Just a Hero!![edit]

He does not have any superpowers! If he was trapped with no access to equipment, he would not be able to perform anything out of the human capabilities. He is indeed the hero of all heroes but definitely not a superhero. 1.47.155.42 (talk) 08:50, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Man Ham Knight[edit]

There is a Batman game where Man is the main character and Jonkler is a character that follows you after Man gets exposed to Crowmans scary toxin. Trickster6647 (talk) 19:21, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
