Endless Mike posted:He's Victor Mancha from Runaways. I assume Samuringa got autocorrected. Soooo, gonna guess whoever came up with that name never consulted with anyone who speaks Spanish. Mancha is the Spanish word for "stain"; "Don Quixote de La Mancha" translates as "Sir Quixote of The Stain". There is a legit region in Spain called La Mancha, but Cervantes is using it as a pun. It's like if I came from a town called Skidmark, NY, then went around calling myself "Queen Jackie of The Skidmark" ---- he's claiming royalty over something repulsive. I guess it makes the funny panel even funnier, though, because dude is so stoked. "HE'S a Mancha, I'M a Mancha!" You own that stain-ness, Vic, good on you.

Obviously kind of stylized perspective in that panel, but is that the same Anne-Marie from Slott's run, the woman who was involved with Doc Ock when he was in Peter Parker's body?

I wonder if the Insomniac guys saw the "Blood Spider" at some point and updated it with true white spider etc/removing whatever his (Bane) Venom backpack thing or they developed the new primary costume for the game independently/not knowing about this...? edit: ok comparing them a bit more, not as close a resemblance as I'd originally thought.

Wouldn't the guy trained to fight like Spider-Man be completely hosed because he wouldn't have any of the related powers that makes it work? It's like if he trained someone to fight like the Hulk. It's not suddenly going to let you throw tanks at people.

Sure, but a lot of them are going to rely on his superhuman strength and agility, and without his spider-sense warning you about danger his high risk acrobatic fighting is probably less practical than just training the guy like another human combat expert.

Taskmaster knew Solo just wanted some cannon fodder so he sold Solo some "assassins trained in the fighting styles of Captain America, Hawkeye, and Spider-Man! Guaranteed satisfaction or your money back!" It's like how a cook will use a worse hunk of meat for a customer who orders well-done. Why bother with the good stuff if it's gonna be charred to a crisp?

Taskmaster isn't gonna turn down a paying gig. If someone shows up with cash in hand and says they want a dude with Cyclops' beams, he'll bolt a gun to a guy's face and deliver it.

Gnome de plume posted:I'm assuming the next panel is him getting shot by the arrow guy in the middle because he concentrated his fire on spider-guy and the dude with a shield I don't know how he didn't kill anyone during that part of Revenge of the Sinister Six where Mysterio uses his illusions to make the heroes look like the Sinister Six members to each other. Of course he did almost kill Spider-Man in a similar situation in one of the previous issues, which gave us the glorious Cyborg Spider-Man! Honestly, Revenge of the Sinister Six might be the one of the most 90s comics in existence.

Solo is one of the most 90s characters ever. If you want an image of the 90s, don't imagine Liefeld characters, imagine Solo jumping through a window firing two machine guns yelling, "WHILE I LIVE, TERROR DIES!"
