Where do all the super specific numbers for Marvel stuff come from? Apparently Sue Storm's invisibility field can cloak exactly 40000 cubic feet, and she can make solid objects of up to exactly 100m in diameter. I've seen similar exact numbers given for strength and power distances and things like that too. Did Marvel decide to hammer all that stuff down at some point?

Lurdiak posted:The.... people... who write the official handbooks to the marvel universe have a very grognardesque fetish for unnecessarily specific details. Did you know that Spider-man's sticking powers come from a static electricity field he generates? That's because some nerd just had to come up with a reason for why it works through gloves. One of those guys posts on the official forums for Marvel Heroes (the Diablo 2-like game) and he's pretty much the worst. I think he did like the 2005-2007 handbooks. He whined for like 2 weeks when they created an original costume for Squirrel Girl that was a Christmas dress because 'Squirrel Girl doesn't wear skirts' or some dumb reason like that.

I always see Franklin Richards listed as the most powerful "Earth-bound" mutant. Is there an actual notable mutant more powerful out there, or is that qualifier just to be non-committal?

And as you can now see, the show has a guy with the name but none of the other characteristics of one of them and another guy without the name but quite a few of the characteristics of the other.

More than Meets the Eye and Robots in Disguise being the names of the 2 comics is pretty funny. Maybe they can start a bad guy comic called The Evil Forces of the Decepticons.

No, he's right. Shapeshifting herself a dick is one thing. Actually being able to impregnate someone would be totally different and be pretty close to just being able to copy anyone else's powers.

Random Stranger posted:I disagree, but we're going down the very dark path of Larry Niven, Jim Shooter, and Chris Claremont. Do we really want to debate the nitty-gritty of how superpowered sex works? It has nothing to do with the sex itself. It's her power. At the time she could only change her outward appearance. She might be able to do it now because apparently she's been made stupidly overpowered as per usual, but she used to have limits.

There's a lot of Avengers and New Avengers issues since the last thing you read and it ends in a couple of months so things are really ramping up now. Apparently tomorrow's issue reveals who the big bad is finally.

They make it sound harder than it is. You use a webpage that will let you download the APK from the store, and then a file explorer to run that APK. Just like installing a program on a PC. It only seems harder because first you need to flip the option to allow that, and there's no actual built in file explorer.
