Listen "Dial H for Hero - World's Finest Wednesday (Audio Version)"
Episode Synopsis
On this week's World’s Finest Wednesday issue of Bros, Foes, and Heroes, we explore one of DC’s weirdest and most creative debuts — the first appearance of Dial H for Hero! When teenager Robby Reed stumbles upon a mysterious alien device shaped like a rotary dial (yes, really), he gains the ability to transform into an entirely new superhero every time he dials H-E-R-O.
What could go wrong with powers you don’t choose, wild villains, and a transformation system more confusing than your grandma’s landline? Zach and Mike break it all down — one random superhero at a time.
