I can see a couple of ways where that could be true, but either way it seems dumb and seems to go against how mutants in general get portrayed.

Blowing up Hawaii with your Nazi bombs would definitely weaken American ability to project power in the Pacific, especially back then. What good this does a Nazi (who is on the other side of the Atlantic, a much smaller and more heavily trafficed ocean) much less a Mars Nazi is an open question. If we wanted to use a tropical island as a rocket base we'd use Puerto Rico.

G'nort probably trumps them both.

Was Hal the first choice, or was Guy? Maybe the ring picks an incompetent backup lantern so that villains will be less likely to kill the primary lantern for fear that the backup will take over. You know, like how Nixon had Ford for a VP and Megatron has Starscream.
I think Guy and Hal were tied for potential but Hal was right there and Guy was over in Baltimore, so the ring went to Hal.

My first comics that weren't like, Donald Duck flies a spaceship without windows into a building, were the Muir Island saga thing involving the X-Men. I remember being very confused because a montage of X-Men gearing up made me think it was one guy shape-shifting, due to their identical uniforms.

No, that's Kamala's deal.


No more than DC could get sued if they came out with "Infinite Secret" or "Final Wars" or "Identity Secret" major events. I'm not sure, because IANAL, but I think DC could publish a book called "Secret Wars" and still be OK. It would be a dick move, but I don't think the term is copyrighted. Though if Marvel could prove that DC did it specifically to confuse people and steal sales, maybe.
I imagine the context would matter too. Like a Batman story arc called "Secret Wars" about crime family shenanigans versus - well - you know, something more infringey.

I was about to ask if anything like that had happened. I know there was that What If... some shady group wanted Frank to kill off all the heroes/villains.

Have we had a Batman-grade conspiracy with Frank, yet?

Something like where it turned out, "No, Frank, you've been groomed for years to be Punisher, your family's death wasn't an accident, it was actually carefully arranged as to seem random... Since you were a Marine recruit, you were special. Some powerful people recognized your skills and your potential, they made sure you had the training and the strength for when the time came. They knew all it would take for you to go after the scum of this world was to give you a reason and nothing left to lose."
Wouldn't this make Shadow Manipulator Man the actual author of all evil, and cast all the criminals of the world as mere bit parts compared to someone that vicious?

What I'm saying here is that the Punisher would then go kill that person. Which could be kind of cool.

If we accept "What have I got in my pocket?" as a riddle, per the writings of B. Baggins, then "Who is the Batman?" is no less legitimate a riddle. I would dispute his categorizing it as the ultimate riddle, but not its inclusion.
The Authorities did not actually accept that as a riddle, they just said that having accepted it as one, Gollum was honor bound to treat it as one successfully. If Gollum had been like "Nice try, dipshit" and eaten Bilbo he would have been in the clear.
