The new Friday Night Fight tournament begins! This time it’s “Ghost” in honor of boxer Kelly Robert Pavlik, who had that nickname. Just in time for Halloween…although the Prize Fight will be somewhere closer to Thanksgiving.

And it’s only because it’s the start of a new tournament that I’m doing anything tonight. If you follow me on Twitter you know I had a little problem yesterday and my other problems are making that worse. Luckily nobody is injured or dead, so there’s that. Still, if I get a vote tonight it’s because someone agrees with me that this Hostess ad supervillain deserved a chance at full comic status.

“Ghost” round 1

The Battlefield: Iron Man in The Hungry BattleAxe! Hostess Fruit Pies ad, by way of Shogun Warriors #14 (Marvel; March, 1980)

The Promoters: Darned if I know. While someone like me would put their name on something like this nobody else who worked on a Hostess superhero ad at either DC or Marvel would.

My question is where Tony kept those. The armor doesn’t have pockets.

Sure, a well-placed repulsor blast would have done the job, but that doesn’t taste as good. But who else wants to see Battleaxe join the Masters Of Evil?
