If Trump were to win, at least we'd get four(? Barring impeachment, total war, or the collapse of Western civilization, I guess) years with more unflattering appearances of the real-world POTUS in superhero comics than even Reagan had. That's at least some sort of entertainment.

what the-- Remember the old pack-in comics from He-Man toys? Bruce Timm did the pencils on those. He was also a character designer for She-Ra. I had no goddamn idea before now.

Madkal posted:Well him and the Shield, but who the gently caress cares about The Shield?* Years ago, I had a "mash all the superheroes into one reality, except some of the creator-owned stuff" what-if nerdversation, and my chum and I ended up with the Shield being a super-soldier created after Steve was iceberg'd, who later left soldiering to found an intelligence agency. He was Nick Fury's boss in the modern day. The hardest superheroes to fold into one world in this exercise were the Power Rangers, btw.

There's a storytelling style that's essential to them actually feeling like Power Rangers, though, and it starts to fall apart in a world bring with superheroes. At best we could get it like Captain Marvel and the Shazammies in the broader DC universe: changing up most of what was so distinctive about the property originally, but at least nodding toward it every so often. We did manage to have both the Green and White Rangers by having the latter be older Tommy who time-travelled from the future for some reason. And now I'm remembering all sorts of details about this whole idea, like how we folded the Mortal Kombat characters in to it because why not, right? I think Spawn and Scorpion and Ghost Rider had a three-way mutual resentment thing going.

You'll have to give a better idea of what you mean by superhero, because anything from Karen Rider to Ben 10 to Buffy the Vampire Slayer might fit what you're looking for.

I went looking for some old Hanna Barbera intros to show off non -adaptation superheroes (Mighty Mightor, Frankenstein Jr. and the Impossibles, Samson & Goliath, Space Kidettes...), but ended up abandoning that entirely in favor of watching old Fox Kids commercials. After 20ish years of having little snatches of this song pop into my head, I've finally been able to listen to the whole thing again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JH3sEH3K9B8 It's like a great weight has left my shoulders.

Madkal posted:My buddy and I were having a few drinks the other night and the question was asked "if you could be any Batman villain's henchman, who would you chose?". I ruled out Joker because he is pretty likely to kill you for no reason at all. Mr. Freeze would require you wear something warm everytime and you would have to deal with his terrible puns. Two-Face seems very vindictive and will also kill you. I was leaning towards Riddler because at least he isn't homicidal and you just have to let him think he is smarter than you all the time, but you would also have to settle for his stupidly over complicated schemes. In the end I picked the Penguin because while he can be vicious, he is more of a traditional mob boss kind of guy and not as homicidal as others. Since I missed this whole conversation when it was happening: I'd want to find a version of the Wrath who was way committed to the "Batman of Crime" thing, and join his inverse Bat-Family as the Jason Todd figure. Where Jason fights some crimes by doing other crimes, I'd interfere with the Gotham police and Batman through legitimate, above-board means: vexatious lawsuits, embarrassing/burdensome Freedom of Information requests, staging (properly permitted) parades and protests that impede police activity, generally being a public advocate for to-the-letter procedural propriety—that sort of thing. My villain name would be the Red Tape.

Endless Mike posted:Oh sure you do drawings AFTER Wrestlevania. If the angles look all hosed-up on the sword, it's because Psyklop has but one eye and so is v. bad at generating a mindsword with any sense of perspective. And if it looks like I took the Psyklop head cameo from Spider-Man & His Amazing Friends, the mind-butterfly effect from Psylocke's one appearance in Wolverine & the X-Men, and a piece of Kanjar Ro concept art from Brave and the Bold and edited them in Inkscape, GIMP, and paint.net before putting the result onto an old Filmation Original Ghost Busters painted cel background, well, I guess you've just got brain problems!!!!!
