iron man gets a bad rap.

and worse writers

The bullshit he pulled on Cap and the rest of the superhero community is some high level douchebaggery though.

Superman Vs Thor is way more interesting to discuss.

I thought Thor had powers based in magic, which Supes is vulnerable to. Look at this shit from Wiki for Thor:

Thor possesses a very high resistance to physical injury that approaches invulnerability. Thor also possesses keen senses that allows him to track objects traveling faster than light, hear cries from the other side of the planet and ventriloquism. Thor has the ability to travel through time. His stamina allowed him to battle the entire Frost Giant army for nine months without any sustenance or rest; Thor has also shown the ability to regenerate wounded portions of his body, including entire limbs or organs, with the aid of magical forces like Mjolnir, Thor has superhuman speed, agility, and reflexes, enabling him to deflect bullets with his hammer. Like all Asgardians he has immunity to all Earthly diseases and some resistance to magic. However, exceptionally powerful magic can overwhelm Odin's enchantment that transforms him between Asgardian and mortal forms

Behold the power of the Green Lanterns.

At least the Blue Lanters were introduced. I like the Blue Lanterns. They're the only decent alternative color. Every other color spectrum fucks you over in some emotional/physical way. The Blue Lanterns are just gimped power-wise.

That's what they want you to think.

The Blue Lanterns are technically the most powerful lanterns but their power is almost nearly completely dependant on the presence of a Green Lantern.

boooo @ space whale entity

but maybe a Blue Lantern could drain the rage from Hulk and maybe even cure Bruce Banner lol

lmao @ broken hands Spidey

I have to read that comic someday

 

[Chamber]

I really can't stand the Rainbow Corps idea. Green Lantern just needs to get back to basics.

Yeah but it's all situational. They are my favorite color spectrum group though. HOPE!

Also I wish the Yellow impurity didn't make you "evil" because fear isn't that bad of a way to enforce and hunt criminals.

 

[MegaKungFuRadio]

I spent hours paging through the Marvel wiki last month, they're all bullshit.

Except Beak.

Yeah the Blue Lanterns are awesome. Saint Walker is one of the best characters to come out of that massive arc.

True about fear (in its association with deterrence). Sinestro would have more going for him if he still wasn't power hungry. I thought he was more of an anti-hero in/after Blackest Night. Maybe not though.

but Kryb is just wrong. horrifyingyly wrong. lol

 

[Fimbulvetr]

Don't you guys think Iron Man is just the most villainous hero ever or maybe just a gigantic oozing bag of douche and dog turd?

Is this about Civil War?

Cause, yeah, that was a total farce.

 

[Poyunch]

Sooo disturbing/disgusting.

Yup

 

[Ifrit]

I love this thread

 

[bangai-o]

Yup

the Cyclops faecoff with Iron Man was cool. Cyclops > Iron Man

 

[SUPREME1]

That's his cousin, you sick fuck!

Hulk is ramming spiked armor up his cousin's ass, yet I'm the sick fuck?

During the whole Civil War storyline I actually sided with Iron Man until Millar decided that they needed one side to be "evil" and had the Registration heroes go way overboard with stuff like cloning Thor and teaming up with supervillains. Civil War should have been more of an issue with a grey area and neither side being completely right.

Negative zone prison kinda sealed that deal early on.

cloning Thor

why would anyone need to do this

there's a whole race of aliens out there who can potentially be just as powerful as thor, go kidnap some of them or something

 

[Poyunch]

I love that little moment with Punisher and the Secret Avengers during the Civil War. It was hilarious how everyone reacted when he killed those two villains (can't remember who they were) point blank.

They wanted someone they could control. He was like what Sentry was for the Dark Avengers/Norman.

her action figure came with dead babies!

 

[Slayven]

never ever read the Old Man Logan story. Hulk and She Hulk pretty much create their their own race in that story.

 

[Poyunch]

Oh god, that is so fucked up. I got to check that out. Haha. No parent would buy that for a kid, lol.

 

[the_log_ride]

Old Man Logan is great, incestuous hillbilly Hulk notwithstanding. Spoiler for conclusion:

Spoiler

And Hulkie gets a pretty bad tummy ache towards the end

 

[the chris]

I thought the babies are supposed to be alive, as far as I know Kryb never killed any of the babies just the parents. That is such a weird sentence I just typed.

Hulk gets pregnant?

 

[bangai-o]

Hulk and She Hulk are related?

that sucks

 

[Bleepey]

It's sad comic characters only progress through powers and costumes.

Spider-Man had evolved quite a bit as a character, progressing through high school and college, getting married and separated and finally making it work with his wife ...

...before some lame comic dude came up with the deal with the devil storyline that reverted him back to his bachelor days. Because you can't tell good Spider-Man stories unless Peter Parker is a never-can-win single guy on the prowl.

Read Daredevil and Gotham Central.

 

[Hot Coldman]

fair enough

New question: are the Nova stories supposed to be a riff on the Green Lantern Corps idea, or is it just unfortunate similarities

because Nova seems really cool, plus I love his costume

More than likely unfortunate similarities.

 

[y2dvd]

How is the world not at peace yet with these superheroes having these OP abilities. They should be able to keep everything in check!

 

[G-Fex]

O boy I broke my hands...

That's fucking hilarious.

Yeah She Hulk is only into big dudes like Juggernaut and Hercules

 

[SilentProtagonist]

The cheapest superhero would be if they somehow mixed the crazy regeneration and adamantium bones of Wolverine with the smarts, gadgets, and "prep time" of Batman into one character!
Hahahahahaha-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Claw
Ohshit.

 

[Hot Coldman]

That's good, I was reading his Wikipedia article earlier and I couldn't help feeling it was a GL rip-off, what with dude landing on Earth, granting human his powers before dying, and human using powers to fight cosmic menaces. The later stuff kinda dispels that though, like Secret Avengers and such.

I'd love to see that character show up in an Avengers film.

 

[thetechkid]

Because you have villains just as powerful with plans to steal Cage's money.

Oh and Iron Lantern is a great combo.

War will likely always be a part of mankind's existence?



In Superman: For Tomorrow, Supes intervenes in a civil war (in some African nation) by literally taking away every single weapon from both sides. Just flying around and snatching them right out of their hands. Thinking he's done the right thing, he watches as they all then pick up stones and start pummeling each other.

Pretty depressing.

 

[Anticitizen One]

And Hulk will keep on coming.

This has to be the most fun topic on GAF in a while. It has stayed mostly civil, and is a nice nerdfight.

This scene always pissed me off. Lobo should have won. Wolverine winning is unrealistic.

 

[imoTEP12]

He only won because the fans voted it that way I thought?

 

[Momo]

Bane saved Batman from being killed by a random dude called Ricky the rapist, for me it's by far the most hilarious and contrived shit in all of comics.

 

[Narag]

That's correct.

 

[MisterHero]

IIRC only SOME of the DC vs Marvel fights were voted on, while Wolverine vs Lobo was definitely a voted fight

Marvel won more fights lol

 

[BosSin]

I can't be bothered to read through the entirety of this thread and I'm not an avid comic book reader, so where would you put Apocalypse on the scale of cheapness?

 

[Oldschoolgamer]

Cable tried at one point.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Thor did not take kindly to being cloned either. He had some things to say to Tony when he returned:
(the lead up to the scene is nice, but I would not really call this a fight. Before these pages, Thor hit Iron Man once or twice, then decided to end it.)

And afterwards, Tony complains about the suit being broken and not being able to get home. And Thor tells him to take a walk.

I can't be bothered to read through the entirety of this thread and I'm not an avid comic book reader, so where would you put Apocalypse on the scale of cheapness?

Cheap in the fact that they talk about how uber powerful he is, but in the end he is rather lame and never really shows off. Apocalypse is very overrated.

 

[imoTEP12]

Sometimes Apocalypse is shown to be pretty bad ass like in either messiah war or messiah complex where he shows and completely owns stryfe

 

[the chris]

I still call bullshit on Aquaman beating Namor by dropping a whale on him.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

And Stryfe was never that great either.

 

[beat]

He hasn't appeared much. There was an awesome miniseries called DC 1 Million during Grant Morrison's run that introduces him. He appears mostly in that, All Star Superman, and maybe a couple of other comics.

I like the few Grant Morrison things I've read, but even more than Warren Ellis recycling that multi-universal stack idea, I get the feeling from Morrison uber-fans that almost everything Morrison writes ties together and that just sounds exhausting to get into this late.

BTW, from some crossover, and via the Kanye + Comics Tumblr:

So you're saying Supes was too lazy to take the rocks too, huh.

I prefer this version of how it went down between Thor and Tony
