And he's dead. Although they might have brought him back seeing as how they did absolutely nothing with the whole "being dead" thing.

TwoPair posted:As far as well adjusted immortals go, didn't DC One Million have Superman and Lois living happily ever after in the center of the sun or something like that? That's "and they lived happily ever after", which is narratively different from a character who's all "can't die but feelin' fly" as the story unfolds. And it's not a comic, but the guy in The Man from Earth is p. emotionally with-it, despite being older than than agriculture. Tangent here: Immortal cave man is a great archetype and I'm glad it pops up in any sci-fi/pulp setting that runs long enough.

The Multiversity had an awesome version of Anthro, who seemed to be deeply enjoying his immortality. He pulled baller moves like giving Lady Blackhawk this priceless antique gem and when she's like "dude this is literally priceless I can't accept it as a gift" he just tells her pfft, whatever, sell it to a museum then and he'll come pick it back up when the museum falls down.

Lurdiak posted:You're really bad at getting jokes. Internet man grossly overreacting to petty annoyance stopped being funny around 2007 I think? Or at least I find extensive whining about how some trend is horrible to be nearly as horrible as the trend itself. So at least we agree that epic meal time sucks. Lurdiak posted:The Watcher seems pretty down to earth. If Earth X is any indication, he's quite insane. His regular depiction seems a bit unhinged at times too. Squizzle posted:Tangent here: Immortal cave man is a great archetype and I'm glad it pops up in any sci-fi/pulp setting that runs long enough. Don't forget about Captain Marvel villain King Kull (who is not Robert E. Howard's Conan ancestor) who was either in suspended animation and thus might not count or keeps reappearing throughout history to thwart the rise of democracy, because he is just that evil.

Probably my favourite Multiversity behind Pax Americana and Thunderworld.

Just throwing this out as a special treat to all the mummy fans reading the thread. Lightning Lord posted:Don't forget about Captain Marvel villain King Kull (who is not Robert E. Howard's Conan ancestor) who was either in suspended animation and thus might not count or keeps reappearing throughout history to thwart the rise of democracy, because he is just that evil. Unfrozen Caveman is a separate, but related and at times overlapping archetype. For my money, Immortal Caveman beats it out for intrinsic awesomeness, but you could prefer the Unfrozens and welp de gustibus non est disputandum. That issue of Powers where we find out what's-his-name is an Immortal Caveman owned. I loved and still love the idea that, since the human brain has physical limits to memory, his lifetime requires constant overwriting of old memories to make new ones. Dude cannot remember his past too far back. I would like a comic featuring an immortal caveman polymath, in the Doc Savage mold, and a mummy who is an escape artist w/ eye lazors.

I think Kull is both an unfrozen and immortal caveman due to the magic of retcons or just forgetting/ignoring an origin story. Also I too enjoy monkey sex.

Vandal Savage is an immortal caveman along with Armstrong and Eternal Warrior in Valiant.

Caveman talk? I've been going through the Carmine Infantino Batman collection and got to Det #337 the other day... ... ... Can you believe the character was never used again? Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 12:58 on Feb 11, 2016 |

Kull was voiced by Michael Dorn in the Brave and the Bold and it was great.

Armstrong and bros were totally not cavemen, they lived in a city state and everything.

I still haven't ever played Chrono Trigger. I'll never play all the games. I'll never see all the movies. I'll never read all the comics. I thought all the Infinity Gems would be about equal when you were talking about it earlier but I definitely would like one Time gem please.
