"There is no God! Right, Mama?"

"True."


So, Mole Man has the proportional strength of a mole right? Wouldn't that exponential ratio be worse because the mole is larger than a spider?

mole man doesn't have any super powers. he's just really good at hitting people in the shins with a stick

he is a genius and has bargain bin daredevil hearing tho

He thought himself how to fight with a stick.
He is basically like the Star Wars Kid, only in the NSM universe that makes him like the Juggernaut.

Peter, you just fought with a sentient racoon against a space robot and got shrunk to the size of an insect before that. You've also worked with Thor multiple times. The Thor. Not 'A' Thor.

And Melvin, quit being a :smug: neckbeard. You are a literal Mole Man. How do you even know about that anyway?

I think I hit terminal velocity with this storyline.

So he's magically enchanted to be unable to break a vow, except before it didn't count because he was crossing his fingers behind his back.

Imperial vow: his promise with Kala was matrimonial.

I would be looking forward to Mr T break this vow also but laws of NSM universe decree all conflict must be solved with minimal participation by Spidey. Tyrannicus actually keeping his vow for realsies this time (look we can see both his hands) is the best way to resolve this story.

tbh that would result in actual superheros turning up to kerb him, so it would still work out.

"Ahhhhh, after fifteen hundred years I'm free! It's time to conquer Earth!"

*Ten minutes later, Tyrannus is lying face-down in a crater, the Avengers and Spidey standing in a circle around him*

Cap: "Who was this guy anyway?"
:spidey:: "Oh, just a centuries-old former Roman Emperor who's been granted immortality by Merlin. You know, regular stuff."
Thor: "Thou art pulling mine leg."

Random kid, shouting from the background: "Hey Spidey, why aren't you an Avenger?"

Well he does have an army of monsters. Although that just brings up the question of how he manages to control them when the only power he is shown to have is not dying of old age.

Honestly? Probably just because he beat up Mole Man so now they have to obey him instead.

He's promised not to attack him, he said nothing about the structure they were in

it totally doesn't count if he's just sealing them under rock, he didn't attack them, just the tunnel they happened to be in at the time

If we go by the standard canon, he was banished to Subterranea by Merlin after an attempt to invade Camelot. He then discovered a cache of equipment made by the Deviants and while using it later just happened to discover the fountain of youth.

They could go in a lot of crazy ways if they weren't obviously wrapping this up nicely (in a few months). Anything involving the Deviants would be taking us on the fast road to "Jack Kirby having a wild time", which the artist would probably enjoy.

It's kind of a weird thing for Merlin to demand in exchange for eternal youth. "When you make a promise under these very specific circumstances, you must keep it for realsies! Agreed? Very well. Here is the Fountain of Youth. OK bye now."

Don't know if it helps but Merlin existing is kind of a canon thing in Marvel. Maybe this means Black Knight is coming by next, but I hope not. Because he sucks.
