I figure she doesn't have to remove them, she just phases them and then she can suck in more.

I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.

There's a great bit where Thing apprehends somebody and binds them to a lightpole with another lightpole all bent up, and he offhandedly mentions discovering that Thing is Jewish. Ben asks if he has a problem with that, and the villain goes....

Man why is it that whenever there's a splash page like this with super heroes chillaxing there's always gotta be an rear end in a top hat showing off their superpowers when it's not really appropriate? Like I'm sure that if Spidey had been in there he'd been hanging upside down, and Wolverine would've been cutting his sandwich with his claws, and Iceman would be full ice chilling drinks or peeing ice cubes. Why can't they just casually stand or sit down and enjoy a quiet meal?

For most heroes I would agree with you but you'd kind of expect Iceman to help out at a party. Or if it was about to rain at your BBQ and Storm was there you'd definitely be like "hey, a little help here?"

Ok yeah Bobby would be the best guy at a party, but why do they gotta have that thunder guy lighting the menorah down there? What's wrong with using matches? Wouldn't using lightning bolts just immediately melt the ax? Why is Kitty just phasing through the table? She's just eating a snack and drinking from her dixie cup!

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

JLA splash panels of dinners at the satellite or whatever may have more 'normal' activity - JLI had plenty - but they also had distinctive appearances, even between artists.

That's not really fair since they're all in civilian clothes, while I could tell you who everyone in the Hanukkah celebration is without any flagrant displays of power.

He's dressed like a hobo with a Naruto headband. Something Awful doesn't exist in that universe so everyone would know that that guy has something magical going on.

Not sure, not sure, but since that's Johnny Storm next I'm gonna guess Reed Richards and Sue Storm, Liz Allen, Jessica Drew, Gwen Stacy, Mary Jane Watson, Aunt May, Kong, not sure, Miles Morales, Ganke or however you spell that I can't keep it straight.

That wasn't me who stopped reading, and oh yeah, Bobby Drake, duh. And I've got Jessica Drew on that list, so if I placed her wrong there's still a girl unaccounted for.

Well, I dunno. When you have a superpower I imagine you just think of it as part of you and not being a power you explicitly wield. Why walk around a table when you can walk through it? Why sit in a chair when you feel more comfortable sticking on a wall? That kinda thing.

You're getting it wrong; the x-men are named after the natural shape on Doop's lower front potato.

I'd be kinda skeeved out if Kitty phased through the plate of food I was about to eat. Like even if I knew there wasn't going to be any residue or anything it still just seems kind of disrespectful. Even more so if the table happened to be at rear end-height.
