Ah, my apologies then dude. It felt like one of those nerd putdowns, demanding the other guy acknowledge their ignorance, when it would have been faster to just answer the question. I see a lot of gatekeeper behaviour in my hobbies, so I tend to aggressively respond to it.

First google image search result for "Reed Richards urine"



The funniest(?) part for me is that we already have entire industries devoted to creating potable water from sewage and thanks to the numerous purification processes involved the water is probably cleaner than most of the stuff we drink.

Sometimes I'm really tempted to be a sarcastic dick to people who are too lazy to do even a cursory Google search and say "Gee, if only we had the world's largest and most sophisticated free search engine at our fingertips... OH WAIT WE loving DO!"

In their defense, the search "Reed Richards Urine" can also net someone some sights that no amounts of bleach can remove.

I don't buy a whole a lot of comics, so I just kind of assumed she was a flying brick like the rest of the characters to use the name.

Yeah, it's actually kind of refreshing to see a legacy character who takes the name but has different powers from the original. Although Kamala was apparently originally supposed to idolise Mr. Fantastic and call herself 'Ms. Fantastic'.

I'm pretty sure it was the latter, then like you said, all the writers realized that was really lovely, so they retconned him as "no he was always a big dog"

Yeah, that's a lovely life. Walking around naked all day, eating, humping or peeing on whatever and licking his own crotch whenever he feels like. People just constantly coming up and hug him and giving him tasty meats and telling him he is good. A living hell, for sure.

His ability to talk was retconned into being a prank played by Karnak and Gorgon on Ben Grimm (they used a hidden radio receiver in Lockjaw's collar). True story.

He is a dog that has been Terrigen uplifted; presumably all dogs have that potential.

That the retcon doesn't make a whole lot more sense in the context of the original story, but it was one of those things that really needed to be reverted.

I swear we only recently had the 'is Lockjaw an Inhuman or a dog?' discussion in another thread.

And someone posted this link, which covers most of it.

Basically: Lockjaw is in fact sentient, whether he was originally Inhuman or Incanine is still up in the air, he's happy as the giantest dog. :smugdog:

This reminds me of my favourite thing I realised when I decided to read through some of Claremont's old X Men stuff, is that most of the people the X Men know who aren't mutants are also some bizarre comic book thing like a sorceress, or a secret alien or a clone or a ninja or something. I love the idea that comic book worlds are just chock full of this kind of poo poo everywhere. Going to any random school, there's probably at least one kid in the football team who is part cyborg because of a childhood car crash and some student teacher who had a freak accident involving a radioactive puppy and has very minor looking cute and chewing on furniture powers and it's just an accepted part of life like having a speech impediment or something.

It's partially Mike Maihack's style (he does the kids friendly comic Cleopatra in Space), partially story related.

It's a story a little girl is telling while playing with her sister's dolls/action figures. She then gets in trouble for drawing cheetah spots on her sister's Barbie, saves her sister from an attacking dog, then they play Wonder Woman together.
