Before that I think they were reverting him to his 90's era Space Hulk personality so it's a step up.

Last time I saw him he was Green Riddick, but that was circa Annihilation. Were they really backsliding him?

When Bendis picked up the series for the first Marvel NOW and before the first movie, his take on Drax basically amounted to grunting, muscles, and stabbing.

Sleepless Domain (it's a webcomic)

In this setting many girls have superpowers, which they use to fight monsters. While at school the protagonist Undine (blue-haired girl) is eating lunch with Heartful Punch, whose power is "punches things very hard".

Something I've always found unintentionally funny are vignettes of superheroes lifting weights.

You're a superhero with superpowers and can lift umpteen zillion pounds, you're telling me you have to then keep up the strength and definition, like the rest of us peasants?

It also reminds me of all those comicsvine and reddit posts about "who is stronger!! what's their power levels! doctor doom vs. goku" schoolyard discussions. Some of these are best found in those forum discussions.

Anyway. Here's Cap being a gym dick to the D-Man! (Correction by DivineCoffeeBinge - it's from Captain America v1, #402)



Some X-men being a dick to Cain Marko! (unsure, looks post-thunderbolts)



Kingpin, post-being a dick to Daredevil! (Daredevil : Born Again)



Batman isn't as fun because it's canon that he legitimately has to lift to keep up peak human physique. However -this- is from Batman Odyssey :lol:

I'm not sure how that's being a dick, given that D-Man appears to be living about 7x more weight than Cap.

I thought so too at first, but there's no way D-Man could bench 8500 on each side right? Must be 850.0. But then, 17,00 pounds is like 8 tons, and marvel wiki says he can lift 15 tons, so this should be nothing to him right? And Cap is only like 800 pounds from the wiki at peak human strength, so he should be struggling and D-Man should be way way ahead of him, so he's just joshing a much stronger dude?
:goonsay:


Silver Age stuff is full of weights, both on the covers and inside.

In my teens I tried to rock one of those and it must have sensed I wasn't strong enough to be worthy because it refused to obey me and I had to give up.

The Cap and D-Man thing bugs me, because regardless of whether or not the weights they're lifting are possible for a "peak human athlete" it's very clear that D-Man is lifting a poo poo ton more than Cap.

D-man is stronger than Cap. Cap is probably asking if D-man needs more weights because he knows what he's capable of.

maybe for one second you can pause; try to step into another person's perspective, and understand that a watermelon is cursing me



D-Man is explicitly superhumanly strong, so he'd better be lifting more than Cap.

I assume Paramount/Viacom will claim they own the concept of A Planet Named Gorn Where Someone Strong Is From, even though the comic must have come first.
