Jubilee's powers can split atoms. Maddrox's powers violate conservation of mass and energy. Hank Pym could shrink all threats to sub-atomic size easily. Vision and Shadowcat should be able to defeat everyone who isn't an energy manipulator in 3 seconds by punching them in the brain. But if writers acknowledged all this poo poo, comics would be really boring. And it actually kind of bugs me when a writer thinks it's "badass" to have a character suddenly ignore the agreed-upon in-universe limitations of their powers to one-shot a threat, because it really hurts the suspension of disbelief.

This reminds me of the animated Fantastic Four cartoon where Galactus is all set to eat the world and the Fantastic Four and guest-appearing Thor can't stop him. Then Ghost Rider fells him with a single Penance Stare, without even getting off his bike, because I guess Galactus has killed so many people having it turned back on him really hurts?

Of course, that is even weirder because I think that is the first and only appearance of Ghost Rider in the show. He just rides up, blasts Galactus, and then rides off.

I thought that while electrical signals travel at the speed of light, the individual electrons he's supposed to be riding actually go rather slowly?

Sorry for continuing the derail, but that was based off one of the Byrne FF issues, but it's Doctor Strange using a spell with pretty much the same effects. I believe it's the same issue that has Daredevil and Spider-Man sharing some popcorn because Galactus is so out of their league.

In that case it was a team-effort; Strange uses the spell then Reed knocks him over by hitting him in the face with the Thing.

The story excuse is that Galactus was so hungry and weak that they were able to take him out. I love Doc, but I don't buy it. Galactus always seems to be completely aware that he kills lots and lots of people when he eats planets, and I don't think he'd start to develop a conscience just because he was feeling a bit peckish. The guy has cosmic powers and awareness that have got to let him know exactly what's happening all the time.

If it was the panel after Spidey punked Phoenix Illyana and Colossus so the Avengers could escape, then that's entirely understandable. :colbert:

That whole issue was weird, it didn't sound like her voice at all coming out of the character. The Land art didn't help.

Namor getting it on with the lobster queen was pretty funny though

She is very unhappy/embarassed by the prospect of playing the love interest of the Amazing Lobster Man, and is keeping a smile frozen on her face so as not to offend her co-worker, as the dialogue indicates.

Please tell me they just literally sit there and share a bag of popcorn while Galactus devours the planet and that you're not just using that as an expression because I really want to see this now.

It's always worth bearing in mind that this is the same Spider-Man who thought that flying to a civil-war torn country as Peter Parker, photojournalist, would expose his secret identity; spent a week trying to explain that no he really is Spider-Man to the guard who wouldn't let him through because he didn't have a passport, only to be ultimately bailed out of the situation by Obama.
