Cornwind Evil posted:So I decided, on a whim, to try and list every single "Goblin" in the Marvel Universe. By 'Goblin', I mean "Flies on a foot-based jetpack, throws bombs, other weapons and powers vary": they don't have to actually have 'goblin' in their name. Wasn't there a Homeless guy that Norman Osborn kidnapped and made become a Green Goblin to throw people off his scent that he was the Green Goblin. Oh and I suppose technically there was one Spider-man What If story where the Spider Queen won the Spider Island story line. The only way for the Avengers to fight back was to dose themselves up with a variety of different powers to make them immune to being controlled by Spider-queen. So you had Hulk using Curt Connors serum to become a Lizard Hulk. Captain Marvel made herself into a Living Vampire. And Tony Stark dosed himself up with the Green Goblin serum to become Iron Goblin.

MH Knights posted:Dare I ask why Waller is red? Also, "sanctioned assassinations" for the Brazilian government sadly means killing indigenous people, LGBTQ+, labor/human rights organizers and other marginalized people. It's been a while but it was around the Infinte Crisis days and was a part of Greg Rucka and Checkmate. I think the idea was that De Costa had been jn the secret service and she was a Hard Woman who could do Hard Things. (Since spy Jack Beaur was in.) And I firmly believe the intention was "she I'd someone who is willing to murder bad arms dealers for national security reasons." Only the writer (again I think this was Rucka) had no idea that in the context of Brazil her background of "with secret service" probably meant she was putting Enemies of the State in the ground.

CzarChasm posted:I mean, he's probably DC's closest equivalent to Doctor Doom if that helps. For comparison's sake, Doom briefly wore armor made from the skin of his girlfriend - That's right up there. So during the Contagion storyline (or maybe it was the sequel) where it was shown that Ra's invented the Clench, he had recruited Bane to be his successor. It didn't go well. Otherwise I think you need to go to Alternate Universes. He showed up in Justice League the Nail (an Amazo had been sent to kill him and his followers. The Flash saved him and Ra's offered him the role. He turned it down.) He also had a prominent role in Injustice.

I AM GRANDO posted:Does dc use a sliding timeline? It has to be weird if Bruce Wayne has gone through like four orphans in seven years. Commissioner Gordon should be putting someone on that beat post-Epstein. From memory around the early 2000's (I think it was maybe after Bruce Wayne: Fugitive) there was a really good story in one of the Bat books (Gotham Knights?) Which was about a social worker opening up a case into the death of Jason Todd. (This was pre-Hush and Under the Hood so Jason was dead.) It's a really good story as the person is doing their Job, investigating why an at risk teen died in the care of a millionaire and the Bat family have to manage it without compromising their secret identities. Also it has scenes of Jason Todd as Robin smoking cigarettes and hiding it from Batman and Cassandra Cain pretending to be a Bruce Wayne fling to avoid suspicions from a social worker.
