I am 100% certain the Mark Of thing was the subject of one of the earliest major arguments in the pre BSS comic book thread. I will freely admit that I didn't get it until that discussion.

All I'm saying is that you can't name your kid "Otto Octavious" and NOT expect him to become an octopus-themed villain.

Any talk of marvel naming can't be complete without mentioning good old Turner D. Century. Which he apparently chose for himself from a quick google.

The saddest villain ever - he rode around on a flying bicycle built for two but because he had no friends the second seat was occupied by a mannequin in a dress and hat. Still, what can you expect of a villain with the amazing superpower of hating young people?

How fortunate is it that the Sorcerer Supreme in his Sanctum Santorum is name Stephen Strange? Imagine if he had a more traditional doctor's name. Sorcerer Supreme, Doctor Allan Goldstein.

Wheat Loaf posted:I think the worst or at least most pointless secret identity is Prince Adam, because a) Prince Adam and He-Man look identical anyway; b) there's no need to protect his loved ones because Skeletor wants to kill them all too; and c) why does he need to have a secret identity when Skeletor wants to kill Prince Adam anyway? This actually kind of makes sense because Adam is the heir to the throne, and his father the King wouldn't want him gallivanting around as He-Man if he knew it was his son endangering himself. It makes way less sense when She-Ra apes the formula, because there is no sitting Etherian monarchy and Princess Adora is a resistance leader in an all-out war against Hordak! She has no reason to disguise herself! In fact, knowing that your figurehead claimant to the throne was She-Ra would be great for morale!

Alvarez IV posted:Sandman wasn't born a Marko, he took it as a pseudonym. He was born William Baker, but when he met his biological father in prison, he gave him a fake name as a disguise. Though I do like the idea of Spiderman or some X-Person overhearing mention of an incident involving a Marko, assuming it's the wrong one, showing up to fight him and being in for a surprise, I wonder if that's be done before. How long has that been a thing?  Esplanade posted:Didn't Byrne have a story where Sandman and Osborne were related because they have the same hair? Hahaha this is better.

Skwirl posted:Aside from Jean Grey dying (again) Joss Whedon and M-Day undid almost everything from Morrison's run over a decade ago, and now there's two Jean Greys running around. Mr. Maltose posted:Yeah, the only “irreparable damage” was the whiplash of undoing his run as fast as humanly possible. That's exactly what I meant, well that and it paved the road for the general trend of dark and edgy events in Marvel in general Skwirl posted:Spider-Man has stopped the Juggernaut, but unless Iceman or one of the more powerful telekinetics (IE, someone with the last name Grey) are there, I could see the X-Men having some problems with Sandman. There's a reason Sandman was an off and on Fantastic Four enemy for a long time(and similar ones to how Rhino occasionally got used as a Hulk enemy), many of Spider-Man's enemies fight way below their real weight class(see also Osborn having become an Avengers tier enemy from Secret Invasion onwards, Doc Ock becoming one for Ends of The Earth, and Electro occasionally reminding us that he's one of the single most powerful villains on Earth when he tries) Android Blues posted:This actually kind of makes sense because Adam is the heir to the throne, and his father the King wouldn't want him gallivanting around as He-Man if he knew it was his son endangering himself. Probably why more recent versions of MOTU have Adora be more involved with the Evil Horde prior to becoming She-Ra, them being separate identities is so the resistance will trust She-Ra, as they wouldn't be able to trust Adora to the extent she needs

I had a whole pitch (to give to no one ever) for a Turner D Century revamp about ten years ago, he's such a weird and great character. His second appearance involved a special phonograph that would kill anyone under 65 so that things would return to the good old days. This was his plan despite clearly being at oldest around 35 according to the story.

I first heard of Turner D. Century in the OHOMTU, when he was one of the 18 characters in the "Deceased" volume where they all had filler art depicting a panel, which never actually appeared in any comic, of Scourge shooting them with a machine gun. I wonder how many characters in that particular massacre actually stayed dead.

The more I think about it, the more I'm surprised that they didn't bring this character back. He really could be fascinating especially in a book like Miss Marvel or Captain Marvel or anything like that.

But honestly, he’s more of a FF (or more specifically a Thing) villain. He fought Spidey twice before appearing in Strange Tales and FF for a looooooong time afterwards - first getting a purple and then a metal costume. Hell, he even turned himself in to the Thing in Two-in-One and became a good guy there. He only fought Spidey a handful of times from his first appearance to the late 80’s.... And the opposite is true of the Beetle - started out as a Human Torch and Daredevil villain before becoming a full tile Spidey villain in the late 80s

TheHan posted:How long has that been a thing? Sandman's real name being WIlliam Baker and not Flint Marko was revealed in Marvel Team-Up #1 when he goes to visits his mom on Christmas after a run-in with Spider-Man and Johnny Storm. The original explanation was that he used the "Flint Marko" name so his sick mom wouldn't know he was a criminal. IIRC the whole "meeting his father in prison" backstory didn't exist until PAD's run on Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.

Just read all of Loki: Agent of Asgard. I really enjoyed it. Glad to see that none of it mattered and, ironically, Loki immediately went back to being the God of lies, just like his evil alternate future self warned him would happen. For those who don't know, he went on a journey to have his past forgiven. During it, he met a future version of himself that was evil. A lot of poo poo happened and it was revealed that his future self turned evil again because, despite doing everything and having all his sins forgiven, the Asgardians never accepted him and treated him as an outcast. But, due to his future self's meddling, he faced the dilemma better and made a new path, spurred on by Odin's hint and his mortal friend's faith in him, that a lie is just a story you tell yourself and, thus, he can reinvent himself and be reborn as the God of Stories. As the God of Stories, he managed to save all of Asgard and ending Ragnarok forever by both persevering their memory so that they survived Secret Wars by preserving their story and revealing to the Gods of Gods that make the Ragnarok cycle that they are born from stories and do not truly exist. He then says he has no interest in being in Secret Wars and uses his power of God of Stories to skip right to the next chapter of his life...which ignores all of this and has him being an Agent of Asgard again and the God of lies again.

Wanderer posted:I wonder how many characters in that particular massacre actually stayed dead. "All of the losers killed by Scourge are resurrected as an army" also happened in a one-off Deadpool comic in the late 1990s, which ended with Uncle Ben and Aunt May boning on a lab table because at the time they were both dead (and resurrected together) for reasons that probably boil down to "it was a Deadpool comic in the 1990s". When The Ringer and Melter are the two most memorable Scourge victims it's hard to find real stories to bring them back for. Except for the sweet, techno-utopian, Information Superhighway loving, Candide pastiche Douglas Rushkoff/Bill Gates with Mild Brain Damage revamp of Turner D. Century. There was all the reason in the world for that.
