O, Ok. It seemed like their space stuff was all tightly planned so thought it might be something.

Can anyone think of when Black Bolt's voice was first used as a dramatic device? Like as a fight-ending whisper/shout that signifies that poo poo just got real? (The first time I can think of is in What If v2 #4 where he takes down a Venom'd Thor but there's gotta be earlier and in continuity before that..)

Has Loki ever wielded Thor's hammer?

Cassa posted:Has Loki ever wielded Thor's hammer? I read a comic last night where he picked up the walking stick and shoved it in Don Blake's face if that counts, but I think any times Loki has been shown holding mjolnir it's been a trick or a fake of some kind.

Cassa posted:Has Loki ever wielded Thor's hammer? Marvel Adventures Super Heroes #19.  Odin gives it to Loki for a day because "haha gently caress you Thor, go show me that you're awesome."  That's as much explanation as you get in the whole issue and then Lok and Thor are off on adventures, where Loki uses it to smash stuff and fly and all that normal Mjolnir jazz.  Then at the end he just can't use it anymore because, surprise, Thor is awesome. But it seems pretty clear that Loki is only ever holding it because of some Odinmagic, he is never worthy.

While we're on this, I thought it would be a fun storyline if Loki reversed the enchantment on the hammer and made it so that anyone who was not worthy could wield the hammer. Cue Thor desperately trying to deal with a situation where everybody is carrying around his hammer and causing havoc. If you can't come up with half a dozen cool things to do with that concept then you must not be a comics fan.

What led Matt Murdock to become a defense attorney? I read The Man Without Fear yesterday and it talks about what drove him to study law -- his old man hitting him and the crisis of faith he had from it. And while I can see a line of thought that says "my old man was wrong and thus the government can be, too, so it's important to have defense attorneys," it seems flimsy compared to his belief that we need laws to protect us being a prosecutor's kind of mindset. Add to it the split in understanding that leads one to become a defense attorney vs. a superhero. I feel like if you put on a mask and unaccountably beat up bad guys at night, your relationship with the justice system is one that fundamentally has faith in its correctness. If anything your chief complaint might be that it doesn't do enough to get the bad guys. That kind of understanding, to me, is so counter to what motivates a defense attorney. Does anything explore that split sense of purpose? How often is DD depicted as other kinds of lawyers? I know he's a high profile civil litigator in the beginning of the Bendis run, and while I wouldn't call it canon, Superior Foes seems to place him as a prosecutor briefly.

Perhaps one way of looking at it might be to acknowledge that, in most criminal cases, there is a clear imbalance of power between the state and defendant. Many legal scholars believe that the proper role of the defence counsel is to redress said imbalance by giving the less powerful party an expert advocate. I guess that's a sort of vaguely legal realist view of the matter. quote:Add to it the split in understanding that leads one to become a defense attorney vs. a superhero.

Does anything explore that split sense of purpose? I think it's kinda sorta teased out a bit in a Spider-Man story by Peter David called "The Death of Jean DeWolff", where Daredevil's commitment to the law is contrasted by Spider-Man's vigilantism.

He's done literally everything possible in the legal system because bad writers tend to drop them all into one big bucket marked "lawyer". There's rarely consistency even in a run from a single writer, let alone between writers. I've been bothered by just how unethical Matt Murdock is as an attorney. If you can name a portion of the code of conduct for attorneys, he's violated it (except maybe overbilling his hours, but then I wouldn't be shocked if he did that as well). And not just in the 60's; modern books regularly present him as a terrible lawyer (though never acknowledge that). I know comics have him disbarred on several occasions but this is usually an evil plot and he's reinstated as soon as the writer decides he wants Murdock to set up yet another law office.

I forget the issue number, but it's one of the Spragg issues from after he comes back to the book. I think it's She-Hulk's friend Weezy, but she talks about the nebulous nature of comic book scientists and gives Pym being an entomologist who built robots as an example.

He is not talking about his legal knowledge, but being a vigilante will mean he will have broken a lot of the rules for lawyers. Especially considering how much overlap the two tend to have. Matt Murdock is a terrible, terrible lawyer and really a worse human being.

What happened? All I know about Arena is that only two or three people died for realsies and that the follow-up series gave Chase a douchy haircut.

I ran through a bunch of issues looking for a specific example, but I hit a run where Murdock didn't do much as an attorney. Basically, any time he's in court or working on a case, he's almost always shown to be doing something that he should be disbarred for. Witness intimidation, conflicts of interest, and just downright dishonesty are common for him. This unethical behavior is very common in fictional lawyers because writers like to have good guys and bad guys, not two guys doing their jobs. So they'll be "heroic" and do things that violate the basic trust of their clients or break the law to help them.
