The Electric Superman Blue era began with the storyline "Power Shift," which was published in 1997. Of all the strange transformations Superman has undergone in his entire history, none has been quite so derided as the year where his familiar costume and powers were replaced with a blue and white "containment suit" and a tenuous relationship with electricity. This week, we start with a look at the stories that led to Superman's new look, how he turned red and why Jason loves this era so much.For exclusive bonus podcasts like our Justice League Review show, GHL Extra & Marvel Club join the Geek History Lesson Patreon ► https://www.patreon.com/JawiinGHL RECOMMENDED READING from this episode► http://geekhistorylesson.com/recommendedreading FOLLOW GHL► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/geekhistorylessonTwitter: https://twitter.com/GHLPodcastFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/geekhistorylessonGet Your GHL Pin: https://etsy.me/3QEVtBl You can follow Ashley at https://twitter.com/Ashleyvrobinson or https://www.ashleyvictoriarobinson.com/Follow Jason at https://twitter.com/Jawiin or https://www.jasoninman.com/Thanks for showing up to class today.
