Sad part is, before we started worrying about skin cancer the suit used to have UV lights on the inside to help maintain Tony's tan.

I like the implication that the suit morphs to the features of the wearer, because alternatively Dracula stopped to modify the helmet and fashion a suitable cape.

Oh, and it made it part of a TMNT and Savage Dragon crossover; the Ringmaster on the page has just been woken up by the Turtles causing a car wreck outside his window. That would have been cute, except Gerber took that issue as his opportunity to burn every bridge he had and wrote in the story that the real Howard the Duck escaped Marvel to Image and was replaced with a clone.

Yeah, that's not really much different than Kieron Gillen killing off his version of Loki to put a cap on that run and make a clean break between his run and whatever someone else did with the character.

Dang, I totally forgot the Turtles were in the Destroyer Duck/Savage Dragon crossover. http://tmntentity.blogspot.com/2011/01/savage-dragondestroyer-duck-1.html?m=1 I own a page from Erik Larsen’s Defenders run and the Elf with a gun makes another (off-panel) cameo. E: here’s the art page I own. Inks by Sal Buscema, pencils by Erik Larsen.

It’s a lot different. Gillen didn’t write a Loki book for Image where he comes out of the same building that Marvel’s Loki disappeared in, and go “I’m glad I escaped that universe, and left that impostor behind to distract them.”

Yeah, but did anyone not named Steve Gerber really give a gently caress about Howard the Duck in 1996? Like was anyone at Marvel actually upset about it? George Lucas kinda destroyed making Howard the Duck a cultural icon like a decade earlier.

Disney did. I think this was shortly before the “Gotta give Howard pants” lawsuit. A lawsuit where Chip Zdarsky got the final word on after Disney bought Marvel, and Chip took away the pants, saying “What are they gonna do? Sue themselves?” Steve Gerber would be back in 2002 for the Howard the Duck Marvel Max series with the mouse cover taking a shot at Disney, so nobody was too mad about the Destroyer Duck fiasco. I haven’t read a ton of the Gerber Howard series, but the “Vote Howard in ‘76” button is my more obtainable desire next to getting a MMMS membership card. I’m sure it wouldn’t be hard to get one on EBay, but I’d rather hunt it down in person when conventions are a thing again.

In 2015 I asked at a Marvel panel what their pitches would be for a new What If? series. Chip, at his first Marvel panel, suggested ugly Captain America. Would he be as influential a leader if he had a face only a mother could love? Big laughs all around. Later on in Howard the Duck, there’s a story involving the nexus of all realities. In a glimpse of several alternate realities is a glimpse of a pug ugly Captain America. Same convention I asked Chip about the fortieth anniversary of Howard’s first presidential bid. He didn’t want to retread it, but said his running mate would totally be She Hulk. After four years of Trump, I’d love to see the universe of President the Duck and Vice President Walters.

 Maybe it's just me, but I always found the idea of an evil accountant who wears a business suit under his supervillain armor to be hilarious. The old G.I. Joe comics had some really interesting world-building.

Priest is currently writing a U.S. Agent limited series that introduced an old guy named Morrie Watanabe who is none-too-subtly a sort of parody of/homage to Larry Hama. It's pretty funny overall.

Not Brand Echh seems really goofy and fun, kind of like the Unglued and Unhinged Magic expansions, if anyone gets that deep nerd reference. Are they worth finding to read through?
