In Other Media

  • Mon-El's alias, Bob Cobb, is briefly referenced in an episode of Seinfeld. "The Maestro" (a short-lived recurring character) prefers that people do not address him by his real name (Bob Cobb), instead preferring to be called "(the) Maestro".
  • The animated Legion of Super Heroes series featured a teenaged Legionnaire named Superman X, who was conceptually based on Mon-El, Kon-El, and the Eradicator, wearing an outfit with elements from all three heroes. Like Mon-El, Superman X lacked a weakness to Kryptonite and was treated like a brother by the real Superman. According to the series producer James Tucker, Superman X was specifically created to fill the role created for Mon-El after several Warner Bros. executives voiced opinions about Mon-El being "too similar" to Superman to work on a children's show.

Famous quotes containing the word media:

    The media transforms the great silence of things into its opposite. Formerly constituting a secret, the real now talks constantly. News reports, information, statistics, and surveys are everywhere.
    Michel de Certeau (1925–1986)
