Jessica Jones might be a legit contender for the lower brackets judging by the show, but I'm not sure how true that is in the comic universe these days.

According to Norse mythology, Thor (a) could not tell the difference between beer and ocean water, and (b) could still drink enough ocean water to change sea levels noticeably.

In Gaiman's book, he says it's mead (I'm sure it depends on translation), and notes that Thor thought it was salty. He is later given some wine which wasn't as salty.

I don't think I want to drink in Jotunheim.

I thought that Ben Grimms deal was he had an outer rocky body but human like organs. Wouldn't super booze wreck him up like it would a normal guy.

The standard translation doesn't specify at all what he's drinking and he doesn't comment on its taste, being more concerned with being emasculated by not being able to drink it in one.

I like that it's Hulking whispering into Wiccan's ear.


An event that features Earth's Mightiest Drinkers as the main heroes would be a pretty good intersection of various teams. You've got an X-Man (Wolverine), a Fantastic Four member (Thing), an Asgardian (do I have to say?), an Olympian (ditto), and... anyone else? Any beer aficionados from the Inhumans, or cosmic crowd, or magic clique? Any women characters who appreciate kicking back with a cold one? Captain Marvel maybe, or She-Hulk?

Carol is a recovering alcoholic, you monster.

Edit: Ah, I see we covered that already.

Seriously, though, you have to figure Valkyrie and Sif can pound 'em back just as well as any random male Asgardian who's not Volstagg.

Yo!
Sure, Beer Itself could be all fun and games and be just a big drinking comeption between marvel characters.

Or, it could get dark and brooding and be about Tony and Carol both falling off the wagon and spiraling out of control and dragging other people down with them in some kind of Tipsy War

Unbelievable! Tried to go out and get a simple little snack. Per usual, my BFF Former BFF finds me just what I'm looking for and lets them know I'm on my way. Like always, the pathetic little insignificant "life forms" on it raised such a stink. "Oh no. Don't eat us you giant man from beyond the stars with tiny shorts. Please go away". Whatever, no big. But then I turn around and what do I see? One of the little cretins pulled a gun on me. WTF? This looked like such a nice place, and they have to resort to guns. And where did they find an ultimate nulifier anyway? Probably for that nosy little rat fink Uatu. Well, I'm not about to get my self nullified over a bite to eat. They can keep their little dirtball. But you know what hurt the most? My former Herald took their side. What, one conversation with some blind bitch and you're too good for power cosmic? Well gently caress him. He can stay here.

Volstagg and Fat Cobra in: ROAD TRIP would be the backup story (with eventual crossover into the main) in the Fraction/Aja/Hollingsworth Ironguy/Hawkfist book.

Wolverine they cheesed once, in that he's got a buddy who's more or less Leech, and can suppress his mutant script immunity healing factor, and does so once a year so he can get completely slagged.

Alcopanel: Hercules, having managed to acquire Dionysus' pig (the skin of which turns water into wine), is indulging himself .

There's only one part of the comic Wanted that really stayed with me.

Our anti-hero Wesley Gibson is hanging out at the annual council of super-villains who secretly run the world. The last councilmember, a skull-faced man named Mister Rictus, arrives with his posse. I guess he's like half Red Skull, half Joker? Everyone's terrified of him, telling Wesley do NOT gently caress with this guy, but what with the boy's tragic past, as Rictus goes to leave, he can't help trying to get oooone dig in. Doesn't go as he plans.



The movie is essentially a completely different story, but I really wish they could have worked that line in. I think it would work well on a screen.

That's obviously Tiny Mace on the cover, not Fiery Mask, because Fiery mask is a man of mystery and action, and the Mace is a man of busting loving faces with a mace.
