Also, if that Tenth Real is still positioned on the Norse world tree at least give it a wacky name like Hevenheim or something.

It bothers me more than it should, but "I... Darkseid!" makes Darkseid sound like a verb missing an object. You darkseid what, huh?

Also, he should have said "It is I... Darkseid!"

I'm pretty sure they meant "less than 1 yoctosecond" (since "yocto" is the smallest metric prefix) there; that there's no word to describe the specific fraction of a second he spent, not no word to describe the period of time at all.

At least, that was the implication I got? :v:

How about "YOLOsecond"?

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.

Not as egregious as the examples you posted, but every X-Man can become a teacher by having lived in a school for a bit.

Oh, I do not doubt that there are ways for the X-Men to legally teach at their school. I was more commenting on how next generation mutants wont be able to solve simple math problems because all their teachers know about is Transdimensional Transportation and Stabbing 101.

You might be thinking of Identity Crisis, where he stabs The Flash in the gut by holding his sword out and making The Flash run into it by herding him with exploding bombs.

It's a small wonder The Flash is not regularly decapitated by clotheslines.

I know this was already answered, but I wanted to yell ONSLAUGHT as soon as I read this. They somehow managed to create a character that is even more try-hard than Onslaught, and they named it after that one creepy movie with Jesse Ventura.

The panic is perfectly drawn. Clark just using every ounce of Super-intellect to try and figure out how to convince her to let him comp her papers, while not A) spilling Bruce's secret identity and B) not sounding like a selfish, bad son.

I like to imagine that Clark is afraid that Bruce has wiretapped the place and is in mid-meltdown at this moment. Because wiretapping the Kent's farm is totally something Batman would do.

There's this picture of Hulk lifting a mountain that's just complete crap, as that mountain would just crumble and bury Hulk in rubble. Or are the writers trying to tell me that Hulk has the same powers of tactile telekinesis as Superman? I find that highly unlikely.

I haven't read anything about evil mind-controlling Mr Fantastic but to me it sounds like his power works the same way as early Magneto's power to control others through his MAGNETIC PERSONALITY.

This always makes me laugh. Why would the Thing, or anybody really, care if the Thing's face got slashed up? He's already supposed to be an ugly inhuman monster. It's similar to the Abomination, who at one time got dumped into toxic waste and who should have called himself Abominationer afterwards.

Ah yes I got the failed attempt confused with the successful attempt.

No nose caveman Wolverine was probably the worst time to be reading the character literally ever. Killing him completely was way kinder.

It was a time when Wolverine turned into every single terrible 90s copy of Wolverine.

"The devil" is probably distinct from Lucifer. Haven't read nearly as many Constantine books as I should have though, so who knows.

"Sure, gently caress them!"

"lol why, it's just starving orphans. If God wanted them to live, they wouldn't be starving."

'Gift' is German for 'poison' so if you gently caress that up you can have a lot of intercultural fun!

Though there is the German word 'Mitgift' ('dowry') where the original meaning is preserved. Maybe some Germans really wanted to give their sons-in-law some poison and that's why the meaning changed.
