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?

There's an Avengers story where Diablo, using gamma-irradiated soil from a town the Leader previously destroyed with a gamma bomb, creates a potion which he uses to turn an entire Greek village into Hulks. Hank Pym has the bright idea of using Pym particles to merge all the Hulks into one gigantic Hulk, which they can then shrink down into a miniature Hulk. They get the first part sorted, then the gigantic Hulk destroys his portable laboratory, so they're stuck dealing with a 50-foot tall Hulk trying to smash them.

That may in fact be the one idea Hank Pym had that is worse than Ultron.

PS: it was pretty common for Clark Kent to stand for Bruce Wayne in older comics/cartoons with the latter using this to fake his way out of "I'm not Batman, see??"

Usually it was Clark standing in for Batman, not Bruce or wearing a rubber mask or something though.

Man, what are Internet communities like in the Marvel universe? I mean, I'm sure there's still plenty of fan/slash fic (Kamala mentions shipping Wolverine with ... someone I can't remember), but it must be weird being fans of people/factions that cause so much collateral damage.

I imagine it is exactly like the modern internet except the horrible people are praising Dr. Doom instead of Donald Trump. "Sure, he's a horrible monster but he speaks his mind!" "He might have tried to shoot the Fantastic Four into space but he's got confidence!"

So we're okay with the mime reminding Ben yet again that he's outwardly a stone-monster and people will endlessly judge him solely on his appearance, but rear end in a top hat-mime getting a little karma thrown his way by someone very close to Ben is too much.

This loving website.

Ben had his feelings hurt by someone he was aware of. The Mime literally is weeping in horror as he believes he is going to die. These are not equal. The mime is a shithead but the response to someone making fun of a friend of yours is not to pull a gun and shove it in their face.

I'm not tearing my hair out over it but I just don't genuinely think it's funny.

Or maybe if you live in a world where it is common public knowledge that people have super-powers it's not a wise idea to make fun of their friends

Last I checked, who the Fantastic Four are and what they can do was not a secret.

Just a thought.

I live in a world where people carry guns and I still would think someone is lovely for pulling a gun over an insult.

It's the "work which becomes a genre unto itself". The creators literally put that statement in the opening title sequence, and it's lived up to it ever since. Its stylistic originality and influence is basically unsurpassed in anime.

That is some pretty extreme exaggeration. Cowboy Bebop is a good show but it is not the Ur-Anime from which all other shows are formed or whatever.

"The joke behind Squirrel Girl, created by Will Murray and Steve Ditko, is that she’s an unlikely hero who looks sort of ridiculous in her furry mammal costume, yet somehow she proves unbeatable against every dangerous villain or crazed maniac she meets. One may wonder if the gimmick has the sticking power to support an ongoing series, but it’s worked pretty well for Batman for the last 75 years."
