Maybe I don't know some lesser pantheons, but what the hell does courage correspond to Electra? Does it give her the power to sexually desire her dad?

Mythological Electra killed her mother and stepfather for killing her father Agamemnon.

The complex was named that by Carl Jung, offhandedly suggesting the name as female counterpart to Freud's Oedipus complex.

I could swear he was also cured in Deadpool & Cable, when he puked up a big glob of T-O.

And then he got in a fight with the Silver Surfer, which didn't go well for ol' Nate.

He was cured, but Deadpool had to re-infect him. Essentially, being without the virus made Cable godly in power, but in the All-Star Superman sense that it would eventually kill him. Cable's original idea was to use his omega-level powers to force the world into a better direction so that Earth's heroes would attack him, he'd die and he'd be seen as a martyr. This led to the first moment where Deadpool and Cable started to become friends as Deadpool betrayed the X-Men in favor of Cable making the world better, not realizing that Cable never intended to succeed in the first place.

It was also the big flaw in Cable's plan, as he assumed Wade would betray him, and by not doing so, Deadpool almost hosed the whole thing.

I thought his plan wasn't to be seen as a martyr, but to be seen as so big a threat that the world would unite to take him down. Like if Ozymandias decided to paint a target on his own face rather than on a giant space squid.

Is he trolling her? Because that seems like a spider-dad thing to do.

Also, who signed off on Renew Your Vows, and was it's express purpose to show that you absolutely can make a Spiderman who's married with a kid relatable? Because it seems like that's what it's aiming for.

For me the funniest stuff about Osborn's hair is still from that issue of Deadpool where Wade ends up in an old issue of ASM in Peters body, and when Norman drops by to talk to Harry and Peter, Wade can't get over his hair. Then he tries to say something to Norman but ends up going "Nice head, sir".
