He joked about the reprimand he got from Carlin over it. If only there were someone who could oversee Kelly's work and edit as need be during the creative process.

Lurdiak posted:It would gently caress me up so bad if I got dumped in the Marvel universe. I'd have to start hating Jonah and being scared shitless of Eddie Brock. You mean if you got dumped in the Marvel universe New York. If I ended up living in the same place I do now but just the Marvel Universe version I think (hope?) things would basically remain the same.

At least Ditko would have him using webs like tightropes but 99.999% of all artists since have never copied it or done anything else.

Dolash posted:What exactly are his powers, apart from rad driving skills and extremely genre-savvy career planning? If you ever played Crackdown and remember watching your vehicle upgrade, he has an extremely loosely defined ability to do that to any [motor?] vehicle. Or if Pimp My Ride was a show where each person's car was changed not by a team of mechanics and body shop wunderkinds but by Xzibit's Midas touch, that is Overdrive.

WickedHate posted:Wait, how the hell did a mob boss's injection do that? That's so broadly defined and magical! It's like if an amateur chemist mixed some prescription drugs together and created the Green Lantern ring. You probably don't want to look up Chemistro, who invented an alchemy gun. I suppose you could  Overdrive's powers by saying the nano-bacteria were already pre-programmed to work only within the narrow scope of advanced machine vehicles and with all the knowledge/specifications on the other technology necessary and compatible for pimping them up? Maybe some other beings looked at Earth and erroneously thought that cars were the dominant lifeform and created the nano-bacteria to rapidly evolve and change them, like when someone comes along in comics and decides to mutate humans.How Mr. Negative got his hands on it though, who knows. Fell out of the sky?

dordreff posted:Amateur chemists mixing drugs together is how like half the DCU got their powers. Don't hate. Overdrive's powers come from a similar source as Cloak's and Dagger's and considering what the two of them can do Overdrive is pretty underpowered. Nano-bacteria isn't as potent as synthetic heroin...?

Does the MCU exist where she comes from or only the comic books? Before the movie a lot of people who grew up and kept reading Marvel could be expected to not really know who those two were.

The character synopsis for Iron Fist back in the day was odd enough given that it's speaking in the second person but the weirdest part is definitely the first line mentioning his dad's balls.  Source is any old school Iron Man comic but specifically this is from his Marvel Premiere days.

Seemingly from an issue of Transformers, but I don't know which one. This could easily go in the Bad rear end thread (is it still around?) or the Good/Bad Comic Art thread, but I think it's funny enough for here.  Ever so slightly disappointed that Florida is not in its crotch but Italy is exactly right.

Cleretic posted:What corner of the MCU would he even be at his best in? I feel like all the casts his concept would work best with are too stone-faced for him (Captain America, Daredevil), while the characters he'd suit tonally are too high-powered for him (Iron Man, maybe Ant-Man). He's supposed to be an Avengers villain. His costume and main weapons are a combination of imitations of Avengers like Cap, Hawkeye, Black Knight. At his power level though he couldn't be the main bad guy in an Avengers film but he could be a part. I disagree that he wouldn't work in a Captain America film but only because I would expect Taskmaster to be a villain for the whole crew, not just Cap by himself. Taskmaster works best in a fist fight because you need to show him mimicking fight styles and having him go toe-to-toe with Cap, Bucky, Widow, Falcon, Hawkeye, etc. all at the same time would be cool. There's even some ready-made humour in having him imitate Widow's style.

Ashcans posted:This definitely belongs here because the idea that Reed has faced all these crazy dangers and villains and then goes down to simply being shot at is hilarious. Doom is sitting in his castle clenching his fists 'Shoot him? Shoot him?! How did Doom not consider that!' Because of his feelings for Sue in the moment and because of his powers, his heart swelled up way bigger than normal, making him vulnerable to regular bullets for a brief moment.

It's an old, admittedly cheap stereotype of Quebeckers and their love of Pepsi that we terrible Anglophones in Canada have used. The original is from Whedon's run on Astonishing and he says beer.
