little lost due to theoretical complexities of time travel, now may be the time 
to stop and go have a nice lie down instead. The subject of today's article is 
not only a time traveller but also a pan-dimensional conqueror and temporal 
schizophrenic as well*. We're talking about the man with multiple personalities, 
all of whom dress badly - Kang the Conqueror......</div>

    Fantastic Four?</a> - August 22, 2005</div><div class="text"> Ok, this one's for all the comic n00bs out there. Requests 
    have been made to spotlight the DC and Marvel big guns in this column but frankly much better writers have posted much better articles than 
    I could write on these comic book icons, so instead today you'll get the quick and dirty version on the four most recognised superheroes in the 
    world - Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and Spider-Man.....</div>

    not because of being a dedicated fanboy but for a more personal reason - Way back in 1980-'81 my parents took us kids round to see a friend of 
    theirs.</div>

    be considered the Lancelot of the DC universe. However, the origins of Hal Jordan's story start long before he was actually born, so cue the
