Man I'm waiting for the moment where one of those superheroes with long, lustrous, uncovered hair gets caught in an explosion or in a fire beam or something and is transformed into a bald person.

That happened to Thor in Ultimates 2 when Captain America and Hawkeye hit him with flamethrowers.

Comics relevant question, what exactly does Tony do after looking up faceshooter's kid?

Turns out the kid is on social media as a mugger cause he tried to mug someone for money to afford the extremis, and apparently they were really important on the internet. Tony says he will delete the photo and make it like it never happened, but the dude has to go down there and act like this was a big marketing stunt, or he will drop him from very high up.

Doom joined Norman Osborn's group briefly purely so everybody could see him standing next to a dude with the worst hair, just the worst.

Norman all trying to lay out his plans for global conquest, Doom and Namor snickering at the back of the room, wearing leather jackets and throwing wadded up bits of paper at him when his back was turned. The Hood getting upset because he was trying to study hard and not lose his scholarship.

His face was never hosed. It's just a piece of art that is so beautiful it cannot be shown all the time, perhaps a work in progress lacking the glow of unlimited power....

Imagine the "Too sexy!" Sketch from Saturday Night Live but only instead of Antonio Bandares opening a shirt button it is Doom removing and putting his mask back on.

The inside of his mask is reflective; he doesn't take it off because then he wouldn't be able to admire his reflection 24/7.

And if there's one field we know that Doom has proved his superiority in, it's getting kicked out of school.

I was curious about how much that would cost. Apparently it weighs 216 lbs:
http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Giant_Penny

With the copper % of pennies of that era coming out to about 205 lbs. Current copper price being $2.9497
http://www.kitcometals.com/charts/copper.html

Which means it'd be 205 * 2.9497 = $605

So really, cheap at the price!

The rest was Zinc which is lame and no one values that much:
http://www.kitcometals.com/charts/zinc.html

$1.0124/lb * 11 = $11.13

But to get the pound rate on Zinc you'd have be buying, like tonnes of it.

It should actually only cost you around 390 dollars to get the raw materials. Pennies weigh 2.5 grams, the statue weighs 215 pounds, all anyone would need to do is commit 39,000 counts of currency alteration.

Archie Sonic was really good at breaking the fourth wall for a while. I'm pretty sure they had a Sin City parody/homage story once. Too bad about that one guy who got all up his rear end with his super great original characters that were all traces of Knuckles.

Yeah, I know they had a crossover with Image comics where a bunch of characters show up for literally no reason.

Doe no one question that weight figure? I know it says so in the DC wiki, but that's a huge hunk of metal, and copper is heavy.

Let's say that the disc is 2 meters in diameter, and 0.1 meters thick. Then you have about 314 liter of (mostly) copper. With a density of about 9 kilos per liter, that comes out at approximately 2800 kilograms, or 6200 lbs.

If that penny only weighs 216 lbs, then it must be hollow.

Why did you work that out using litres? Mass is kg/m3 so all you need is the cubic metres and multiply that by copper's density.

Simple enough. There are exactly 1000 litres in one cubic meter. *metric rules*
Edit: and litres are a volume unit. Doesn't have to be liquid.
The main point: the 216 lbs figure is WAY off. Now let's get back to funny panels.
