I was going to ask why nobody was bringing up Howard the Duck on that float. Then I thought for a moment, and realized I did not register his presence the first two times.

Perhaps because my brain was trying to protect me from harm.

I know basically nothing about Kyle (Or, well. Green lantern beyond the casual outsider's knowledge), but the impression I tend to get is he's a pretty okay guy who keeps having a rough time just because he's not Hal Jordan of the special needs Lantern division.

I'm sure Kyle has done his own share of spectacularly moronic and questionable things though, because Comics.

I know it is the wrong question to be asking. But why are Cyclops and Captain both wearing jackets and hoodies? Were they cold?

EDIT: Also, Captain is just kicking himself for forgetting he had a shield like, right there when Doom shot that guy.

Someone should probably tell Hal that his wrists and ankles aren't made of metal.

He's just borrowing from the Magneto playbook. "Magnet powers? Yeah, I can basically do whatever the gently caress I want. And what I want is DICK PUNCHINGS"

On that note, has Magneto ever punched somebody in the dick? If not, why hasn't he? Or at least make Wolverine punch himself in the balls.

There was an older story from maybe the early 80's (late 70's?) where Phantom Stranger brought Batman and Robin to another reality where they're a day from the Waynes getting shot. Robin wonders if they should let it happen because the world needs a hero like Batman, but Batman refuses to sit back. Instead, he shows up in time and beats up Joe Chill, getting his own feel-good redemption before Phantom Stranger sends him back home. Later on, we see that world's young Bruce studying hard and dedicating himself to getting into tip-top shape. He's going to become Batman, not out of vengeance, but out of inspiration for the mysterious stranger who saved his parents. I believe that issue is Mark Waid's favorite comic.

Just hearing that is pretty great even if it's some what if/alternate dimension sort of deal :unsmith:

I never really understood why the fake mother was okay with that, though. What did she want with half a baby?

Is having half a baby is still better than not having a baby in the first place?

The point was probably to make Solomon look like a smartypants and not any actual lesson, like "See this clever thing Solomon does, he's so smart and that fake mom is so dumb I can't believe she fell for it."

Which can be the only reason we need sometimes, which brings us back to marrying Hitler just to gently caress with him. How often has Captain America caused Hitler EMOTIONAL Trauma huh?... No, really, I want to know this.

Nah Cyborg is about 50% tokenism and 50% getting an Iron Man-style "tech hero" onto the JLA. It's exactly the same thing Grant Morrison tried to do with Steel back in the 90s JLA, but this time it's sticking. I've come around to accepting it a lot more than most of the other dumb New 52 stuff.

Now I hope there is some stupid joke in the comics that "Cyborg's part in a movie about us is being played by Shaq".

Also Cyborg has an arm cannon how is that lame :colbert:

It's just stupid. Like how many non-invulnerable heroes are running around with their faces completely uncovered, but no Tony needs to get shot in the face so he can show how awesome he is with magical power-creep science buzzwords.

Maybe he didn't buy it as an Item disadvantage and it's just thematic because he wanted some cool armor but not dealing with random attacks magically occurring out of nowhere every single waking moment not wearing it?...

I'm sorry, HERO/Champions system flashbacks :spergin: (More fun, buying a Alien Raygun as an Item. Being told that it both makes no sense and is impossible to let your allies borrow it, but still held to it getting stolen and shot with it by an enemy :downs:)

Comics relevant question, what exactly does Tony do after looking up faceshooter's kid?

To be fair, Thor is covered in iron nipples so he may just be making an amazing quip rather than literally using the power of magnetism on a simile.

"Nothing is too much for my favorite bot who got me 3 whole quivers of spring arrows this year."

Honestly, I just love the concept of Super Villains who are just kind of passive aggressive douchebags to the Heroes between heists, instead of just constantly trying to fire their hero hangout into the sun or something.

Like, a Carmen Sandiego who loves inflicting petty grievances on people just as much as stealing landmarks. Tony, the clues are in a print only, wildly out of date world almanac. You are going to have to READ A BOOK, in a public library. instead of googling poo poo.

EDIT: vvv This is my favorite form of Doom, yes. The one with to-scale giant dynamite attached on his to-scale model of his kingdom, telling the Silver Surfer he might be mean, aghast at this crazy man so upset over a mere $200.

He needs some relaxed days where you are shrinking landmarks to add to your personal collection (Doom will not settle for a REPLICA Eiffel tower!), between skinning your ex girlfriend for a new outfit that only lasts a few issues anyways (Doom should have gone for a higher quality ex-girlfriend, it might have lasted longer then!)
