Powerful one local Himbo energy Scott would also totally murder puppies. He's the worst.

Cyclops has long term strategic planning as a secondary mutation. He knows full well if he kills any of those puppies the High Evolutionary is going to take the survivors and turn them into super villains that blow up the school.

There doesn't seem to be a thread for posting villains being huge dicks, but I find this hilarious due to the sheer unmitigated pettiness:   Superman #9 (1987) The joke is that real-life rich assholes do way worse stuff. Come on, Luthor, this is just pathetic.

It's good to know that Goblin Force is equal-opportunity slutty. And Discount-Arcade's Murderworld is forever going to be known as Pissworld. He is the Whizzard now.

The best part was turning Lex Luthor into a class IX bag of dicks. "No, dear, you must call me Lex now." The issue -- and I think it was #2 of the regular series -- where Luthor "discovers" Superman is Clark Kent is genius.

Suleman posted:Cyclops's ex-wife and Havok's ex-love interest Madeline Pryor (clone of Jean Grey, mother of Cable, occasional demonic sorceress) is back and has kidnapped and immobilized them both. Havok is dressed up in her old stripperific costume because it amuses her, and Cyclops is surrounded by puppies so he can't do eye-blasts. So other than trust issues, what's to keep Cyclops (who appears to have full use of his hands) from separating the puppy curtain and asking Alex "Am I looking at the chain holding me to the wall?" and then opening his eyes? Or, you know, Havok doing literally anything to help? It seems that there's nothing preventing their powers from working.

"Once, This Was Harmless Fun. Then, Cancel Culture Came for Me." Online hate mobs directed against the MSM journalist who publicized the stories of the victims. And isn't her "friend" Superman too "woke" these days? Twitter posts followed by 100 reply guys with "Virgin Superman vs. Chad Luthor" memes. And how can I be sexist when I employ a woman driver?!?

Superman was supposed to waste his time searching for the coffins while the Joker carried out his plans. Having found the coffins immediately, Superman had plenty of time to scan the city normally until he found them.

There was Red Son Bizarro, who was a failed clone of Superman by the US Government. His X-Ray vision basically cooked anyone he used it on.

Yeah, I thought the heat vision was him focusing his x-rays or something, but I might be making that up. Heat vision does seem like a whole other category of thing from his other powers of being stronger, better hearing, better vision. It's interesting to look at Superman as an example of 100 years of power creep. Initially he could just leap over buildings, but at some point he just started to fly, Comics!

StumblyWumbly posted:Yeah, I thought the heat vision was him focusing his x-rays or something, but I might be making that up. You’re not making it up. They introduced X-ray vision first in the comics and then had him heating things by turning it up. Not sure when “heat vision” became a separate concept.

If he didn't already exist Superman would be a ridiculous character to create now. Like an 8-year old making up a hero with a grab bag of assorted powers who's as good or better than everyone at everything.
