Tony Stark says hi. Considering he has wielded the Infinity Gauntlet, you'll have a hard time convincing himself that any kind of God actually exists, since he would know.

But the Fantastic Four literally met God.

Which one was the one where The Ultimates are hanging out drinking beers and openly watching Tony Stark's sex tape on the big screen as is that's something that people just casually do - watch videos of their friend having sex.

Also the Wasp patiently explaining the Quicksilver and Scarlet witch twincest to Cap as if it was another of those modern social conventions that his staid 1940s mind couldn't get. And not, you know, still recognised by modern society as wrong. Also, I think they leave a drugged Spider-Man passed out in central park at one point (they're the ones who drugged him).

There's a great panel of Mister Miracle and Oberon coming home to find Darkseid inside just chilling (of course) holding a video-tape which he enthusiastically tells Oberon to play, and I was going to post it until I looked up the source and realized it's from that awful John Byrne story about Superman and Big Barda making a porno.

Goddammit, Byrne.

You have to admit, simply waiting in a guy's living room till he come home and then giving him a video of his wife starring in a porno while under mind-control is the kind of thing you'd expect a God of Evil to do. Just to be a dick.

The rest of the story is loving terrible, though.

I don't hate it based solely on the fact that everyone is super young in this world, and she had to be a field agent of some sort early on to get as badass as she was before.

Honestly, I think I'm one of the (very) few who don't really mind all the New 52 changes. I actually really dig the look of the new Lobo.

Please don't hurt me. :ohdear:

I think she's actually a much more realistic if she's not a badass field agent-who would you rather have running your spy agency, George Smiley or James Bond?

That and it works so much better with her original backstory.

The "X" mask is because he's been trying to position himself as the public face of the X-Men and the real successor to Xavier.

I just read this last month, so let me help: First, the Headmen put Chondu's brain in Nighthawk's body, and Nighthawk's brain in a jar. Then, Chondu-in-Nighthawk's body tried to infiltrate the Defenders, and failed. So the Defenders, once they realized the truth, had Dr. Strange do a mind-swap spell so that Jack Norris's mind was in Chondu's brain in Nighthawk's body, and Chondu's mind was in the deer, so that Jack could infiltrate the Headmen and find Nighthawk's brain.

The deer, incidentally, was in Dr. Strange's house because Hulk adopted it after its mother was shot.

So where did the Deer's mind go?

They were her cousin's angsty teen goth clothes if I remember correctly. I'm going off Wikipedia and have only read Target X and the Marjorie Liu series, but doesn't the Zebra Daddy stuff happen later?

Is there a reason she works as a prositute by the way, beyond cheap titillation? I always wondered why she couldn't work as a translator or something, considering her language abilities. Or hell, get a filing job, she doesn't exactly get bored since she'll wait days for a target. She could use her claws as a human hole punch and bam, there's your thrilling comic.
Yeah, it's some of her cousin's clothes. I've heard people suggest that she was trying to emulate the styles of the people around her, but obviously didn't grasp the nuances of fashion. She didn't become a prostitute until NYX, which while published before this, took place after it, chronologically.

As for why they made her a prostitute: Blame Quesada, since he was writing NYX. As I recall the guys who actually created X-23, Kyle and Yost, were quite pissed off by this, especially as the character had been created for X-Men Evolution, before being introduced into the comics a la Harley Quinn. They pretty much ignored it in their own writing, for obvious reasons.
