Do not bring up the travesty that is WWH.


Reed Richards has 24 hours to come up with a gadget to stop the Hulk and that's what he comes up with?


Please.

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

To Reed's credit, before that, the only known way to safely subdue the Hulk was to have the Sentry calm him down.

[TheCorpulent1]

And, sadly, that's better than Thor himself has ever done against the Hulk.

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

Given the vast mischaracterization Thor suffers in most other series. Yah. =(

Well, he's done well once or twice.

Think of it this way Corp, Thor has given the Surfer an ass kickin' once or twice as well.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, ironically, he's had a better record against the Surfer, who should by all rights be more powerful than the Hulk. But it always comes back to inconsistency. Thor's powers are among the least consistent in comics.

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

Yeah. He did really well in consistency right before Ragnarok, when he gained his father's power, and beat the crap out of people with zero effort in everybody book he came across.

 

[Franklin Richards]

If Stan were writing him he could do anything. Time travel. Mass teleportation. I love it when he heals people with his hammer too.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, Thor bordered on '50s Superman-level craziness in Stan's initial Journey Into Mystery comics. His hammer could do whatever it needed to do at any given moment.

 

[Eros]

If Stan were writing him he could do anything. Time travel. Mass teleportation. I love it when he heals people with his hammer too.

Then reading a thor book would be pointless.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Reading most Silver Age comics is pretty pointless at this stage.

 

[Franklin Richards]

Then reading a thor book would be pointless.

Not really. Loki could do anything as well. Anything but beat Odin and Thor couldn't do that either.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

But Odin was incredibly oblivious back then. He wouldn't even know Loki was gone until Thor brought him back bound and gagged after trying to take over the world for the fiftieth time.

 

[Eros]

Not really. Loki could do anything as well. Anything but beat Odin and Thor couldn't do that either.

Then he couldn't do anything.

 

[Franklin Richards]

The man had things to do. War with giants and such. No time for his bastards.

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

So much for "All-Seeing"

 

[Franklin Richards]

He was feeding his birds!!! Gah!!!

 

[Eros]

So much for "All-Seeing"

If you had a grown son, who was powerful arrogant and refused to leave the nest.Wouldn't just you stop paying attention to him after a certian point.

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

What would -I- do with a son who had the same "gifts" I do?

Easy. I'd see just why he feels arrogant with a good ol' fashioned challenge.

Which, by that time, I'd probably be well past my challenging prime, so it'd be a good excuse to build something that explodes, and hopefully, not be like my dad and actually be the victor myself.

 

[The_Mighty_Thor]

Yeah, Thor bordered on '50s Superman-level craziness in Stan's initial Journey Into Mystery comics. His hammer could do whatever it needed to do at any given moment.

Yeah, it was almost like some kind if tool of the gods.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Heh, touché.

 

[Vartha]

Nice one TMTt:

You know, I always thought Odin being the All-Father meant Odin was supposed to see all, but a friend corrected me on that some years ago.
Odin used Huginn and Muninn or a magic pool of water to help him see into places far away, unlike Heimdall who can see practicaly any where.
Loki was always sneaking around behind Odin's back it seemed because Odin couldn't see him like Heimdall might if he where watching Loki all the time.

I know Vikings feared both Wolves and Ravens to some extent. It was more an unsettling fear with the ravens, I mean how would you feel with a couple ravens watching over your shoulder that could be Odin watching you? t:

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Odin also had that throne on the highest point of Asgard where he could look out over the whole world. I can't remember its name now, though.

 

[Franklin Richards]

Oh yeah. Didn't Heimdall sit there a couple times after Odin fell to Surtur? Jeez... he prolly became omniscient.

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

Dude's got a serious case of cosmic face.
