Sooooooo, Monkeys don't grow beneath the skin of your hands until they reach maturity and crawl out through the space underneath the fingernails?

I don't know what he's talking about. Why would it be funny? I'm serious. People expect seriousness when talking on message boards.

Sarcasm is one thing but insulting is an other.

It was just a harmless non-sequitur. Let's leave it at that and move on, shall we?

I got a question. in the Sinestro Corps War, Kyle Rayner was inhabited by Parallax, right?
and they sucked Ion out of him. he had no ring. so why were his constructs and costume still green? should they not have been yellow the entire time? even before it "absorbed" Hal?

I recall that the unofficial answer from Johns was that Parallax made the energy green as an extra "lol **** you" to the Corps.

And how was he able to do this, you ask? Per Johns' reasoning, Parallax has been in the Central Power Pattery for so long and mixed with the green energy so much that yellow and green are, at this point, far more connected than any other power in the emotional spectrum. Therefore he could make his own energy green because by that point the green and yellow energies had become incontrovertibly intertwined.

It's the same reason that the yellow weakness still affects rookie GLs, even though Parallax is no longer in the Central Power Battery

hurm. seems a little shaky. but i guess it's better than no explanation. that's Johns for ya. thanks BW.

Its funny how its always those that arent targets of such joke that consider them harmless........but I'm willing to drop it.

I'd actually like to defend myself before I'm willing to let it go. This forum is probably the only place where I never worried about this sort of thing before. Myself, along with guys like Darth, Corp, Anubis have thrown countless jokes around the DC board that could conceivably be offensive to someone who cares what's said by anonymous people on the internet, but this is the joke that a person objects to?

I had no idea that making up random things like monkeys under the skin could be interpreted as insulting. Well, I'll just walk on eggshells from now on, won't I? No. Should I be worried that people who actually do have monkeys crawling from their fingernails might've been insulted for mistakenly being called autistic? No, because that condition does not exist and couldn't possibly be confused for anything other than some f--ked up crap I made up. Frankly, I suffer from a form of ass-holeness, and I'm insulted that you've criticized me for it.

Seriously dude, just put me on Ignore.

Defend yourself?????

What do you have to defend yourself for???In no way were you attacked.

On the contray attitude that describes Autism in a humors fashion is what leads many people to believe that the condition truly does not exist and that those stricken simply haven't been taught any better.

And that leads to any number of misunderstandings and mistreatment of those suffering.

I dont expect for you or anyone to walk on "eggshells", if one choses to act ignorant or to be insensitive thats their right.

But dont expect everyone to just sit back and accept it and not criticize for being a self admitted ass.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I don't think anyone here believes autism doesn't really exist. Regardless, this isn't the place for a "debate" on it--a term I use lightly, since this is rapidly devolving into personal back-and-forth insults. You've each had your say about it and it's time to move on. I'll be deleting any further posts on the subject and issuing infractions if you continue.

 

[Spike_x1]

But...but...so many counterpoints to be made...

Phooey.

What happened to all of the kryptonite from that huge meteor back in Batman/Superman: Public Enemies? I know that Black Mask was stockpiling it at one time or whatever, and Lex put some of it in Metallo and used a bunch of it for his Krystal Kryptonian mech from the Up, Up, And Away story, but where's the rest of it now? That couldn't have been the whole meteor's worth of it, could it?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

It'll probably turn up again someday. Whatever anyone says about the quantity of Kryptonite on Earth, there's always enough to go around whenever villains need it against Superman.

 

[Anubis]

The Bat gathered up most of it, but Lex got a bunch of it to make his new super awesome kewl suit, and I believe a lot was used for Metallo.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Were the different-colored pieces of Kryptonite in that big bunch of Kryptonite? Lex's suit has different-colored Kryptonite pieces now, right?

 

[Anubis]

Yeah, it had the different color kryptonite in it.

 

[BrianWilly]

There was an arc in Superman/Batman where the fabulous duo literally went around the Earth collecting all -- repeat all -- of the Kryptonite on the planet. I think they succeeded, but I stopped paying attention to that story after it turned to s***.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Oh, I remember solicitations about that. It's bulls*** anyway, since, as I mentioned, Kryptonite will always be around for whatever villain needs it to put a whammy on Supes.

 

[Scarecrow_King]

Jason blackmailed his way into some during Under the Hood, right? does he still have that or is it out of his hands now? dunno why he would want it...

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Same reason Bruce kept some, I imagine.

 

[Scarecrow_King]

have there been any interactions between Jason and Superman since Jason came back? heck, did they even meet while Jason was Robin?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I know they met when Jason was Robin, since Jason was Robin in "For the Man who Has Everything." I don't know if they've interacted since Jason came back.

 

[Snapper_Carr]

Looking back at what I've missed, only one thing stands out: Why did they bring back Barry Allen?

Well, it's just dollars and cents. His return makes no sense...and actually cheapens his herioc sacrifice...but with Hal and Oliver coming back, it was only a matter of time. In Hal's case, especially, there was BIG money to be made...and it was executed very well. With Barry? It seems they had the goal and worried about story later...and didn't worry enough, in my opinion.

Still, it's just comics. No one dies forever...but it sure makes for great storytelling when they die. Usually. Sometimes. Once in a while.

 

[Scarecrow_King]

I think Barry's return would've been handled better if he had been given his own mini to ACTUALLY come back in. Like in GL Rebirth.

it feels like Flash Rebirth just belongs in the Flash ongoing. He actually came back in Final Crisis, so just seems like they're trying to make money off of this by printing two Flash books at once. when it could easily be fit into one book. so far, a whole lot of nothing has happened in Rebirth.
