Lobok posted:Thor's spirit is inside the Destroyer armour and he's fighting against Hela in her Hel realm while Thor's body is back on Earth. I won't get into the full story of what's going on here but I just really like this for Thor matching Hela in cosmos-spanning, reality-tearing, faster-than-light energy beams. Thor hitchhiked across Canada with no problem but he met his end in Pennsylvania.

The Mighty Thor #343, from Simonson's run in the 80s. The dragon Fafnir is laying waste to New York, and Thor has recruited the last viking, Eilif, to help slay it. Eilif is ancient and tried to goad Thor into killing him when they met, so that he'd die in battle and have a chance at Valhalla; Thor gave him a blessing of strength and a chance to die in battle against Fafnir instead.

Personally I feel like it would work better if Apocalypse didn't say anything in the last panel, but otherwise it's a neat page.

I'm not sure that's accurate about losing knowledge of how to mine lead. You mine it the same as other metals, but if the choice is digging it out of the ground or stripping it off of these ruins where people already did the work...

Also the meta knowledge that all these assholes have made equally bold claims in the past about how their mutant Utopia will thrive only to poo poo themselves and get thousands of mutants killed makes it impossible to take them seriously.

One thing I've always wondered when Cyclops is wearing red shades that aren't complete wrap around, something will often catch my eye that's outside the frame of my glasses and I'll focus on it for a second before realizing I can't see it for poo poo and I'll move my head so I'm looking through my glasses again. When Scott does that does he accidentally blow it up?

His lack of punch beam control is just a psychological thing, isn't it? Maybe if he ever stopped to think about how poo poo his shades are compared to his visor he'd annihilate everything in his peripheral vision.

I always thought his eye beams just shot straight forward no matter where his eyeballs were spinning.

IIRC some source - possibly the OHOTMU so grain of salt time - said that part of Cyclops' mutation is that he doesn't have the same kinds of involuntary eye movements that most people do.

The least badass thing possible. In all fairness, IIRC Cap also has some heightened intuitive understanding of physics/geometry/trig (shamefully I don't have a copy of OHOTMU to verify) that allows him to know exactly how to throw his shield to get the best ricochets and to have it return to where he will be. I don't remember if it was part of super soldier serum or he just practices so much he instinctually knows it (which is admittedly cooler than just having it as a power) There's plenty of legit lame stuff we can pick on Cyclops about, but this power would be incredibly useful not only for trick shots with his mutation but also understanding the battlefield Am I going to feel compelled to defend Gambit next? Better dial back my contrarinism.

It would still be good for him to wear the glasses even if the problem was resolved, both in terms of unifying style and in case someone took control of his brain and immediately tried to get him to shoot Gambit's dick off with his death beams.
