Let's not forget one of the dumber Rogue power steals of all time



I don't have the panels, but I'm reminded of one of the cooler Rogue moments. This was early 90s. The team was fighting Nimrod and getting plastered. First, because she gets knocked out, Rogue absorbs Kitty Pride's powers (as well as her nerd analytical background voice) but then things get serious time, so with Kitty's smarts, she comes up with a plan, and grabs both Colossus' and Nightcrawler's powers. She then bamfs in, grabs Nimrod's arm, and teleports away with JUST that piece of him, tearing him apart.

That really sounds more like a Kitty Pryde moment by proxy.

One of a bunch of silly, mostly media-inspired, Ghost Riders seen in GR #33, from 2009. More can be seen in this post right here.

GR #34 in that run is straight-up Ghost Rider vs. Demon Trucker, but the art isn't quite as balls-out as this page. Suydam cover, but a really meh one IMO.

It makes me sad they couldn't make a flame mustache for Ghost Bandit. Chased by sheriff Buford T Injustice. :v:

I wasn't able to find scans, but one of the first things Doom did was create a tube-shaped force field and core out a whole bunch of redshirts.

To be fair I'm pretty sure I've seen Sue Storm threaten 'I could open up a force bubble inside you', it might even have been to Doctor Doom, and she's no problem with trashing robots etc.

It's more that she doesn't want to engage in mass slaughter that she doesn't know how to.

Yeah, it was to Doom himself in FF. Doom comes to the Baxter Building after Johnny Storm died and says something that sets the Thing off and before they start wrecking up the place Sue puts a force field between them both and tells Doom to behave or she'll put an air bubble in his brain.

In "What If Death's Head Had Lived?", Sue uses her power to explode bubbles in the villain (Charnal I believe). Unfortunately he can mimic or redirect powers or some such bullshit and when she tries it again, he blows up Thing (and maybe someone else, I can't remember) real good.


I wish I had the panels. I know What If? kills a lot of people, but it blew my mind how many mainstream heroes got wiped.

Sue is one of three characters in the MU who's the dark horse contender for most dangerous super on Earth, just in terms of who stands a chance against her one on one. If, for example, the Hand got hold of her or Kitty or Katie Power, there aren't many supers who could do anything about it.

It was Thing and Luke Cage.

The issue is awesome because it was written by Simon Furman, the guy who did the original Death's Head series and HATED that Marvel killed him off to create Death's Head II. It's written as a giant middle finger.

I'm currently reading Wolverine Origins on Marvel Unlimited, and good God, I hate the way Steve Dillon draws Wolverine. He makes Logan look like a dumpy moron.

In fact, I'm not crazy about most of this art. Is it just me, or is Dillon kind of lovely at his job?

He seems to only ever draw one type of face on his main characters, especially female ones. If they didn't have different hairstyles, any Dillon story would seem like a series of clones interacting

He's one of the worst artists working today, imo. He couldn't convey motion to save his life while I was reading his various punisher runs, and I've never seen him incorporate his characters into their environment with any kind of excitement or flair. At the same time, I do think, as others have said, that he has this kind of story-board-artist quality in that he does manage to convey what's happening pretty clearly. Odd duck for sure.

Also he at one point drew this and thought, "this is ok":

"Connor is of mixed Asian, African, and European heritage (his mother was half black and half Korean, and his father Oliver is white), and was originally depicted with Asiatic features, dark skin, and fair hair and eyes. However, this has not been consistently maintained across different artists and colorists"
