Memo to comic book staff: We’ve used every possible premise in creating new super crime fighters, so we’re down to Toothache Man.
See, this was just a normal dude in pain, visiting a dentist with his jaw wrapped in an elastic bandage and wearing a plastic mask to keep drill spray out of his eyes, when some tainted novocaine gave him super powers.
So writers, try to use lots of dental quips when he fights bad guys, such as “Holy molar!” and “This won’t hurt a bit!” And remember his hip catch-phrase. As he takes the crooks in, he winks at them and says, “I’m afraid your plan won’t cover this!”
