SonicRulez posted:Speaking of Cap, what is it like when Magneto and Captain America interact? Surely Magneto is respectful to the man that punched Hitler in the teeth, but I've never seen it.  So, it's not dealt with with any kind of nuance, really, at least as far as Claremont goes. They address the fact that they've both got roots in WWII and move on.

There was a What If where Cap personally saved lil' Magneto from a concentration camp, radically changing his worldview. It was just a single page but it was still neat.Rochallor posted:

There's also a flashback episode of X-Men: Evolution where Cap and Wolverine liberated Magneto's camp when he was a boy.

I don't think Talia was very interested in him, but he stuck around with the League of Assassins for a minute. I think he had one of his return bouts with Azrael during that time.

CzarChasm posted:Has Ra's Al Gul ever tried to recruit Bane as a an inheritor? Yeah, that happened shortly after Bane tried to blow up Gotham with a nuke. He was Ras' number one guy for a couple stories but it didn't last too long. Talia didn't like him very much, then Batman easily defeated him in a straight fight. It was not good times for Bane as a character to basically be reduced to the muscle for a more prestigious villain.

Lurdiak posted:Oh Elseworlds syndrome, you are the worst. At the same time, Magneto was the only major character to survive that two-parter and America is supposed to be a bastion of peace, freedom and diversity by the end of the story, so maybe he chilled out. That was the same two-parter that gave us the bizarre Avengers roster of Captain America, Thor, Bearded Namor, Iron Man (Frank Castle), Hulk (Wolverine as Wendigo) and Giant Man (Sam Wilson).

Can you make a racist army that isn't evil? But yes, he's part of President Steve Rogers elite squad. And at the end of the book the US builds a statue in honour of their butts.

Not sure if this is a good place for this question but here we go: A year or so back when the terrible webcomics thread was still going someone brought up this bizarre, horrible thing about a society where people lived alongside animals (dogs, deer, etc) with human heads that were subjected to discrimination of some kind, I couldn't quite follow it. It was surprisingly well drawn which just made the human skin texture on deer all the more unsettling. There also were loads of text going into insane amounts of detail on how this world operated that no one wanted to read. I wanted to show it to my comic-loving friends to freak them out but Google searches turned up nothing. Anyone remember this thing?

So here's my question. Vibrinium ended up on Earth after a meteor crashed into it. And the biggest part landed in Wakanda and made them super great. And another lot landed in the Antarctic and that stuff disolves metal so it has a different name. And presumably smaller deposits landed elsewhere on the Earth. But everyone treats it like Wakanda is the only source for it. So my question is this... If it landed on Earth from space, presumably it came from SOMEWHERE*. So like shouldn't there be a planet of this stuff out in Space. Has anyone done a plot based on that? My other question is as rare as Adamantium is, how come Ultron can get enough of it whenever he needs a new body? My personal answer is he goes to another dimension like the Plane of Elemental Earth in D&D and mines more. * = Ignoring Earth X where Alex Ross said that Vibrinium is placenta to Celestial fetuses.

Yeah, adamantium is an alloy that's really difficult to make. Yeah, there's probably more vibranium out there, but I don't think that's ever been explored.

You need some kind of molecular rearranger to make adamantium. It's crazy.

My personal answer is he goes to another dimension like the Plane of Elemental Earth in D&D and mines more. They've decided that there's "secondary Adamantium", which is really, really hard, but Thor can smash it if he puts everything he's got into it. Most of the Ultrons that depopulated Slorenia were made of secondary Adamantium.

Yeah, wasn't there also this thing for a while where Ultron needed an internal molecular re-arranger or something like that so his adamantium body would be able to function correctly? I know there's a couple of Bronze Age Avengers stories where Scarlet Witch is uniquely threatening to him because her hex power can cause it to malfunction.

Once adamantium is set, it can't move again without that sort of device, which is why Wolverine's bones are just "laced" with admantium or else they'd have no flexibility and he'd be a clumsy motherfucker. There was also the time Wonder Man smashed Ultron into the floor over and over until his internal non-adamantium parts just shook apart. So even with an internal molecular rearranger, he needs some other components.

I was ordering my Bendis Avengers collection, getting it ready to be sent off for binding, and I noticed that I'm missing Giant Sized Spider-Woman. Is there anything in the new 8-page story ("Choices") in there that's isn't just echoed in Spider-Woman Origins and New Avengers #14-15? Trying to decide if I'm anal enough to track down a copy of it for inclusion.

One last post about Adamantium before we hopefully go back to Vibrinium. After Wolverine got his metal sucked out, he went researching the origins of it. In like Wolverine #78 the scientist said that once Adamantium is bonded to a skeleton the process turns it into Adamantium Beta which has different properties to the original metal. It never said what those properties are but I always took that as why Wolverine's claws could do things that even a sword of Adamantium couldn't.

I don't know how you guys think joints work but even if every bone was 100% coated in adamantium you'd still be flexible and you'd still be able to lose a limb. The question would be how do you 100% coat a bone with metal without completely removing it from the body, fusing it to the adjacent bone or accidentally coating a ligament with it but Comic Book Science. I always thought it was extremely hosed up when Wolverine would get so tore up you could see his shiny skull peeking out or some poo poo.

The other question would be, how does inter-bone transfer work, like minerals and red blood cells if the bone is coated in an impermeable layer.

Scaramouche posted:The other question would be, how does inter-bone transfer work, like minerals and red blood cells if the bone is coated in an impermeable layer. It doesn't, which is why when you turn off Wolverine's healing factor he begins to die. That is to say, his healing factor (somehow) accounts for the failure of inter-bone transfer.
