He's wavered back and forth between huge prick and antisocial but sympathetic neutral character. It basically depends on how you feel about his army of slave midgets, the moloids.



Some writers are like "They're dumb primal weirdoes and need a leader and he takes care of them" and others are like "Slavery is always wrong, gently caress the mole man."

I am pretty sure these are not moles

Jonathan Bad Writer Hickman agrees with you and went out of his way to show how much of a huge irredeemable prick Mole Man was for having yellow naked slave midgets.

But there is also a huge body of evidence of the moloids being barely dog-level intelligence and just following whoever yells loudest.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

Kind of a very niche power you gotta admit; makes sense that they're regular cops instead of Avengers or Justice League.

It never fell - it simply went underground.

Seriously, when I went to sleep I did not expect to find out in the morning that Newspaper Spider-Man will apparently have a showdown with immortal subterranean Romulus loving Augustulus, last of the western Emperors.

Most likely it's Tyrannus as he's another Stan the Man creation. Outside chance of the FF showing up towards the end of the arc to bat cleanup and tell Peter what a fuckup he is.

Called it, but I hope this doesn't mean the Hulk guest-stars. Or maybe Stan is planning a huge reunion strip of his glory days and will have the FF, OG Avengers, the Hulk, and Fin Fang Foom show up.

Anyone worth their salt knows that the Roman Empire sunk underground like Atlantis. That's why there is no Roman Empire today.
