Sizone posted:That's a flashback to before it being submerged. I think the idea was that they would be stashing themselves underneath the playfield, which will also hing up, but it wasn't really drawn right. No matter, you still could not fit a vampire in there, regardless of what other posters think it's what they want you think. Ah, but what about half a vampire?  (Prez #4, obviously)

Anyone have those panels, or know where they come from, of Tony Stark fighting some purple guy while naked? I think the purple guy was super sensitive or something like that, because there's a great panel of him flinching from a handful of grass thrown at him. Wanna see if I can find em on marvel universe.

That's a fight between Tony Stark and the Orphan (aka Mr. Sensitive.) It happens in Peter Milligan's X-Statics series.

The purple guy is Mr Sensitive, so I assume it happened in X-Statix but I have no idea which issue.

Rereading Moore's run on Swamp Thing is inspiring me. I'm going to be a super villain, my power will be to make people relive the trauma of their origin stories over and over again. I'm mostly going to gently caress with Batman.

Batman would be all "I relive the trauma of my parents' death every day" and then would punch you.

I trapped you inside your most traumatic moment! You should be helpless!" Batman will narrow his eyes and growl, "My most traumatic moment? I never left it."

Much like how Batman's cape obscures his form and draws gunfire away from his vital organs, so too my enormous, flowing gut would distract and draw his punches away from my organs and face. I have this all thought out. If, after the first missed punch, he persisted, I would threaten him with making Kevin Smith write his flagship book again.

He could have gone with the classics and called himself "Sensitive Man". At least that is, like, a Brenda Russel song and not something people say while rolling their eyes and making jerk-off motions.

He was part of a group that had names like Phat, U-Go Girl, Anarchist, El Guapo and the kind of on the nose Dead Girl.

ecavalli posted:I can never tell if Jack Kirby hated hippies or thought they had legit magical powers. If that was a reference to the Brother Power post above yours, the Geek was created by Joe Simon, not Jack Kirby. Kirby definitely did not hate hippies. The Forever People, for example, was basically a love letter to the younger generation of that time, despite the fact that Kirby himself was in his 50s, which would normally be prime time for hating young people. To the latter point, the magic powers Kirby believed hippies had would be optimism and idealism, which just found themselves literalized in his comics in the same way that fascism is literalized in the form of the anti-life equation. A major theme of the Fourth World--and one that pulls from classical mythology as well; cf. the Titanomachy and Aeschylus's Eumenides--is that each generation learns from the mistakes of its parents and progress moves inexorably on. Orion and Scott Free are better than Darkseid, and the Forever People are even better, as they don't carry even the same prejudices that we see within the New Genesis society. Steve Ditko for real hated hippies, though.

Benito Cereno posted:If that was a reference to the Brother Power post above yours, the Geek was created by Joe Simon, not Jack Kirby. You're absolutely right. Apologies. The reason I was thinking of Kirby was that I'd recently been reading the Fourth World omnibuses (omnibi?) and like you said, a lot of it is a big, wet kiss to the idealism and aesthetics of the long-haired set.

I remember that sequence. Then again, people have also noted he wasn't much of a Sith Lord, based on his accomplishments.
