.
Gardner Grayle didn't even quite exist in the DC universe,
but was in a science-induced coma dreaming about a post-apocalyptic
future in which he led a band of "Atomic Knights".
His hallucinating body would sometimes wake-up and wreak
havoc until Superman could calm him down. This
was fodder for a kiddie line?
Regardless, he made it into the mix, obviously as another
Brainiac type figure (shiny!). I wonder what DC had to
say about his inclusion, though? Go
here to read about his wacky adventures!
If anyone wants to attempt a custom of this crazy fella,
go ahead and I'll include it here!
