Ok heres the point to this thread. You got a question you think is stupid come ask it here. No need to clutter up the forum with 800 threads about how far Mr. Fantastic can stretch. No one will make fun of you and ill make sure of it! . So ask away anything you want. Non-stupid questions are also welcomed.

Who in the **** are you calling a loser? This isn't an all that serious a thread, it was mainly created if somebody doese't know the anwser to something. Plenty of us "knowledgables" have been in here asking questions. And for people like Krypton, who clutter up the boards with dozens upon dozens of stupid threads. Get a grip, jackass.

who the hell is Q?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

A guy from Star Trek. He's characterized by the insipid twist of his mouth and his startlingly limited omnipotence. So limited, in fact, that he can't manage to outthink one bald senior citizen.

 

[Guyverjay]

Don't DISS THE PICARD

Besides Q aren't truly omnipotent anyway

How did Man-Thing become Man-Thing?

There was a man, Ted Sallis, who was working on recreating the super soldie serum that had created Captain America. He was working in this secluded cabin, with his wife, out in the middle of nowhere. His wife turned on him, planning to sell off his work to some bad people... He knew what was happening, and took off. The bad guys took chase, and ran his car off the road. Shortly before he had taken off in his car, he had injected himself with the super solider serum, to make sure no one else would get it if he were to die. That's full what he expected. Anyhow, he crashed into this swamp, and mystical energies combined with the serum changed him into a mockery of human life... The Man-Thing. Just to let everyone know, The Man-Thing actually pre-dates Swamp Thing, a common misconsception is that things are the other way around. I have pretty much everything ever Man-Thing related. Vol 1, 2, annuals, giant sizes, and so on. Still don't have his first appearances from Fear, but meh, someday. Hope that helps...

ok, I know Q from star trek, but is taht who renaud was talking about?

Is the metal Uru tougher than Adamantium?

 

[Elijya]

well, when adamantium was invented, they called Thor in to test it. He couldn't dent it. So yes

 

[TheCorpulent1]

But he later dented Captain America's shield, which is made of the metal adamantium wishes it could be, with Mjolnir, which is made of uru. Wouldn't the uru have shattered before the shield was dented if that were the case? Marvel metals confuse me.

 

[newnoiseimage]

here is a simple marvel metalurgy lesson.



Adamantium is the hardest metal around in the U.

Uru is a mystical metal.

Isnt caps shield made of vibranium?

anyway the strongest one is all three depending on the stupid writer who will ignore rules set up by previous writers.

In an effort to explain this I have created two, simple yet effective, diagrams.

Hammers are made so that the strongest part runs longitudinally through the head.

In the first diagram, we see what happens when the hammer is stressed in a way that it was not created to be stressed such as in the recent attack by Loki and his goons.

In the second diagram, we see what happens when force is applied to the hammer in the way that it was intended to be, such as when Thor tested the cylinder of adamantium.

Hopefully that will clear up a little as to why the uru might have broken recently but not against adamantium. It wasn't a problem of the metal but rather of the forces and stressors applied in different ways.

[TheCorpulent1]

Thanks, DBM. Very illuminating.

Cap's shield is an alloy of steel, vibranium, and a mystery metal that no one has ever figured out how to reproduce.

From the Shield FAQ: "The shield was made from a base steel alloy mixture, vibranium, and a "mystery metal" (an alloy which has yet to be successfully reproduced) which crept in while he was asleep. The shield is harder and more durable than adamantium - adamantium itself was discovered by Dr. MacLain when he unsuccessfully tried to replicate the amalgamation."

It took me all of about 2 minutes to slap that together in paint so it wasn't that much time

Wasn't Thor in possession od the Odinpower when he dented Cap's shield? Maybe he channeled the sufficient force necessary through Mjolner to accomplish that amazing feat.
I mean, in the Riegning, he basically turned Wolverine to slag.

Shyeah, that was f***in' cool.

I guess there could've been some magical way that Thor managed to dent Cap's shield, though it certainly doesn't suggest it in the comic itself. Thor gets really, really pissed and slams Mjolnir into the shield. Cap goes flying and lands on his ass, then Thor, realizing he almost killed one of his best friends, snaps out of it and goes away. He did seem to be a bit stronger physically with the Odinpower, but I still think if uru is weaker than adamantium and Cap's shield is stronger than adamantium, there should've been some kind of damage on Mjolnir from a blow that hard unless uru is actually stronger than the alloy Cap's shield is made of and thus stronger than adamantium. Unless I'm totally off and DBM can enlighten us further...

How many heralds of Galactus has there been?

The Silver Surfer, Nova, Terrax, Morg, Red Shift, Air-Walker, The Air-Walker robot manthingy, and that's about it. Rom shortly worked for Galactus, and The Asgardian Destroyer was in the Big G's posession for a while. You could also count Tyrant and The Fallen one I suppose.

Along those lines, I just read in Marvel Previews that the big "G" is looking to add one of the Fantastic Four to that list of heralds.(In issue 519) Hmmm........... I wonder which one he wants? I'd take Sue.

Why if I was Glaactus id take Franklin.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Sue's the only one that wasn't on the cover... Galactus usually thinks big too, and Sue's the most powerful member of the FF. Imagine her augmented with the Power Cosmic. Invisible constructs of infinite complexity on a cosmic scale!

Good point, darthphere... or maybe Valeria has even more potential than Franklin. She's the other OTHER evolutionary jump!

Well, see, that would be the enlightened choice, but I wasn't thinking with THAT head!

 

[Darthphere]

AWW I See then if I was Galactus id take Johnny because Galactus seems to like flying naked guys.
