Superman (1948) is a 15-part black-and-white Columbia film serial based on the comic book character Superman.
 It stars an uncredited Kirk Alyn (billed only by his character name, Superman; but credited on the promotional posters) and Noel Neill as Lois Lane.
 Like "Batman", it is notable as the first live-action appearance of Superman on film and for the longevity of its distribution.
 The serial was directed by Thomas Carr, who later directed many early episodes of the "Adventures of Superman" television show, and Spencer Gordon Bennet, produced by Sam Katzman and shot in and around Los Angeles, California.
 It was originally screened at movie matinées and after the first three scene-setting chapters, every episode ends in a cliffhanger.
 The Superman-in-flight scenes are animations, in part due to the small production budget.
Before Ambush Bug received his own mini-series, he appeared in "DC Comics Presents" #52 and #59 as a villain, later becoming a hero in "Supergirl" #16.
 He discovered that Clark Kent is really Superman in "Action Comics" #560; revealed his origin in issue #563; and in issue #565, tried (and failed) to get Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman to appear in his mini-series.
 In "DC Comics Presents" #81 (his last pre-series appearance), he switches bodies with Superman for 48 hours.
The Mayfair Exponential Game System or MEGS is a rules system developed for role-playing games.
 The name was what fans called the game system for "DC Heroes", which was later used for "Underground" (1993).
 It is noteworthy for its use of an exponential system for measuring nearly everything in the game.
 This system makes it possible to have both cosmically-powered characters and ordinary human characters meaningfully interact within the same universe.
 For example, in "DC Heroes", the first game to use MEGS, Superman's strength is several orders of magnitude more than Batman's.
 With the MEGS system, however, this large difference in strength is scaled down.
 So, while Superman would still have a clear advantage in a brawl, Batman is at least able to hold out for a while, mirroring how superhero combat often operates in comic books.
