There's at least one story where everyone thinks that and then through circumstance his mask falls off and he's ranting about ugly and disfigured from what Reed did and everyone kind of states as he looks totally normal.

I'm pretty tired of people referring to the aristocracy as "mankind," though, and acting like their victims have any agency to defend themselves.

generally agreed upon: aristocrats were the lowest poo poo, the worst of humanity

liberals want to lift humanity up to the level of the aristocracy
fascists want to kill humanity for not being lifted up and create a perfect species of aristocrats
communists would like there to be no further aristocrats so we can be (trans)human regardless of whether or not we are poo poo

while our coterie of idiot billionaire manchildren are terrible, it still warms my heart to think that proper european aristocracy is a broken force. even if we all end up as serfs to jeff bezos, at least every habsburg gently caress - even if they're still rich - has to lean on material wealth for power like a pissy barry lyndon

Just finished Psycho Goreman and it's fantastic, the little girl they cast is hilarious. The whole movie is surprisingly heartwarming for a story about an alien demon god here to destroy the galaxy.

Spidey Super Stories was Marvel's younger reader line. Teaming up with the TV show The Electric Company, they produced limited vocabulary stories designed to help very little kids learn to enjoy reading.

It also produced some of the best out of context panels and skits.

That one never gets old, a true cringe classic.

Like kingpin, ok sure he considers himself the Duke of New York a #1 so I could kinda buy that reaction

But Doom wouldn't hesitate to collapse any number of sky scrappers if it would increase his sovereignty over the world, or even just to spite the FF

Magneto hates non-mutants and is literally a terrorist lmao he'd be like "not bad"

Juggernaut doesn't give a poo poo about anybody other than himself

Dr Octopus, I mean I dunno he's probably killed the least amount of ppl of them all there but he doesn't seem like he would care

And the next page they help clear debris, some with their arch nemesis present lol

I can't remember the context, but there was this time in the comics where Magneto, Dr. Doom, and the red skull were all involved in some dumb supervillian team up. It ends with Doom and Magneto being left alone with the Red Skull, and both deciding to trap him in a bunker in the middle of the desert, leaving him to die a slow and agonizing death.

The funny part is Red Skull was genuinely shocked by their betrayal, and had no idea why they would possibly want to do that to him.
