The Official Stupid Question Thread: Marvel Edition - Part 3

[ShaDynasty]

Ah okay thanks for the clarification! And does Peter look different in Alpha because it's a different artist than whoever did No Turning Back?

 

[runawayboulder]

Yeah, ASM has a team of 3 rotating artists. Humberto Ramos, Giuseppe Camuncoli and Richard Elson who is replacing Stefano Caselli.

Anyone know what Giant-Man/Goliath strength level is?

 

[javi1024]

Did anything ever happen with Jackpot from Brand New Day? I remember reading her origin and then she got a mini and then.....nothing.

 

[Anubis]

I believe she got killed, then some new chick took over the identity.

Anyone know what Giant-Man/Goliath strength level is?

Depends on his height. His "fighting height" of about 16 to 20 ft clocks in at, I don't know, 40 tons maybe?

Atlas on the otherhand was like Wonder Man, which is at 100 tons, then add more strength depending on how tall he is at the time......Atlas was awesome.

 

[THANOSRULES]

I know he had Ionic strength like simon but thought he was more in the 25 ton range as Power man.

 

[runawayboulder]

Wherever Jackpot is she can just stay there.....

I thought Atlas was just at that same top-tier strength at any size.

 

[Anubis]

All that extra mass, how the hell coud'nt he be?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Because his strength is ionic, and ionic energy is one of those "f*** you, physics" things in Marvel's comics.

I GOTTA STUPID QUESTION

could it be interpreted that Aunt May (secretly) knows Peter is Spider-Man?

The movies definitely make it seem that way, but I never got an overwhelming feeling of that from the comics?

 

[Manic]

Aunt May found out YEARS ago. I haven't been reading since Brand New Day, but I imagine she simply got her memory of Peter's identity erased just like everyone else.

 

[pr0xyt0xin]

I think her memory got wiped. But I'm talking old like Vol. 1 ASM. I dont have access to many of those comics and I was wondering if before she "learned" his identity, if she couldve secretly known. More of an opinion vs fact thing in that sense.

 

[runawayboulder]

She doesn't know anymore. It was one of the OMD retcons. She was outside that magic bubble shown in OMIT.

 

[DawnWarrior]

Regarding the old days, I've read all the way up to Essential ASM Vol. 4, and there's just no way she knows there.

IIRC, When she finds out in JMS' run, it's written as if she didn't know.

Thanks. She just a naive ol' lady

 

[runawayboulder]

JMS wrote her as a stronger woman and less of a twit.

 

[Scarecrow_King]

I loved JMS's May.

 

[Anubis]

I loved that scene where she went to JJJ and told him she was cancelling her subscription to the Bugle cuz of how he's always disin' Spidey.

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

Why doesn't Ross keep the mustache when he Rulks out?

 

[WolfCypher]

There's never been much consistency with Hulks and hair.

Why doesn't Rick have any hair when he Hulks out?
There have been times where Bruce wore his hair one way, and Hulk would have it completely different.

But the short of the answer is, Loeb wanted Rulk's ID to be a mystery, and everyone would have suspected him to be the guy with the same mustache. Its all arbitrary according to Marvel. Why does the Hulk's pants stay on? They just do...

 

[Mulholland-Jr]

Whose side was Johnny Storm on during Civil War? The main event shows he was with Sue joining Cap's side, during the JMS run it looked like he was with Reed the whole time...

 

[Havok83]

No he wasnt. Johnny chose Cap's side along with Sue in the main event. JMS' run was consistent with that. He met with Reed in private wearing a disguise in a bistro in FF 542 but that was to reason to him and end the divide. He wasnt with Reed throughout CW

 

[javi1024]

Also he was hospitalized for a good chunk of it too.

The last part can be chalked up to artistic license more than anything else. Kirby initially drew the Hulk to be about 7 feet tall and stocky, so it's conceivable that the pants of an average-sized 5'10"-ish dude like Bruce Banner could still stay on the Hulk. They'd be really tight and uncomfortable and rip in various places, but they wouldn't necessarily bust completely off. Since artists started bumping the Hulk's size up and up and up to the point that he's now usually more like 10 feet tall or taller, however, it doesn't make much sense.
