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!"

Mento

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?

    * Recrded distanxce with one orange mento and 500ml of diet coke.

    I would have thought that the “Candy Rack” was what he’d call his girlfriend…behind her back. πŸ˜‰
