The life of Ambush Bug.

I'm not going to lie to you, Ambush Bug is the best comic book superhero of all time. He's green and can teleport. I'm sure he can probably do some other things also, I dunno, but I tell you this. He is awesome.

Ambush Bug first showed up in DC comics in 1982 as a villain who announces himself on TV and kills a dude. Awesome. He's got a green suit with little bugs in the antennas that allow him to teleport. Also awesome.

Soon enough AB changes his ways and goes all superhero on all our asses, arresting litterers and smokers and shit. That's kick ass, both of those kind of people suck, and people that smoke litter are even worse! (Paul and Dana from Stumblebum both smoke like comic book reading chimneys.)

What was I talking about again? Oh yeah, Ambush Bug. Somehow he turned his own suit black (goth before his own time) and fused his bugs powers into the suit. So now he doesn't even need no stinkin' bugs anymore. Yeah! Take that bugs! What he does need is a back story. His name is Irwin Schwab, and he's just some dude who found a magic costume lost on its way to an intergalactic cleaners.

I think we can all relate to that.

Soon enough, AB switches bodies with a lesser known super hero named Superguy, or something. That's not so cool, cause I like Ambush Bug being Ambush Bug, not some no talent wannabe.

Pretty soon AB gets a sidekick Cheeks who is a stuffed toy. Cheeks gets killed, which is awesome also. The secret origin of Ambush Bug is revealed by his creators. I quote them here "We Thought Him Up". Goddamn, that's good stuff. Nobody writes like that!

Here's Ambush Bug from Lobo The Duck. Looks pretty cool, huh?

I'm not sure what else happens to Ambush Bug I think he dies or keeps living or something. I didn't actually READ any of these books, but I looked at ALL the pictures.

Well, most of the pictures.
