The Amazing Colossal Man/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Memetic Mutation: "What sin could a man commit in a single lifetime..."
  • Nightmare Fuel: Glenn's half-skull face would have been nightmarish in the 1950's. Even today, it's disturbing.
  • Older Than They Think: In recent times, some have accused Glenn's accident of being a ripoff of the origin story of the Incredible Hulk -- who in actual fact didn't make his debut until five years after The Amazing Colossal Man was released.
  • Wangst: Glenn has an excuse, but it crosses the line into Narm frequently.

"What sin could a man commit in a single lifetime to bring this on himself?"
