I'm pretty sure that one is supposed to be (Amazing Fantasy 15 spoilers) the guy who killed Uncle Ben

The MSJ posted:Please post panels from the comic where they meet the scared guy in the foreground of that Action Comics cover. It's from an issue of Batman/Superman where Darksied is a feeble powerless guy, Desad is lording it over Darkseid Superman is thrown into the Source Wall and Batman just has to have sex with Orion's wive since she's so smoking hot. My favourite part from the Superman section is one panel where all three Batgirls show up (Cassandra Caine, Oracle and Barbara Gordon Batgirl pushing Oracle.) It's a funny section, so I'll try and post it this weekend.

It was only implied and I suppose The Face might be gay or bisexual and was suggesting she turn into a giant penis. It was at the start of One Year Later Teen Titans. Edit: That's him!

He was briefly a Teen Titan so I'm sure he was brutally murdered off panel at some point.

At the risk of sounding creepy, I'm dying to know how the writer phrased this bit of dialogue, as well as Megan's reaction. (How do you slap a guy in the face when that's all he is? Whack him in the ribs?))

(How do you slap a guy in the face when that's all he is? Whack him in the ribs?)) Geoff Johns was writing. She punched him in uh the face, I guess, then he got angry and shot her with a uh face blast. Edit: misread it. You asked how, not who. I don't really specifically just like he said something like "Well I'm a giant face and you can shape shift so why don't you heh heh" or something.

I was gonna say that sounds like you're reading more into it than Johns meant and making it worse, then I remembered that scene from Johns' Avengers run, with Hank Pym going down on Jan.

Our very own Was Taters contributed The Face's appearance in Tiny Titans #38 on Gavok's blog, here: http://4thletter.net/2011/03/this-week-in-panels-week-78/ (scroll about halfway down) Why, there's he's almost  . I think it's the fact that his eyebrows aren't also his pecs, which breaks my brain.Edit: where are his ears?? in his armpits? every time I go back up to look at that picture it freaks me out even more.

So I'm going to hazard a guess that the Teen Titans comic books have little to no relation to the really fun show I liked when I was 13.

The Teen Titans show is about a few preteens that more-or-less like each other having fun adventures. The Teen Titans comic book is about teenagers with superpowers.
