Ape Has Killed Ape posted:Wood pulp. Or am I missing a joke here? Paper can be made from pretty much any suitable fibers. Wood is by far the most common today for new non-currency paper - but cotton paper is still paper. Content:  From Lois Lane #18. Kind of a creepy story with a bizarrely quasi-prescient 21st century ending. Lois is suddenly abducted by ASTOUNDING MAN, who has been admiring her from afar using wall-penetrating telescope rays and whatever, like what a sensible and charming thing to do is. He demonstrates his worth, and his admiration of her, as excerpted above. After securing her promise that she loves him for who he is and not his ASTOUNDING powers, it turns out he's actually an android controlled by a wizened old man named Oogamooga. Oh no! But Lois finds a happy solution:

That story is pretty relevant for today. Two old people double-catfishing each other with android surrogates? loving amazing. Also, as funny as ASTOUNDING MAN is, we already have characters like Mr. Fantastic who we can mention with a straight face.

X-Man #25 in the same issue:  You need a passing knowledge on X-Men history to figure out why it's so hilarious, but basically he made out with a clone of his mother and then proceeds to tell his mother's counterpart in 616 that he needs a mom. Guy has issues. This blog has been revisiting X-Man, and it's so absurdly 90's not to mention terrible that's worth a laugh.

Isn't anything that has to do with Cyclops pretty much one huge Oedipus complex, with emphasis on the complexity? Even from the very beginning, though he may not have known it, Cyclops was essentially competing with his father figure Prof. X for the affections of Jean Grey. Having evil, cloned, and future versions of your son and wife who fit all the various combinations of loving, loving, and wanting to kill each other is just adding more and more crazy layers.

There seemed to be a trend in the nineties for superheroes to wear the standard form-fitting costume, but with this huge leather jacket over it. Thanks to X-Men: The Animated Series, it's almost Rogue's signature look.

X-Man is Cable from the Age Of Apocalypse universe who didn't have the techno organic virus due to the alternate timeline. He would have been the son of Jean and Scott, and Madelyn is the clone of Jean. So he's making out with the alternate-universe clone of the clone of his mother. It's the same genes, he's basically making out with his biological mother. EDIT: That's assuming the Madelyne in that panel is a clone of the original Madelyne.

C'mon guys, the hilarious bit isn't that he is making out with his mom's twin sister or whatever, but that after doing it, he went on to find Jean and come up with a talk that's basically: "Hey, mom. Can I call you mom? I just totally had a thing with your sexy clone, like, hot drat! Can you be my mom?" What was the writer thinking??

Towards the end, I recall Warren Ellis did some interesting things with him as Earth Shaman, though I was a little confused at him becoming a mystical character, especially considering he was basically taking the same job as Doctor Strange. To contribute, here's Nightcrawler being either romantic or incredibly loving creepy:  Nice crotch placement, Kurt. From Uncanny X-Men 168.

The transformation took place the first volume of X-Treme X-Men, which ran between 2001 and 2004. I didn't mean to suggest he was trying to copy hentai or anything, just that it's what it ended up looking like. I mean, it takes place during a story arc where the villain uses his mutant powers to make himself look like Marilyn Monroe, one of his minions has orgasm powers and another wields an energy whip and dresses in the gimp suit from Pulp Fiction. Was it set in Japan as well? I can't remember. Wheat Loaf fucked around with this message at 20:14 on Feb 20, 2013 |

As a side note there was a small but healthy anime culture even in the 80s. People managed to get into weird, niche poo poo without the internet just fine back in the day. And Akira really blew the whole thing up for some folks, by the time the 90s rolled around people could rent that poo poo at a video store without much trouble.
