You have to appreciate simpler times, when the only thing you had to do to warrant some sort of hero status was just own something as mundane as a whip. It's basically the larval form of Flash's rogue gallery with people like Captain Boomerang.

Yes, Chamber is a low-level telepath. He is able to broadcast his thoughts but can't read people's minds or much else. His entire body is basically filled with crazy psionic lava energy that bursts out of his mouth-region; he actually destroyed a huge chunk of his body when his powers manifested, and his body is dead by any conventional measures that don't include walking around and changing your pants. He doesn't eat or breathe and there's a good chance he's actually just a purely psionic being who manifests a meat-shell to walk around in because that's what he remembers himself as being. Which makes it pretty appropriate for him to be teaching that class because he's got lots of freaky body issues!

That's kind of a weird question. I mean, blind people are perfectly capable of imagining things, albeit not in the same way people who rely predominantly on sight do. All he has to do is imagine something in his way and then use his willpower to create that from the ring's energy, which is what all Lanterns do. Obviously it might seem bizarre or difficult to interpret to a sight-based lantern, but there isn't any reason that his imagined boxing glove punching you in the head would be functionally any different from Hal's.

I appreciate how his legs just stop at the floor in a flat line, like they're supposed to be phasing through the surface or something. Not even an attempt to create feet or even hide them, just squaring his legs against the surface and calling it done.

MikeJF posted:I wonder what a Jedi would do against that stunner that they used on Leia at the start of Star Wars. It was too wide to bounce. I am guessing that a lot of kids (including me) had discussions with their friends about how you could beat a Jedi. We never had 'let him flail wildly for a bit and then just shoot him in the chest' on the list.

Avulsion posted:I always assumed anyone without force powers would just get shot before they got anywhere near their opponent. I can't remember the book, but I do remember an EU scene where Luke is meeting with some smuggler dude on his asteroid base and the guy is trying to work out if Luke might be a real Jedi, or just an dude who is a big enough tool to walk around with a lightsaber like he's actually going to use it without getting shot a dozen times. The idea that there are poser jerks in the universe who buy recovered sabers and strut around with them is pretty great.

Zach Morris should obviously be replaced by Kubiac from Parker Lewis Can't Lose as the heavy hitter. 1996 is a weird time, it turns out that most of the stuff I remember is either from the early 90s or the late 90s so it doesn't really fit. Looks like Sabrina got beaten out by the Craft for the witch spot. I guess you could put in Jarod from The Pretender.

I realize that page is probably from a long time ago, but I like to imagine that it's modern day and Strange was just the sort of enormous tool who would light up a cigarette on his way out of the operating room and rely on his ridiculous prestige to carry him over any problems.

I am amused that Batman is paranoid enough to think that the woman he's seeing is a robot, but not enough to assume that someone building robot spies would spring for real hair. That's even the easiest part of real people to get!

Stardust the Super Wizard was originally published in 1939, so yes, he was an 100% real and unironic swing at the new superhero genre.

Lobok posted:The car was destroyed but the past selves survived and got in the other car with their other selves. So there's two sets of them careening through time. It actually looks like both cars had one set of human Bebop & Rocksteady and one set of mutant Bebop & Rocksteady, and one set of the human versions was killed in the crash (you can see Bebop sprawled on the ground and Rocksteady still trapped under the vehicle right before it explodes). But both sets of mutants and one set of humans all end up in the surviving car.

That's supposed to be mask, right, Taskmaster doesn't actually have a skull-head? I am glad that most people just draw it like he has a skullhead, it animates and expresses way better than if they tried to make it look like some kind of mask.

Say Nothing posted:Taskmaster's ability isn't much use against real superpowers. This definitely belongs here because the idea that Reed has faced all these crazy dangers and villains and then goes down to simply being shot at is hilarious. Doom is sitting in his castle clenching his fists 'Shoot him? Shoot him?! How did Doom not consider that!'

I didn't realize Ghost Rider was supposed to be super-strong, at least not on the level of Cage or Colossus. I hope that he's pulling his shots when he's whipping regular joes with chains and stuff.

To be fair if you had a literally invulnerable super alien threatening to crush bankers because they were kind of poo poo, you might see some rapid reform in the banking industry based on the fear they would be straight-up murdered.

dont even fink about it posted:This sort of logic is at work in several properties. Dresden Files, for example. To a lesser extent, Shadowrun. Off the top of my head. Dresden Files is kind of amusing in this regard because the level of interference is basically arbitrarily set to enable Dresden to work like a noir gumshoe, so he can roll around in his classic car with a revolver and get ominous phone calls.

Well, I am just relying on the wiki, but from there at least it appears that the Batcave first appeared in 1942, while the Arrowcave appeared in 1941. Meaning that Batman is actually the imposter!  But Batman comes out ahead on the Batmobile (1940) and Batplane (1940) compared to the Arrowcar (1941) and Arrowplane (1947). I had no idea that Green Arrow was so old.

Of all of those I actually really appreciate 'arrowplane' because it is a good play on 'Aeroplane'. But it doesn't work nearly as well if you are American/Canadian.

Well, in that sense you could probably just say that he's kind of like the Batman of the Martians - he's not actually superhuman (or I guess, supermartian) but he's operating at the top level of his species capability in more than one category.
