Out of context funny is fine. Don't post edits though. And try and source your panels. If you can't source it then you better at least search and make sure it's not an edit.

I assume, in general, that if I can't source a panel and it's from a confectioner's selection of panels on some blog, then it's almost certainly an edit.

Turns out I was thinking of Fletcher Hanks (who died frozen and penniless in a park). I read Magnus, Robot Fighter and somehow turned that into The Super Wizard, Stardust in my broken brain.

Yeah but, by all accounts, Fletcher Hanks was a real big piece of poo poo.

I did always love how mad this head was though.

And you impale a guy on a rhinos horn. You kill a guy on a museums display of a sacrificial altar, and watch the blood flow down. Game was real brutal. I think you could feed a guy into a circular saw.

The people were ASTONISHED at his doctrine.

It's worth noting that's true of the earliest Spectre stories as well


Honestly having read entirely too much of the character I think it's fair to say he oscillates wildly depending on the author and era. After the weird 80s revival I think they finally dumped any notion of having him not kill the poo poo out of his targets (with some notable exceptions in the Ostrander run by which I mean the Joker and, yes, he was therefore immune to the literal wrath of God by reason of insanity back in the 90s. Comics!).

IIRC it was a way of killing people without -technically- killing people, but that explanation seems strange when you consider how balls crazy and bloodthirsty the Golden Age was, and would make more sense if the Spectre was a Silver Age character.

Which is quite possibly the single dumbest "why doesn't x just do y" explanation ever. Listen, you don't think about why Superman doesn't solve all of Batman's problems in a nanosecond because it'd barely even count as an inconvenience for him, you just don't think about it.

Although that sort of thinking did give us this pretty cool scene from Green Arrow/Black Canary:





Don't think about the logic of that either, okay?

Right, to be clear, I was using it as a good example of examining contrived reasons for why being in a shared universe isn't totally broken and invokes it. Also, I always thought it was from Kevin Smith's Green Arrow, but I guess not.

Content! From an issue of Saga which I hope everyone is reading:

You could chrome a dude in a chopshop, run them through a license plate stamping machine, feed them to giant gears, run them through an industrial sausage maker, a drill press, and a bunch of other stuff.

Volition had to add a score system and detract points when you did this, and cut the VFX, and cut the camera away from a bunch of them in order to release without the AO rating they got on their first ESRB submission.

The game is actually pretty decent for the time, too. It had a quick kill button that felt great, too - basically in melee range you could push this and it would insta-kill anyone with a bunch of stylish moves, including the stuff-a-nade-in-the-mouth-and-kick-them-away.
