I know that Astronomers like naming stuff things like VISTA (Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy), a wide survey instrument, PIONIER (Precision Integrated-Optics Near-infrared Imaging ExpeRiment), a novel new system, and CACTUS (Converted Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope Using Solar-2) which is in a desert in California.

There was even proposed the OLT (Overwhelmingly Large Telescope), but that got rejected. Obligatory XKCD. Though, for this thread, it should probably also include a Thanos Telescope and Darkseid Telescope. Telescope Names http://xkcd.com/1294/

Superior Spider-Man Team-Up #10: Daredevil and Punisher are accompanying Spider-Man to his base to see if there are any traitors in his ranks and it turns out there are lots of them actually! Pretty much the only reason Frank came though is because he wants his Goblin Glider back. He stole it fair and square and then he found it missing from one of his weapon caches and he's sure Spidey's goons took it.   "It's got a loving skull on it!" Frank Castle knows how important it is to maintain a brand.

I know he used the glider during a team up with Anti-Venom before; he's had a whole array of items from various superheroes, taken from dealers who stole them and sold them on the black market, such as: 1) A replicate Captain America shield 2) Iron Man's gauntlets 3) Ant Man's helmet That's what I can recall at the moment.

I like that he even bothered to put the skull right on the repulsor. Hopefully every single arrow has a skull on it too. e: Oh God the Ant-Man helmet has the skull on it too, I just didn't catch it because of the reflective gleam. That page is glorious.

Part of me wonders 'Would he bother with the paperwork?' And I'm not entirely sure. He's law-abiding apart from the vigilantism. But that would get him arrested on the spot if he filed the forms. Hmm.

I doubt he's worried about paperwork.

Yeah, I always got the impression that Broo was only temporarily incapacitated. Considering the history of X-kids that might have been a bit naive, but it all worked out.

The look on Broo's face in that final panel is priceless. Although Stark is asking an alien if he wants to go into space.

This is why he needs Robbie Robertson, to call him on this poo poo. In fact I hope that is how the arc ends. Robbie just shows up and says,"Oh come ON Jonah!  "
