German film poster for King Kong Escapes (1967) or, as translated from the German: King Kong, Frankenstein's Son (which probably explains why Mechani-Kong dominates the poster).

Alien Vibe thought conquering Earth would be easy because Ultraman Leo was a punk@$$, but he's learning how wrong he was because--

Okay, knives and bullets and bombs don't hurt Superman, but you think head butting him will?

The villainous Tyr menaces Saturn Girl in his first appearance in Superboy (vol. 1) #197 (September, 1973).

Created by artist Dave Cockrum, Try was originally part of a group of bad guys who battled the Legion of Super-Heroes. Cockrum couldn't get the group approved by editor Murray Boltinoff, but Tyr was able to make the scene.

I always loved Cockrum's original design of Tyr, especially his sentient gun hand. Apparently, others like his design, too, as he was included in the Super Powers action figure line in the mid-1980s, albeit with a redesigned arm.

The new arm was added to the comic book character, but always looked lame to me. It certainly didn't look like it originated in the 30th Century like Cockrum's original arm.

And yes, he was named after the Norse god Tyr whose arm (or hand, depending on which version of the myths you read) was bitten off by the giant wolf Fenris.

Frankenstein Jr. and his creator, Buzz Conroy, courtesy of Steve Rude.

Just as Hanna-Barbera's The Mighty Mightor resembled Marvel Comics' Thor in concept, Frankenstein Jr. was very similar to the Japanese anime Gigantor (aka Tetsujin 28).
