What did you think of Metamorpho in the Superman movie?

You just gotta love sapphire. She stayed after rex changed like that

Both Mr. Terrific and Metomorpho jumped up on the cool factor after this movie, for sure.

Who's he?
He's the newest member of the Justice Gang, that's who he is!

I don’t know much about Metamorpho honestly. I thought he had a Thing/Frankenstein’s monster thing going on, but finding out his woman actually accepts him is a breath of fresh air.

I was born in the '60s and Metamorpho was one of my favorite comic book characters growing up. When I saw an image of him in a Superman trailer, I was stunned. Never did I expect to see Metamorpho on the big or little screen. Now my next level of never expecting to see on screen are the Metal Men 😊

Metamorpho is probably one of my favorite silver age heroes. He's leans into the real weird science that DC introduced in that time period.I'm glad that he finally got some big screen attention. The Justice League Unlimited animated series updated hisborigin while still stsying true to the character.

My first exposure to this legend was through the DCAU, more specifically, the Justice League animated series. Throughout that show and franchise, he was amazing.

When I went to theaters to see Superman, I didn’t know who Metamorpho was, but after watching this video about his comic book origins, this leads me to believe that James Gunn REALLY did his homework

I just want to bring to attention the amount of detail and hard work that was put into that comics back in the 50’s

Lex Luthor: "Brains over Brawn!" — proceeds to take hostage of child of one that can potentially be the one to to kill Superman easily and creates dummy superman.
