So is Wonder Woman. By all rights Batman should have become the best butler EVER (or been actually raised by bats).

Reed Richards should not be depicted as having a sense of humor. :colbert:
In the Marvel universe you either find Spider-Man super loving annoying or an inspiration and I'm ok with Richards being a better person when he's around.

Since initially Spider-Man quipped to hide how scared he was I posit that there is no mute Spider-Man because they never develop the confidence to become full-time superheroes.

This is why people gamble with getting powers. Even if you're a C-list superhero/villain, the odds of you surviving -- or even coming back from the dead -- increase a thousandfold.

Nameless construction worker who got snuffed in the latest Crisis ain't even gonna be mourned.
yeah but we don't know that, maybe that stuff all happens to randos too but we just don't see it

that's why there's so many all powerful wizards and gods all hanging about but they never interfere, they're all busy contriving all the ways random bystanders all "miraculously" come back to life.

like how all the people who returned in danger in Endgame were all saved by the magical heroes off screen (it doesn't take all of strange's concentration to create a tornado)

I'm pretty sure that Mephisto didn't wipe anyone's memories, he just got everyone to humor Peter forever.
like, the bad guys pretend clark kent isn't superman so that they can do crimes when he's working. I just assume they're doing the same thing with spider-man. yeah, they know peter parker and all that, but they're also happy that when he's nervously trying to get his costume out of the washer without anyone else in the laundromat seeing it he's not punching them in the face or adding "y" to the end of their name while punching them in the face.

honestly the smarter ones just need to hire a hot woman to talk to peter at a party for 20 minutes. world is going to poo poo because doc ock invented a machine that destroys velcro and every rear end in a top hat on earth's wallet just fell open and parker is trying to wipe his sweaty palms without firing his webs or spill his punch on himself.



he just fired his webs into his punch.

If you want to get double reverse mindfuck about it, have Clark seem really calm about the entire thing as it unravels, being gentle to the greatest extent he can with the paranoid cases behind it, and when one of them finally calls him on why, he says, with a certain weary warmth, "Do you think this is the first time?"

History has proven in 3 separate bad Fantastic Four movies that stretchy powers do not look good in real life but I guess Marvel's gonna hope that they nail it this next time!

e: I guess Elongated Man on CW Flash looks alright but that's one of the few times the TV budget helps since they don't try to use him that much and don't end up flying too close to the sun.
"into the spiderverse" introduced the perfect solution: cartoon fantastic four mixed with live action heroes. just have a full cartoon opening of the four being heroes and they have to come to the cinematic universe for some reason or another, draw them in a bright, cartoony style and have them be really light, cartoony characters just this side of "corny" and bingo bongo.
I mean half the movies are cgi anyway, why not?

not really, because everyone will immediately forget except him.
i like the idea that everyone just kind of breaks shockers stuff and tells him to gently caress off. they don't bother to arrest him any more. god drat superior foes was so good.

in the spider-man game i liked the little note on the torn piece of shocker cloth that you find that says spidey had to get a sample, research it, and find a way to use it against shocker and upgrade his own suit. then I thought of a game that's a spider-man version of "monster hunter" and got sad because it will never exist.

This had a cover date of October 1996 so it's an interesting case study of how broad the field of mainstream comics was outside of the popular Image-era stereotypes. Aside from the stuff I've posted here there's also stuff like a bunch of Pulido-style "bad-girls" as well as the main characters from Terry Moore's Strangers in Paradise. A really weird, neat artifact that does give Campbell some fun pastiches to show off.

just the worst art style. and it infected comics for so long
