It’s part of a gang war to crown a new Kingpin in Amazing Spider-Man in the 80’s. Not very memorable, but it has that moment, and a cool cover with Punisher (issue 285)

Are Hutt clone troopers just clone troopers that the Hutts attempted to manufacture, or literal cloned Hutt soldiers?

In the lore, in ye olden times in the Star Wars universe, the Hutts were all super warriors. Like all swole and resistant to the Force and armoured up.

Then their race basically invented capitalism and discovered it was easier to pay other races to fight for you while you eat fried chicken.

No, Vogons aren't capitalists, they are bureaucrats. Just a single minded race that will not waver once they have an idea in their heads.

From issue 1 Scott is all about whining about his eyebeams/how he can never let his guard down lest he destroys everything he sees/secretly pining for Jean/wishing he was Warren when he sees her making a move on Jean/being a spoilsport to the other X-Men when they just want to have a good time, man.

e: Also in issue 1, his name is Slim, not Scott. Though that is later retconned as a nickname

I'd imagine the comic is a joke about how the Hutts kept buying knock Imperial tech in the EU books. Like they time they built a ship that was just a Death Star laser with engines bolted on to it.

He's also the field leader and it's hard to write a character as a leader for so long and not have him be a goody two-shoes / teacher's pet / boy scout type.

Not only was that one of my first video games, it was also my first exploration into bugs/exploits. If you held down a number when picking power/angle it would keep writing, but when clearing the box afterward it just erased the default entry space. Since the game was coded to just register collision with a pixel the remaining numbers became a ceiling on the stage, or you could keep it up long enough to completely encase the gorillas and change the game entirely into trying to tunnel your way to your opponent.

Nah, the ghost just warps out to take care of some business, without even noticing that guy. Gotta save her dumb nephew, who didn't believe an incantation would raise the dead (even though it raised her spirit) and ended up bringing back his evil ancestor.

Yeah, that was fun. I was in a similar position and really young back then. I didn't even speak any English, but I also liked looking at the source code and randomly replacing numbers and experimenting what such a change would do. Some would change colors and looking back there might gave been a parameter, which basically corresponded to strenght.
The second game on that computer was snake. I did the same messing around there and distinctively remember finding a configuration, which made the snake just continuously get longer unless a fruit was collected. That was my first hardcore romhack.

My brother and I just found the speed setting, jacked it up and played Nibbles at Ludicrous Speed. QBasic was great for how accessible and universal it was at the time. Kids' scout magazines and such would have a code page where they'd just give you the code for something to play around with and you could type it in and experiment.
