Scott must not have been that excited to bang Jean if he let a pair of glasses stop him. When I wore glasses I wasn't having much sex either but it wasn't because of the glasses. I mean, I didn't look good and the glasses were part of the look but that's Ok anyway, what I'm saying is he could maybe try harder or be more creative.

CapnAndy posted:She did it right at the start of the Dark Phoenix Saga and the subtext to that was very much "All-American good girl tries kinky sex and discovers that she's into it" (so much of Claremont's run is him unsubtly airing his fetishes, in retrospect) so... feature, not bug. And that's when he's keeping it mostly under control, or at least mitigating it with very somber storylines. When Claremont comes back on the book, kid gloves are off. Probably because you can't wear gloves when your arms are turned into tentacles.

bessantj posted:That is a most unsatisfying answer, but thank you. Mr. Sinister was originally intended to be the creation of another kid from the orphanage Scott was raised in who either had the power to do a psychic projection of a cool adult body or who subconsciously manifested Mr. Sinister as an outlet for his frustration or bad feelings or whatever—it was something like that with a superpowered kid bringing him into being. That’s also why he looks so silly: he was supposed to be a dumb kid’s idea of a cool bad guy. Anyway, probably Cyclops being the only one able to hurt him had some connection to that original idea where Sinister was some kid or former kid Scott knew from childhood.

CapnAndy posted:Oh, yeah, back in the 60s. Dark Phoenix Saga was some 20-odd years later. And it wasn't a physical inability, it was typical Mavel melodrama "alas, the woman that I love! But I cannot be with her because I'm a terrible monster or I have to be the leader or I fear my glasses slipping or whatever excuse, who cares" stuff, same as Ben Grimm moping about Alicia Masters or Peter Parker pining for Gwen Stacy instead of just, y'know, asking the girl in question if she's cool with this. I remember the Don Blake Thor identity, back when the comic started, was all "I can't confess I like Jane Foster, she doesn't deserve the love of A CRIPPLE-!" His terrible crippling deformity: he needed a cane to walk well. I wonder if there's ever been a spoof on this old trope where the pair realize almost immediately how stupid they're being and promptly start dating.

My favorite is the Silver Age Atom, where Jean Loring refuses to marry Ray Palmer because she's a successful lawyer and doesn't want to give up her career -- you know, the way a married woman is expected to.

It's a shame that the only thing I know about Loring is that she doesn't know how to get the attention of man still in love with her, and she likes to carry around a flamethrower.

I mean, gently caress, about a third of Silver Age Wonder Woman stories are the same idea but with the idea that if she marries Steve Trevor she'd have to retire from being Wonder Woman.

Then you have Supergirl and Comet, the Superhorse, and if they got married she'd have to stop being Supergirl...But for entirely different reasons.

Hey now, don't worry. Comet the Superhorse was actually a centaur from Ancient Greece who was merely *transformed* into a full horse. Also there's post-Crisis Comet the Superhorse who whew boy that is a story. ImpAtom fucked around with this message at 17:12 on Apr 12, 2024 |

I thought he was human when an actual comet would fly near the Earth (a fairly regular occurrence), a centaur as the comet was a certain distance away, and then a full horse again when the comet was too far away. What a hellish existence.

Can anyone recommend a good shop online that does pull lists, and ships them out in a timely fashion in the US? I mostly only get indies and variants I like in physical, most everything else in digital. I'd like to be able to pick and choose variants that I may not have on the pull list. I've relied on Whatnot the past year or so, but I'd like something with more reliable stock.
