I feel like there's some other comic panel either implying or directly stating she had a nose job. Obviously she could have done both her nose and boobs, or I'm just thinking of Rachel from Friends instead of Emma in regards to the nose job.

Emma's pretty great in the Morrison New X-Men run. And yeah, in her first mission with the team, she ends up getting her nose broken in a fight and complains about how much she's paid for it.

How do you even pronounce that? Teddededed? Teduuuuuh? A "D" is terrible to prolong. Maybe the worst letter to try that on.

PainterofCrap posted:Fantomius, the Gentleman Yes! If you're familiar with Euro duck comics lore, Donald's superhero alter ego - the Duck Avenger - was first created when he discovered the diary and gadgets of the famous gentleman thief Fantomius and used them to become a superhero. The later Fantomius stories tell the story of the famous gentleman thief and are a lot more fun than the superhero stuff, in my opinion.

Larryb posted:So can someone explain the wood weakness to me out of curiousity (at least the color yellow sort of makes sense since it's the opposite of green)? Also I assume this isn't still a thing in modern versions of GL? It started out as an abitrary Golden Age superhero weakness. Post-Crisis it was retconned as part of explaining Alan Scott’s relationship to the Green Lantern Corps. It turns out a GL went rogue and tried to conquer Earth, starting with ancient China. The Guardians edited his ring to be vulnerable to wood so he couldn’t defend himself from the peasants’ weapons. That ring and power battery ended up being corrupted and found by Scott, and the rogue GL’s consciousness influenced him to become a Green Lantern, albeit one that was no longer connected to the central battery on Oa, blah blah blah. Modern GLs have the yellow weakness - wood is only Alan Scott’s weakness. No idea if any of that survived Covergence/Rebirth/Dawn of DC.

Because yellow is the colour of fear, and Parallax the fear-demon was in the giant battery on Oa corrupting it and furthermore

Parallax is such a "this is a cool sounding word, never mind the definition" name that it's kind of stunning to me that it wasn't from like, the Golden Age.

The fear entity was invented a long time after they called Hal Jordan Parallax, wasn't it? Also I think when we're reading a series where the protagonists are called Green Lanterns, I don't think we can suddenly expect names with gravitas and relevance.

Vanadium posted:The fear entity was invented a long time after they called Hal Jordan Parallax, wasn't it? Yeah. They just reassigned the name to the fear entity. Honestly it was the most dumbass saving throw they could do to retcon that all away. It worked, but it was always dumb as gently caress. Initially the yellow weakness was described as being due to a "necessary impurity in creating the rings" or whatever. Now I'm pretty sure we're at the point where it's acknowledged as "yellow is the color of fear", and if you can keep your wits about you, you can power through and gently caress up yellow anyway.

Did Johns come up with Parralax or was that before him? It seems like a Johns kind of name. Or I guess it would probably be something like Fearalax if it were him

I thought the word parallax came from the game Parallax, for which "parallax scrolling" as invented.

Parallax error was something I trained to compensate for in news photography class, a million years ago, when some still used non-SLR cameras.
