YMMV / The Brave and the Bold

• Complete Monster: Vol. 1 Issues #188-189—"A Grave as Wide as the World!": Martin Bormann and his son "David Phillips" are a pair of fanatical Nazis who seek to create the Fourth Reich. Years ago, during the events of Blitzkrieg Vol. 1 issue #3's "The Execution", Bormann was the second-most powerful Nazi next to Hitler himself, and Bormann personally gave the order to their army to execute any prisoners of war. This lead to the horrific Malmedy massacre and countless other surrendering soldiers being slaughtered where they stood. Fleeing Germany with his son, Bormann dispatched David as a spy to find the heinous chemical weapon Inferno A. After locating Inferno A and testing it on a lake full of animals, David murders his body double and girlfriend to fake his death. Bormann and David plan to unleash Inferno A onto the world and kill entire cities' worth of innocents, hoping for the agonizing deaths of millions to spark their new Nazi uprising. The duo even manipulate a woman into being their pawn by stealing her father's corpse, only to spitefully dump the body in a river and send her to die in the jungle when she complies.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: In Issue #30, we're introduced to a supervillain roboticist with the name Ivo. Over 30 years later, Sonic the Hedgehog introduced a supervillain roboticist named Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik.
• My Real Daddy: J. Michael Straczynski's run on the 2007 series, starting at #27, is considered by many to have been where it started Growing the Beard due to creative team-ups and rather compelling stories that could be read on their own. Many were upset that the series was cut short and the #36 issue with Adam Strange and Lois Lane was never released.
