I would have loved if the 90s had bequeathed us a whole genre of "X Kills the Marvel Universe". As it stands, there's just a few What Ifs, the abominable Punisher one, the Squirrel Girl parody of it, the Deadpool one, and some issue I recall from my misspent youth that opened with a guy playing a virtual reality game where he brutally murders all the heroes and then maybe Carnage shows up? A comic of one panel jokes would probably suffice, honestly--Aunt May Kills the Marvel Universe and then the artist gets freedom on what to depict.

That's never really applied, otherwise concussions would be such a worse problem.

Given that the whole point of the story is that his awareness literally breaches the boundaries of his existence as a comic character...

A Death who was also a badguy named Lazar (or something similar) and, if he defeated him, got to come back to life no matter how stupidly he died.

Might have involved Damage Control turning out to be evil.

One of my earliest exposures to Lobo was as a kid looking at a friend's L.E.G.I.O.N. issue, and a scene where like he gets this nasty cut with bleeding and everyone's all "uh oh", with the next page being the room suddenly being overflowing with Lobos.

IIRC, the insta-cloning from a drop of blood thing was due to the nature of being a Czarnian, I think his whole race could do that. At least up until he committed genocide with a plague of scorpions or something. Eventually Vril Dox genetically removed his ability to clone.

Now I'm imagining Deadpool's consciousness working on the same principle as homeopathy, which would probably be a good explanation for his mental state.

He's lost his memory a couple times due to massive physical trauma (though one of those was Agent X and I didn't finish it so I don't remember if that one is Deadpool or not).

Agent X was a mook that was with Deadpool when he invaded the Big Bad's house and got his mind jumbled. The mook was knocked out and landed on his face on the fireplace grill thingy - so that's why he had the X - and lost his memories. Deadpool reverted to an - even more - infantile state and disappeared for most of the run.

Creator rights and pay changed over time. Comics “creation” is pretty nebulous though. Kirby and Lee created the X-Men, but their X-Men were terrible and nobody wanted to read about them. Then you had guys like Werner Roth and Arnold Drake working on the book for many issues, but they were still terrible and nobody wanted to read about them. Then you had people write actual good books and do interesting things with the characters. It’s not often you can point to a character and a single creative team and say “they did it”. Kirby and Lee on Thor and FF are some of the best examples from back then I can think of, but most other books take time and a few creator iterations to really hit their stride.

There's absolutely no way to make sense of the continuity of the X-films so I wouldn't worry about that, but I'm glad to find out I was correct about everyone being in more than one film.

Ghostlight posted:I believe the distinction Jordan7hm was making though was that, yes, they certainly created those characters in terms of being the ones to make an image and put a name to it, but big two comics are inevitably a collaborative venture and those characters aren't just an image and a name - they are the sum value of all the stories told of them. Kirby and Lee's X-Men aren't in multiple films - Marvel's X-Men are. X-Men isn't the best example, since a lot of their popularity comes from Claremont's run, but my original example was Lee/Ditko Spider-Man and the DNA of that is painted large across every single movie.
