Can the Iron Fist do that? Is this like how people think Cyclops can set fires because his eyebeams are red?

As it turns out, Iron Fist's powers aren't ki-based, he just opens a portal to the brick dimension in his fist.

And not dementia but a recent study dropped citing air pollution can "effectively remove a year's worth of education" (as measured by testing, not literally forget a year) in males overs 64. With a lede that spicy I'd take it with a grain of salt though.
Don't forget "in China", because the entire population studied was in China, so there's plenty of other environmental factors that people don't automatically think of like, you know, famine.

This is Newspaper FBI, they've only got the one agent.

For one, just the mention of Thomas the Tank Engine promises an appearance of his iconic visage, so disappointment from the reader was inevitable from the start.

Golden Claw really is a dick for breaking that oath. This is the Marvel Universe, you can transform him into a frog or sent him to the Dark Dimension. No killing necessary.

I meant to type arcs with a villain, but it's late and I am dumb. The Lizard wasn't so much a villain last arc as just a weirdo Florida Man, much like fellow weirdo Florida Man The Hulk.

you could tell the lizard was connors' evil alter ego because the lizard planned to gently caress a bunch of swamp animals without smoking a bunch of meth first.

What are you talking about the villain Peter Parker succeeded in his quest to ruin Uncle Moley and Aunt May's wedding/happiness, and it was being a tremendous dick that allowed him to do so!

....Uncle Moley....

Probably a printing store. Most of them are run by Chinese people where I live.

I totally thought the "next" blurb said that Iron Fist and Peter will defeat Golden Claw's Asian methods with their "great white way".

When Peter's not in-panel, all the other characters should be asking, "Where's Peter?"

Alright so I've only been keeping up with this for a month or so. I have a feeling I know the answer based on the tone around here, but: does Peter become more intelligent once he has his costume on? It seems almost every dopey decision he's made since I started reading (during some kind of bout of napping on a couch a while back) has involved him not wanting to expose himself as even slightly physically competent.

Haram as Fuck.

If anything, he's much worse. The difference between Pete in and out of costume is like the difference between a clumsy drunk trying to walk down the street and sprint.
