Best advice I was ever given?

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

Opened my eyes.

I didn't know about this and just googled it. Holy crap, that story's insane. How the hell could Marvel make him EIC, he literally worked for them under a false identity and as his real self at the same time to get around ethics policies. :psyduck:

Sounds like a secret alter-ego to me. For a man so boldly embodying a core superhero trait, it's amazing they don't promote him higher

And of course, one of the women (Batgirl) is essentially being called bitchy, and another (WW) has issues with marriage.

Female superheroes, if they don't get married by 30, they're old superpowered spinsters.

Bitchy? I had always thought that "Mr/Ms/Mrs Right Now" referred to a person that you wanted to have sex with "right now". I guess I was assuming they were calling her slutty.

It's really supposed to mean you're settling for whoever you're with or who's around. It's a harsh but really vague diss on her. Like it doesn't say what her actual issue is. Was she dating someone at the time who wasn't all that into her?

It might combo with the Dick Greyson thing since he's supposedly in denial and they were a pretty common couple at one point?

Only two contestants left! Here is Doom's chance for revenge...

I got that poster as a T-shirt for my brother when I was in San Fransisco two years ago.
Only the text was different (it was all positive/funny takes. Like the Jokers was "always be yourself" and Hawkman's said "Bird is the word.")

So I think they had a stock image and they just applied text to it. As opposed to just dragging Barbara Gordon into it to slam her.

I'll find a photo of the T-shirt.

I was reading X-Men and then it turned out a bunch of big story stuff happened in New Mutants like Magneto became the new teacher and also Storm came back (but it turned out that happened in a different book) and it all got to be too much for me so I'm reading Spider-Man for a while.

Anyway here's some stuff I saw, like Rahne's interesting taste in beauty.



but at least he's relatable







Kitty just can't stop.



Pete's pube sweater.



His master disguise.



His incredible deceptions to maintain his secret identity.





and Mary Jane just... just Mary Jane.

The context ruins it!

It's some kind of demon bear that killed her parents (but in fact ARE her parents) and comes for her too. Eventually the New Mutants destroy it in its Demon Bear realm but not before it turns two people into Native Americans because...

Also it looks like it's going to be part of the story of the New Mutants film.

Edit: Also later the two new Native Americans nearly hosed themselves to death because of Empath.
