Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Describe Flex Mentallo here.... We can try but you won't believe it. Flex Mentallo, Man of Muscle Mystery, is supposed to be a Silver Age super-hero with a Charles Atlas Superpower that allows him to do, well, anything by flexing his muscles while simultaneously being a parody of a Charles Atlas advertisement ... the strange thing is that he's a fictional comic book character created by a young psychic named Wally Sage. Flex is then brought to life through Wally's abilities and fights crime. He meets up with the Doom Patrol, saves everyone from a telephone monster from underneath the Pentagon, and then helps, uh, destroy the Dark Age.Anyway, Mentallo was created by Grant Morrison, which explains a lot. He first appeared in "Doom Patrol" vol. 2 #35 (August, 1990). He was regularly featured in the series to 1991, before getting his own 4-issue mini-series (1996) which deconstructed and reconstructed comic books in their entirety and was about growing up, holding onto your imagination, love, hope, responsibility and realizing that, yeah, there will always be heroes... and you might just be one of them.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Go ahead, gamble that stamp. | |

All There in the Manual: As ever, interviews with Morrison shed a lot of light on the series. Among other things, the four issues represent the Golden Age, Silver Age, Bronze Age and Modern Age of comics, respectively. | |

Alternate Continuity | |
| Flex Mentallo (Comic Book) / int_450c5a85 | comment |
Alternate Continuity: Flex was originally introduced in Morrison's Doom Patrol, which is set in the main DC Universe. The miniseries, however, has no indication that it takes place in The DCU, so it appears to be set in an alternate continuity of its own. | |

| Flex Mentallo (Comic Book) / int_b593baf1 | comment |
Author Filibuster: The whole comic can be read as a long rant against the grim and gritty superhero comics of its era, and a defense of the more colourful superhero stories that preceded it. Thankfully, as Morrison is an experienced writer of metafiction, the filibuster element doesn't diminish the quality of the comic. | |
