CHAMPIONS #14-15 (1977): 1st Swarm

If ever there was a villain made for an animated kids’ cartoon, it’s this one: Swarm.  He’s made of bees.  I mean, beestings hurt and all, but unless he’s alergic to them, I’m pretty sure Hercules has fought worse.  Plus, bees can’t even get close to fire so Ghost Rider should be cool.  Ditto Iceman–can they sting through frozen water?  Really it’s just Black Widow who should be vulnerable to this villain.

To be fair, Swarm has giant bees at his disposal too. The queen is a giant. And when Hercules hurls her away…

Swarm dissapates.

Yeah, the whole thing is silly but I liked it.

Iceman gets a new costume. With a “C” beltbuckle. Dude. Your team’s gonna be cancelled pretty soon.
