I think having to rename himself "Secretary of Agriculture Doom" would hamper his villainous career.

It's always crazy to me how FAST the Marvel universe was assembled. Fantastic 4 #1 is the start of the "universe", and they're already having crossovers with the Hulk by issue #11.

Seriously, Stan Lee's creative output in that 5-year-ish period in the early 60s was absolutely nuts.
In #5 Johnny's even reading a Hulk comicbook. I like the early Marvel stuff because, as you say, they move ridiculously fast. Doom's first appearance he's already busting out the time platform, second appearance he's extorting Lee and Kirby who write the in universe Fantastic Four comic, and it takes like half a dozen issues for them to expand Sue's powers to forcefields.

I love classic Marvel illustrations, I keep expecting one of Reed's eyes to just lazily drift to one side on its own.

She wasn't a symbiote. Just a fellow mental patient supervillain with generic laser hand powers. Carnage had his own Manson Family type thing with her, Spider-Doppelganger (who has since become a dog-like pet for Carnage from time to time), Demogoblin and Carrion.

You might be thinking of Scream, the female symbiote with the big hair. Also the only major symbiote to be dead, not counting hosts.

You know who has legs? Medusa. She has legs. She knows how to use them. My cat's breath smells like catfood.

Real answer: his legs were drawn back as normal during Minimum Carnage and nobody ever explained it.

When they put everything back in the box after superior Carnage they said that as long as the symbiotie or Cassidy exist they heal each other from anything even death.

Maybe Deadpool can kill him in space again that'd be nice.

Yes. At the end of SS#30. SpOck's girlfriend was kidnapped by Goblin (as shown) and Otto realized he just didn't have what it takes to save her so he erased himself and gave control back to Parker so he could do his thing. Otto is now totally dead*

I disagree, on the basis that while that page is absolute ACES, the next page is also vintage Spider-Man.
And since it hasn't been posted here yet, I'll go do it.





Because, and say whatever you want about Slott, what he does get right about Norman is for all his bluster and rage, he's also a chickenshit heel who will run when he sees Peter start to pick up momentum. and it's always fun to see him get smacked down.
