Magneto constantly bullied and berated him. Finally, in Avengers #53, the Toad got fed up and pushed his boss into the ocean.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-82480525697027409262012-05-19T03:45:38.122+01:002012-05-19T03:45:38.122+01:00Leap Frog was a buffoon, but so was the district a...Leap Frog was a buffoon, but so was the district attorney at his trial. The prosecutor directed him to put on his spring-loaded shoes to prove that they fit him. Naturally, the villain then escaped by leaping out a window. BTW, he later reformed. In an issue of Marvel Team-Up in the early 1980's, his teenage son found the frog costume in the attic and tried to become a super-hero with it. When he offered to help an old lady cross the street, she screamed and clobbered him with her purse. Which is probably what would happen IRL.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-3421626068159291592011-03-10T23:07:49.366+00:002011-03-10T23:07:49.366+00:00I must admit it must be four or five years since I...I must admit it must be four or five years since I last read that tale.

Yes, the concept was silly, but 90 percent of comics are silly if you examine them close enough! Leap-Frog's strong point came from Gene Colon, who could draw any scene with more drama than it seemed to deserve!Boston Billnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-21130963702037986342011-01-18T21:50:00.925+00:002011-01-18T21:50:00.925+00:00I must admit I'm totally unfamiliar with Garko...I must admit I'm totally unfamiliar with Garko the Man-Frog.
