Forbush was just one of those names Stan Lee loved, along with Lumpkin, so in just about anything he wrote the name would pop up at some point. In that series the pencil-necked hero took on his most famous role, his super-hero identity , the eponymously named Forbush Man! The names, places and occupations are all straight out of SNAFU, but the connections between them are not made perfectly clear. Irving Forbush was raised in the sleepy hamlet of Forbush Village only 10 minutes from Times Square by radio!
He played with his cousins Quinten and Joe the latter of whom preferred the Italian form of the family name, DiForbushio , and often quarreled with his brother Marvin. He was often under the watchful eye of Methusaluh Fobush, a veteran believed to be over a hundred claiming to be an year-old in a year-old body. His uncles were often too busy to look after him, but homeless real estate expert Clapboard Q.
Irving grew into a fine straping young man, and toyed with becoming an artist before joining the military. Joining between wars, Irving fought most of his battles at home. Later at Heckwith U. In the company of such great writers, Irving came up with the idea for SNAFU magazine, only to have his brother Melvin Forbush lose it shortly afterwards.
Found again by Irving Forbush, a magazine legacy was born! He first appeared as Irving Forbush, a fictional low level Marvel employee, who was the butt of Stan Lee's jokes. In , Irving Forbush first appeared in Marvel's short lived, Mad Magazine aping, Snafu magazine where he received credit as the magazine's founder.
His heroic alter-ego, Forbush Man did not appear until His parents were Stan and Jacqueline Forbush and they were quoted as being disappointed because they wanted a daughter instead. Forbush Man made several appearances in the Not Brand Echh series where in spite of lacking any superhuman powers, he was able to triumph over a number of super powered foes through pure, dumb luck. Forbush Man later appeared in What The--?! Forbush Man next appeared in Nextwave , where he was a member of the New Paramounts , a superpowered team who worked for H.
This Forbush Man was super powered, and also decidedly villainous, attempting to kill the members of Nextwave. His mental powers had no effect on Boom Boom who used her powers to blow him up.
Prior the Nextwave , he had no powers, but lots of dumb luck, which was the only way be defeated enemies. In the Nextwave , by removing his helmet, Forbush Man is able to project ultrarealistic illusions of a person's personal hell into their mind.
There they would suffer until their mind could not take the pain anymore and they died. This power had no effect on Tabitha Smith who seemingly has no mind worth affecting. An unnamed individual wearing Forbush Man's trademark pot and red long johns appears on Larval Earth where he is apparently a member of that universe's version of the Fantastic Four , known as the Fantastic Fur. He wore Forbush Man's patented cooking pot helmet and red long johns.
Irving was the son of Stan Forbush and his wife Jacqueline , and he managed to disappoint them from his very first instant of existence, since they wanted a daughter, and had him instead. He found a pathetic job as an office gofer for Marble Comics , a renowned comicbook company whose chief was, of course, Stan Lee : mocked and underestimated by everyone, Irving knew he was meant for something greater, and he dreamed of becoming a superhero… albeit he had no ability nor skill at all.
Sure he was the hero people needed, Forbush Man made his public debut challenging the powerful villain known as Juggernut a dumb version of Juggernaut , and surprised everyone by defeating him. Well, he did this not exactly thanks to non-existent powers, but due to pure luck, that brought the villain to basically defeat himself. He applied for membership in the Revengers parody of the Avengers , S. Finally, he was offered membership by Sgt. In this new universe, Forbush Man unwillingly gave birth to a new supervillain, the Ironing Boar , simply by arriving, and he teamed up with Spider-Ham to defeat him… asking both the hero and the villain for an autograph for the entire battle.
After some time again, a mysterious company recruited Forbush Man who now apparently had extremely powerful mind powers , Charlie America Captain America , the Incredible Bulk Hulk and Giant-Sam Giant-Man into a brand new team, the New Paramount : Forbush Man finally had what he wanted, and he was a part of a great team… of supervillains, as it later turned out, as they were sent on Earth to battle the heroic Nextwave.
Irving Forbush is a dumb and boastful man, who however happens to be gifted by an incredible luck that ends up supporting his unbelievable claims. Either the best hero in history or the worst pretender of all time, most likely the second, Forbush Man is a living embarrassment to anyone who knows him, and for everybody else.
