I like the exposure they give to Molecule Man, the second most powerful being on Earth whose main concern is not missing sitcom reruns. I am certain of one thing about SW I. It was conceived explicitly as a means of hooking lots of kids on lots of comics characters which they didn't have the budget to read about before. THIS is the real reason for SW I's popularity, that kids thought they were getting a lot for their money. Never mind that the characterizations in SW I were more like character assassinations. SW II is using the same tactics, sending Mr. Beyond out into other titles. I am going to feel perfectly free to ignore his appearances in titles I don't read anyway.
