Justice for Pete Ross — Clark Kent’s forgotten best friend

1 min read

Host Anthony Desiato and guest Martin Gray (Too Dangerous… Review Blog) make good on a longtime podcast promise and deliver justice at last for Pete Ross — the oft-neglected (at best) childhood best friend of one Clark Kent.

Since his Silver Age debut, Pete has served many roles: noble, silent protector of Clark’s secret; off-panel victim of Toyman & Prankster; husband to Lana & father to Clark Peter Ross; Vice President of the United States alongside Lex Luthor; and more.

With few exceptions, Pete’s value as a character has rarely been met by the stories that feature him, and the time has come to speak up for Pete and the place he deserves to occupy in the Superman mythology.
