I like to believe that Squirrel Girl's strength is inversely proportional to how competent or threatening her opponent is.
So someone like Doom or Thanos falls easily to her, but White Rabbit or Paste Pot Pete will defeat her soundly. Has a book actually run with a concept like that?

She did get knocked out by a bunch of cosplay Doombots in the crossover with Howard the Duck, so you might be onto something there.

"The joke behind Squirrel Girl, created by Will Murray and Steve Ditko, is that she’s an unlikely hero who looks sort of ridiculous in her furry mammal costume, yet somehow she proves unbeatable against every dangerous villain or crazed maniac she meets. One may wonder if the gimmick has the sticking power to support an ongoing series, but it’s worked pretty well for Batman for the last 75 years."

No, he was never dead he was secretly in like a bacta tank in Arcade's hideout, so at the end his status quo of "heavily injured and out of action until someone remembers he exists" was restored.

I haven't really kept track of Darkhawk outside of his original run, but I'm glad to hear this at least :unsmith:

Why the gently caress do I like Darkhawk so much? The first comic of his I read was where Venom threw a fight with him out of pity. All of a sudden I'm actually buying comic books from the pharmacy comic rack back when those existed because "Oh hey it's that Darkhawk guy. Haha, Darkhawk can't eat a pizza."

It really is a shame he's just a mildly popular C-Lister they bring up on a rare occasion before sending him back into the abyss of "oh yeah, that's a guy who exists maybe."
I'm also a little upset I got into him so late. First I saw of his was a reprint of his origin that they threw into one of there "who the hell are all these heroes from Annihilation and War of Kings" compilations. I fell in love with the character when he first transformed, decided "Edge Man" was the best descriptor for what he became, then decided Darkhawk was better after a hobo in an abandoned amusement park saw him and called him that.

You like Darkhawk because Darkhawk is rad. Now that Moon Knight has been brought back in recent years and it looks like Cloak and Dagger might have a resurgence due to an upcoming TV show that makes Darkhawk my number one bottom tier character I want to get some love in the comics.

Agreed, Darkhawk is pretty rad. I don't think he could carry a solo book, but he should join one of the however many Avengers teams there are now.

They left him in an interesting place after War of Kings as a war criminal and him trying to destroy all the amulets, but they then decided to just never pick up on it.

You like Darkhawk because he combines the teenager issues of Spider-Man with an amulet that makes him a cyborg Iron-Man/Falcon/Wolverine alien terminator.

They picked up on it briefly in Nova's book. Though after he died, they stopped giving a poo poo about both him and Namorita altogether for several years.

IIRC, yes - he was (as usual) casually whoopassing her in the mornings with sticks - something something "normal school experience" something "never did *me* any harm" something "whippersnappers" something.
