Superman's power of flight was first introduced in the second episode of the radio series, roughly two years before the cartoons. I know; I just listened to it to confirm the claim i'd read. He's explicitly stated to be "hovering with his curious power over a highway in Indiana."
This was a really good episode, but I was confused when you said that being raised by carrion eating birds was poor training to be a U.S. senator. It sounds pretty close to ideal training to me!
That comic is ripe for a Grant Morrison reimagining where it turns out all the subsequent super heroics are all the lead characters head, following that nasty fall he took when trying to fly for the first time. Oh and the horse outfit? I was not expecting that!
Or he just plays it straight and it comes out that Black Condit stole the identity of a dead senator, ditched the body (potentially cannibalizing it) and is now a "superhero" that has more in common with the average villain than anything else.
The Yaqui native-Americans are a tribe inhabiting the western United States and Mexico. They were featured in the serial Zorro’s Fighting Legion. It’s strange Grey’s father thought that Yaqui raiders would be operating in Mongolia. Maybe the senior Grey wasn’t much of an archeologist. BTW, really enjoy your episodes.
It almost comes off as a late night jam up of Tarzan (birds taking the place of apes), and the Shadow ( Asian backdrop, assumed identity. Plus, the Shadow was known as the Black or Dark Eagle during the first world war, where he served as a pilot).
That was explained in a panel Chris showed but didn't comment on. The French hermit called him that because his hair is black. So it's still dumb, but there IS a reason.
Chris being a straight forward comics historian mixed with absolutely surreal bangers like the horse bit @ 06:56 is what keeps me coming back for new episodes of comic tropes, and going through the back log that I've missed.
I mean, if Mandal Fatal was tired, imagine Colan the Detective being a literal child for *decades* and is no closer to finding the people who transformed him. Fun stuff! XD
Within the whole august corpus of Comic Tropes episodes, probably the best line: "he was raised by birds in Asia... hardly the background required to make informed decisions on behalf of Tom Wright's constituents."
Considering Mongolia is home to the most impressive golden Eagle, an actual bird of prey used to hunt wolves makes it more of a missed opportunity to name him golden Eagle.
Every week ANOTHER great comic tropes video! Knowing that your work schedule is so hectic, can't help but give a sincere thanks for always giving me a great video to wake up to on Sunday!
Hilarious video! One small observation: the blood spurts from the Jetman footage are crearly fan-edited and not from the original cut. Jetman is actually a very dramatic series, and in my opinion one of the best Sentai series Toei has put out! :)
Noticed the peculiar comic book dedicated to Dale Arden - however, they don't mean the co-pilot or whatever of Flash Gordon. She's not on a flying spaceship - instead she's just a reporter. My Eddie sense tells me someone stole a name from someone else...
I contest Will Eisner as having put out the first graphic novel. It Rhymes with Lust was published in 1950, and even though it was called a "picture novel" it fits the bill.
Love how birds are part of a number of Superhero origins or adventures in the Golden Age. Captain Flag gets kidnapped by an eagle and trains himself to become a crimefighter. Silver Streak gets a bird sidekick that can fly at superspeed. Dr. Mid-Nite and Air Wave have bird pets. And others.
I can't lie, the more you shitted on the book, the more it made me want to seek them out . As for Lou Fine's art, thank you for bringing that to my attention,. Some of those Golden age artists are just way ahead of so many now
At around 9:26 he is holding the tail of some animal. There are 2 of them and they appear to have human heads? What the hell are those? Friggen nightmare beast, Jesus.
I love it when you spotlight old and obscure characters from forgotten publishers. One day I hope you talk about Gumbo Galahad and Hillbilly Comics from Charlton.
Love ya Chris keep it up. Your editing is so great and has so much effort put into it and along with your knowledge about the more obscure things in comics it makes you the best comic channel on RUclips
I remember that scene from Jetman being very different, are you sure the blood wasn't added into later versions because I remember it without the cartoon blood effects during the wedding scene?
Even 3 years later, I am still haunted by the horse skit. Did Chris was their running and jumping prowess? Their endurance and stamina? Or did he simply wish to be an example of a certain expression involving a horse; one made in reference to a certain part of the horse's anatomy... you know... I'm sure we all know what I mean... just like grandma used to say: "Good lord! Your grandfather is _____ like a horse!" In case anyone still doesn't get it, the missing word is educated. We all know how educated horses are. Always reading books and attending university. It's a bit of a stereotype at this point, but we all know every man secretly wishes to be the envy of other men in the locker room when he takes off his gym shorts and everyone sees how educated he is. Jeez this bit went off the rails fast.... haha
I remember Black Condor in COIE and the latter versions, but had no idea this character went back as far as it did (or was as delightfully ridiculous).
I loved the short-lived Freedom Fighters comic in the 70s. It was a lot of fun. And I'm glad you have an alternative to Patreon, considering what they've been doing lately. For those who want to read the original Black Condor stories, those early Quality comics are in the public domain and available at sites like Digital Comics Museum or Comic Book Plus. Here's a link to Crack Comics comicbookplus.com/?cid=883

5:00 A: Birds do not lactate; so if the boy were still a very young infant, he would not survive.

C: Where did he get the loin-cloth, and how does he know about clothing? D: 6:37 That fall looks like it would have either broken his neck, or his skull. E: 7:48 No one remembers their infancy.

F: 10:03-10-21 The only way that this man could look EXACLY like the Black Condor, would be if he were his long-lost twin brother (as if our hero hadn't had enough tragedy in his life). G: 11:29 If he's sleeping with the dead man's fiancé; and she doesn't know that he's not her real fiancé, that is technically rape.

Lou Fine is one of my all time favorite artists. Whenever I’m hunting for Golden Age comics he’s always on my list, but his Golden Age back issues are always hard to find these days.
I remember geof John mentioned Madam Fatal. Jsa were there are at a funeral for Sandman were Wildcat aske " Will it be like the time they buried Madame Fatal here, and no one turned up for the funeral but the touring cast of La Cage aux Folles?"[11]
I discovered Comic Tropes weeks ago and have watched so many. I love it. Could we get a video on Jack Kirby's epic AEsire saga (Thor: Ragnarok, 4th World, Eternals)? It could be a multi-episode series, like the Comic Tropes of Jim Starlin and the Infinity Gauntlet. Also, how about episodes about Denny O'Neil and Chuck Dixon, the Dixon episode showing the good, the bad and the ugly?
I prefer how The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series explained how one can fly. The trick, according to author Douglas Adams, is to throw oneself at the ground (as in falling), and intentionally miss it.
Curious if Gil Kane's Sword of the Atom riding a toad was a homage to that Lou Fine piece?And good luck fighting crime alongside Infotron as The Brown Stallion!
Richard Grey Jr aka Black Condor Birthday November 15: While on an expedition in Mongolia archeologist Richard Grey and his wife were killed by Mongol warriors leaving their infant son abandoned. An unusually intelligent race of condors nurtured the boy who eventually discovered he had the mutant ability to fly. Years later, Father Pierre a local hermit found the wounded Richard and took him in, educating him in the ways of survival and the world. After Father Pierre's death, Grey became a costumed adventurer and called himself the Black Condor, aiding humanity. Grey designed a black outfit with glider wings that enabled him to resemble the birds that had saved his life. Grey eventually came to America and after various cases there assumed the name of his look-alike Sen.Thomas Wright who had been secretly murdered by a criminal politician. When World War 2 broke out, Grey became a part of America's All Star ⭐ Squadron, ultimately choosing to join a task force recruited by Uncle Sam to help battle the Axis menace on a world without superheroes dubbed Earth 🌎 X. On this parallel planet, Grey found himself a member of the Freedom Fighters spending over 25 years at war. Finally with the help of the Justice Society of America and the Justice League of America, the Freedom Fighters ended the war, Grey journeyed with his fellow heroes to Earth 🌎 1 to fight crime but through a misunderstanding, he found himself wanted by the law. With the problems resolved, he went back to rebuild the war torn world that had become his home! Happy birthday Richard Grey Jr aka Black Condor his birthday verse is Revelation 11:15 Merry Christmas 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄 Blessings and hugs 🤗💞😂💘❤️💕🤗🙏🙏🙏🙏!
Ryan Kendell was my favorite Black Condor, but I am also a fan of 80's Hard rock & metal bands. Jon Trijulo is more of a late 90's -2005 metal kind of look. But the art style is pretty good on all of them.
13:00 well techincally, jetman was a power ranger team (well techincally jetman was supposed to the one first adapted to power ranger, but since dinosaurs became a hit due to juraasic park saban chose the following season, kyoryu sentai zyuranger to be adapted instead)
Maybe an even more unbelievable bit is an archeologist taking his wife and infant child INTO BANDIT INFESTED TERRITORY! Seriously professor, WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING???? LOL
12:08 -- My favorite panel shot in this episode, for (A) the George Perez artwork* and (B) another pair of reasons 😏 *With respect to Lou Fine and co. Honestly, it seems like Quality had the best artists of that era working for the,.
I'd be interested in your take on The Arrow (not to be confused with the TV show). Who as I understand was actually the second superhero to pop up after Superman.
"I think after say 9 month, dressing up like a Lady, less for revenge. Maybe more for you". ... Thank you Chris, that gave me the best laugh of the day. :-) And could the bottle of gin while observing horses be a nod to Bojack Horseman?
Wait, did Madame Fatal get his daughter back before he embarked on his nine year revenge scheme? Or did the mobster just raise her to adulthood while he was running around dressed like an old lady?
2:58 - That Superman animation remains as an INCREDIBLE work! Why things aren't like this anymore? Why everything has to be computer numb-nimated these days (even anime looks horrendous) ?
Happy Birthday to Richard Grey ,Jr aka BLACK 🖤 CONDOR his Birth Card is Five 🕔 of Clubs! Merry Christmas ⛄🎄 Blessings and Hugs 💖💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕!
Considering Black Condor is public domain (not the DC stuff, of course), this makes me think it would be interesting to imagine what other public domain characters you might try to cover. You could do a dual-character episode of characters with a similar premise (men dressing up as old ladies to fight crime): Madam Fatal (of course, mentioned in this episode) and Tarpe Mills' creation Cat Man. But I also think a character that only appeared in one issue would also be interesting to look at: Atomic Thunderbolt (or just Thunderbolt), a superhero with vast powers but also has PTSD and actually seems suicidal, both of with the comic treated with less-than-stellar results (brushing them aside essentially to show the superhero action). There's also Amazona, the one who seems like a Wonder Woman ripoff but came out before her.
I wonder why so many comics, movies, TV shows, and other stories use the idea of two people looking so much alike that one can replace the other. It is such a commonly used idea, yet so implausible as to be almost impossible in real life.
Black Condor
"In everyway except physical, I am a vulture"
*Steals dead mans identity and wife*
The horse alter ego has potential for a colt following.
''rim shot''
Too bad horse ninja already exists.
All 17 dislikes on this video are from a pissed horse man tribe.
Booooo
There is a heroine called Colt in AC Comics. A petite redheaded whose arsenal of weapons includes a pair of guns. No horse.
Aww no intro like " Oh, you caught me feeding my young! Speaking of raising young, here's Black Condor!"
"Oh, hi, you caught me morphing into my true form. Speaking of changing identities, lets talk about Black Condor"
@@ROBOTPETER101 AMAZING!
Superman's power of flight was first introduced in the second episode of the radio series, roughly two years before the cartoons. I know; I just listened to it to confirm the claim i'd read. He's explicitly stated to be "hovering with his curious power over a highway in Indiana."
A helicopter before a parent?
ᎶᎶ Supes!

Woah woah woah!! Don’t diss good ol‘ Bernie Sanders!
Honestly an insult to carrion birds. They do a valuable and important service to nature.
I think that Black Condor is still more qualified to be a Senator than most of our currently elected officials!
I love the episodes about goofy golden age heroes, thanks for the vid!
EvilOvercats So funny. I could watch this stuff all day!
"Mr. Condor Goes to Washington"
That comic is ripe for a Grant Morrison reimagining where it turns out all the subsequent super heroics are all the lead characters head, following that nasty fall he took when trying to fly for the first time. Oh and the horse outfit? I was not expecting that!
RighteousBrother, Morrison has already tackled both the Condor and tghe other Freedom Fighters; for example, check out the miniseries, Multiversity!
Or he just plays it straight and it comes out that Black Condit stole the identity of a dead senator, ditched the body (potentially cannibalizing it) and is now a "superhero" that has more in common with the average villain than anything else.
I've got Multiversity! Been a while since I read it - so didn't make the connection. I'll delve into it again!
@@niallreid7664 I mean it was carrion and he was raised by condors. XD
@@LupineShadowOmega Vultures don't do cannibalism.
"less like for revenge and more for you" had me laughing out loud.
The Yaqui native-Americans are a tribe inhabiting the western United States and Mexico. They were featured in the serial Zorro’s Fighting Legion. It’s strange Grey’s father thought that Yaqui raiders would be operating in Mongolia. Maybe the senior Grey wasn’t much of an archeologist.

It almost comes off as a late night jam up of Tarzan (birds taking the place of apes), and the Shadow ( Asian backdrop, assumed identity. Plus, the Shadow was known as the Black or Dark Eagle during the first world war, where he served as a pilot).
Also, the identity stealing plot is kind reminding me old Zorro film. I think Zorro steal a dying Spanish governor identity in certain film.
Who could possibly give this or any of Chris' videos a thumbs down. His videos are always amazing and are THE best comic related videos.
It's funny he's called Black Condor when the "condor" was brown, and we see his costume as either dark purple or medium blue.
That was explained in a panel Chris showed but didn't comment on. The French hermit called him that because his hair is black. So it's still dumb, but there IS a reason.
@@doctorhandsome Thanks for the info.

I think that name was already taken. By a character in a western comic. I'm just not sure if that was before or after Black Condor was created.
Captain eagle, Super Eagle, Mr Golden Eagle are good alternatives
I'm glad some one recognizes Lou Fine's art work. His art on The Ray was years ahead of its time
Of course in his earliest years that artist was known as just Lou Mediocre. Then he vastly improved.
"Okay that was an interesting experience."
I love your reviews of wierd golden age characters. All your vids are great but these are my favorites
I second this
thanks for mentioning Gai (Black Condor from Jetman). One of my favorite characters
Hilarious insanity, but holy cow, that is some great artwork!
I think what's even funnier is the fact that black condor's origin is so similar to the penguin's origin from batman returns 😂
Every week ANOTHER great comic tropes video! Knowing that your work schedule is so hectic, can't help but give a sincere thanks for always giving me a great video to wake up to on Sunday!
You are hilarious! Love your sense of humor and rewatching these videos brings me joy!
Hilarious video! One small observation: the blood spurts from the Jetman footage are crearly fan-edited and not from the original cut. Jetman is actually a very dramatic series, and in my opinion one of the best Sentai series Toei has put out! :)
Right? That makes me so sad to have him misrepresented.. I put some videos in my comment with the original footage and context.
Great detective work, Chris! Most of the time I am not familiar with the material reviewed, but I love your videos. Thanks for everything.
Nice episode. That artwork on Black Condor really is beautiful. Too bad we didn’t get Lou Fine work on some more memorable books.
Noticed the peculiar comic book dedicated to Dale Arden - however, they don't mean the co-pilot or whatever of Flash Gordon. She's not on a flying spaceship - instead she's just a reporter.

OMG the similarities to Dick GreySON/Robin/Nightwing! They even both go from green hotpants to blue/black costumes that sometimes feature red.

And that was the origin of Bojack Horseman.
more videos on the golden age, please.
( I like all your content , that's just a favorite era for me)
"How can a guy raised by birds make informed decisions as a senator?" In the Philippines, we have Senator Manny Pacquiao.
Pacquiao is a moron btw.
no one's talking about how lovely Lou Fine's artwork.
This episode was terrific, I don't mind waiting for you to post videos...
That horse costume though lmfao. Great video as always Chris, loved learning about this character's history.
Omg. Hilarious commentary. Really love your reviews of these comics. Hilarious. Thank you for uplifting vids

As Douglas Adams would've pointed out, the trick to unaided flight is to throw yourself at the ground and miss!
The Condor was a villain in the saturday morning cartoon Super President. Condor was a mutant man-condor, and (of course) could fly.
I remember Black Condor in COIE and the latter versions, but had no idea this character went back as far as it did (or was as delightfully ridiculous).
A flawed character from the beginning,that's awesome

Quality Comics is one of the greatest character stables that DC ever acquired.

That Doom Patrol cover art is brilliant.
Through the powers of Nature Documentaries... And lots of Vodka, Chris has gain the abilities of a Horse!
I love your channel. Freaking amazing that u know jetman. Maybe you can talk about ultraman or something goofy like that one day.
Maybe an even more unbelievable bit is an archeologist taking his wife and infant child INTO BANDIT INFESTED TERRITORY! Seriously professor, WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING???? LOL
Best channel ever
12:08 -- My favorite panel shot in this episode, for (A) the George Perez artwork* and (B) another pair of reasons 😏
*With respect to Lou Fine and co. Honestly, it seems like Quality had the best artists of that era working for the,.
Imagine how many kids jumped off the roof trying to fly after reading this.
Robin Williams on his inspiration for Mrs.Doubtfire: When I was young my favorite comic was Madame Fatal... ;P LOL

Love your reviews, the horseman was hilarious wil you ever do a (Wildstorm) team 7 review and/or some Dutch/Belgium comics reviews?
13:00 Admit it, you mentioned the Sentai so you could put in that clip.
Considering Black Condor is public domain (not the DC stuff, of course), this makes me think it would be interesting to imagine what other public domain characters you might try to cover. You could do a dual-character episode of characters with a similar premise (men dressing up as old ladies to fight crime): Madam Fatal (of course, mentioned in this episode) and Tarpe Mills' creation Cat Man. But I also think a character that only appeared in one issue would also be interesting to look at: Atomic Thunderbolt (or just Thunderbolt), a superhero with vast powers but also has PTSD and actually seems suicidal, both of with the comic treated with less-than-stellar results (brushing them aside essentially to show the superhero action). There's also Amazona, the one who seems like a Wonder Woman ripoff but came out before her.

I wonder why so many comics, movies, TV shows, and other stories use the idea of two people looking so much alike that one can replace the other. It is such a commonly used idea, yet so implausible as to be almost impossible in real life.
That newest Black Condor design was created by Daniel Acuña, probably one of the best designers working in comics today!
That Ms. Doubtfire sequel sounds lit.
Enjoyed this video!
I might vote for a guy with Black Condor's credentials. He certainly can play the outsider card.
LMAO at the horse sometimes you are a full ass..... Thats a compliment
So a Mongolian pakastani monk with a French name. Their a small group, but important for teaching superheros strange powers for a hundred years.
The off-beat humor is my favorite part of this series
