EverettLO posted:It's been a long time since I read it, but from what I recall you'd have to read awfully far into it to get something that reasonable out of it. It seemed like a blender where Ennis threw all his stock ideas whether they fit the character or not. Fury Max Vol. 1 was Ennis simply 'having fun' with the character. Vol. 2, which just closed out this past Summer, went way beyond the original and is one of the best short-run books I've read. Fury: Peacemaker isn't bad either, showing a pre-SHIELD Fury in WW2 before he was dosed with the less-than-Cappish super-soldier serum and offering an alternate retcon on how he lost his eye.

Not to mention all they have to do is ~science~ up some loving reason that because he's the Master of Magnetism and iron is so important to human/mutant/earthling physiology, that he's able to keep the iron in his body super-purified to the point where his blood is the perfect antioxidant. Hence, slow aging...and the only reason he looks older is because he's quite literally the Angry Old Man of the Marvel universe and he's always stretching his entire face to SCREAM OUT HIS BELIEFS!

Ignite Memories posted:Wait, so superman's sunlight-based power includes regenerating his clothes now? Pre-Crisis, the suit was made out of speshul Kryptonian fabric that regenerated and repaired itself under a yellow sun, but since Superman routinely fights in places WITHOUT a yellow sun present (which is why I never understood why he could keep kicking rear end off-world, especially in a place like Apokolips), it's since been amended that the suit (but not the cape) is protected by Superman's 'aura' of invulnerability. Either explanation works here - either the ~divine sunlight~ allowed him to regenerate and make his suit even more badass, or the sunlight merely regenerated his 'aura' and he *thought* the suit back to normal. The red glow around him seems to suggest the latter. The book Irredeemable didn't have anything to do with Superman, but it did float a lot of potential theories that are applicable. The main 'superhero' in that one goes 'insane' in the same sense Joker does, sort of - just decides one day to go from being the greatest hero to the biggest villain. Turns out, he's the 'child' of these two benevolent aliens who were assigned to watch Earth, and despite having Superman-level powers, he doesn't understand them. He's more or less 'Q' from TNG-era Star Trek, and never knows it.

I think the best part of that 'cat' picture is that Elektra's 'mounted' Frank, which just makes me recall this non-MAX Punisher story. In it, Elektra starts killing all of Frank's targets before he can get them, anticipating the next hit before Frank can even rack a round. This makes him think she's just loving with him before she kills *him*, since for some reason he confesses hearing a teasing feminine laugh each time after he realizes his prey's already dead. On one last hit, right before he pulls the trigger, he realizes at the last second that the hooker with his target is Elektra in disguise. He confronts her before they kill all the guy's lackeys - she confesses that the only reason she killed his targets was "because she was bored," and then, no poo poo, he *asks her the gently caress out*.  Source: Punisher #27 (pre-2013) Another panel in the same issue, where Frank's face is loving priceless:

Batman can't put a piss flap in the batsuit because while it might grant him the much-needed ability to urinate, it opens up an unacceptable weakness to Catwoman and Talia in particular (in addition to Batgirl, Diana, Zatanna, Jezebel Jet [since she'd have a new head thanks to the reboot], Silver St. Cloud, Peyton Riley, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, etc., etc., etc.). The Bat Chastity Briefs ensure that the world doesn't explode because Bruce is too busy clearing his pipes. "Superman to Batman, we need your help!"

WickedHate posted:So Deadpool obviously knows about what's going on with Spock. When Deadpool finally snapped and killed...well, *everything* in Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe, when Xavier attacked/probed his mind he suffered an immediate aneurysm and braindeath from what he saw (presumably *infinite* multi-dimensional insanity). Deadpool is Marvel's *reeeeally* hosed up Batman - when he puts his mind(s) to something, he can accomplish anything (which is why finding out he has/had a kid and that it's probably dead *wrecked* him for a few issues), he's unkillable (Punisher tried something like 20+ different exotic deaths in Punisher Kills the Marvel Universe including cutting him up into ~50 pieces and burying them all in separate places), and seems to have a rigged die for fate rolls because he's been hosed over so many times in his past that he's become immune to both good *and* bad karma. Reality and the fabric of existence hate him so much that anyone who ever gets remotely close to him suffers the slipstream effect of all the lethality and *hatred* targeted at him every minute of every day that he's able to just dust off just to maintain some sort of cosmic balance. The point being, it's pretty safe to assume Deadpool has the same near-omnipotence about everything and everyone good and evil that the Joker seems to in the DC universe, since Batman's always been in the habit of running poo poo that stumps HIM by an incarcerated Joker every once in a while, and he always seems to know everything about anyone. So yes, he knows about SpOck, probably because he smells SpOck's 'crazy' on Spiderman. He's a Mary Sue, he knows it, and god help you if he knows you. He's the most powerful *and* the most dangerous character in the Marvel Universe, his only weakness being chimichangas. That Watcher in Deadpool Kills Deadpool loves him because he's the easiest to watch - there's no way to interfere with pure chaos.

Ashcans posted:You know how some plants grow flowers that imitate bees/wasps/etc to help with pollination? Ivy should basically be that. As in, the actual Ivy is some crazy mutant plant creature like swamp thing (or even less human). But it needs to interact with people to get poo poo done, and it knows that people don't like giant squashy plant things. So it 'flowers' to produce decoy bodies when it needs them to handle people, then get discarded to whither and rot. You're actually not far off from something that they already did. I remember reading a story where "Ivy" seeks out Swamp Thing because she's "dying," and she does, only to have another "Ivy" appear and tell Swamp Thing that she'd been looking for that 'copy' everywhere. You're also not tremendously far off the story for "Harvest," which was a giant conglomeration of souls Ivy had killed via her plants. It was an *extremely* dark Paul Dini story where Ivy confesses to putting people (men and women) into these giant pitcher plants that digested them in a fashion that they didn't even know it was happening until it was too late. There was no rationale for her doing this, other than calling it a "guilty pleasure." She even went so far as to say that she'd even killed people who merely "returned her smile." I've been trying to get my hands on Dini's "Batman: Detective" softcover TPB for a while (at a realistic price) because there's also an exceptionally dark Joker story in it where he kidnaps Robin in a minivan that still has the dead family inside and more or less gives him the Gordon Fun House treatment.

It's a panel where what looks like a young (and apparently mentally-challenged) boy is literally licking a bulldog's rear end in a top hat clean, while saying 'num num num.' I don't even think DC would've allowed this in Preacher, and they allowed a LOT of poo poo in Preacher.

It just occurred to me. Iron Jonah is basically Marvel's version of the DC Animated Universe's General Eiling. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Wade_Eiling https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjAO2NRcPqs (basically what I'm expecting Iron Jonah to do) Fun fact: Eiling was voiced by J.K. Simmons, who played J-Cubed in the Raimi movies. And like J-Cubed, even after destroying several city blocks trying to kill some Justice League B-Listers in the hopes of attracting Superman (who was off-world at the time), he just leaps into the air still proclaiming he was 'right' even after they talk him down and tell him he's become what he hated, proving he'd learned nothing.
