So, uh, did they write Lois out or something? Because the whole 'Superman and Wonder Woman are an item' thing never worked for me.

Okay, I read that post as "she doesn't de-hulk often because she's already her ideal", meaning the 7 foot tall version of her with green skin was her Hulk form. I thought that implied there was a Banner form with normal skin tone.

That's the way it used to work. I haven't followed the comic in quite a while, so I don't know what her deal is now.

There's a five issue mini that are about each of the other five Immortal Weapons and Fat Cobra's is by far the best.

Is that the one that people have posted panels from here a couple times before? Any chance of seeing them again?

I'm drawing a huge blank, but I figure since the panels have been posted here plenty of times, someone will be able to answer: what was the name of that really old superhero (in terms of creation date, not physical age) whose powerset seemed to be 'wait until the bad guys fling everyone on Earth into space or something, then toy with them like a god as punishment'?

I love how everyone's solution for 'robot that is literally indestructible' is 'punch it more'. :allears:

So how does Comics Ultron usually get defeated anyway?

Also, I noticed Wonder Man in a couple of those panels. I was actually a fan of his 90s miniseries, at least before it got all dark and brooding. Anyone have scans of that? I'd especially love the '"Okay, go", Neil' page, which I remember to this day.

That was such a great arc. At one point he destroys all the guardsmen suits at a super villain prison, leading to a mass escape. Then he gets beat up by a government built powersuit so he builds a new suit that uses technology he stole from various villains while he was destroying them for using his technology.

In the epilogue issue he has a trippy nightmare about all the damage he's done, but he still doesn't recognize his own complicity. It's one my favourite iron man stories, but my copy was washed away in a flood years ago.

So, was the whole point of the story 'Tony Stark is a worse menace than the 'villains' he fights'? Or is there something I'm missing here?

That's one way to look at it. Another might be "don't steal from Tony Stark, because he's a huge dick about that."

Actually, both together really sums up Armor Wars quite well. That said, I still enjoyed those issues.

Well, I was looking more to see if this is what the writers intended, or if they were trying to write him as a hero and failing miserably, or what.

What gives Corrigan extra badass points is that he doesn't take the chance he has at moving on. People he cares about need protection and somebody's got to do it. Only he will do it.

Except didn't he just get done saying that the Spectre doesn't give a gently caress about anything but murdering people who crossed some arbitrary line? How's he going to protect his loved ones with that?

I love the idea that Hot Teen Loki is just a passing fad and inevitably he'll go back to silly hornhats and maniacal laughter and destroying the 9 Realms because he's Loki, and that's what he do.

Wait, didn't we already do that plot point with Actually Nice Kid Loki? I don't follow those comics, so I'm confused.

I love Principled J. Jonah so much.

Is that the end of that plot arc? Because Principled J. Jonah is badass, but ultimately 'Kingpin wins again' is kinda depressing. (Which I suppose makes it fit right into a Daredevil comic, which I assume that is.)

So what are Adam Warlock and the Silver Surfer waiting for? I mean, I presume the point of Cap's last stand is that he'll stand up against Thanos even when he has no chance of winning, not that he's going to pull something out of his rear end.

Her clothing is made out of leopards, that's a little weird when she's also in charge of leopards. Is it like when when super-villains wear the trophies of their defeated foes? Is Shanna basically the leopard version of Doctor Doom?

Oddly enough, Wikipedia has the answer to that question! The short answer: it's the skin of her leopards' mother, who got shot (not by Shanna), and she started wearing it (a) to help raise the cubs and (b) because, well, if you're a jungle queen, you don't wear denim.

I'm gonna need some context for what makes those panels badass. Because it looks like 'hero tries to rescue princess, fails so utterly and instantly that the dragon doesn't even bother to harm him, and runs away so fast he winds up in a different genre'.

You say that like he doesn't deserve it for said assholishness.

I think their point is that JMS wrote him behaving that way, so crapping on Iron Man for doing what he made him do is just kind of... making GBS threads on a character for no good reason. Like, if you don't like the character, and you can write the character, maybe try to make the character better?

Am I the only person in this thread who doesn't like the feel of pink meat? It's kind of... rubbery, I guess. If I were to eat at a steakhouse (which I generally don't), I'd get something where the meat was sliced thin; that way it doesn't get carbonized, but it does get fully cooked.

And because I try not to post here without a funny panel, here's one that's even relevant (I found it with GIS, so I dunno what issue it's from, but I assume it's Thor):

It's especially screwed up because (at least this is what Google tells me) the only reason Norman's dad is being nice to him in the first place is because he used the Mind Stone to brainrape his dad into not calling him a monster. Presumably 'because you're my son' is the sort of thing you say when you have no logical reason to like, much less respect, someone.
