Don't forget obscure Golden Age crime-fighter Frankie "gently caress" Fuckowski, from Kirby and Simon's short-lived "The Penis Alley Goofballs" back-up strip, canceled in 1947 when alley-based humor fell out of vogue.

That reminds me of a band in the UK called The Ting Tings. They got mocked when they went to Japan to tour because their name sounds like the slang for "tiny pens" over there. https://metro.co.uk/2008/12/16/ting-tings-our-tiny-penises-shame-248928/

Begemot posted:In March of 1993, looks like: I love seeing Darkhawk on that short list image to just drive home "ANYONE could be on the Defenders"  I've lost track of what retcons his origin story is up to now these days, but god drat did I love me some Darkhawk back in the day. Poor stupid "Venom threw a fight with him out of pity" darkhawk.Considering that was also the first time I read a comic with Venom in it, it gave me a naively optimistic intro to what a "90s comic" entailed.

Ehh, I'd be afraid of retribution from Susan about bringing her back (like way more than anyone else on the F4 for any other resurrections, she's by far the most dangerous member), but they gotta walk the talk. I'll be honest, making prognosticators verboten when you don't know what the future holds seems a little weird, but a completely understandable thing when you are trying to do something completely different than what you used to do.

A quick google says that that might actually be the point; Moira's outlawing precogs because if there is one, theb they'd be able to call out the secret that in all her previous reincarnations, mutants failed to secure the sort of autonomy that they're striving for in Krakoa. It might also be specifically just a policy to spite Destiny, because Moira doesn't have the best history with her.

Precogs wouldn't necessarily know what happened in past lives. They might know whether or not this one will also fail also. I think the main thing is Moira needs to reveal herself to everyone who isn't Xavier or Magneto before a precog shows up and says "Oh yeah Moira is here, also she's a mutant, none of you knew that except Xavier and Magneto and they didn't tell anyone for decades."

I think Destiny at the very least knows how things played out in Moira's past lives. In the reincarnation where Moira tried to invent a cure for mutants, Destiny had her killed and threatened that if she tried it again she'd kill her as a child in her next reincarnation before her powers kicked in and end her lives permanently. Couldn't do that if she didn't already know she'd killed her once before.

I was driving my octogenarian grand-aunt home one Saturday noon, and the car radio was on. I can't remember the programme so I've no idea why they chose the particular track, but what they played was "Varför är det så skönt att knulla bakifrån?".

In the earliest issues Kirby drew him as more lumpy than craggy. Didn't Ultimate Ben eventually molt and permanently become a jacked purple energy dude, or am I thinking of someone else?
