But doesn't being one of the most powerful beings in the universe increase the chances of John Constantine loving with you?

It's loving worse than Wheel of Time's adjusted skirt/pulled braid nonsense. Yeah action scenes being described sucks. Should just say then he punched a dude x1000 IMO.

When you become the most powerful being in the universe I would assume you'd also gain enough knowledge to get the gently caress away from Constantine (like the Swamp Thing did).

Nessus posted:Zatanna had to train a whole bunch in order to get good at magic, the backwards words is just her focusing device. I think she also has a nebulous focus/energy limitation so she can do anything but not everything, so to speak. There was also her 90s miniseries, Zatanna: Come Together, which revamped her powers to do away with the backward-speaking; instead, she got a magic staff and elemental-based magic powers. I'm pretty sure it was forgotten the moment the last issue shipped.

I actually far prefer the idea of Reed being genuinely perplexed that people don't get it and just wanting earnestly to help them figure it out, which ends up perplexing him more because he can't understand why everybody is getting so frustrated and angry at him. Reed: Look my 4-year-old daughter gets this, so I know you can too buddy!  Tony:  Now Doom on the other hand.... there's a dude who likes to rub it in if you don't get it.

I remember Hickman's run starting with Reed angrily yelling at a room full of scientists because they were proposing sensible solutions to humanity's problems instead of dumb comic book nonsense. I don't know what exactly Hickman was going for there but that's probably one of the most perfect encapsulations of why everyone hates Reed Richards I've ever seen.

yeah, real world physical problems generally shouldn't be problems in the mu except when some cartoonishly evil dudes (usually roxxon) deliberately cause them. if i was capable of ending world hunger single-handed at any time i wouldn't have much patience for useless academics either.

Richards might have a leg to stand on if 99% of his time wasn't spent jerking off into the Negative Zone and another 0.9% spent fixing doomsday scenarios he caused.

I think my favorite moment with Reed along those lines was some guy who was going to try to kill himself because he had cancer and was afraid of dying alone, so Reed gave him some sort of device to contact him when he's about to die so Reed can be there with him. Instead of, you know, curing his cancer or whatever.

Look if you want the FF to cure your cancer you need to be a beloved long time mailman to the Baxter Building.

One of my favorite "Reed is a dick" stories, and I don't have the faintest idea what issue or run it was, was about a scientist who had spent like his entire career coming up with a giant clunky prototype shrink ray, and one day before meeting with investors, Reed revealed a handheld, fully perfected, ready for mass production and reversible shrink ray that'd he come up with, as an addendum to a press conference about something entirely unrelated. So basically something he came up with in an afternoon invalidated another man's entire life's work.

I'm not sure if it's what you're thinking of, but there was an issue in Charles Soule's recent She-Hulk run that sounds really similar. A guy makes a shrink ray but can't get his partner/co-inventor to agree to sell it to a third party. His partner shrinks himself and hides in his yard to avoid responsibility, and She-Hulk has to find him (with help from guest star Hank Pym). When they do find him, Hank tells him the shrink ray is dangerous and unstable and the inventor gets pissed and claims Pym is trying to discredit him and dominate the shrinking industry.

Nah it's way older than that. It might've been a Marvel Adventures issue but I don't know for sure. Hank Pym isn't involved at all, but Psycho-man does get involved.
