A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, a movie called Star Wars was released. Within minutes, other filmmakers around the globe begin making their own ripoffs–er, homages! Respectful homages! High among these shameless endeavors ranks The Humanoid, and boy is it shameless (and rank). The evil Lord Graal (guy in a huge black helmet that would make Rick Moranis blush) is out to get vengeance on the planet Metropolis (which is just Earth; they started calling it Metropolis at some point, no idea why). He and his evil scientist buddy are especially focused on destroying their greatest rival… Barbara Gibson. That’s right, the powerful important futuristic protagonist taking on Lord Graal and his empire is named… Barbara Gibson. She even has a little nameplate on her space desk! Barbara Gibson!
