Evil Reed gave her a high-risk power boost that should have killed her.

Have some more heroism from the best duo in comics. It's not their actions that are badass - it's their simple, naive, good-hearted optimism and indomitable spirit.

Wasn't Rockslide wearing a fake mustache under the hockey mask? I remember him with this giant, almost Tom Selleckian mustache from somewhere.

This was always one of my favorite "badass" moments in Superman comics.

Backstory for the 12 of you who haven't seen this before, Mongul (big yellow guy) ambushed Superman with a flower that takes over your mind and leaves you basically comatose, while giving you dreams of your heart's most desired things.

He didn't appreciate it.



I was a wee lad when this had come out, and that "Burn" moment still gives me chills.

Also, a page or two before that, where Superman wakes up from it. Robin's expression was basically the same as mine when I was reading this issue.

Agreed. She'd be way more badass if she was still incredibly strong but normal to short sized, like Kitty.

Eh, to be fair, the Earth 2 Jay got his power from Mercury (the God), and he kinda apparently made up the costume himself without realizing it. He thought it was part of the whole "Hey, Mercury gave me his power and this suit!" but it turned out he kinda made his own suit up.

I think I remember that one. Wasn't it something like she got captured by SHIELD for some random hulk reason and then had to fight some super intelligent cockroaches and ended up hanging out in the reactor too long? She absorbed too much radiation or something and was "stuck" as the She-Hulk.

I think it was around the time she was dating that Wyatt dude.

I always wondered why they bothered with UNUS THE UNTOUCHABLE because, basically the dude's power was "Hey, I can't be touched by anything. Seriously, it's like a body wide force field and I totally just, have pretty much no offensive capability whatsoever", but damned if he WASN'T A MUTANT POWER THAT COULD THREATEN THE VERY FABRIC OF THE EARTH ITSELF!

I think he became a supervillain because people kept calling him Anus though. That's gotta leave a mark on you growing up.

Eh, kinda. It started to get the better of him until it started pushing away all the air and suffocating him.

It's a nifty power, but at the same time you can be buried alive, lobbed in space, lobbed into the ocean, poisoned, blinded, deafened, etc. Just cause something can't touch you doesn't mean you can't be hurt or killed by something else.

My point though, wasn't that it's a poo poo power or not a poo poo power, it's that it's hardly the POWER THAT COULD WRECK THE VERY SUBSTANCE OF THE PLANET that Prof. X always said about these guys.

I think at the height of his power, he was hanging out with the blob in the circus, and I think he even went on a wrestling streak for a while. Not really the world ending threat that Prof made him out to be.

I'm guessing Flash is doing some sort of wind resistance kinda thing, or he's transport for the pieces as mentioned above.

I'm just getting kinda tired of Batman outdoing everyone and judo flipping Jesus cause he's the best thing ever and no one can ever smoke him cause he's BATMAN and that's just how the universe rolls.

The giant bat symbol is hilarious and reminds me of the bat explosive gel from Arkham.

I really like Injustice because it shows Batman having an enormous amount of trouble taking on Superman, and even being emotionally conflicted about it instead of acting one-dimensionally smug.

I really hope the guy coming after Taylor doesn't gently caress up the series too bad.

I seriously think that's why I love the series so much. When he fucks up, he fucks up BAD. Like when he kinda spaced on the fact the yellow lanterns were all but invading earth and sorta forgot that OH poo poo people are scared of Superman now, so Holy Fucknuggets he's got a ring now god dammit how did I miss that LET'S BOLT PEOPLE.

Jesus, I didn't mean to cause a huge derail. I just liked the Batman/Superman punch up. That's one of the very few times they are close in strength and power and Bats is still basically trying to figure out a way to get the gently caress outta there before the pill wears off and he's chili in a bat shaped smear on the wall.

The fight opens with Supes slamming him hard enough to kill him and being shocked that he's not bat shaped goo on the wall.

Well, to be fair he WAS the only one who thought about shooting a speedster in the kneecap.

I forget exactly when but it was a Teen Titans thing with Bart. You figure if anyone was literally "faster than a speeding bullet" it'd be the speedster guy.

Nah man, that dude has veins on top of veins on top of veins showing out of his skin. That is some poo poo comic art, and possibly poo poo anatomy (which I kinda forgive since the dude's an alien).

The only time I'd let poo poo like this pass would be with Carnage or Venom since they have that weird hosed up fake symbiote muscle poo poo going on, on top of their normal skin.

The only one I remember was a Superman one, where there was a point where he got cracked on the head with a lamp, and you had to choose between "fake being knocked out" or "reveal your identity", and I think either way you were hosed.

If you faked being knocked out, Luthor would show you this awesome piece of gold kryptonite he had lying in wait for Superman, and you'd be powerless.

If you revealed your identity, I think Luthor escaped and told everyone who you were and ruined your secret identity life.

It was kind of annoying.

"THAT'S NOT WHAT HE SAID"

Doesn't that mean the dude isn't dead and this argument is kinda pointless?
