To be fair, back for most of his history when his Shooters were artificial and he didn't have crazy spider-powers added... were his powers really all that spidery? Super-strength/reflexes and the ability to climb walls. Pretty drat general. He could've been, like, gecko-man.

Didn't he used to (pre-films) climb walls by manipulating gravity or something absurd like that?

The sad thing about the hawkeye initiative is that most of them have way better anatomy than the original. I mean, look at her body there on the right, her torso just goes forever.

The sad thing about the Hawkeye Initiative is that it started as "look how oversexualized female superheroes are and point it out by drawing them as some male hero like, i dunno, hawkeye" and it quickly became a meme of just
"LOL LOOK AT HAWKEYE DOING A SEXY POSE ROFL"

Fuckin' hate the internet.

Isn't one of Superman's established powers being able to yell really loudly?

Like, he could just sonic the symbiote off and call it a day.

Or heat vision it off and call it a day.

Mister Roboto posted:

Honestly, the idea that mutations can literally make you into body-horror freaks is a more interesting idea than them making you supermodels who have claws or laser beams. It's always touched upon here and there, but in the end, comics need to sell and that means we need sex appeal, so the hot people take center stage.


You should check out Wild Cards, I guess. As I understand it's a forums taboo or something but it's pretty rad. Alternate history mutation poo poo, mutants with useless powers, etc etc. Long-rear end book series plus a 4 issue comic from the early 90s (I think) (I haven't tracked down a copy of #4 yet. I should just loving buy it online) and then a 6-issue that came out just a few years back.

And what's up with Supergirl's costume? It looks like it was so short that she had to glue a piece of cloth to cover up her crotch and add the cape to cover up the rear end. And isn't she supposes to be a teenager? That costume is just :stare: upon :stare:

There was some blog, I'll never be able to find it again, but basically it picked apart female costumes and redrew them as less sexual and more functional, and they always referred to Supergirl's old costume as a 'frilly belt'

The new costume is even worse. What even is that?

I just reread that a couple of weeks ago. It's Hisako, not Kitty, and she holds him down in a fire until he dies. It takes about eight hours.


Illuyankas posted:

You're probably mixing the Ghost Boxes What If Wanderer's talking about with the What If where Wolverine gets brainwashed by Hydra or something, singlehandedly kills every other hero in the world and then Kitty leaves her hand in his head after he severs it to finally kill him. I think she bleeds to death after? It was a pretty dumb story.

Yeah I got the two conflated. Thanks :)

Being an atheist is one thing, but in a comic book world I think it'd be more prevalent to have people who reject belief in any kind of laws of science and would be kind of anarchist and devil-may-care about everything, possibly anticipating death or the end of the world at any moment. If you lived in a world where it's a long shot but not implausible that one day you could be walking down the street and suddenly gravity disappears for a while or your aunt turns into a neon Godzilla during every blue moon you could be forgiven for just not giving a gently caress about anything. Like hey, I'm going to jump off this tall building, wanna come? Nah, I'm not suicidal I just want to see what happens, y'know? Maybe someone will catch me, maybe my latent mutant power will kick in, maybe I'll fall through time, or maybe I'll die. And if I die, I might come back to life, whatever.
