I liked the one that ran through the annuals of Hulk, All New X-Men, and Spock. Spock gave some advice to the time displaced X-Men and it was the only time I ever really liked them.RevKrule posted:Everyone knows the only good annuals were the ones from that year that Marvel decided that every single one needed a new character. Complete with polybagging and trading cards. DC did that too, with the Bloodpack(iirc?). The only lasting impression any of them made was that Ennis made fun of the guy who could turn anything into a gun in Hitman One Million.

Aphrodite posted:The good guys win when a bunch of super geniuses invent a new element, and Magneto's ignorance of it means he can't control it and they use it to punch him in the face. It's highly unstable though, so whoever wears the Infinitum Gauntlet is sacrificing themselves to the incredible radiation. Nobody who is immune to radiation volunteers because every event needs a body count. Like Fallout 3! One of the neat things Irredeemable did was reveal that the evil Superman's powers were actually reality warping on a grand scale and he was only "restricted" to Superman powers because he didn't realize this. Wheat Loaf posted:Reed Richards would confront him with a wooden gun, and it would leave Magneto so spiritually and mentally broken he agrees to come quietly. God, I loving love that whole sequence.

Endless Mike posted:Superman is exactly as resistant to mind-control/telepath as any other strong-willed individual. That happened in an episode of Justice League, too. Superman and Wonder Woman had a brutal, kind of scary fight before they saw each other in a mirror and realized what was going on. Wheat Loaf posted:What's the earliest story where magic is explicitly identified as something Superman can't defend against? Further to that, when did magic become an explicit "weakness" for him (i.e. "the only things that can stop Superman are kryptonite, red sun radiation and magic") rather than just something he was no more invulnerable to than any normal person? If you see a story where Superman is flat out weak to magic and not just something that affects him like it effects everyone else, that's just bad, inconsistent writing.

X-O posted:The last time he wrote for either of the Big 2 seems to be for DC in 2003. Seems most of his Big 2 was for DC on Green Lantern related stuff. And this doesn't really hurt anyone's rep but his. This is like that time when an extra on an episode of Power Rangers was arrested and the media acted like it was a beloved main cast member. Wake me when it's Bendis or someone like that. WickedHate fucked around with this message at 07:05 on Jan 7, 2017 |

Teenage Fansub posted:He wasn't exactly an 'extra.' His Wikipedia looks scrubbed. I'm sure it had full credits last time I looked him up. I remembered the time the Wild Force Red Ranger killed his roommate(self defense, it seemed), but I was talking about this like...burgler, I think? It was awhile ago.

I mean, I didn't read the issue, but I don't know how context could make the pages posted less ridiculous and cringy. Even if it was cherry picked or whatever, what I saw with my own two eyes was pretty dire.

Edge & Christian posted:Then he hasn't been a rapist in any of the weird N52/cartoon/etc. versions, so he's really only been a sexual predator for about five years late in his 50+ year existence as a fictional character. It's *probably* something they could politely pave over with enough time/effort. Yeah, and eventually people will stop calling Hank Pym a wife beater.

Madkal posted:Kidding. This is just proof that Supes wouldn't tolerate whatever the gently caress it is that America is doing to itself. That's exactly how we got the Justice Lords.  I'm super salty because ever since Trump was elected and Nazis got punched, now everyone wants to dismantle the democratic process in favor of goodness through forced means like I've been saying for ages. I'm like the mythical seer Cassandra, cursed to always be right but never be believed.

purple death ray posted:Violence is acceptable as a means of excising virulent, existential threats to the common welfare and safety of the people, clear and present dangers to free society, not as a form of enforcing "goodness" or a sustained system of government. Most people who support punching Nazis are also against police brutality and the death penalty. Hth This isn't really the place to argue it tbh but Trump was elected legally and Richard Spencer was just exercising his right to free speech when he was punched, but when I'm radically opposed to "civil" evil I get called a delusional fascist. I support Nazi punching! Excising virulent existential threats to the common welfare and safety of the people is what I'm all about. Ergo Judge Dredd is good and cool.

There's this real underrated book from the eighties called Young All-Stars set during WWII that had a Japanese hero quit the team and join her family in a detainment camp in solidarity. Powerful scene. Still relevant. Should try and get my hands on some copies again some time.
