Your beard being a different color from your hair is a thing.
I have brown hair, but my beard is Ginger Red. It's more common if you're blonde
Just got a look at it on the website. This explains the wigs, the random disappearances, why Alvin is sometimes in a mood… you have a secret identity! I knew it!
That's so cool, I'm happy for you to have that happen!
"I see. But Why?" is my first reaction to most of these "Lois marries random" comics, and pretty much every single one of Lois's life choices and priorities 🤣🤣🤣
Marriage addiction. We all have our vices.
Honestly let her love and laugh with anyone make her the ideal person just has the weakness of the actual marriage addiction she has
I would argue that Lois and the comic book creators have the same motivation: They're on deadline.
I love how she just OUT LOUD says "well if superman won't have me, then I guess you will do." And the dudes totally take that as a win!
I choose to believe that Futureman was Booster Gold. Makes this so much more interesting.
I almost posted that comment on Sasha's initial post about this!
I head canon it as Booster’s brother
Nah, he's an old pulp hero right? If not there's a similarly named pulp hero who looks a lot like him and Wonderella attended his funeral.
Retcon when?
Lmao yes!
The fact that the story where Lois is riding a meteor in space with another suitor is considered one of the more tame stories in this series is hilarious.
I'm so sad that Reality TV wasn't a thing back than, because you just know that Lois would have the greatest season of The Bachelorette ever.
Sounds like a potential premise for re-writting a bunch of these stories.
Appropriate Silver Age Superman response: "Fine, I'll just go marry my attractive cousin!"
And move to Shelbyville
The same attractive cousin he dumped at an orphanage ? Didn't Kara suffers enough ?
Just wait until Sasha gets around to the Mighty Maid fiasco, if she hasn't already...
Edit: Also, he can't marry her because first cousin marriage was illegal on Krypton. Yes, that's the only reason he gave in a story written by one of Superman's creators.
I always look forward to Lois Lane finding new and exciting ways to enter unhealthy relationships.
Same! LOL
I love how outraged Sasha is at "He's getting a byline? Who approved that!?"
XL-49 sounds like an airplane Hal Jordan would fly during the Silver Age.
I was thinking it sounded like a clothing size, myself.
"But why tho?" It's my reaction to everything in this story 😂
We need to give Lois more comics to herself, she's more than iconic and interesting enough to have something that just keeps running as much as Superman or Action comics
Maybe. Only recent thing she had was a short mini series. She's like the temporary chief of the Daily Planet right now so idk how you stretch that out to a series with all the current superbooks.
When Futureman first showed off his powers, I thought they were going to say he was a distant descendant of Superman.
So no one's gonna talk about the problematic age gap between Lois, age thirty (?), and Futureman, age negative two hundred?
Times were different back then. Or will be one day. Or something...
Lois would be younger than that, as Pre-Crisis Superman was always 29 years old. That's according to the official timeline they settled on in the early 70s and was a plot point in a story where a hippy banished everyone 30 and over from Metropolis. Superman was finally aged up to 35 during the Death of Superman, where he stayed until they settled on the vaguely 40-something he is today.
I like Futureman's costume, very classic sci-fi, like the hero on an old science fiction magazine cover.
I love how this story pretty much confirms that the only reason Lois loves Superman is for his powers. My favorite "Lois Lane marries Superman" story may be Lois Lane 82, in which she _actually does marry Superman_ , but they have it casually annulled because it turns out he was under the influence of a hypnotic suggestion. Very surprising that she didn't put up more of a fight about that...
"only for his powers"
"annulls a fraudulent unconsenting marriage"
...what? You're saying that logic tracks?
Imma chalk that up to being "the wrong thing to do" accoding only to some alien double standard, like the ones that are usually used to suggest women SHOULD act like some kinda sociopath or Andrew Tate.
I mean, if you realize you married a hypnotized woman, what do you call the GUTS to keep her up to that promise for a lifetime? Chivalry?
She wants it to be his decision no other outside influences just his love for her honestly pretty based
@@AntonBalfe I don't disagree, it's just that she's really conniving most of the time so letting him go that easy is a little out of character
@@AntonBalfe She tries to hypnotize him when an experiment reduced him to a toddler. Lois Lane #21 I think.
"I am Future Man, I do... Future stuff, yeah, that's right."
I suddenly want Futureman to be Booster Gold's rival, always trying to one-up the guy.
At one point DC must make Alternative Action Comics Cover that parodies Superman's Girlfriend Lois Lane with Sasha on it.
"But Superman! You can't marry that woman! She's from *Toronto*!"
"Sorry, Lois. I now stand for Truth, Justice, and the Canadian Way!"
Caption: "Can Lois stop Superman from becoming...the Man of Poutine?"
"Truth, Justice, and the Canadian 'Eh?'" was there right for the taking.
Doug Ford will be a fine nemesis.
Every time see a new boyfriend for Lois I think “Okay, what’s wrong with him?”
Congrats on the cover, it's freaking awesome and aw Superman likes their status quo toxic relationship awww
Superman loses his girlfriend to Renfaire looking Superman
Ah yes…..futureman…..or what he is also knows as….the man of even further tomorrow
The Always-Two-Weeks-Away Man
@@craigh5236 😂
The Man of the Day After Tomorrow
When Xl-49 returns to his own time, does he still use the superhero name "Futureman"? Or does he go by "Presentman" in his own era?
Nowman! Currentman! Todayman!
He is still futureman, but based on the logic that he has years of advance to his contemporaries.
That is thing I've noticed looking through these old comics is Kurt did really give Lois a lot of emotion and expression.
A lot of artists from the time didn't really give her as much range as Kurt when it came to Lois, at least in the Silver Age comics I've read.
Futureman has one of the most convoluted plans we ever encountered on Lois Lane saga, and that's saying something. 😅
Honestly, "RPF shipper gets a time machine" is the most logical explanation for any bizarre scenario the Silver Age could come up with.
I am going to guess that Schaffenberger was the designer of Timber Wolfs original costume, because of the similar motif used for the shoulder rings on these here space suits.
What comes to my mind with "XL-49" as a name? I was thinking "49 XL" myself because Futureman is a Big and Tall Futureman who doesn't buy off the rack.
That's not his name, Lois, that's just the label.
I love this series so, so much. I would be sad when we finally run out of Lois's random relationship stories.
Ah yes 1958! The good old days when hundreds of vaguely Superman like guys (who aren't Superman) would line up to marry you and you could travel through space in your street clothes by putting a fish bowl on your head! It was truly a golden age.
Imagine you're the single most involved shipper in all of time and space, you go back in time to get like... Two famous ancient Romans to fall in love with each other, and you manage to get one of said romans to come to the future with you because they find you hot.
Sasha, These Lois Lane comics have become my favorite comic series just from your episodes on them
Thanks so much for sharing the story of Future Man - the crazed shipper LOL. I am so proud to see you getting recognition in the comics community. I am looking forward to getting an image of you on the cover! So cool.
Futureman: In the future, science has given me all of your powers!
Superman: wow, even my X-ray vision can't find who asked.
You definitely need to get your superhero outfit commissioned so you can cosplay yourself at cons TBH
His reaction to "if I could only find a guy like you" but she never said it in fact she been dead for years💀⚰️ 😂😂 seeing as he's from the damn future
Backed the project, I'm happy for you getting included with some of your favorite things. Almost as happy as Lois would have been with Averge Future AmeriMan Jack Wixlton49!
Futureman has potential. I'm not up on my current Supes canon so I'm not sure how to fit it in but it could be fun.
Congrats on the variant cover! Hope you're getting residuals!
It's weird seeing the early Schaffenberger art. I can see he's doing the Wayne Boring house style, but it's not quite there. It's somewhere between Boring and the later Curt Swan house style, and Superman looks exceptionally off-model in places. When he's hitting the air brakes in space he looks a lot like Beck's Captain Marvel. It's a lot more expressive and cartoony than I expect from this era of Superman, and I kinda like it. Too bad it didn't last.
My favorite comic-tuber working Dynamite? That's fantastic! I love it
10:33 "Nor has he presented his mannequins." I'm so glad that I can appreciate the context of that reference. Only here would it make any sense.
Also, I can't help but draw comparisons between this story and the Xplam one (though Futureman is a man with a plan, not a desperate loser). I also think this could easily be spun into a Eobard Thawne type scenario for Superman or Lois Lane - an obsessed historian/fan from the future who is determined to make Superman or Lois' lives go the way he wants, no matter what he has to do to make it happen. That could be interesting.
Sasha that's so awesome! Featuring on a variant cover for a new Re-Animator issue with Vampy? That's something crazy for real.
Sasha there’s another point you missed about that plague of friends , not only no Lucy ,but no Ladies at all !!! Lois according to Superman of 1958 has no Girlfriends 😳lol …Keep gifting us with the gift that keeps on giving,& your Outstanding Work 🖖🏾
XL-49 is proof that someday consumerism will get so extreme that we are just named for our clothing size.
C'est magnifique! Loved the video, adore lovelorn Lois, thrilled that the "Lois Lane Gets Married" playlist is expanding! I was very entertained by the mid-20th-century American slang-speaking, hook-on-beard wearing, time-travelling shipper. And your contagious humor and energy always take it to the next level. So fun!
Futureman's kyptonite? Math. He thinks he traveled 1K years. 😅
Ultimate meta moment: Lois sees artist Kurt Schaffenberger and... immediately falls head over heels.
Schaffenberger is also emulating Boring's more barrel-chested Superman here. Congrats on your cover and shirt!
@7:30 "I have crossed oceans of time to find you, Mina- I mean, Lois!"
re: Casually Comics variant cover: as Phillip J. Fry would say, "Shut up and take my money!" 🙂
Congratulations on the variant cover!!!
Sasha's voice for Superman has seeped into my brain, lol. Sometimes I imagine her voice when I read comics... and it only makes things funnier.
Shipping is without a doubt peak usage of time travel.
I like the cover! I guess putting the baby and kids on the cover with a space vampire and reanimated bodies could be thought as bad parenting, but that's what I wanted, hahaha!! This story Did do some set up I appreciated. I wondered why the names on the plaque didn't line up more standardly. Sloppy artist? No, plot device!
The poor man is literally named Extra Large (XL) 49 😭😂
I had a dream where I was watching this channel last night. It also predicted the future, because a movie trailer I saw in my dream releases tomorrow.
Could you please do a review of Superman's double Hyperman? It's from the thick waisted Superman days lol. It's a really good story.
And that’s only Monday in the DC universe circa 1958! Thanks for the laughs!🎯⚡️❤️
I live in Japan, so “super-yen for Lois” makes me think he’s going to lend her some money.
“Lol, he just pulls out his *super Wallet.* “can you give me change for a twenty?”
How Ancient Man LIVED! vol.6- make sure you fake beard maches your hair color
I got the death of superman 30th anniversary comic book yesterday so hyped to read it sadly I was to tired to even take the wrapping off of it 🤣😵💫 home depot will be the end of me
I think we all missed an obvious joke. Future Man is taking Lois Back To The Future!?! Great Scott!!!
Yeah, it’s heavy.
I used to know Schaff and there is no doubt that’s his work. He was a very nice man and very humble.
The thing with X-ray vision being the same as heat vision was true for a while early in the Silver Age. This must have been very early on.
Lois Lane shenanigans are back baybee
Congrats on the alt cover!
A mismatched VanDyke beard with visible strings as a disguise. I kinda feel like the writer and artist were trolling us here.
I remember reading that story ( I would have been 8), in fact I remember reading a lot of the stories you've reviewed. I ran into your blog one day and have stayed with it sense. My perspective is different from the majority of your viewers. The stories were read for enjoyment and that's it. At the ages of the average comic reader in those days, you didn't notice the loopholes in the story. You and your friends read them and talked about how good they were. I'm not complaining about your comments on the stories. I'm just saying how we looked at the comics at the time. Keep up your good work.
Some Cupid. 💘
Superman and Lois didn't officially (aka not a 'Dream Story' in the main timeline) until the early '90s, approx. 35 years after this comic took place. 😵
But now I am wondering whether you are canonically taller than Vampi!
The 22nd century is 1000 years in the future? I guess this is a dark-age Superman tale.
Note that he never says 22nd century after what. Nor do we - no one mentions Jesus when they're talking about dates even if they think the guy existed. His 22nd century might 2,200 future years after humanity established its first interstellar colony, the conquest of the Neptunian dog-men or the discovery of the zorth dimension made time travel possible.
And who knows what kind of calendar and time unit revisions were made once we weren't living solely on Earth? The years probably aren't 365 24-hour days long once you're an spacefaring civilization with populations on other worlds.
@@richmcgee434 Okey Dokey! You win! I shall quip no more (slowly backing away).
12:15 another problem solved by terrible kerning.
This is a grossly underrated comment. You win the internets today!
Sasha on the cover! Love to see it.
I think it might be good, to write a new story about, the classic character FutureMan, and I suggest having him being a MetaHuman hero, who’s from the year3012.
When did the stories where Superman and Lois are a strong couple who love each other and would do anything for each other start? Was that the 80's? 90's?
As a teen I created a character called Futureman. It was thankfully nothing like this. I've seen reworked the idea into something far cooler though. Hopefully someday I'll get to show it off.
In defense of Jimmy... If a woman is nice to you, it does mean she wants you. Every man knows that, especially us nerds.
XL-49 is his rap name.
Futureman's rap:
My name's XL-49, and I'm here to say
I "want to marry Lois" in a major way
I've travelled back in time just to win her hand
And see some jealousy from the Superman
Word to your mother
@@mortalLP phbp phbp ... phbp phbp! (beatbox sounds)
man from the future can't get a fake bear that is blond.
I can see the reboot now. Futureman, time traveling hero. He only takes up the mantle because, after yet another DC Comics reboot, Lois and Superman no longer married. Everyone ELSE might be fooled by the changes in the history books, but not Super Shipper Futureman! Now, he's out to correct timeline mistakes and get his OTP back together!
Love was quite different in 1958
Was the writer of this issue exchanging ideas with Otto Binder? The Legion of Super-Heroes, who also come from 1,000 years in the future, debuted the same year, 1958. They use the same Time Bubbles, too.
Tale as old as time, Lois will settle for you because Superman decline… Beauty and Emotional Defeat lol
I really enjoyed it that way, so I’m glad that they use that for the design. I actually didn’t realize it was you when I first saw the post so to myself I said that looks like sash In taht dope wig. The one with the songbird vibes
So when Futureman is in his native time period, do they call him Presentman?
10:04 is it me or Superman has a funny head shape lol?
1:43 That weird moment one of your favorite CZcamsrs is wearing a shirt that you own. XD
Rock that look, Sasha!
(Checking out the Kickstarter just for that.)
i like how Futureman has a secret identity in the past where he doesn't live
Man from the future? With artificial super-powers? And purely selfish reasons to become a superhero? Wearing a yellow costume?
Futureman is just proto-Booster Gold.
Futureman aka the Father of Booster Gold
"Wayne Boring", poor guy to be saddled with that surname.
"... nor has he presented his manikins..." I enjoy having seen enough of this silver/golden age tales to get that reference (just like Steve Rogers).
Congrats on the Cover/Shirt, Sasha! Looks awesome
Futureman: The Gift
I love it. Tbh, he’s basically Silver Age Booster.
Well today’s wig is Kryptonite, ‘cos it is killin it!
Kinda refreshing to see that not all blonde Supermen are automatically evil. Lonely stalkers with peep~o~vision, bad color sense, and all the disguise subtlety of Hank Venture, but not evil!
Seriously, look up Venture Bros., Russian Guyovich and Enrico Metassa. Future man was trying to be both. Good thing his guide to “ancient living” wasn’t a sitcom, or Lois would have a whole other set of things to deal with.
And Schaffenburger’s stuff was more expressive. You can almost see Lois scheming! Which is most of the time. Futureman beware.
The story sounded like it was lit
Congratulations on that cover Sasha! Finally, the comic book industry is recognising you as the Queen of Comics. Now they just need to appoint you as Chief Creative Overseer for All Comic Books, so that every comic book in the world will need your approval to be published.
On another note, it's interesting that Future Man had to use his X-Ray vision to make heat, I've read that that's what Superman used to do, which evolved into his heat vision. Perhaps you could shed some light on that, maybe in a video on the evolution of Superman's powers?
Fun with punctuation (and a misspelling): "I see but. Why..."
Actually I like the twist ending. I also like that the top left Lois head on Schaffenberger's model sheet looks like Erica Durance.
MORE I IMAGINE ABOUT A NEW VERSION OF (FUTURE-MAN) & OTHER CHARACTERS:
I imagine that FutureMan, falls in love with a descendant of Lucy Lane, and I imagine her name is (Sandy Lucy Silver).
You should remember that (Lucy Lane) is the sister of Lois Lane, and I think she should have a story of her own.
But it’s about her descendants, more specifically it’s about one of her descendants, and that is SANDY.
I imagine SANDY having orange hair, green eyes, I imagine her hight 5’12 tall, and I imagine she is the youngest scientist of her era.
Now I imagine that Sandy’s sister is four years older than her, and her name is (Melissa Lee Silver).
I imagine that Sandy’s brother is two years younger than her, and her name is (Ryan James Silver).
Now I imagine the secret I identity of FutureMan, is an account, who lives his life by a moral-code, and I imagine his hight is 6’1 tall.
To add I imagine he has dirty-blonde hair, purple colored eyes, he has a birth mark on his upper right shoulder, and I imagine before he gain his powers he won the huge Jackpot Lottery.
In addition I imagine that his birth name is (Zander Royce Gold) & I imagine he has a half sister, and her name is (Linda Autumn Gold).
Now I imagine that Zander’s half sister LINDA, she is three years younger than him, I imagine she is a Olympic Athlete, and one of her favorite hobbies is painting.
I also imagine that he has a code-number, that ZANDER goes by at his job, and his code-number is XL698.
To add I imagine that LINDA has a boyfriend who is a Millionaire, he is the grandson of a mining master, his grandfather is from Switzerland, and his name was (Gerfried Finn BluBell).
Linda’s boyfriend’s father is a computer business man, he is the third billionaire that’s in the world, and his name is (Bruno Finn BluBell).
In addition I imagine Linda’s boyfriend worked very hard, to become the millionaire he is, I imagine he has been blessed with luck, when it comes to making investments in stock.
I should mention the reason why he’s marked as blessed with luck, and it’s because he all guesses right on the product to invest in.
Plus to add I imagine he has another skill, that’s a secret one, it’s investigation, he uses it to check out any projects, he’s interested investing in, and I imagine his name is (Conrad Finn BluBell).
I suspect XL-49 is a nod to the famous Fireball XL-5.
7:05 I JUST MET YOU MARRY ME! coming on a little fast there man at least her other suitors got to know her first
9:02 where.... where Lois get her space helmet...did she or Futureman just have one lying around?
