I've been reading through the original run of 2099 books and they're all pretty bad, but Punisher 2099 is something else.

Punisher 2099 #9 (1993)

Are these all on Marvel Unlimited? I remember having some issues of Ravage 2099 which were probably horrible but now I'm curious.

I don't know, my collection predates Marvel Unlimited. Ravage 2099 is really horrible though, that is true. I'm only 10 issues deep and he's already changed his powers/look/personality four times, always the sign of a strong character. First he was this CEO who gets betrayed and denounces technology to become a retro murderhobo literally driving around in the Fantasticar:

Ravage 2099 #7 (1993)

Then he goes to a radioactive mutant island and dies, then comes back with generic energy blast powers:

Ravage 2099 #8 (1993)

Then he ends up turning into a weird devil monster thing and he can turn back and forth back to his pre-issue one hobofication and now his CEO job is his secret identity...

Ravage 2099 #10 (1993)

So yeah, I can only imagine what else they try to throw at the wall to try desperately to make this character work. Also, here's a bonus wedding for people in a future cult that worships superheroes:

Stan Lee actually wrote the first seven issues, which was its original draw. Then it got taken over by Pat Mills who seems like he got the job to save a dying mag now that it no longer had Stan's name on it.

I find the dual nature of Pat Mills the Writer and Pat Mills the Comics Editor fascinating. I generally like his weird, occult-y, subversive style which gives you Nemesis, ABC Warriors, Slaine, Finn, etc, but you also get the guy who knows he needs to put out a weekly comics anthology RIGHT NOW, so writes like 5 or 6 different stories to varying degrees of success. I recently looked at an issue of something like Crisis or Toxic (but neither of those) that he'd put together, which totally would have thrilled 15 yo me, but was a bit patchy for 45 yo me.

It it feels like that Pat Mills the Editor is writing Ravage, whilst the Pat Mills the Writer is doing Punisher 2099.

Three privates in the Army Air Forces caused some confusion when they showed up at the advanced flying school at Mather Field in California in 1942.

Their names were Admiral C. Allen, General Rudolph Merriweather, and Lieutenant Garnes. (Berkeley Daily Gazette, Oct. 8, 1942)

General L. Phillips and Lieutenant Tisdale were inducted into the Army (as privates) in Knoxville, Tenn., in 1952. (Lubbock Evening Journal, March 20, 1952)

“Private Colonel Underwood found it convenient to drop the title when requesting hotel reservations while on leave,” wrote Elsdon Coles Smith in The Story of Our Names (1970). “He would say, ‘This is Colonel Underwood speaking.’ It usually worked.”

I was about to mock the Venusian dude's cash, however glass currency would probably be pretty handy in the Venusian atmosphere.

So instead, I'll just admire the Earthlet's space suit actually being a suit.

Given that his doctorate is an honorary degree that he gave himself, it's probably in everything Latveria's universities can offer-making the plain Doctor a more efficient way of saying it.

I was gonna say, he got kicked out of grad school because of the accident that melted his face, and I can't imagine post face melted Doom re-applying for another post graduate degree.

I want to point that due to the sliding time scale, Dr. Doom is a millennial and probably got kicked out of school in the hysteria following 9/11.

Swag!

In this story where Batman pretends to be a footballer and take his place in a game I thought it was funny that not only does he do well enough to score a touchdown but he also kicks the extra point. Like of course he's good at both. (Unless this is just how it worked in American football back then.)

So how many rules did Batman break by impersonating Stockton and for how long should Stockton be banned from the sport?

Can't tell from the art but Batman disguised himself to look like Stockton. Also at this point in the comics history Bruce Wayne doesn't seem like quite as much of a local celebrity anyway.

Wikipedia says normally someone from the existing squad doubled as a kicker until around the 60s. So it establishes batman is absurdly good, but not so good that he's breaking convention.
