Someone should probably tell Hal that his wrists and ankles aren't made of metal.

Dr Polaris was admittedly kind of like a less imaginative version of Silver Age "I control your mind with my magnetic personality!" Magneto.

Shirley, these things happen in video games. We can't get hung up on real-world morality.

He's just borrowing from the Magneto playbook. "Magnet powers? Yeah, I can basically do whatever the gently caress I want. And what I want is DICK PUNCHINGS"

On that note, has Magneto ever punched somebody in the dick? If not, why hasn't he? Or at least make Wolverine punch himself in the balls.

I also like how Dr Polaris is about to punch Hal (in the dick) but he also has a gun.

To be fair if you had the choice between punching Hal Jordan in the dick or shooting him, you know which one you'd pick.

Leave the poor doctor alone. Clearly Hal has a steely junk and what's a man with a magnetic fist to do?

If Batman's famous punch would have been against Hal, it would have been in the dick.

It would have also made Black Canary's reaction much funnier.

My favourite thing about Ms. Marvel is all the little things in the art you can miss unless you really examine the whole thing. On this panel I love the distressed girl who has clearly brought her Math book to Media class. There's also a scene in a back alley with a bunch of lovely boxes stacked against a wall labeled "ALLEY BOXES". Definitely a book that will suffer if it loses its artist.

Now that's one relic of the Silver Age I'm very happy to leave behind. As an adopted kid it's definitely my preferred "relation" to Superman to see him as another adopted kid who sees the Kents as "his" parents for all intents and purposes, not some weird hyper-intelligent alien baby/kid who instantly understood and essentially rejected them just because he wasn't born to them. It worked in the Silver Age because DC back then didn't give much of a gently caress about continuity and weird hyper-intelligent alien baby/kid Supes was better-suited to the kind-of wackiness they wanted to tell, but while I enjoy that for what it is I'll never back that as my preferred interpretation of the character. Never ever.
