You’ve met them through the Legion of Super-Bloggers feature “Hot or Not?”, which took a cast of lovely ladies with no knowledge of the Legion and asked them to weigh in on the relative hotness of every Legionnaire. But written text couldn’t contain them. Now they’ve made the leap to podcasting! oHOTmu or NOT? is half indexing exercise à la Who’s Who Podcast, half ridiculous datability arguments about the Marvel Universe’s characters as inventoried in the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe (OHOTMU) Deluxe Edition. It may not be the Marvel Universe podcast you were looking for, but it may just be the one you won’t believe you did without.

The cast will rotate a bit based on availability, but in this case you’re getting Elyse (Havana Nights), Isabel (Lip-Bomb), Nathalie (DJ Nath), Josée (Art-Girl), and Shotgun, all from the aforementioned LSB project, plus special guest-star Amélie from the MeliUltraviolet YouTube channel (for all your beauty tip needs).
