I assumed Doom couldn't conceive of a future in which he didn't exist, so all his scryings really did come down to a single option. Doom will rule the world, or destroy it trying.

For someone whose job is to get into wild fist fights with supervillains this design decision seems awfully irresponsible.

Eeh, you can say the same thing about Spidey's web shooters. The answer is something about it needing a specific pressure, so a fist or punch is too much to set it off.

But given that kid-Cyclops isn't wearing gloves, I'm going to assume the eyebrows thing is also true.

Actually, physically stimulating the area can cause men to grow more there. to the point that some soldiers which pound their chests with their rifles as they march end up having breast-reduction surgery.

So just imagine the Hulk pounding his chest like Tarzan a few hundred times a day, and suddenly...

If it's any consulation, the time Cyclops fixed Colossus head after it got dented inwards so bad he couldn't turn back to human form was in the 90's. And to fix him Moria McTagart, Beast and Charles Xavier fixed him with Surgery. Cyclops was using his Optic Blast into a machine to create the laser, so you could argue that the beam was only powering the machine.

Oh and I'm sure that in some comic they said that Colossus bleeds crackling Kirkby style energy.

Bah, when that happens you just soak it in some hot water and let the air pressure inside do the job!

Nah, comics have just tended towards being liberal(which is what makes the recent objections to Marvel's diversity and Captain America punching out racists so funny). That was soon after if not right around McCarthyism, after all. Conservatives are just so...creatively stunted, it seems. You wanna see a right wing hero?



Beautiful.

Wow... Is this a parody? It must be, right? There's no way someone could think that protesters for freedom of religion and expression were right-wing just because they gave the evil police hammer-and-sickle emblems.

Then again, if it is genuine, it's the kind of conservative who thinks that saying 'happy holidays' is suppressing their religion by not mentioning Jesus at all possible opportunities.

I do recall in Mystique's solo book she makes a fake test tube of goop in her pocket with her powers, and comments she made it the same way she does glasses and the like.

So yeah, always technically naked.

And on a DC note, given that Green Lantern costumes are projected by the ring, I wonder how often Guy Gardner showed up freeballin'...

His explanation is that he's a dog, he's attracted to other dogs, so her being naked to him didn't really have any effect.

But then he ends up dating a human later anyway...

You have to tap the image to unspoiler, but also tap the image to expand/retract, and the latter takes priority.

In ADTRW it's rude NOT to link to it.

Scanlators and other fan-sharing has a strange relationship with manga in that a lot of official places look at what's getting scanned to decide what to localise. Like how Netflix did with pirate-streams when deciding what to buy. And some official sites add links to new chapters on mangadex and other aggregators.

Jubilee becoming a vampire was probably the best thing that happened to her for a very long time.

It's a shame they cured her, she was a cool supporting member in Hellcat's series, especially when she turned into a cloud of mist with shades.
