What's more ridiculous than Stilt-Man? The way that Stilt-Man was defeated by DD in their first matchup.

Rachel's gradually gone from looking like she escaped from the Cenobite dimension to looking like she robbed a Hot Topic. The coat screams less "I was raised in a post-apocalyptic hellscape" and more "gently caress YOU MOM I CAN BUY MY OWN CLOTHES NOW I WORK AT MCDONALDS!"

You'd think that after escaping the hellscape that she'd want a change of clothes. If only so that looking in the mirror didn't trigger her PTSD constantly.

Fun fact: In that issue Thor utters the words "Verily, Stilt-Man, you are a mighty foe!". Which is not a sequence of words you'd expect Thor to ever say.

Or, you know, just get out of the armor.

Edit: Thor should totally keep on being a dick to Tony though. Feels like he let him off too easy for the whole cloning thing.

I'm thinking rather specifically of the OHOTMU from the mid-1980s and that issue of Marvel Two-in-One where the strongest humans on Earth get abducted to box with the Champion.

Colossus in the '80s, before he got powered up a bit, was in the 70-ton range. Ben Grimm is 85, Thor and Hercules are "Class 100," Sasquatch is 60-something, Namor is 85-ish if he's been in the water recently...

Sasquatch is basically (like all the others) "whatever the writer wants". Here he is throwing a 250 ton plane...

Is that first panel supposed to be some sort of mid-transformation pose, or does her face always look like that?

Mid-transformation. Snowbirds powers were always kinda lame (fitting for Alpha Flight). "Oh, no! She can turn into any arctic animal! How will we ever face off against a snow fox? Guess I'll just use my eye lasers/total control over the weather/indestructible metal hide/cut-trough-anything-claws..."

Until she could turn into a white Sasquatch she was dead weight along with Puck. At least Puck was cool.

Here's Puck putting the sword back in.

Also, he loses some of his soul in the process and that's why he's small..? Dwarfism means you have less of a soul apparently?

I'd blame Byrne but I think that was a Bill Mantlo issue.

Shoot, that was just in the first issue.

It's not like Deadpool hasn't come back from having his head blown apart before.

Literally the very next panel.



EDIT: That's the top of Uatu's head where he starts expositioning for the reader.

That comic was possibly the worst comic I've ever read.

And I've read Identity Crisis.

Was Scott always such a weenie from his first conception or did that come about during a certain run and then get crystalized?

From issue 1 Scott is all about whining about his eyebeams/how he can never let his guard down lest he destroys everything he sees/secretly pining for Jean/wishing he was Warren when he sees her making a move on Jean/being a spoilsport to the other X-Men when they just want to have a good time, man.

e: Also in issue 1, his name is Slim, not Scott. Though that is later retconned as a nickname

Is Thor bulletproof? I'm not sure if it's ever come up in a comic I read. I know the other Asgardians were super impressed by assault rifles in Simonson's run.

Thor took punches to the face from pretty much everyone from Hulk to Thing and shrugged off Iron Man's repulsors, so I'm going to say he's bullet proof and didn't have to twirl his hammer to deflect those bullets.

Why wouldn't he do it though? Just looks like good fun.

E. yup, bullet proof
