They're part of the nightshade family but so are a lot of edible plants like potatoes, peppers, and eggplants. Native Americans were growing tomatoes as a food crop for thousands of years before Europeans discovered them.

But I do like the notion of some 18th century botanist taking a poisonous plant and saying to himself "I will not rest until this is food."

That was my first thought too, but apparently:

dordreff posted:

Ronan the Accuser, main villain of the film Guardians of the Galaxy who likes to blow people up for not being one of his species. In the comics he's basically an alien version of Judge Dredd.

The Question IRL posted:

Ronan's hammer is a "Universal Weapon" that is capable of manipulating cosmic energy to produce all kinds of effects such as energy blasts, force fields and changing the gravity in a given area.


Also, it functions as a hammer.

Could still be a potential Captain Marvel crossover 'cause of the Kree connection.

And if it is the Guardians, will it be the movie crew or the original Guardians? You know Newspaper Spider-Man doesn't like to admit that the Marvel universe has changed since the 1970s.

It's been said before, but I love Newspaper Spider-Man. Also IMO Ronan was pretty boring in the movie, hopefully he'll be more interesting after Lee's done with him.

And I bet the reason he looks like some weird DOOM Thor right now is that the colorist has no idea who Ronan is.

It could be that or just a smugly righteous backstory with fortuitous timing. Either way it's pretty dumb. This kind of heavy handed retroactive moralizing is ridiculous. "I wrote my fictional character into a real atrocity saying all these superficially awesome things". Geez.
