That might be worth it if the punchline is a panel of Frank Castle just sitting in front of his gun, scowling.

Sadly, no. But both Spidey and Moon Knight get some. And then Moon Knight calls Spidey on his Avengers communicator card, and overhears MJ and him talking about doing it. It's awkward.

She was initially conceived as not being related to him in any way, then some guy was like YEAH BUT THEY HAVE THE SAME POWERS!!! and made them related. Then Peter David had a very boring cliched reveal about Polaris' past that made her throw knives around for a couple issues that re-retconned her as not being his kid, but actually being the kid of some people she blew up when her powers manifested ridiculously early.

I'm surprised her reaction was to lose it instead of just going "Wow, my past sure is hackneyed."

You read that story entirely wrong. The X-Factor story revealed that she was the daughter of Magneto and Mrs. Dane, and that's what the Danes were fighting about when her powers manifested and crashed their plane. And then Magneto had Mastermind remove her memory of that so it wouldn't traumatize her. (Didn't work.)

I can never figure out if goons are being ironic about liking Squirrel Girl.

That art is loving dire and the character is standard "plucky wisecracking female protagonist". Suppose the writers know that there is a subsection of people who seem to lap that character up every time it crops up.

I completely, unironically love Squirrel Girl.

That's Baron Zemo Sr

Baron Zemo Jr fell into a vat of boiling, specially-treated Adhesive X during his first appearance as the villain Phoenix in Captain America #168, during the Secret Empire storyline.

Tons of stuff happened to him because of Thunderbolts though, so that might have been changed.

His face did get fixed, but then it got ruined again.

In fairness to Johns, the older guys in the JSA take him aside and tell him it's not appropriate and he quits the team (because his magical wisdom won't let him tell them his true identity).

Which is kinda stupid, because you'd figure if you can trust anyone with that secret, it's Jay Garrick and Alan Scott.

For me the goofiest use of heroes is that comic Marvel distributed to explain their growth as a company and their future plans. It's so ludicrous.

It was actually their annual report to shareholders. So the only people who got a copy were very serious guys in suits.

My favourite incident around that was Gilbert Gottfried doing a gag about it at a roast, and the whole crowd turned on him... so he launches into a version of The Aristocrats as a counterpoint. Basically an "Oh really, you fucks, processing tragedy via humour is offensive? I'll give you OFFENSIVE"

I saw that in The Aristocrats movie. The 9/11 joke is actually not bad; he talks about having to fly in the morning and being nervous because he has to catch a connecting flight at the Empire State Building. (The crowd's reaction is understandable, since it was like two weeks after.)

That's not at all how it went. Peter David got assigned Supergirl, thought the whole "she's a shape-shifting clone of Lana Lang from a pocket dimension where there were another Superboy and Supergirl who were friends with the Legion" was too complicated, so he went with "she's an angel" instead. He did that for 50 issues, then she was just Linda Danvers with Golden Age Superman's powers. 25 issues of that, then he reintroduced Kara Zor-El as part of a plan to rebrand the book as "Supergirls" (with Power Girl eventually coming in as well), but it got canceled, so he wrote both Kara and Linda out of the universe. Nobody ever really mentioned any of it again; the next Supergirl was Lois and Clark's daughter from the future, and she only lasted about a year before DC brought back Kara "for reals".

You know, considering at this point they've basically just solidified the Gamma Bomb as "turns people into Hulks" has there even been a what-if where nobody snuck into the testing range and it got dropped on a populated city or something?



America develops gamma bombs in WWII and drops them on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, thereby giving Japan an army of Hulks (or "Oni").
