So one of the weirder running things in the Transformers Comic Universe is that Fortress Maximus the Transformer Toy is notable for being a gigantic... battle station kind of thing that turns into an enormous robot with a normal sized transformer that becomes his head (who has, in turn, a small sized transformer that becomes the head's head). In the comics, dating all the way back to Marvel's take on the Transformers, he's just a regular sized robot guy much smaller than Omega Supreme who the physical Fort Max dwarfed. Anyway, this has been my completely out of nowhere Irrational Irritating Moment.

In IDW he has the name because he was, well, the prison warden of a supermax fortress planet. He's still a big dude, just more along the lines of Ultra Magnus or Astrotrain.

Jerusalem posted:"Why do you look like a mango?" does make a powerful argument in its favor, I have to admit. My favorite panel from that story is this  and I cannot tell you why except that "Ma'am, the hunger gnaws" has stuck with me for over twenty damned years.

I still think this is the one thing the Japanese Headmasters anime got right. The Headmasters (FortMax included) are just regular Transformers who built bigger vehicles/bodies for themselves and turn themselves into heads. So FortMax is just a regular sized Autobot like Optimus Prime and then when poo poo gets real, he turns into a head and connects to his spaceship and fights a giant robot scorpion-man.

Vincent posted:There's already a comic book Randy Savage I have this comic! When I was a little kid, my parents bought me one of those "Random fifty comics, five are any good" bundles for either birthday or Christmas, and I think I ignored/glossed over this one until I was older. Then I was shocked they did a villain whose power comes from literal cocaine.

Nessus posted:While true, it's not on like, an ongoing basis. Yes, on an ongoing basis. It's not like he's shooting up, but he's still riding on that first sweet hit. Also, I really liked in Ultimate X-Men when it turns out that Colossus turns to living steel, but that's it. When he changed, he was so heavy, he couldn't move. So he started juicing on mutant steroids, I want to say they were called Banshee, and that's why he was so, what's the word the kids use these days? Ripped? Jacked? Whatever. Point being, he'd been juicing since his teens. I thought that was an interesting take, especially given the company's historical view of basically 'mutant power awesome' or 'stupid, and you're a Morlock.' Which harkens back to Wild Cards, I guess. Or is it the other way around? TheCenturion fucked around with this message at 22:56 on Nov 14, 2016 |

Black Adam.  Black Bolt doesn't talk nearly enough for them to cast my favorite wrestler for it....I say that, but Vin Diesel happily recorded "I Am Groot" hundreds of times to make sure he got the right inflections, so maybe Rock would play Black Bolt.

Look, Shazam gave Shazam his powers, which he activates by saying SHAZAM, but only sometimes so he can call himself Shazam without becoming not-Shazam. It's simple.
