Mister Mind posted:Fine. bobkatt013 posted:New Gods 2 Maybe it's some inner fanboyism, but... This sort of thing is something you don't see often. The man is utterly self-assured in all situations. He's not active often, because why should he be? And yet you'll also see him walking around and being philosophical. He is always screwing with someone, somewhere, at some time. You could not easily see Luthor doing this to Superman even if his ID were known. Nor Joker with Batman. Kingpin MIGHT with Daredevil. I'm always reminded of the time Anarky of all people went to Apokalips, and Darkseid...gives him the time of day. Given the reason(Anarky wants to hear 'the nature of evil' and decides to go right to the top-there's also another reason that doesn't get revealed till later.) I both can and can't fault him.

Probably. In-story, he took some evil energy with him. Which he tried to counterbalance with Good from Batman of all people, as well as Chaos from Etrigan to remake the world. We end up with a massive dream sequence where everything starts good but ends up going horribly wrong. Might have wanted a better source of Good.

Lurdiak posted:Darkseid is the kind of dude that the mere existence of makes it hard for me to believe the DC universe can exist in a recognizable shape compared to our own. There's a guy out there who's basically the Space Devil, is theoretically powerful enough to mop the floor with every hero on earth, and he's pretty publicly known. You'd think that'd impact society a little. It also helps that the New Gods exist and are trying to hold him in check.

Well, of course not. He's The Rock. He might have been born Dwayne Johnson, took the stage name Rocky Maivia, but in the end he is, now and forever, The Rock. And the Rock is pretty fine with that. ...Thinking that and typing it makes it sound almost like a superhero comic in itself. Didn't he get a comic at one point, briefly?

Sigma-X posted:Am I the only one who thinks that shipping a bunch of non-gay dudes into couples is not hee-haw-larious but just dumb and juvenile and kind of belittling actual diversity issues in comics? Possibly. But the Xavier and Magneto relations have always been such over the years that people have called them 'a married couple' for a long time. They've had good times and bad times, arguments that are still ongoing. My own judgement on this is thus biased in this case. It's easy for me to picture them growing old together and such, like 'As Time Goes By' with super-powers. Perhaps it's just how long they've been at this that does it.

The way the sequence actually goes in the next issue is pretty strong and weird all on it's own, without need for Photoshop. He's about to break and just give up and die, he's hallucinating, but the last hallucination is Captain America(Going all 'I expected better of you' and such)...and from that, he draws the strength and hatred to survive. And he hates himself for it. I think it turned up here a few times. Bloodly fucked around with this message at 11:21 on Feb 20, 2016 |

Evil Mastermind posted:He tried to kill all the heads of state of the world, or something. They tried to take over the USA, via using several 'oxygen-destroying rays' to hit everyone in any position of power. Thee text calls out 'The President', 'congress leaders and cabinet members', 'publishers of newspapers and magazines', 'members of the FBI, the secret service and the military intelligence', big bankers', 'industrial leaders', 'doctors', and 'army and navy officers and enlisted men'. It was enough to cause rioting across the country. The President lives for certain, but it's unclear how much damage has been done across the country. The text says he's 'one of the thousands to regain a normal state of health'. There's two collections of Fletcher Hanks work: "I shall destroy all the civilized planets!" and "You shall die by your own evil creation!" Whether they've been collected into a super-book, I don't know. Bloodly fucked around with this message at 07:24 on Jul 4, 2016 |

quote:Yeah, it's suddenly hard to take MODOK seriously. He was always so dignified. I recall in the old days, he was one of Captain America's main foes, and taken seriously. It's only more recently that he's been seen as a joke. Though that's probably hearsay. Then again, his backstory itself is either impressive or silly. AIM take an ordinary man, mutates and experiment on him, and make him their new living computer/weapon. But he's too strong, and not only destroys the people that did this to him, but takes over AIM. In the end, that's nasty as all hell. Bloodly fucked around with this message at 19:25 on Jul 14, 2016 |

The best way to think of it, as far as I can see, is: They were always the 'Modern Stone Age family'. 'Modern' has changed. Not sure whether to judge it as good or foul.

Which is odd, because they've always been effective villains-in their own right, even, thanks to the Master Mold mess-in the comics. On the other hand they've also tried to take over humanity for their own good.

Against a boy that turned out to be 'Fire'(I.E it eats everything without fail). Thor also got into a wrestling contest with a cat that turned out to be Jormagandr the Midgard Serpent(And he nearly managed to life and toss it, too). A serving boy who was travelling with them ended up in a foot race against 'Thought'. I also recall some sort of contest against an old lady that turned out to be Death, and so unbeatable.
