I didn't know about this for the longest time, because Panini decided to skip over it when they reprinted Johns's run in the Avengers United magazine. I can see why.

I like Pym pretty much up to that moment. He's been okay in Avengers Academy but I had to suffer through that Scientist Supreme bullshit.

It turning out to be Loki loving with him is one giant laugh at his expense yet again, which is almost expected at this point. To the degree where I'm shocked his first response wasn't "Yeah, no, there's really no way anything cosmically important happens to me. I'm pretty sure there are about nine superior scientists to me on the Earth right now. I don't even know if I beat Stark. Who are you and what do you want from me?".

Well they did have that one page where they describe Richards and Stark as the Explorer Supreme and Engineer Supreme respectively...

And Slott was good on She-Hulk, at least until that Earth A bullshit at the end. What has he done lately that's so egregious?

Anyway, some funny panels!:

On Spider-man he has Doc Ock taking over Peter's body and Peter gets to see what it was like for Doc Ock to bang Aunt May. Also the fact his entire run has been terrible were whenever Spider-man came up an enemy he would create a new suit to beat it. Then if you go to the Spider-man thread you can find spoilers for 700 and they are awful.

I mean there's the reality that every single scientist in the Marvel setting has to deal with: Reed Richards is just better at everything than everyone else. Even breeding. His first child is functionally omnipotent, and his second child is just a smarter version of himself. If you pioneer a radical new field of science and understanding, he will be better at you at it inside a month if he wants to be. Also, unless you are Bruce Banner? He can probably kick the poo poo out of you in a straight up fight. He also managed to keep a marriage together, which is practically the most herculean feat possibly in the Marvel Universe.

It must loving suck to be a genius scientist in the Marvel Universe with Reed Richards hanging over your head. I'm surprised more people don't pull a Doom.

There was a story in the late 90s where some guy had finally finished his jankety, hulking prototype shrinking machine after nearly a decade of research, and a week before he presented it to investors, Reed Richards just casually mentioned he was putting a finalized handheld shrinking and growing ray on the market.

The guy completely lost it and enacted a very pathetic revenge plan that ended up with Psycho Man abducting him to torture him in the microverse.

Wooo, go Reed!

I can't account for Reed, but that really is the best description of Stark. He's an engineer, not a scientist. Waid is saying basically the same thing in Indestructible Hulk right now, so it wasn't actually the worst idea Slott had.

Of course the statement is made as a sort of backhanded complement which leads to a great comment from Tony.




Which of course follows from the beginning of the issue where Bruce Banner hasn't *actually* cured cancer, he's just removed the ability of vast swaths of products to generate carcinogens. Ever. So he's only practically removed large quantities of cancer from being a problem.

Based on the last two panels, I choose to believe Tony's Avengers com-card has a secret program that takes the standard com-link bust holo and draws the rest of the body in so Tony has something to ogle.

It's not rare and it'll never ever come up again except maybe to get hand waved away.

Reed Richards has solved world hunger at least twice once never got mentioned again and one where it would have cost half the world's resources to implement but would have been a permanent solution afterwards, the UN told him to gently caress off and only comeback when he had a bomb to sell.
