Retro Futurist posted:What the hell are ripples and stands? Stand-users are sort of like mutants, but without all the angst over societal bullshit and their abilities are usually more creative and unique. Rather than have a superpower of their own, they basically control a ghostly object (their stand), which itself has powers. The major characters tend to have stands in the form of beings that look like Aztec superheroes. Others have them in the form of less conventional things like bugs, cars, books, dolls, shadows, fog, water, etc. For instance, the main character from the third series, Jotaro, has a stand called Star Platinum. It's this robot-looking thing with super strength, speed and precision. It's fast and precise enough to pull a bullet out of the sky. Or there's a cowboy named Hol Horse with a stand called Emperor that's just a revolver, but it has unlimited bullets and can change the trajectory of the bullets in mid-air. While not a panel, here's a great badass moment involving Jojo. This guy named Steely Dan's been hired to kill the heroes. His stand is called Lovers and it's a tiny creature that goes inside the bodies of others. If any damage befalls Dan, the damage hits the victim tenfold. He places Lovers inside the body of Jotaro's grandfather and decides to gently caress with Jotaro. He orders him around, makes him do demeaning poo poo, abuses him and so on. At one point, he sees Jotaro scribbling something down. Dan sees that it's a list of all the stuff he's done to Jotaro. Jotaro claims it's a receipt for later. Even though he has all the cards, Dan kind of panics for a second and slaps him. Later on, the other heroes get Lovers out of Jotaro's grandfather, meaning there's nothing keeping Jotaro from loving Dan up. Dan pleads for his life and Jotaro walks away in disgust, saying he isn't worth it. Then this happens. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdAQJBOHVfA

I'm a roofer (Dunn and Reddy Home Improvements) and speaking as a roofer, I can say that a roofer's personal politics come heavily into play when choosing jobs. Three months ago I was offered a job up in the hills. A beautiful house with tons of property. It was a simple reshingling job, but I was told that if it was finished within a day, my price would be doubled. Then I realized whose house it was. Wilson Fisk's, the gangster. With your rap sheet, you're not even supposed to be here today.

Madkal posted:I know it isn't but that lady looks a lot like Lade Death. While the whole Avengers/New Avengers run leading into it is great, Secret Wars has especially little to do with the actual Avengers themselves. So here's what you need to know: - Black Swan shows up and becomes a prisoner of the Illuminati. She talks up this religious higher power and also how the multiverse is collapsing. There are these things called "incursions" where two alternate universes are on course to collide. Earth is the constant lynchpin. If one Earth is destroyed, both universes survive. If not, then both universes are wiped out. Even so, you're only buying time until the next incursion and the multiverse is still falling to pieces regardless. - Because this is such an impossible problem to solve, things get increasingly morally questionable for the good guys. Namor goes the furthest off the deep end. He starts a group called the Cabal with Thanos, Black Swan, Maximus and others where they commit genocide on other Earths just to save Earth 616. Ultimate Reed Richards later joins. Meanwhile, Namor and Black Panther murderously HATE each other. - Dr. Strange's quest to figure poo poo out leads him to stumbling across Dr. Doom (who it turns out is that religious higher power Black Swan kept alluding to) and Molecule Man. The ones behind all this were the Beyonders, an entire race as powerful as that guy from the original Secret Wars. Doom and Molecule Man partially thwarted their plans via decades of time-travel and reality-hopping. The three of them have their big final battle against the Beyonders and by the end of it, we don't really know who won. By the beginning of Secret Wars #1, the only worlds left are Marvel 616 and Ultimate Marvel.

The best post-Earth X thing was the Spidey one-shot where Peter Parker was stuck in a fantasy-induced coma. Mayday Parker went into his head to bring him back, but then had an emotional breakdown upon finding out that in Peter's fantasy world, his successor was a son he had with Gwen. "Why did you do this to us?"

purple death ray posted:Not his real name. Aside from the movie giving us Jack Napier the Joker doesn't have a canon name. Joseph Kerr was a frequently used alter ego, where how obvious it was to Batman was the joke. I think in Going Sane, it wasn't intentional for him. Just a new personality that took over and the name he subconsciously came up with. There's a scene of him looking at his mail and staring at the name, slowly scratching out letters before constantly shifting his facial expression until smiling while crying.

Wanderer posted:One of the few flaws in the Injustice comic, at least while Tim Taylor was writing it, was that Harley earned her forgiveness surprisingly easily. I reread the first volume recently and in the issue where Green Arrow recaptures her, she kills two cops as she's escaping, and nobody ever brings that up again. It's after Taylor left, but I thought it was odd that nobody ever called Harley out on her Shazam fixation. At least when Irredeemable had its supervillain turn heroic in light of a crazed Superman he knew to cut out the whole statutory thing.

Reposting this, my favorite badass moment from One Punch Man. It's not about how powerful he is, but what he does with that power.Gavok posted:In this story, he's taken in for questioning by some police because there's a killer described as having a round, bald head out there and Saitama's seen wandering around with some blood on him. He explains to the chief that it's monster blood and that he's a hero. On one hand, the chief offers him some food and doesn't really interrogate him. On the other hand, he goes off about how much he hates the Hero Association because it makes the police look like chumps. They do good too, but they don't ask for the attention. Then he pours his heart out to Saitama over a cop who was murdered by said killer.

Jiro posted:HA! That's loving awesome. The first and only thing tangentially related to the prequels I will say was good. It's been posted in the touching panels thread, but there's a really good short story taking place during Empire where Vader is in a room with the disassembled pieces of C3PO and has a flashback to working on him with his mother. It's mainly remembered for an awesome panel after the flashback of Vader silently holding C3PO's forehead against his own. Also, someone should post the pages from the Vader ongoing where Boba Fett told him, "Hey, found out the name of that kid that blew up your Death Star. Skywalker. Anyway, bye!" and Vader doesn't take it too well.

Infinitum posted:In the long history of crossover events, have the TMNT ever teamed up with DD? I did a long bout of research on TMNT crossovers for an article a while back and strangely there's been no Marvel/TMNT crossovers. DC, Image, Sonic, Hellboy, Power Rangers, Mortal Kombat, X-Files, Ghostbusters, Alf, Cowboys of the Moo Mesa and so on, but the closest thing to a Marvel crossover is Ready Player One, I guess? I haven't seen it, but both turtles and Marvel properties show up in that, right?

Nah, the meanest one of all is the What If for Atlantis Attacks which instead of being caused by one moment is caused by three separate things failing, followed by 40 pages of every Marvel character being killed one at a time. ...or the one about Bruce Banner being a wife-beater. That one's pretty rough.

Samuringa posted:I was thinking about it, Saitama has some spider-man bits on him. Never recognized from his acts, always broke and relying on sales to buy groceries, no one knows who he is because, despite fighting innumerable monsters over the years, he forgot to register at the Hero Association when he began, is in the lowest hero class despite all that, eventually is treated as a cheater and getting even less respect from his victories, is actually holding down his punches despite everything shown The OPM talk is good enough reason for me to repost my favorite badass moment. Saitama is brought in for questioning because there's a bald guy going around brutally beating cops to death. The police chief doesn't think too highly of Saitama, especially after finding out he's part of the Hero Association because in his eyes, the Hero Association is made up of egomaniacs who are only in it for the glory. The police may not be as effective against bigger threats, but they do their job and don't make such a big deal of it. The actual killer (a criminal who transformed into a monster) shows up at the police precinct and bullets have no effect on him. The police chief calls the head of the Hero Association for help, but that guy is a huge dick about it and relishes that the police need the Hero Association's aid.       In the next couple pages, we see that the head of the Hero Association sent a bunch of A-rank heroes and also made sure to alert the media. He wants everyone to see them save the police.

site posted:Oh man him standing up to king It lacks the gravitas of Mumen Rider and his letter, but it makes me think of this great moment from What If the Avengers Fought Galactus? In this world, the Fantastic Four died in the crash from their origin, which means no Namor, no Captain America and Dr. Doom is off having awesome adventures with Nick Fury. Once Silver Surfer and Galactus show up, Uatu goes to the Avengers for help. They set out a call for anyone who was ever an Avenger up to that point. While Thor is busy getting his rear end kicked by Surfer, everyone else is taken out and we only have Hercules standing at Uatu's side.   Not only is Swordsman completely out of his league, but his time as an Avenger was as a betrayer working for the Mandarin, so his brief stand against Galactus feels like a big deal. He ends up surviving and earns a spot on the team once Galactus is dealt with.

Secret Weapons #4. So Valiant has its own megalomaniac counterpart of Charles Xavier and this book is about the people rejected from his institute for having worthless powers. Like a guy whose only ability is to make anything inanimate he touches glow. Of our main characters, there's Nikki (can communicate with birds), Avichal (can turn himself into unbreakable stone, though it makes him immobile) and Owen. Owen's deal is that he conjures objects, both on purpose and randomly, and he can't choose what the object is. It always seems like something worthless in regards to the situation, but as the reader goes further and further into the book, it becomes more apparent that these objects are imperative to his survival, usually in a roundabout way. They're being hunted by a creature named Rex-0, who wants to kill them and steal their powers.      (Nikki's okay!)

DCeased: A Good Day to Die The Anti-Life zombie apocalypse has happened. Mr. Terrific has some ideas on how to stop it. He puts together a team of himself, Big Barda, Mr. Miracle, Booster Gold and Blue Beetle. He tries to rope Constantine into this, but Constantine says that magic won't stop the virus and resigns himself to hiding out and getting drunk. Terrific's final idea is to have Booster use his time machine to go back and stop all of this. Unfortunately, while everyone's fighting off the overwhelming horde, Waverider stands in Beetle and Booster's way, claiming that Booster is banned from changing the timeline and he's going to be taken into custody. Constantine appears and momentarily subdues Waverider with some trickery and a headbutt. It's all for naught, as events going on in the world have caused so much havoc that Booster's ancestors are killed and he ceases to exist. He fades to nothing while giving his goodbyes to Beetle. Waverider's all, "Welp, that's the end of that!"
