The New Improved Official Stupid Question Thread Marvel Edition

[Ace of Knaves]

Ahh I see. Thanks

 

[Drakon]

I imagine it would just grant him some gamma radiation poisoning. The Hulk's power comes from something unique to the makeup of Banner's body, not necessarily his blood.

Then explain Shulkie.

 

[moraldeficiency]

I'm guessing whatever's unique to bruce is probably in his genetic line so Shulkie gets powered up and Betty gets dead.

 

[Drakon]

But if two people have it, then it's not that unique. Rare, maybe.

 

[moraldeficiency]

Unique to their genetic line. I mean in bruce's family you've got him and jen left, unless I'm missing someone. They die and the gene marker is gone forevah.

 

[Drakon]

I know. I was just giving you a hard time.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Well, rare would probably be more accurate, given Doc Samson, the Abomination, and various other gamma mutates.

 

[Manic]

SEMANTIC FIGHT!

*lowers the cage, changes the lighting, and lines the floor with inexplicably sticky popcorn*

 

[Silicon Surfer]

Betty has the gamma mutation factor too. She once mutated into the Harpy.

 

[taskmaster]

How long does it usually take after the end of an arc for the trade to come out, in either hardcover or paperback form? I want to know how long it'll take for me to be able to continue with the books I'm keeping up on, mainly Captain America, Daredevil, Green Lantern, Thor and whatever is going on with Batman.

 

[Anubis]

With Marvel it's usually a month after the last issue of the arc, with DC? It's whenever they decide to put it out.

 

[Ipodman]

Marvel is pretty good on HCs/TPBs... im seeing Dark Reign HCs on the shelves right now even though Dark Reign is not even over...

 

[knightrightnow]

I got one, what and who is MODOK, and is he more of a joke character that they use on Marvel for the action figure series, or does he really ever played a major role in the Marvel Universe. Seems like an interesting charcter, just curious? Are there any trades out there with him in them worth reading? Thx

 

[moraldeficiency]

Read "MODOK's 11" and bask in the awesomeness.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

MODOK used to be MODOC. It means Mental Organism Designed Only for Computing, now Killing.

 

[Still A ThorFan]

How come Thor gets owned by the Hulk when in reality he can just blow a hole through Hulk and go on with his day?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Because the Hulk is more popular with the masses than Thor.

I don't think Thor could just "blow a hole through the Hulk," though. His record against the Hulk should certainly be better, but it's not like it's gonna be easy to take the Hulk down.

 

[TheWatcher]

Yeah Thor sometimes does not get the respect that he deserves.
Corp-love your avvy!

 

[Sundancer]

I'm playing MUA2 and Iron Fist's alternate costume makes him look like something out the Arabian Nights. What's the story behind this "masked sultan" costume?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

There have been many Iron Fists through the ages. The alternate costume is not Danny, the current Iron Fist, but rather Bei Bang-Wen, the Iron Fist during the Second Opium War.

 

[BrianWilly]

I don't understand why he didn't just have his costume from the comics. Some of the alternate costumes in that game were really freakin' weird.

 

[Drakon]

Like Deadpool's alternate. I don't ever remember seeing his head in cellophane. Not that it's out of character, but still.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

It's Ultimate Deadpool. He's more of a cyborg. He's got like a plexi glass thing covering his skull so when he wheres his mask it looks like he has a face.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I don't understand why he didn't just have his costume from the comics. Some of the alternate costumes in that game were really freakin' weird.

The default costumes count as their comic costumes. There was an article in GameInformer about 6 months before MUA2 actually released where Vicarious Visions talked about their costume designs using Thor as an example. Basically, they politely said that the comic costumes were too simplistic, so they redesigned most of them. Hence, Thor in Roman-looking armor and Iron Fist with the SWAT vest.

Although, in VV's defense, some people actually like the redesigns.

People are speculating that they'll release more fan-favorite alternates as DLC later on because a) they take longer to make with MUA2's increased graphical quality, and b) a lot of video game fans believe Activision will try to nickel-and-dime us to death with DLC.

 

[BrianWilly]

Heh. From my experience, "Increased graphical quality" pretty much means "Make the screen darker! Make it even harder to tell who you're trying to hit!"

I like the game, it was worth the price. But I'm really having a hard time understanding how "Fewer characters, fewer powers, fewer costumes, fewer stages" works as a sequel.
