Squirrel Girl is stuck in the past and brainstorming how to take out Dr. Doom after stealing his time machine. Some of the ideas they come up with are:






Also, Dr. Doom created his own programming language, because, of course.

God, way to be condescending, Diana. "Oh you helped deliver two children? That's nice, get out now".

Although to be fair I wouldn't want a man made of radiation hanging around any babies either

I think you mean which Power Girl had a baby, that art looks like it's from one of the more confusing DC eras regarding PG.

Although to be honest, who would you rather have as your midwife, a magical lesbian from a land where medical care probably stopped around Pliny the Elder, or a modern soldier who actually has delivered children but just happens to be made of radiation inside a special insulating suit?

Doom is Doom regardless of Reed. He just provides a convenient excuse.

Yeah, it was back during the "Power Girl is an Atlantean descendant of Arion" era, and boy howdy was it a howling dog of a storyline. It's one of those things everyone in comics has quietly kicked under the rug and agreed to never bring up again.

At least it wasn't as bad as Ms. Marvel's virgin birth story....

Popular culture has passed you by.
When I read "virgin birth" and "Atlantean" I somehow thought of this guy. His origin sounds hilarious:

Wikipedia of Wundrr, The Aquarian posted:

In July, 1951, Wundarr's ship is caught by Earth's gravitational pull, and passes through a layer of cosmic rays before entering Earth's atmosphere and crashing in a Florida swamp. An elderly couple known only as Maw and Paw observe the crash from their car. Paw considers checking out the crash site, but Maw insists that it might contain Martians or Communists and demands that he ignore it; thus, Wundarr remains in his ship for a number of years...

Oh, Wundarr was great, like just about everything Steve Gerber created. My favorite bit is when the Thing ends up being Developmentally Challenged Superman's caretaker for a while and has no idea what to do:



only to have Namorita (who'd found him unconscious once, gave him mouth-to-mouth to revive him and thought "I'd like to do this sometime when he's awake") offer to take over his, er, education:

So, she never gives the baby a name? Because that's the impression I'm getting from that article (which was good fun by the way - I especially liked the joke at Hal Jordan's expense).

That storyline was really good!



And it turns out the pie was drugged and then Joker does Casablanca cosplay. And Joker has a 80s Hollywood man-ponytail the whole time.
