Just think, if that entrance exam had gone differently we might be looking at Hitlers in European art galleries, oohing and aahing over the artful use of light and space, and then looking him up on wikipedia and getting very disappointed when we reached the 'personal life' section. Like Degas. And instead, the third reich would have been lead by, oh, I don't know, an architecture school dropout Le Corbusier.

I think it's weird how people still believe that becoming dictator and committing genocide was Hitler's plan b in case art school didn't work out.

In fact it only has the one.

The original city plan was something along the lines of "as if hell burst through the pavement and grew".

It's a valid point. Given that you have like ten people in New York alone who can rip the fabric of reality apart, how would you know if you were insane in the MU?

I still honestly don't see why people have funerals in the MU (or DCU for that matter), even before Dawn of X death was at worst a minor annoyance for anyone.

It didn't hurt them when Thatcher took power though, a lot of British Sci-fi took exception to that monster.

One of my favorite parts about early X-Factor was that, in order for their clever ruse of being mutant hunters to work, they (editorial, not the characters) needed Beast to not be blue and furry so they came up with a random cure for his blueness and furitude that, for some reason, also made him really really dumb. And everyone else on the team acts like this is just normal Hank stuff despite him being for all intents and purposes a completely new character and different person than any of them had ever known before.

That is a totally fair assumption though.

Abraham Lincoln was actually pretty successful wrestler before he became president, so this tracks.

I like that Sabretooth's main goals as a super villain isn't to take over the world or get rich. What he aims for is simply making Wolverine's life as miserable as possible.

No, it's pretty bad. Doomsday was made with no backstory or anything in mind. Just appear, be established to be unstoppable by anyone else, kill Superman in a double KO battle, and then be shot into space so no one else had to deal with him.

Well, the plot was made by a committee in order to stall time so the marriage with Superman and Lois Lane could coincide with marriage episode of the tv show. So it's a wonder that it's comprehensible.

Someone in the comments pointed out that it was illegal for Americans to own most gold at the time, so this makes perfect sense. The gold would have been near impossible to sell, so using it as an indirect means to get cash is a sensible strategy.

You know another thing that was illegal at the time? Robbing banks!
