Lurdiak posted:Not that it'd really fly today, but Spider-man pretty much beat the crap out of Doom the first time they met. Although I guess he might've had some more tricks up his sleeve, he did decide to leave because the FF were showing up or something. That's the one where Doom is able to track Spider-Man down to within something like a 3-foot radius but ends up capturing Flash Thompson wearing a Spidey-Suit as part of a prank gone wrong at Peter's expense, right?

Yeah, it's a great classic story. John Byrne thought the fact that Spidey was able to hold his own against Doom was unacceptable and retold the story with Peter incompetently getting his poo poo pushed in in Spider-man: Chapter One. Thankfully, only me and Rhyno remember that stupid attempt at a reboot.

Sadly I remember Chapter One all too well. Every issue ended on a cliffhanger of Spidey fighting one villain, then the next issue opened on Spider-Man in peril from a DIFFERENT villain, before returning to the previous cliffhanger, explaining how he got into peril with the new villain, then ending on a cliffhanger of him fighting ANOTHER villain, then the next issue would open with him in peril from a DIFFERENT villain etc, etc. It was such a lovely loving series, and Byrne's art was so sloppy and rushed that I have to keep reminding myself that it was him who did it and not Dan Jurgens.

This is also exactly the picture I had in mind. All Doombots must look like Doom first and foremost; costuming is secondary.

Man I am confused as gently caress. Villain forces Batman to pretend to be Bruce Wayne pretend to be Batman, and Bruce Wayne has a Bruce Wayne mask made to wear under his Batman mask. So the villain, to prove that Bruce Wayne is Batman, puts a smear of ink on Bruce Wayne's face while he's wearing a Bruce Wayne mask, so that when he takes off the Batman mask, you'll know that it's Bruce Wayne and not a Bruce Wayne mask, but Bruce Wayne has secretly put on a second Bruce Wayne mask that he was keeping in his utility belt, so when he removes his Batman mask, you see that it's not Bruce Wayne, but Bruce Wayne wearing a Bruce Wayne mask! Do I have that right?

Sockser posted:Man I am confused as gently caress. The villain Shark Marlin suspected Bruce Wayne was Batman all along, and to prove his suspicions, put a small black stain on Batman's face when adjusting his mask. Marlin made the small stain hard to notice, so it wouldn't be wiped off on purpose, and so he'd be able to ID Batman/Bruce Wayne again later, and be able to call Bruce Wayne out. It appears that Marlin saw Batman's face was Bruce Wayne's during the mask tugging, but Batman was one step ahead, aware that Marlin suspected he was Bruce Wayne. To foil Marlin, but not tip him off, he wore a Bruce Wayne mask under the Batman cowl. Under that Bruce Wayne mask, Batman was wearing the Batman cowl. And under that is the real Bruce Wayne.

Nope, it's just masks all the way down. Layer 67 is a Horsehead Mask. Bruce was feeling puckish that day.

Batman is defined as the mouth of a wormhole which has its other mouth in a universe where the curvature of spacetime has been replaced with punching. The wormhole aperture is wrapped in layers of masks and costumes, and when gravitons from our universe impinge on the wormhole, it reverberates and lets punches through into our universe. Thus, as the Flash is connected to the source of all speed, Batman is connected to the source of hittin' folks.
