Some team-ups are inevitable. They just seem like a perfectly natural pairing that the universe itself could not slow down the natural synergy between a like minded pair. But some team-ups...are a little more head scratchingly arbitrary. They may not seem like a natural fit and yet great things are accomplished. This brings us to the 1987 comic book "Superman Meets the Quik Bunny"!
The story begins with a quick tease of Superman running afoul of a member of the Flash's rogue's gallery. The Weather Wizard is using his magic weather wand to make things go straight up bonkers in Metropolis.
Meanwhile, we get a "quik" introduction to the members of the "Quik Qlub" as they finish building their tree house while the Quik Bunny supervises.
Of course they celebrate with a round of chocolate milks and in the process we get a good look inside the tree house they built. It seems to have a surprising amount of sophisticated computer equipment. But before we can wonder how or why, we get a
quik expedited introduction of each of the Qlub members and their specialties:
Seems like some or all of this information might become relevant at some point. You may notice in the back of that panel that Superman is on the news on their high tech homemade tree house entertainment system.
Well, the gang sees the trouble going on in Metropolis and decided that four kids and a chocolate craving rabbit were exactly what the situation needed. So they unleashed the first of many of the secrets they built into their tree house:
Yes, the tree house these kids just built is also a helicopter. It's almost enough to make you forget about the talking bunny...and possibly Superman. But the Man of Steel, the Quik Bunny and the Quik Qlub kids finally all converge in Metropolis in time for the kids to assume they saved Superman and for Superman to tell them that they didn't.
One of the aspects of the comic is puzzles and brain teasers that pop up every couple of pages. They're a part of the story and are meant for the reader as well as the Qlub kids to solve. The answers are typically the location for where the Weather Wizard has gone. That's why one of the kids is so cocky to Supes in the last panel.
Each puzzle plays into one of the aforementioned strengths/interests of the club members so even if the reader isn't able (or willing) to decipher the clues, the Chocolate Milk Brigade will take care of it. And that's how they found out the Weather Wizard next target was...
This comic is surprisingly long with multiple altercations in multiple locations. To save time let's just say they face both puzzles and the Weather Wizard in Washington D.C. and at the pyramids of Egypt before having a final confrontation at the Great Wall of China. (Also the Qlub House turned into a blimp and boat and all kinds of other stuff.)
In addition to being able to change into various vehicles and containing state of the art computer equipment, the Quik Qlub tree house also has the ability to manufacture a facsimile of the Quik Bunny to use as a decoy to trick weather controlling villains.
And it's just that easy. After the clean up and dropping off the Weather Wizard at the local loony bin, the only thing left to do is enjoy some of that sweet, sweet Nestle Quik flavored chocolate milk.
