Ah, now I get it. So when Doom turned Namor away in the recent New Avengers, it wasn't because he was mad the Illuminati didn't come to him for help with the incursions, it was because he was a spurned lover.

I don't know, I think "TARDIS!" is a fantastic sound effect for a time traveler to use. Though I like to think his beam doesn't make a sound that sounds like the word "TARDIS!" but rather makes the TARDIS noise.

So is Squirrel Girl's superpower the ability to chew acorns and get hit by traffic? Because squirrels are all about becoming roadkill.

She has the proportionate strength, speed and agility of a squirrel. Also she can talk to them, and has a big-rear end tail. (Pun only sorta intended)

Male Man posted:

We have a really distorted modern view on the mythological Ares. A good chunk of mythology comes from Athens (patron deity Athena), who as you well know hated Sparta (patron deity Ares). So while a good chunk of the ancient Greek world had a more balanced view of the relationship between the two, in the mythology we know Ares spends most of his time getting into a drunken stupor and/or bloodlust and loving everything up (in both all three senses of the phrase). Then Athena comes in and is totally smart and pretty and fixes everything and everyone loves her.

But that misconception produces stuff like this, I'm all for it.

Well, that's Ares' description of his sister. In Hercules, she was a pretty amoral schemer, portrayed as worse than Zeus or Hera because she was dispassionate and wise enough to know better and not act rashly.

I would be down for a crazy silver age style storyline where Squirrel Girl marries Rocket Raccoon.

I suspect Bendis came up with that joke before they announced the Squirrel Girl ongoing, because I could almost see them doing that. If nothing else, I would be shocked if North and Henderson don't do a guest appearance/crossover with Rocket.

And that Power Pack one is barely a joke. Wasn't there an actual pitch for a MAX Power Pack series?

To be fair, wasn't that down to an editorial mandate that Superman had to be literally the last Krptonian, hence Superboy's a clone, Supergirl's a robot/angel, and Power Girl was from Atlantis or whatever they claimed at that point?

Awesome. I've started to get my 6 year old daughter into comics by using the Marvel Adventures line and Tiny Titans. This Supergirl one also looks like a perfect gift to give her.

It absolutely is. There's also the recurring gag with Kara's fantasy of being MOON!Supergirl. (Which is like regular Supergirl, just on the moon.)
