He lead a secret black ops mission against direct orders from the president into Latveria, which ended up blowing up in his face when an army of Latverian robots showed up in New York. Also he mind wiped the heroes who went with him.

Yeah last I checked Quake was Director and Maria Hill was back to Deputy Director, unless something happened in Secret Avengers to change it.

Genesis killed him by attacking him with flesh eating beetles to get his skin (full of adamantium) to give Wolverine a new Adamantium skeleton so he could be Death.

Soonmot posted:But at one point it was explained that because he is a tree his vocal cords are only able to produce those sounds. I think it was an issue with the Inhumans. Yeah, Maximus said that Groot's race gradually lost flexibility in their vocal cords as they aged, but considering that was Maximus who's main character trait is being cuckoo bananas crazy it was probably bullshit.

ROM's problem isn't a labyrinthine rights tangle, it's that the two parties who hold the rights aren't willing to pay one or the other for what is honestly a pretty cold property.

Alien Rope Burn posted:If memory serves, the justification was that Magneto had essentially lost his mind on account of his powers overwhelming his sanity. This was the same crossover where he tore out Cable's cybernetics and did a worldwide EMP, after all, so he'd firmly off the deep end at that point. If Colossus hadn't been a member of the the Acolytes at the time (thanks to a head injury - no, really), I'm sure Magneto would have torn his skin off while he was at it. God, was it really that long? I would have guessed 5, tops.

Because if not, they all be fronting to a certain degree. In Steve Gerber's Defenders (Which everyone should read because it may be some of the best comics ever) the Red Guardian was also a neurosurgeon. She was so good Strange called her in from the USSR to perform an operation. Just. Just don't read anything involving her after Gerber's Defenders.

Gavok posted:Hell no. Charlie Nash is a Barry Allen/Bucky Barnes hybrid of a character who looks like cartoon Egon, does one-handed Sonic Booms and will not loving die no matter how many times M. Bison tries to wipe him out. Plus he's the only entertaining part of the terrible Chun-Li movie, even if it's because Chris Klein is so terrible that it loops around into him being amazing. You're goddamn right! Although I will go to bat for Michael Clark Duncan as another entertaining part of The Legend Of Chun-Li, because Michael Clark Duncan popping out of a limo to shoot off rockets while laughing his rear end off is cinema gold.

Since this conversation came up, I off-hand mentioned Gavok's History of Street Fighter Comics article to my dad, mostly to joke about how bad the Malibu Comics run was. This lead to my dad spending half an hour talking about how he used to borrow Len Strazewski's Tomb of Dracula books in college and he should totally email him sometime. Gavok, good at video game articles and bringing families closer together.
