They don't talk about Pope Weed Nazi much anymore in the comics, but once upon a time back in the grim-and-gritty-just-say-no 80's he was a timely supervillain for the Justice League Detroit. Who can forget the issue where Pope Weed Nazi got Vibe and Gypsy so high that they forget how to control their powers resulting in Detroit becoming a desolate no-man's land? Only a rousing speech against the dangers of 'The Pot' from Aquaman (along with some help from his underwater friends) averted the crisis. Meanwhile, it was only thanks to the c'unning of J'onn J'onzz the Martian Manhunter, who shape changed into Pope Weed Nazi's Papal-Bong Cannon to deliver the crucial last-minute knock-out punch.

"Good job, J'onn." Grins a proud King of the Seven Seas, "You've really knocked him out - STONED -cold."

Then in the next issue half the team quit and the other half got killed by a bunch of Professor Ivo's androids or something.

It really brings a nostalgic tear to this old fanboy's eye to see this beloved if not outright forgotten character bought back to life through the miracle of Cosplay.
