Quick request, I remember seeing a panel posted online where a bunch of the X-Men and their supporting cast are sitting around a conference table, and one of them says, "Raise your hand if you've never had a period in your life that others would describe as 'mostly supervillian.'" Anyone know what I'm talking about?

That conference table looks really drat annoying to sit down at. Especially if you get Emma's seat.

I generally assume that any prominent long running superhero will at some point have their supervillain phase, but are they referencing a specific event in Scott's history? I just remember hearing that he was an rear end in a top hat a lot.

He had that whole deal with the Phoenix Force too, which while I didn't read it doesn't sound like it could possibly end up with him not being villainous to some extent.

This is definitely the summary of a superhero's first appearancequote:'The Sub-Mariner' - (Everett) Divers from a salvage ship encounter a strange man swimming around a derelict on the sea floor. When they chase after him he attacks and kills them then destroys the ship itself, killing everyone on board. He proceeds with the bodies of the divers to a secluded grotto where he presents them to a female sub-mariner named Domma. We learn that his name is Namor and Domma is his mother. She plans to keep the bodies of the divers as trophies in their war against the surface people. Then she sends Namor back to the surface on a mission of revenge!

I just remember hearing that he was an rear end in a top hat a lot. That was during a period of time when Scott was deciding that Xavier's dream was a bunch of idealistic nonsense and Mutants needed their own fortified island nation. Which was a little too close to Magneto's way of thinking for Storm there.

A key difference is that he didn't melt the medical staff into a single person.

Bill Everett posted:wage a war of espionage against the white man Seems like a decent chap to me But seriously the one thing I knew about the original Human Torch, besides him being an android, is that he was in the first super"hero" crossover battle, against Namor, who wanted to swamp New York with a tidal wave

LouisF posted:Thank you. Namor is my favorite. I'm saddened that he doesnt show up more often. Golden age Namor can be pretty wild. But since he was an ocean guy and the naval war was against the Japanese, the racism levels go pretty high:  (The preceding panel is even weirder but it has a slur so I'm not going to post it in the funny panel thread.) Definitely read his stories from the initial Marvel Mystery Comics up until he's convinced that the actions of the US were an accident and he shouldn't murder everyone in New York over it. Then skip ahead to the second, even more amazing than the first Sub-Mariner/Human Torch fight. One thing you learn reading those Namor/Torch comics is that Namor has thrown more people off of the George Washington Bridge than Norman Osborn.
