He can only really poison people if they shatter into breathable particulates.

At that point, isn't it basically just lead? I mean it's being used here to just add a bit of weight to the front edge. But saying that he recycles sinkers from the local bait shop isn't as cool as him using depleted uranium.

Depleted uranium is significantly denser than lead.

It doesn't say 'depleted uranium' is says 'spent uranium'. Spent uranium fuel rods are super radioactive.

The best part of using Titanium as an armor when dealing with explosives and things that catch fire is just how big a deal it is when Titanium ignites.

Edit: Actual explosion from when the fire gets to the Titanium scrap is at 3:30 in the video linked.

I don't know if that was the same Titanium Man, the one you're thinking of was Topolov/Gremlin wearing one version of the Titanium Man armor.

And in that one Tony just set him on fire with his rocket boots (and we all know what happens once a Titanium fire gets going).

I don't have any comic books at my current location, so I'm going by what this guy says: https://peerlesspower.blogspot.com/2015/05/all-is-fair-in-war.html

(I remembered Stingray, but had forgotten about the Mandroids and Guardsmen.)

Side note: Tony faked his death at the end of Armor Wars and immediately started pretending he wasn't the guy in the IM suit. (He was assisted by Firepower, who helpfully nuked him in his red-and-silver suit.) (Actually, I know there was a nuke, but I'm not sure he actually got nuked. Stupid memory... :argh:)

It's the latest issue of "Batman". I only subscribe to "Superman" and "Batman", so I can't say to how good the other titles are.

Superman is basically the adventures of Clark, Lois and their kid, Jon.

Batman has been shaping up good too, and this latest one... I just really like how they're going with Clark and Bruce aren't just friendly, but actually good friends. There's real admiration for each other and also each wanting approval from the other. And they just *get* each other.

Also, I think it was last year(?) there were some issues of Clark and Bruce forcing Damien and Jon to work together to solve problems. The relationship between Damien and Jon is good and funny too.

Batman and Superman's relationship also led to the single best page since the Rebirth Era has started.

He's just completing the catch phrase from the first panel. If he says "Kite Man" he has to say "hell yeah" even if he just got his rear end kicked.
