Mystifying. Everything on that page indicates a correct use of German, yet I have no idea what "Das ist so WANG!" is supposed to mean. Is "This is so WANG!" a hip new phrase for young people, maybe?

The art is whatever, but it's an okay 4th wall breaking joke. At the time AOL had recently bought Time Warner, which owned Warner Bros, which owned DC comics.

He's got the Aquaman problem where he's got a reputation so writers go in intending to fix it, but it just comes off groanworthy and the best portrayals end up being ones that lean in to the silly. (Outrageous!)

That version of Aquaman will forever be the canon one in my head, because he's unironically the best of them all.

Yeah pretty much. In the late 90s and early 2000s he was one of the least popular X-men despite being a staple, and the movies writing the character out clumsily didn't help. So a bunch of Cyclops fanboys tried to make him more badass and it just made him more of an rear end in a top hat.

Not everyone can be Raphael. You need some characters to be Leonardo.

I think the perception may have really started with the nineties cartoon, Cyclops got punked so often in that show. Same thing happened with Jean.

Yeah everyone's gonna seem lame when they're the ones going "Stop [doing something cool], Wolverine!" on the cartoon, and that informed a lot of kids' perceptions of Cyclops.
