Yeah, that's why I'd never recommend the book. If you like seeing people strangle each other with their intestines, it's great, but other than that, steer clear.

Towards the end, though, there's a lot of "I live in a terrible situation so I'm going to try my damnedest to make a functional existence out of this."

Glad to see some progressive portrayls of transgenderism in comics.

My favorite part of that page is the phrasing in the first panel. It's procedural, sure, but it's an amazingly descriptive way of putting how that feels into words.

ISeriously, if you actually extrapolate 'power of MAGNETS' to the limits, you get something ridiculous, because magnets and electricity are basically the same thing.

Magnets are cool.

I keep waiting for Magneto to come up against another cosmic-grade threat and go "I've decided you don't have electrons anymore." *boom*

My question is if it's recoiless, what's with Loki's goofy rear end posture after he shoots it?

"Recoilless" does not mean "zero recoil". A recoilless weapon has ports in the back of it that permit some of the propellant gases to escape, creating a thruster that reduces the recoil of the projectile launch long enough that the launch tube remains stable.

Nope, it's just masks all the way down. Layer 67 is a Horsehead Mask. Bruce was feeling puckish that day.

Batman is defined as the mouth of a wormhole which has its other mouth in a universe where the curvature of spacetime has been replaced with punching. The wormhole aperture is wrapped in layers of masks and costumes, and when gravitons from our universe impinge on the wormhole, it reverberates and lets punches through into our universe. Thus, as the Flash is connected to the source of all speed, Batman is connected to the source of hittin' folks.

People don't think too hard about Magneto's powerset because he controls one of the four Fundamental Forces. And that being the case, he could just... say, decide that someone doesn't have any electrons anymore.

Dr. Doom creates perfect little nanobots that can turn people into Doombots, of a sort. These also provide euphoria to the population of planet Earth. Because when everyone is Dr. Doom, that's a pretty good time. All the people of the world are united in harmony. And focused hatred at Richards.

The nanots are specifically tailored not to affect Richards himself. Everyone else is Doom.

They let him live because it's funny.

Well, hypnotism is linked to magnetism. People used to believe that you could hypnotize people with magnets.

Probably the best piece of fiction I've seen involving perception manipulation through electromagnetic interference is Blindsight by Peter Watts. But that's a book, not a comic, and you can't, like, hypnotize someone with a fridge magnet.

A powerful enough magnetic field run directly through the right part of their brain might revoke their enteric control, though.
