Hacktivist collective LulzSec's 614 area-code phone line is answered by a recorded message from Pierre Dubois--possibly the name of the seemingly French cartoon character that's been popping up in LulzSec's online messages. You leave a message suggesting a target for a distributed denial of service attack, and if the mysterious figures behind LulzSec like your style, then they'll fire off their Net weapons. It's unexpected, risky, and seems straight out of the pages of a cyberpunk novel or the Ghost In The Shell sci-fi series (which, if we were to stereotype LulzSec, probably is something that appeals to its membership.)

Voiced by Gene Hackman and played by the square-jawed Mark Pillow from none other than my hometown of Leeds, Nuclear Man is quite possibly the worst villain ever dreamt up by Hollywood.
Everything about Nuclear Man looks cheap. The blonde locks are pure 80s, the outfit like something out of The Running Man, and the very idea of Supes being handed such pathetic opposition, considering the wealth of villainous talent to choose from in the DC back catalogue, is nothing short of a travesty. Unfortunately, so poor is Nuclear Man that his inclusion in the...
