There's nothing special about me.
The entire point of this is "Here's the universes that are horrible and should never exist and literally crumble under the weight of how much they should not exist."

That said it's still a bad comic. I had hopes that at least they were gonna all be FUN, dumb over the top stuff like The Red Death was, with Batman strapping The Flash to a batmobile that is also a cosmic treadmill and then ramping it into the Speed Force, but I guess I should have figured out that wouldn't be the case LAST week.

I still can't get over the fact that he's called The Green Lantern and all his powers come from a magic ring. (Yes, I know he has to occasionally recharge the ring inside the lantern or something, but still)

I mean, all the ring's powers come from the lantern.

I feel like the best thing to compare it to- and this is a weird comparison- is Empowered. It seems all goofy genre fun at first, and doesn't really lose it, but then this issue comes around and shows 'no, these are actual people here, not just punchlines'.

Superman: American Alien #4. Clark taking a few of his buddies from Smallville on a tour of Metropolis. (A lot of people in Smallville were in on the secret in AA.)

I unironically love Anti-Venom as a name because it is simultaneously the most silver age thing ever, and yet it's also a real thing that exists, and it's also incredibly literal and makes you immediately figure out what the general deal is. Unless you think it's, like, Venom that got blasted by Mr. Negative or something.

And there's way worse names. Like the aforementioned Spidercide. Or Dreadface. Or ZZZXX. Or Phage.
And it's not like we haven't had some DUMB versions of venom put on actual marvel comics before.

Did The Walrus (With his proportional strength, speed, and reflexes of a walrus) ever get a modern reimagining?

He was in Fear Itself: Deadpool as the main antagonist.

Thanos really sucks at keeping hold of the Infinity Gauntlet.



Okay, but does he, or is Deadpool tricking him?

Who has Wolverine actually killed to justify him being the best there is at what he does?

They actually address this once!
He killed Death. Or, like, one of Death's personal agents who goes after dying soldiers on the battlefield. It was also used to explain some stuff that was, then, recent yet inconsistent with Wolverine, like his healing factor being power creeped to hell, and was supposed to result in that being dialed back, but comic books.
