Even by the abysmal standards of much of the Golden and Silver Age whenever I read pages from Super Stories I suddenly understand exactly why most Baby Boomers saw comics as utter garbage.

What? The Boomers revived comics aimed at adults by going crazy for early Marvel and nudging Stan Lee towards embracing the counterculture. In fact, the Bronze Age, when cape comics started aiming for sophistication and horror got a revival, (1970-1985, roughly) largely overlaps with the period the Boomers were young adults (1965-1986).

If anything, the boomers are the ones who had to deal with parents throwing out their collections while they were at college.

I'm gonna go ahead and assume that this last line is because Kingpin figures JJJ will just go ahead and blame Spider-Man on the front page unprompted.

In any other book, the Kingpin thinking he could become President simply by kidnapping the real one would mean he was having a stroke.

The sad thing is, Chameleon tried to pull something very similar to that in Obama meets Spider-man. And that was a regular story, not some all-ages or early reader stuff.

Chameleon actually has the ability to take over somebody's life, though. His plan was to look and sound like the president so that people would think he was the same person. The Super Story Kingpin's plan hinged on the idea that if you take down the president, you get his job. That might work in a military junta or a board room, but I am like 95% positive the US government doesn't work like that. Source: I am a constitutional lawyer

Clearly Kingpin was going to have the president's car diverted and take its place with his own duplicate car. Then proceed to get out and pretend to be Carter. "I put on weight! Dang minibars"

Considering in the Spidey Super Stories universe, if a wall comes to life and walks closer on a baseball field, play continues with a new much closer boundary, it wouldn't surprise me if anyone who gets out of the president's limo is president by default.

Teenage Arisia had a massive crush on Hal Jordan, so when he said she was too young she ring-whammied herself to become a little older. Arisia claimed that her subconscious did it and that her mind had matured as well, and Hal was like "um... okay, we can work with this." Superman, on the other hand? He'll lay one on a thirteen-year-old.
