Even more valuable, Luke Cage joins the rarefied ranks of Sue Storm and Squirrel Girl, namely people Doom respects. I like to think Doom kept $200 in that credenza just in case Luke showed up in Latveria.



Also Luke doesn't care for your international law jibba-jabber, unlike some square supers:

(I think it's from the Supes vs. Spider-man. There's also a crossover showing Supes failing to catch Doom clumsily jogging down the block to the Latverian Embassy; not sure if this is the same story.)

I like to imagine Superman plays up being 'Vulnerable to magic' just to cut down on how often he has to deal with Kryptonite.

"Oh no, please sir, don't make me fight Captain Marvel again. When he punches me with the strength to fold a mountain in half like a playing card, it leaves a bruise!"

I guess it's kind of like making a big deal out of "Is vulnerable to fire" when (depending on the writer at the time) it might still take a flamethrower that would kill anyone else to inconvenience you.

It would have been better if Doom held up a Latverian bill (denomination doesn't matter; all of them carry Doom's visage).

I got around to reading all of All-New Wolverine myself just yesterday entirely because I wanted to read about Gabby. The fact that there's no Honey Badger ongoing is shameful.

I didn't post any panels as I was reading because everyone has posted about how awesome Gabby is already.

The lesser known Superman & Spider-Man. It also contains a sequence I can't find online for the life of me, where Wonder Woman and Spidey, separately investigating Doom's hideout, run into one another, and Doom comes on the PA and says, "Well done, Spider-Man, my ally! Now kill her, and our plans will be complete!" and Wonder Woman completely falls for it.

I'm aggressively wrong about everything!

But Wonder Woman can't use this logic, because in the DC universe it's much blurrier. The Joker exists, sure, and Lex Luthor tends to use green power armor when he wears any, but the Justice League includes Green Arrow, Green Lantern and Martian Manhunter.

Purple is still kind of an evil-reserved color over there, I guess?

Quick rundown from memory...sure I've missed a few obvious ones:

Purple is bad. Mostly purple for Star Sapphire, Parasite, Despero. Purple & green for Joker & Luthor's costumes/armor, plus Brainiac, Riddler, Amazo. Purple & blue: Major Disaster. Yellow & purple: Sinestro

Brown is a pretty good indicator of bad: Scarecrow, Cheetah, Floronic Man (too obvious?)

But green is perfectly fine as a heroic color even with orange or yellow: Aquaman, Hawkpeople, and of course GL/GA/MM
