Larry King is like a superhero himself, but instead of a cape and cowl, his power comes from his suspenders and glasses. Truly, he belongs here on Nerdist and on YouTube’s Geek Week. The television icon and host of Hulu’s Larry King NOW is also a pretty enormous fan of comic books, and he’s here to offer us a list of his ten favorite superheroes of all time. His first two choices, Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon, if you aren’t aware, are pulp heroes of space opera books. Didn’t know you’d be getting cultured, did you?

Watch more of Larry King and keep it tuned to our Geek Week festivities on the Nerdist Channel.
