It looks like it should say "Je suis Charlie Hebdo" or "9/11 never forget" across the bottom.

That's Baron Zemo Sr

Baron Zemo Jr fell into a vat of boiling, specially-treated Adhesive X during his first appearance as the villain Phoenix in Captain America #168, during the Secret Empire storyline.

Tons of stuff happened to him because of Thunderbolts though, so that might have been changed.

Oh right, then.

I wish they would stop with generations of people who somehow look and act exactly like their parents. It's silly and confusing. Especially since half the time their parents come back to life.

To be fair it's Alan Moore's not even slightly subtle tribute to early Marvel. Pretty much only his Iron Man stand in is not super obvious. But Red Brain is more of a commie stereotype than anything.

Beaten, battered, close to death, unable to draw on Light Side powers because it's outright blocked where he's at, and this was before there was any creed to spout to yourself. I remember that sequence.

Then again, people have also noted he wasn't much of a Sith Lord, based on his accomplishments.

I think it's more that every single panel is him being like "No, Master Vodo was right! Shouldn't do this!" (proceeds to do whatever without hesitation).

I'm not seeing an elbow in any of that. Is his one wrist just, like, attached at a perpendicular angle to the underside of his forearm?

I think the elbow is facing the viewer, and he's holding a helmet under his arm? His arm that is clearly held perpendicular to the ground so the helmet wouldn't fit? And that doesn't line up with his torso if that's where his helmet is?

Look, I'm still trying to figure out the neck, which seems to be positioned directly over his right leg.

Youngblood. WildCATS was Jim Lee, which meant the art was occasionally not completely awful.

Oddly, Alan Moore eventually did a writing stint on both.

Rob Liefeld is where 1963 comes from and Supreme, so I guess I should be grateful?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the infamous Superman cover where he switches Lois Lane's race via machine titled "I Am Curious (Black)?" I'm always astonished by the mainstream penetration (ahem) of that particular movie. It's hard to imagine two very visible superhero comics in 2015 making such casual reference to a Swedish art-house movie, let alone one with such a risque reputation.

You are correct. And yeah, that movie was a breakout hit even at the time for reasons nobody can seem to fathom.
