Even Gordon Thinks Superman’s a Dick.

Sep 30, 2005 in Batman, Superman, What Were They Thinking

I don’t know what’s funnier:

Batman basically agreeing that Superman likes to play G-d.

Or…

Commisioner Gordon, of all people, criticizing someone for vigilantism.

Hey Jim? That guy next to you in the funny mask? Your bestest buddy in the whole world?

He’s a vigilante!

Super-Traitors!

Sep 29, 2005 in Batman, Superman, What Were They Thinking

Wow.

Superman and Batman are pro abortion.

And they’re branded as traitors for it, too!

That, and believing in silly ideas like life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Those damn traitors.

I bet they didn’t believe that there were WMDs in Iraq either!

Avengers Fund Raising.

Sep 28, 2005 in Avengers, What Were They Thinking

Sadly, Peitro’s idea of a bikini carwash failed to raise the needed funds.

Note to Quicksilver – The Beast and Speedos are not a good combo.

Seriously though, 2k a month to live in a Mansion? Sweet deal… even with inflation.

More Fun With The Wasp!

Sep 27, 2005 in Avengers, What Were They Thinking

Ripped from Tales of Suspense #59!


My personal favorite line in there is Cap’s:

“The trouble with girls is – they all act like females!”

Poor Cap. He’d much rather be “scaring the leopard” with Rick than waiting for a dumb ol’ girl.

Double Take.

Sep 26, 2005 in Batman, What Were They Thinking

Double-Take.

I seriously had to check the panel three times to make sure what I
thought was going on was not, in fact, what was happening.

This is from a World’s Finest from the 80′s, BTW.

Iceman Gets “The Talk”

Sep 23, 2005 in Defenders, What Were They Thinking

You know, as awkward as it was when I hard to learn about puberty, at least I didn’t have to hear it from a Norse taker of the dead.

I love this bit: “Even I once had a mortal woman partake of my nature.”

Okay, I read the entire run of The Defenders, so I know what she really means, but out of context?

Woo-hoo!

—-

Incidentally, I decided not to scan Cloud, Marvel’s first transgendered hero. I thought it would be delightfully weird, but it was dull.

Except Iceman’s crush on him/her. Hee hee.

The Flesh! The FLESH!

Sep 22, 2005 in Defenders, What Were They Thinking

Okay, whoever had the bright idea of shoving The Blob into a speedo needs a good smacking.

Coupled with the no shoes look, you can’t help but think that he’s going into battle in his birthday suit.

…

Oh dear G-d, I just pictured “little Fred Dukes”.

Maybe if I pour Drain-O in my ear…

Okay, Read This One CAREFULLY.

Sep 21, 2005 in Iron Man, What Were They Thinking

From Tales of Suspense #46:

So Iron Man defeats the Crimson Dynamo by faking a tape of his boss ordering his death.

Forgetting the rather interesting idea that ol’ Crimsy can’t tell his boss’s voice from Iron Man’s…let me share that “real twist” with you.

Iron man gets The Crimson Dynamo a job at Stark Enterprises.

Let’s see… forge evidence, then trick the guy into not only defecting, but coming to work for you in your secret ID.

And the Communists are supposed to be the double-dealing, treacherous ones?

Marvel actually followed through on this when they introduced the second Crimson Dynamo.

Super Desecration!

Sep 20, 2005 in Superman, What Were They Thinking

Every now and then, someone will start a discussion on CBR about what religion Superman is.

I’m guessing… not Christian.

Why?

World’s Finest 286, that’s why!

He keeps his promise, too!

He’s hurled it so fast it’s caught fire.

So yeah, Superman… not a Christian.

Hawkeye’s Super Secret Origin.

Sep 19, 2005 in Iron Man, What Were They Thinking

As many geeks know, Clint Barton started out as a bad guy.

But do you know why this beloved carny went bad?

Let’s peel back the curtain of time and look at Takes of Suspense # 57…

This is why you should never be too critical of your partners, ladies and gents.

Incidently, this also explains why he was so eager to get his hands on Hank Pym’s “growth syrum”.
