theflyingorc posted:If I'm reading OPM correctly, he works because the character is ABOUT how there's nothing to challenge him. Nobody wants to read only Superman stories about that. His power level is a problem for having him overcome challenges and working as part of a larger universe. That's what silver age superman stories were. He didn't have any real challenges, so instead he was always dealing with a bunch of bizarre marriage schemes and transformations.

Screw Arm-Fall-Off-Boy, look at the guy on the far right of the top panel. His torso is a rocket. His crotch is the rocket's nose. I think the rest speaks for itself.

If the kid is in uniform and in a car, isn't it much more likely that he is out with his parents? Iron Teacher's crude mechanical brain cares nothing for the fact that the boy's mother is in the hospital; it only sees that he isn't in class. I just hope that someone had the forethought to include holidays, vacations, graduation and death to Iron Teacher's programming. Also, "He can kill an alligator with one punch!" has a definite subtext of "So just imagine what he could do to you. OBEY."

CzarChasm posted:Do you mean a death in the family, or if the schoolkid himself is dead? Because I'm seeing a classroom stuffed to the gills with child corpses if someone programmed him wrong. The latter. Considering its reaction to what may well be a death in the family is to assault a car and abduct a child (back to class), it is already too late for the former.

By Wasp I was obviously referring to Hank Pym's brief use of the name. Duh.

No, that was provided by Wizard, who was very briefly deranged and dying after Black Bolt finally got sick of him repeatedly hypnotizing Medusa. I don't think Klaw is suffering from any particular brain disfunction. It was kind of a lovely miniseries that existed solely to drag characters back to their old status quo anyway.

Heh heh, I just obsessively collect sonic comics to make fun of them. It isn't like I'm a fan or anything despite never posting anything else in the funny panels thread. Likewise, the fur suit is ironic.
