drrockso20 posted:Marvel Hercules was born a god I believe No, he was born half-god, then elevated to god status upon his mortal death. Although Greg Pak's run revealed that only the god half of his soul was elevated, while the mortal half was left to languish in Hades, but the point stands.

Baba Yaga Fanboy posted:Right at this moment, as I type this, my cat Cheeto is a few feet away from me, nearing death due to a terrible, incurable disease. He has anywhere from a few days to a few hours left. I feel heartbroken, angry, powerless in the face of this disease, while grateful for the time I've had with him, happy to have known him. This comic strikes me to the core of these almost opposing emotions, breaking my heart anew while also helping it to mend. For what its worth, you gave your friend a good life, with lots of love, affection and tasty treats, and I'm sure if he could speak he'd tell you how happy he was to have you as a friend. I can't begin to imagine what it will be like for you when he passes, but know that you've been good to him, and you gave him a happy life, and that's the greatest gift we can give to our furry companions.

OptimusShr posted:I had to put my cat down at the end of August and this hit me so hard. Same. We adopted a blind feral streetcat with one eye and gave him a life he would never have had. He learnt to trust and love humans so much. This comic hit me and my wife REALLY hard in the feels. It's crushingly sad and heartbreakingly, beautifully uplifting at the same time.

I may not be the person you are quoting but this is fantastic. I know my kitty was happy to have me. She would always perk up when I came home and held my hand many times. She was the best.

Alacron posted:I don't even like cats.  This cat you see sometimes at the top of the forums was Winston. He had to be put down last Monday at 21 years old. He had an infection that wouldn't go away and his kidneys were starting to fail. No cat I've ever been around loved people like he did. We had to rehome him after finding out our daughter was allergic (level 3 allergy) to cats. He loved his then-current caretaker until the end. I wish I'd gotten to see him one last time before the end, but I know everywhere he lived after us he got love just like he did at our house. I miss our cuddle-pig. I always will. This hit me right where he lived.

Book of Death: Fall of Ninjak The backstory: Book of Death is an event about a little kid from the future coming to the present and having a book that only she can read that explains a huge threat that's going to mess up the world. As a tie-in, various creative teams would write one-shots about how their characters die in this possible future. Ninjak is part of an Avengers/JLA team called Unity where they're all exceptional at what they do and get the job done, but for the most part, they aren't exactly on the friendliest terms. Ninjak and the Eternal Warrior usually butt heads and the Book of Death main story has them finally come to blows in a bloody throwdown. Now we see that decades later, an elderly Ninjak just hangs around in a temple, meditating all day. A corrupt AI clone of his old maybe-love-interest Livewire shows up and offers him a role in her plan to turn Japan into Asteroid M and escape Earth.

Toshimo posted:How is he holding that katana? Magnetic Robot Arm from the looks of it. The arm, elbow, forearm and wrist/hand are separate bits connected by an invisible force, probably magmatism. The wrist/hand orb 'holds' that sword. "My friend, my oldest ally and confidant, while we have argued in the past and I have many sins to repent for; but I am not long for this world and I wish to tell you this one, single truth afore we part ways, perhaps for the last time... ... You'd make the most bitchin' sensei for a rad Ninja Clan."

Does anyone have this comic? A man in a suit walks by a homless person and they recognize each other. They realize that they both have superpowers and used to fight each other. There’s no hard feelings, and the man in the suit offers to buy the homeless man lunch. They walk away, and a zoom in to one of the homeless man’s newspaper clippings reveals that he was a superhero, and the besuited man was a supervillain. It was hammy, but I liked it.

Endless Mike posted:Why even pretend to hold it when you can clearly just have it float all around? Well, it's not psychokinesis, presumably, it's just a prosthetic arm but with magnets instead of joints. I mean, it's comic books, but "a fancy arm but still an arm" would be easier to get used to than installing some sort of telekinesis-cyber-implant thing and learning how to use that. He needs to put all possible time into training his rad Ninja Clan as requested by his dead best friend and also probably spray painting the sickest wizard taking a bong hit onto the side of his van. The wizard has 'Weedomancer' written under it.

I remember arguing politics with Troy Hickman who wrote Common Grounds. It was fun, he's super libertarian. Also, didn't Ninjak have a folding sword at one time?

Ninjak definitely had a folding sword back in the original Valiant days but I can't find a pic. I must have seen it in Deathmate since I don't recall ever reading many Valiant comics.

While I'm at it, Book of Death: Fall of Bloodshot. Bloodshot's deal is that he's basically a Weapon X experiment, just in the Valiant universe. He's a soldier infused with nannites that give him a healing factor and various other abilities. He used to be a mind-wiped pawn of a secret military organization, but broke away from that. His status quo never stays static for very long and even in this one issue, he goes from being a pirate to an eskimo to a space soldier to a space king to a dinosaur hunter. By this point, he's been alive for centuries, but has always known that his end would be a violent and chaotic one because life would never allow him to know peace.
