Did Pete even check to see if Frankie has an allergy to the webs? Perhaps he has a medical condition that can be fatal if he’s upside down for too long. This is unacceptable behavior and I won’t read Spider-Man comics any longer. #SpiderManisCanceled

I heard that he doesn't even have a license to commit his senseless acts of illegal vigilantism. Who is he, that he deems to put the law into his own hands? Does he think he's better than us regular folk? He's an elitist who never had any real problems and decides to brutalized the little people, with no accountability. Must be some rich inheritor under that mask of his. I wonder what vile things he did to poor Jameson, to make him turn his public opinion.

I mean if we really want to suck the fun out of it we could just point out that Spidey's been catching this guy since he was a young man and he's now in middle-age (how old is Peter, again?) and he's still a petty crook. Maybe Spidey needs to review the impact his policy on criminals is actually having. Maybe we need to look at the larger societal causes of crime instead of just dehumanizing people and throwing them into the slammer. Who's on art and colors though that's really good

Whereas I'm going to start referring to it as one of my top powers. "For you see my erstwhile comrade, I possess the supreme power of waterflight. If you had deigned to gaze out into the lake you would have witnessed my locomotive mastery of the waves." "gently caress's sake, that looked more like drowning than swimming. We saw you from the breakfast nook and I was honestly about to run out and save you until I saw the flutter board you had hidden come up and smack you in the face. I also don't think you know what erstwhile means you goof."

I'm pretty sure this is some sort of modern tribute because yeah that's both a tiny bit too on-the-nose and not quite insane enough to make me believe it's the work of the original rear end in a top hat.

Has she ever actually died, though? Because if not, that's just speculation.

FFT posted:Is that Stilt-Man and Taskmaster? what The best example of this was in Quaser, where the Watchers (the whole race) are dealing with a philosophical plague. Essentially Watchers are sworn not to interfere, only to watch. But some then started realizing that watching was a form of interference. And so they just drop dead. So stuff happens and Quasar figures out that Watchers offing themselves is causing more interference than their watching. At which point you see a dead Watcher stand up and go "huh I never really thought about it like that before." And suddenly all the Watchers who logicked themselves to death, logic themselves back to life.

Sexual Aluminum posted:A responsible Batman will rotate his Robins every 10k patrols. Assuming Batman patrols Gotham twice every night (which is an unreasonable assumption, given how much time he spends dead/in space/in the past/in the future/in an alternate timeline/recovering from getting beaten up), this would still only result in a Robin Rotation every ~13.5 years. A responsible Batman would rotate Robins every 100 patrols. Mainline Batman probably does it every 500-600 patrols, when the last Robin dies/gets sent to the past/et cetera.

Some more good stuff from X-Factor.  The second one is particularly amusing to me because I once had to hold my tongue when a very narcissistic person I worked with pronounced "ennui" as "ennoo."

I have been in a committed crime-fighting superhero sidekick relationship for the past 70 years. I’m the hero and I have 9 sidekicks, five boys and 4 girls. It’s been going great, it’s all consensual and everyone if having a good time. We sometimes live together, but we hang out at my batcave almost every day. It is not a purely vigilante relationship either. We all share an emotional connection and it’s like any other relationship but punching and gadgets. Of course, as the hero, there are some rules. They need to call me Batman. No teaming up with anyone except for me. If i tell someone to do something, they do it (within bounds of course). The punishments depend on the person, some of my sidekicks get killed, some try to go solo. It all depends on what I agree on with each sidekick. We have safe words too, and we stop the patrols whenever anyone says one. It seems weird to villains but this is what we enjoy and we like to be open about it. Everything has been great. At least I thought everything was going great. I woke up a couple days ago and told one of my sidekicks to get me a cup of coffee. He didn’t do it. I told him that I was going to punish him (force him to fight Condiment King, which can be easily resisted) and he said that he wouldn’t do it. Now, if one of my sidekicks acts like this I break it off with them so I threatened him that I would kick him out of the Bat-family. The other sidekicks chimed in and said that if I kick him out, they all leave. That’s right; my sidekicks have unionized. They handed me a sheet of paper with a list of demands. The demands included (I’m not sharing all of them for their privacy), “Allow teaming up with other heroes” and “Demands are to only be followed after nightfall”. I tried to negotiate, but they were firm in their demands. I couldn’t punish them. My hands are tied, and I have no power anymore. I told them that I would think about it for a couple days. They haven’t left me yet, they still stay overnight, but this list of demands is lingering over our relationship and our crime fighting. They want to keep a superhero, and no one has stepped up to replace me. They thought about finding a new hero online but only if I don’t give into their demands. I want to negotiate because I don’t want to give up too much power. I offered “team ups with other heroes only before 6 pm” and “follow demands after 1 pm”. I also offered following each demand separately but not both together. I really do have feelings for them, and they have feelings for me. But the power balance was shifted when they unionized and I don’t know what to do. The relationship isn’t as satisfying anymore and I don’t know if it will ever be. What should I do. Do I let them get a new hero and leave them? Or do I give into their demands and relinquish some of my power?
