The fresh maker
I don’t have anything bad to say about this costume, but I would pay cash money for his catch phrase to be “Watch out, boys, Mento the Fresh Maker is here!”
I hope Mento soon joins up with his villainous partners “Snicker the Satisfier”, muscle-bound “Altoid the Curiously Strong”, and the crazy-making mentalist “Almond Joy” (because sometimes you feel like a nut … ) at their secret lair, “The Candy Rack”.

Yeah, the costume’s actually pretty good (except for the hideous crotch-lines). But yeah, I’d hire somebody to come on screen for a few seconds and do a “mento” ad in that getup.

Ever get the feeling writers run low on baddies to put against the supes?
Got a laugh out of this!

I’m just wondering…
Is his ‘one weakness’* going to turn out to be getting drenched with two-liter Pepsi taking away his powers?
