Always after me Krak-A-Dooms!!

“KRAK-A-DOOOOOM!” - Sound effect designed to mimic the specific Foley effect used for lightning on the television show “Gilligan’s Island.” Popularized by artist Michael T. Gilbert’s ‘Mr. Monster’ character, it may also be rendered “Crack-A-BOOOM!,” “Crack-A-DOOOM!,” et al. but must always have three or more letter ‘O’s in the final syllable. General expression of great force exerted, as in Fig. 1.

Fig. 1 - Ultimate Thor unloads a can of WHUP@$$ in dire need of an accompanying KRAK-A-DOOOOM!

Tom Welling - Star of the CW television series Smallville. Smallville tells the story of a young man with superpowers who will eventually become Superman. In the series it is prohibited for the lead character to don the Superman costume, or go by the moniker Superboy.

Since a recent lawsuit between Warner Bros and the Siegel Estate (2004) prohibits DC comics from using the name Superboy, we here at Major Spoilers refrain from using the word as well, instead replacing the name with Tom Welling.

Variations on the theme: Tom Welling-Prime, Kon-Welling (Fig. 1), Tom Welling at Earth’s End, Tom Welling and the Legion of Superheroes (Fig. 2).

Fig 1 - Kon-Welling, in disguise to avoid copyright infringement issues.

Fig. 2 - The Legion of Super-Heroes rejecting the Silver Age Tom Welling.

That’s an interesting thought… The only problem I would have is that I don’t always remember that some of the stuff that I say needs translation for those of us who aren’t five shades of bug#@%# crazy.

Tom Welling

Since I intend to get around to ALL the Legionnaires, it will eventually be necessary to do a piece on the two Tom Wellings as well as little ‘Kon Welling’ as well, probably all of a piece. Bear in mind, however, that even I have my limits, and I may have to save the big guy for a three-day weekend. :)
