DC Comics have a profound directory of characters. From “Animal Man” to “Detective Chimp”, these obscure superheroes are too weird to be real — but they are. Included in the “too weird to be real” list is none other than “Matter-Eater Lad” — otherwise known as Tenzil Kem. As the name suggests, Matter-Eater Lad is a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes and possesses the power to eat matter in all forms.
Recently, Matter-Eater Lad was referenced in HBO Max’s Peacemaker series, but many DC Comics fans may have overlooked the fact that this odd superhero appeared (very subtly) long before John Cena’s stand-alone TV show. In 2019, DC Comics partnered with Warner Bros. on the production of Shazam! — a superhero film based on Billy Batson/Shazam. In Shazam!, Billy Batson (Zachary Levi) befriends Freddy Freeman (Jack Dylan Grazer) and the pair experiment to discover the limitations of Shazam’s powers.
