Vincent posted:I forgot, but did they ever deal with Starbrand accidentally killing an entire town or did Hickman just went "...but then THIS". Because the last time a superhero accidentally destroyed a town, we got a lovely Mark Millar summer event. The Marvel Universe at large didn't deal with it, but on a personal level, in Avengers World, Starbrand had to go on a mission to an underground city of the dead in Venice where he got a major mindfuck when all the spirits of his dead classmates rose up and swarmed him. Spoiler alert: He lived.

Annnnnyyyway, here's some Cyclops #2 where young, time-displaced Cyclops is hanging with his space pirate dad... and fighting off the bounty hunters who are hunting his space pirate dad.

Plus, in this case at least, it's kind of justified, because Batman's suit ain't just your everyday WayneTech knockoff Iron Man suit. Batman and Robin 33 (I have no idea what Flash and Aquaman are supposed to be contributing, but a suit forged in the heart of the sun, the Green Lantern Central Power Battery, and supervised by Hephaestus (in the background of the Wonder Woman panel) has got to be pretty powerful)

Macdeo Lurjtux posted:This is an awful lot of legal analysis for a story where a criminal defense attorney argues a civil case. Hey, the Marvel Universe has 2 superhero lawyers and by god they will be used in whatever case they need to be used in, sense be damned. Also Daredevil and She-Hulk both have the same problem regarding writing that super-scientists do, which is that fields of study simply don't matter (see geneticist Hank McCoy's jet that he built for the X-Men or Ultron, created by biophysicist Hank Pym). Scientists just do science and in the case of She-Hulk, she just does lawyering, who cares about what area of the law she's supposed to practice in.

The reason people like Batman vs. Superman fights is because, even though we know Lex Luthor is a villain, deep down we are all more like Lex than we are like Superman and we just want to see the alien get beaten by our obvious human superiority. Anyway, here's another fight from the same issue of Injustice.

Yeah, IIRC its first appearance ends with Spider-Man driving the thing into the Hudson, doesn't it?

This might take a little explanation so I'll fill in gaps as I go... Inhuman #8: Black Bolt and Maximus have been MIA since the events of Infinity. Queen Medusa has sent out a crew to find them.    (The guy in the suit is Frank McGee, a former NYPD detective who just recently got turned into an Inhuman by the terrigen cloud. Now he has glowing eyes and the ability to shoot light blasts. He's kinda mad about the whole thing since last issue Maximus used Black Bolt as a weapon to kill his partner.)

net cafe scandal posted:How would a bomb help contain anything. IIRC from reading the issue, Banner's idea is that the bomb basically releases anti-Terrigen stuff that cancel out the Terrigen mists. But then of course after everyone else sees that they have the predictable reaction of "gently caress no we are not letting Bruce Banner build any kind of bomb", Banner gets mad and hulks out because no one will even listen to his plan before trying to shut him down, then everybody fights.
