Slayven, who would you say are the analogs to God/Satan in Marvel and DC?

In DC you have the Presence who is literally god and Lucifer who is literally Satan. Of course those two don't interact much with the world. Closest analog for the classic role of Satan belongs to Neron in DC.
In Marvel you have The One Above All as its god though I'm not sure if it has a literal Satan. The Satan analog is of course Mephisto.

Edit: Beaten by the main man himself.
 
Okay... here's one...

Do you believe that the Future Foundation is pretty much above the scale of the greater cosmic entities (Eternity, Adam Warlock Tribunal, etc) at this point in the 616? Heck, do some of those entities exist any more?

It's molecule man doing all the work, the foundation doesn't actually have any power, they are obviously very influential being the architects of all reality though.
 
Is Mary-Jane Watson canonically the hotest woman in the Marvel Universe? Everything I've read seems to suggest that's the case.

Also, someone at Marvel's early days HAD to have a thing for readheads between MJ, Jean Grey and Black Widow. Did anyone ever openly speak about it?

If you're a mutant, it's Jean Grey
If you're street level, it's Mary Jane
If you're anything else, it's Sue Storm.

The three most sought after women in Marvel. Could probably throw Storm in there, too.

But even Ben Grimm has talked about how hot MJ is. Hell, the first thing Doc Ock tried to do in superior Spider-Man was tap that.

Obviously in a top 10 the likes of Sue Richards, Storm and Jean will chart, but everything I've read suggests that they all pale compared to Queen Mary.
 
Now I'm trying to figure out top 10 hottest (in-universe) men/women lists.

Women
Mary Jane Watson
Storm
She-Hulk
Jean Grey
Black Cat
Black Widow
Medusa
Sue Storm-Richards
Scarlet Witch (?)
???

Men
Peter Parker
Tony Stark
Steve Rogers
Matt Murdock
Clint Barton
Starfox (kinda cheating, I know)
Luke Cage
???
???

Women have been known to want that T'Challa and that Namor. Well, maybe not Namor... Throw Johnny Storm under the 'Men' column, too.
 
Lord Slayven, is Dr Doom as an amazing villain as everyone claims him to be ?

And if so, what are some of the best storylines of his ?

The answer to your first question will, forever and always, be yes. From the beautiful cheese of the Silver-Age to now. He's truly godlike.
 
Humans are around 60% water. Aquaman has control over all aquatic life, even at a microbial level. Theoretically couldn't he instantly turn you into a massive tumor mass by ordering your cells to multiply indefinitely? Ruthless Aquaman in Flashpoint movie got me thinking what are some crazy shit he (or a version of him) does that isn't well known? For example, on the Justice Lords episode in JL, mean Superman was lobotomizing people with his eye lasers.

Excuse me, Mr. Slayven, Great Soothsayer.

Do you happen to know why Gary Frank drew Thomas Wayne to look exactly like his Superman (Christopher Reeve) but with a mustache? He's clearly a great artist so I doubt he's recycling-but it's very clear.

Young Bruce also looks quite a bit like his Billy Batson.
 
Dear Slayven, oh wise one.

Do you happen know know which writer worked on what stories in 52? I'm curious which ones Johns and Morrison did. I know Morrison did the one with the island of super scientists.

Johns did the Adam family/Isis stuff.
Rucka was Question/Batwoman.
I think Waid did most of the Dibny stuff, until the end which was heavily rewritten by Didio.
 
well i'll try to get some help :)
I don't remember the name of the comic serie..
like.. at all?

setting was some sort of fantasy + scifi?
protagonist was some guy partly robot with a skull-like face..

range of publication should be somewhere between 95 and 97 (take 1 or 2 years less in case, as i red it in italy and we always have at least 1 year delay)..

would love to give more hint but i honestly can't ;_;

try to help me gaf and Slayven!

Will ahve to give it some thought
 
Slayven, I'm curious about something:

Has Spider-Man ever been willing to kill someone? I mean, I think it's assumed he has a no-kill rule, but his central creed is 'with great power comes great responsibility'. That doesn't say anything about not killing. I don't think he's ever killed anyone, but has he ever been pushed to that point or been forced to do it or anything? Has he ever spoken about it? Other than yelling at Punisher not to do it.

Secondly,

Asides from Spider-Man and Daredevil, what heroes in the Marvel Universe have an explicit no-kill rule? I don't read a ton of comics, but it feels like in the Marvel Universe there's far less people following a no-kill rule than heroes willing to kill (might be the movies influencing me since villains tend to get offed).

Spoilers for Renew Your Vows, the Secret Wars tie-in run (also because the only online images I could find were maaaasive sized):

Don't ever threaten Peter's daughter.
Even though it was Venom, it still keeps him up at night in a later issue.

He almost killed Wolverine when they first met because he thought Wolverine killed Ned Leeds. Parker does come close, but he always walks himself back. Cause he doesn't want to be that guy, to him killing is the easy way out.
 
Slayven, give me three reasons for going back and reading Geoff Johns' Aquaman instead of just jumping in with Dan Abnett's issues and Rebirth.

Peter is a genius, dude could come up with a thousand ways to kill someone like Wolverine. It's a testament to his goodness that he'll never use a single one of them. Unlike Tony Stark, who builds telepathic inhibitors for LOLs on the off-chance that he'll have to fight an omega like Emma Frost.

Why kill him, when you can just keep embaressing him

Emma's not even remotely close to Omega though. She can just make closet Omegas use their full potential.
 
So I was browsing through the vine like usual and I went into a battle. It was the Thanos vs All Lantern Corps. It seemed like the majority were saying that Thanos would win. It got me questioning how powerful Thanos is/was and why is he so powerful?

Do you agree with the result or do you think the Lantern Corps actually have a chance at beating Thanos? The Thanos the OP presented is Thanos with IG.

Are there any being/s from DC that would give him a challenge?

With the IG Thanos is for all intents and purposes god. He has complete and utter control over reality itself as well as time and space. Add to that he can mind control any being he wishes.

The only thing in DC that would match Thanos with the gauntlet is Yahweh.
 
In Marvel The One Above All and Jack Kirby for God

Mephisto for the Devil

In DC: The Presence for God

Neron for the devil

When spidermans one more day came out did people find it eerily similar to Neron doing the same exact thing with him doing a deal with the flash to take away his love.

Been reading old flash comics from the 90s and was like, I think I seen this before.

Thanos is Eternal, an offshoot of humans that evolved to metabolized cosmic enegrry for a bunch of cool powers. He farther enhanced himself using tech and magic, he is powerful enough to make Odin sweat. So yeah he could take a good chunk of Green Lanterns.

Oh he has the IG? The corp would last as long as he wants them too, there is no counter they have for that.
