Credits
Colorist(s): "Multi" Colors
Subject Matter
Genres: superhero
Feature(s): Multi-Man
Character(s): Multi-Man II; Ice; Guy Gardner; DMV clerks; Kilowog; Fire; Multi-Woman III; Ace Morgan; Rocky Davis; Red Ryan; various supervillains
Synopsis: Multi-Man reads his obituary. It says he died heroically saving the Challengers, so he demands a retraction. Needing valid ID, he goes to the Department of Motor Vehicles for a driver's license. He sabotages the computers so Guy Gardner attacks. Multi-Man’s head falls off: he’s a robot. Kilowog finds that Multi-Man II was created when Duncan Pramble (the original Multi-Man) lost his powers. The robot thought he was the real Multi-Man. Ice thinks he’s lonely so he is rebuilt with a Multi-Woman as companion. Multi-Man II and Multi-Woman III drive off. The Challengers read about it in the paper.
