Oh, so the regular Marvel universe got its own White Event and generated its own set of archetypes, I see.

I forgot, but did they ever deal with Starbrand accidentally killing an entire town or did Hickman just went "...but then THIS". Because the last time a superhero accidentally destroyed a town, we got a lovely Mark Millar summer event.

The Marvel Universe at large didn't deal with it, but on a personal level, in Avengers World, Starbrand had to go on a mission to an underground city of the dead in Venice where he got a major mindfuck when all the spirits of his dead classmates rose up and swarmed him. Spoiler alert: He lived.

Heresiarch posted:Oh, so the regular Marvel universe got its own White Event and generated its own set of archetypes, I see. It is so far just a Nightmask and a Starbrand. But the machine is currently broken because of other things happening in Hickman's run so this White Event happened/is happening wrong. The Nightmask is a perfect human created by an alien gardener on Mars just because that's the kind of thing he does.

Lurdiak posted:Did people blame him for that time he lobotomized the planet? In fairness like only a handful of people know what he did there. And they aren't telling. I also get the feeling, personally, that while a Sentient Earth may have been a way of surviving the Incursions, I can't imagine the interests of a Sentient Earth and the Survival of the Human race are goals that coincide. For all we know, Starbrand may have saved all life on Earth by Lobotomizing the planet.

The big difference is that the guy who ends up as Starbrand isn't the kind of person who should have been given power. Although he eventually grows into it.

fatherboxx posted:Golgo 13 is so badass he assassinated a diamond A while back fellow Goons Slowbeef and Diabetus did a Let's Play of the Golgo 13 game for the NES. I read up on the Golgo 13 Manga. The guy has been active for a long while, and one of his many trademarks is making impossible shots. Like not just killing guys (though he kills a lot) but also some mad shots. Apparently one of the things he was hired to do was (I heard, I have yet to see the scans) is he was hired to shoot the Florida box that resulted in Al Gore losing the election.

Although he eventually grows into it. It doesn't really matter who became Starbrand though. Whoever he was before, he's been consumed by what he has become, and all those foreground people who would normally have gotten the power would have subsumed into the role of planetary defense system the same way.

It's from a manga called Black Jack, don't know which volume it is since I got it from Tumblr (which is also why the panels are all cropped up). Remember to read right to left.

House may have been rooted in Sherlock Holmes, but he's got more than a little Black Jack in him and absolutely everyone should read it. Not just that but his requisite moe sidekick is literally a loving cyborg he built from a teratoma (one of those tumors people find with poo poo like teeth and hair in it).

Big deal, like Blackjack's the only person whoever got drunk and made a person  Something to remember is that Tezuka was a trained surgeon himself, which somehow makes all of the blatantly impossible poo poo Blackjack pulls off feel even more awesome.

The manga's pretty good, but I don't know if all of it was ever collected and translated into english. There's been a couple of publication runs on it the last one started in 08 and ended in 11 and... drat that might have been everything.

Lurdiak posted:I tried to watch the anime and it was pretty generically bad, should I give the manga a try? Yeah the manga is waaaaaaaaaay better than the anime. I couldn't sit through a single episode of it. If you guys want to read it I would recommend checking out your local libraries. If they don't have it then you can usually do an inter-library loan and get it from somewhere else. If you don't do that then just buy some volumes off of Amazon. The stories are really self contained and they only call back to other issues once in a while. You could probably pick up any book and pick up what's going on just fine.

New Avengers #27: A while back: AIM accidentally unleashes a group of Avengers from another universe. These Avengers are evil (Thor's hammer is for the unworthy, Hulk is a sociopath that got lobotomized and is controlled by others) and generally are a bunch of dicks. Our Avengers fight then, AIM retrieves them and sends them back to another universe. All's well. Not so while back: Fury whispers sweet things to Thor. He can no longer wield Mjolnir. The current situation: Everything is ending. The multi-verse is hosed. The Avengers sends their heavy hitters to the far ends of it to punch the bad guys real loving hard. Now: The heavy hitters arrive at the home of the black priests, one of the factions that destroy Earths during incursions.

I don't know about this particular instance, but he's also really great at rolling with whatever he needs to. Peter Parker Spider-Man is specifically recruited in Avengers #1, but quickly it becomes Spock and he writes a great Spock for a couple issues and then quietly shuffles him off to the sidelines.
