Mystique would be clever and make her face kind of implode inwards a little so people only think they punched her.

They say they're going to take him in and stuff afterwards, but they never actually check him before the issue ends and he's not been mentioned since, so I can only assume that the crippled sixty year old didn't survive the adamantium coated knuckles.

Well, Civil War was only six years ago :v:

The Origin mini-series pegged his birth to "late 19th century" so no American civil war, sorry! That's probably Weapon X programming shenanigans. He's still pushing a respectable 125 at the very least.

The FF are hiding out from Doom in Uatu's house.







And a "daww" moment to round out the issue.



There's also a great bit with Red Ghost getting beaten off fought back by the FF as he tries to take Uatu's house, but then I'd have half the issue put up here.

The slightest touch from a Gol-Shogeg will result in Instant Death!
Indeed - 1880s/90s I think is the usual estimate.

And he only fought in the american civil war in that in a brief flashback, so I'm assuming the filmmakers didn't actually think about the implications, they just wanted a set of images that would point to specific and old timeframes to say ;hey this guy's old'.

Ant Man, She Hulk, Medusa, and one of Johnny's girlfriends with a Thing suit are subbing while the normal team are on a space/time vacation in the normal book. FF(just the initials) covers the replacement team.

Since the current FF no.1

FF in this case is not an abbreviation. It is not to be confused with the Fantastic Four, Future Foundation or other Reed Richards-financed enterprise.

Basically, the Four were heading out of the universe for what was supposed to be four minutes, but they appointed replacements just in case.

Reed asks/tricks Ant Man into being his one, The Thing asks She-Hulk, since she's done it before, Sue selects Medusa and Johnnie...




It's very much worth reading, and shows up in this thread, and others fairly regularly.

I don't think it's anything. Or just a replica. Rereading it, I think Lang is just saying it's the Ultimate Nullifier so that Uatu has plausible deniability and just keeps repeating it until Uatu "gets it".

Isn't it "the" ultimate nullifier? And it's an especially great thing to threaten Uatu with, since he gave it to the FF the first time they had to make Galactus go away.



(Yes, Galactus used to wear short sleeves.)

Edit: source is Fantastic Four, volume 1, #50.

My understanding of the Ultimate Nullifier is that it can destroy anything but it will almost certainly kill the user as well. Which is why they don't just bust it out at every threat.

Yes, it is.
In his Watchery-defense, he didn't so much give it to them as provide the knowledge of it and the means to steal it from Galactus.

(Short-sleeved Galactus is barely even noticeable compared to pantless-Juggernaut)
