Major Bummer

Major Bummer was a humourous comic book produced by DC Comics in the late 1990's.

Two Alien college students (named Zinnak and Yoof) are doing their thesis on heroes in Earth culture. To further their study they send through the post EEM's or Extreme Enhancement Modules that, when opened, attach themselves to the heart of the recipent endowing them with superpowers. The main character of Major Bummer was Lou Martin who, due to the incompetence of Yoof recived an EEM instead of Martin Louis an upwardly mobile young lawyer and philanthropist. Lou recives a new muscular body that is inhumanly strong and super-human intelligence. Unfortunately because Lou is such a slacker heis only able to use his intelligence either subconciously or during moments of extreme concentration. The EEM's were also gifted to a group of supervillains and attarcted to one another in order to ensure adventures would occur.

Despite being critically sucessful and highly praised by a few devoted fans Major Bummerhad poor sales and was cancelled after issue number 15.
