i could've sworn at some point in the early years she actually had to do this.

maybe that was in ultimate

I think Sue started just making herself invisible, then she got the force field bubble and turn people invisible bubble, and now writers just say "gently caress it, invisible claws, sure."

E: I thought her clothes had to be made of unstable molecules so they could turn invisible?

Say Watt?

She didn't originally have the quasi-telekinetic powers, no. Just invisibility. I figure they realized how useless she was in fights after a while and gave her more abilities because up against supervillains it wears kind of thin to disappear just so you can smash a bottle and try to stab the bad guy with it.

Her powers were a woman in the 60s who couldn't be seen but COULD be heard. It was revolutionary.

The stripping off her clothes thing was from the movie.

The FF4 movies did a version of this not once, but twice. In the first she makes only her clothes invisible by accident and in the second she burns them off when she gets Johnny's powers. Really amazing stuff.

Now I kind of want to see this. The usuless invisible member of the team just shanking the bad guy to end every battle.

Nah they're talking about the scene on the bridge where Jessica Alba needs to sneak past the cops, so she strips nude, turnds invisible, and tiptoes through.

The best part is that they show up a second after she does. There was no reason for her to do this.

There are exactly two reasons. Jessica Alba.

Narratively? Absolutely not. She's a scientist written like a high school sophomore failing Chemistry.

Went to New Jersey for the first time last year. It was fine.

my first visit to New Jersey: "well we've been on the Turnpike since the Delaware River and it seems normalish." *sign reading 'WELCOME TO ELIZABETH NJ'* "....JESUS CHRIST WHAT THE gently caress IS THAT SMELL".

Anyway, most of Dark Web would fit in this thread pretty easy. After years of enduring attempted grimdark Kindred bullshit, seeing Spidey be grave and serious while Jonah's toiletries are begging him to spit in their mouths is great.

I was stewing in my mind that the hell house isn't a boss just a normal enemy even if its a nightmare to fight but lol they give it a promotion in the remake. I guess a lot of us were traumatised by that thing back in the day.

I could swear they did the same scene in Brubaker's Daredevil when the Punisher was deliberately trying to get himself sent to prison -- cop tries to arrest him, sees the skull on his chest, and nearly wets himself calling for backup while the Punisher just stands there with his hands up.
