In this episode of AI Panels, we’re diving deep into one of the most bombastic, over-the-top comics of the 90s — "Troll: Once A Hero #1"! Join us as we relive the cigar-chomping antics of Bartholomew J. Troll, a brash, larger-than-life anti-hero created by none other than Rob Liefeld. We’ll break down Troll’s outrageous WWII flashbacks, where he not only coaches a struggling women’s baseball team but also saves the world from Nazi atomic scientists. You’ll hear all about Troll’s mission straight from the White House, his chaotic infiltration behind enemy lines, and his explosive showdown at Mount Rushmore — all while puffing on his signature cigar.

But it’s not all action and heroics! We’ll explore Troll’s cocky personality, his hilarious dynamic with fellow Youngblood teammate Badrock, and how this comic encapsulates the extreme, adrenaline-fueled style of 90s Image Comics. Whether you’re a fan of over-the-top action or just looking for a nostalgic trip back to the heyday of Liefeld’s creations, this episode is for you. So tune in, grab your cigars, and get ready to meet the wildest war hero you’ve probably never heard of — because Troll’s got a story to tell, and it’s one you won’t want to miss!
