All elections are actually for which Doombot you want to reign whenever the real Doom is away. The Doom Pro Tempore, if you will.

Doom then destroys the losing Doombot for not being a good enough copy of Doom to even win an election.

Doom doesn't always wear a mask, you know. He sometimes takes it off, along with his cape, and all of his armor, then dresses like a normal Latverian and sneaks out of his castle. He blends in with us, seeing how things are really going, not just taking the word of ministers and councils, seeing with his own eyes and hearing with his own ears, what is really on the people's mind. He goes to market, to beerhalls, sometimes even gets a simple manual job for a day, only to vanish the next, with no one the wiser.

There was one time he went to a movie theater. Bought a ticket, just like you or I, a normal one, not a private box. He sits down with everyone else, and as usual, before the film starts, the screen lights up and there's a reminder to buy snacks, and then a reminder to throw away what's left of snacks only the appropriate places, and finally, also a brief patriotic message: his face - well, you understand, his mask - in front a waving Latverian flag, and a tasteful thanks for his effort to advance the nation, and defend it from its many enemies.

He knows this will happen, of course. He at least dimly remembers the law which requires it, so he isn't surprised by it. But he is surprised what happens next: several people in the theater immediately stand and applaud! In fact, within a few moments, it's everyone in the theater proudly giving a standing ovation, from the youngest to the oldest - it was a family film they were showing, you wouldn't know the name of course, but some entire families were there, including grandparents - and what do you know but even some cheers too! Cries of "Hail!" and "Long may he do it!", and others such as that.

Of course, Doom doesn't cry, never! But still, in that moment, seeing his work and nature recognized, seeing this spontaneous overflowing of gratitude, he suddenly is, let's say, greatly focused on the effort of restraining his reaction...

...Seeing this, the man standing and applauding next to him leans in and whispers "You'd better join in, friend: we all hate the rear end in a top hat, but who knows who's watching us?"

edit: what a letdown

quote:

Of all the uniquely designed Batarangs in Batman’s arsenal, the one that Batman once prominently used and then quickly shelved is the fabled Batarang X. The functionality of this mysterious Batarang was used as the cover tease for its debut issue. Readers couldn’t help but wonder just what the most secret of all Batman’s Batarangs was capable of doing. As it turns out, Batarang X is the name Batman gave to a giant glider in the shape of a Batarang. Why would Batman ever need such a glider when he has a dozen more convenient ways to soar above the ground that don’t involve standing atop an unstable kite?

The bomb batarang looks like it would just fall down at his feet and explode.

The flashbulb one is a good idea, but about 40 years too early. A flashbang you can throw in a straight line and embed at head level is a neat invention after all.

...police whistle batarang? Does it whistle as you throw it? Or do you throw it to someone so they can whistle themselves?

His tongue it could not speak, but only flatter.
So I'm re-reading Uncanny X-Men from the beginning. Some if it is great, some of it bugs the poo poo out of me - Beast comes off as really annoying with how often they write him as calling someone a "Female", even though I think the intent is just to have him sound brainy. I just strap on my, "I acknowledge that some of the things I like are problematic." goggles and push through it.

This panel made me laugh out loud though.



That Marvel Method is working out great for y'all, ain't it. Good dialog/art match there.

Also, early Banshee looks a bit... rough.
