The Official Stupid Question Thread: Marvel Edition - Part 4

[WolfCypher]

So the Hulk...

He's just gone back to dumb "Hulk Smash! Hulk Stongest! Hulk no like you!" Hulk in certain books, or is he a flippin' idiot in all canon again? What book(s) does he still have his bad-ass "semi-"intelligent persona?

And was there an explanation given to why he's dumb as bricks again (besides the fact that he's like so in the movies, and apparently the movies dictate everything in the books now)?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

He's been mostly mute in Indestructible Hulk. I don't really think an explanation is necessary given how often it happens. He's just dumb again because he's dumb again. It happens. Frequently.

Dammit Corp, I keep hearing Jakes laugh when I see that avvy!

So I'm constantly making your day a little bit better, then.

As am I, it makes me smile t:

So I'm constantly making your day a little bit better, then.

A little, I just caught up and watched the episode where his Puppies are born. I still go back and watch 'I remember you' every now and then. That is one happy, silly, sad, dark cartoon. My 6 year old nephew watches it too. It gives us stuff to talk about besides comics.

I don't have enough time to feed my Adventure Time obsession

 

[WolfCypher]

Why does SpOck have those talons/tabi/lenses?

 

[Thwip!]

Because he upgraded the suit in order to make himself Superior to Peter, which proved thoroughly effective in Superior Spider-Man #1. The changes are documented and shown in Avenging Spider-Man #15.1

 

[Lobo]

So other than his origin, what is a really good Silver Surfer story that i should read?

 

[runawayboulder]

Anything done by Ron Marz.

 

[runawayboulder]

And Jim Starlin. Starlin took over Surfer's first series at issue 30-something and went until 50 (one of the best Surfer/Thanos stories ever). Marz took over after.

 

[THANOSRULES]

SO with the current power level of Hickman's Avenger's..and the fact the New Avengers are in control of the infinity gems...are earth's heroes the most unstoppable collective of Avengers ever?

 

[Anubis]

Probably.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Seriously, he really ramped the power level up. Thor, Hyperion, Captain Universe, Captain Marvel, and more powerhouses still to come. I really hope he continues to come up with suitable threats for them.

 

[THANOSRULES]

Well now Carol can't fly so thats -1

 

[javi1024]

Did they ever explain how Punisher went from Frankencastle to regular Frank Castle?

 

[StreetWarrior]

He was restored by the Bloodstone (I think) on Monster Island in the final issue of FrankenCastle. (to the story, not your question).

 

[StreetWarrior]

I asked this in the Secret Avengers thread but, what happened to Hank Pym/Giant Man at the end of Secret Avengers? [BLACKOUT]Is he still half cyborg? Did he get killed by the giant Sentinel?[/BLACKOUT] I might have missed the answer but that's a pretty big loose end.

 

[Ultimatehero]

Nm. I got it.

 

[Panthro]

Picked up Iron Man "Legacy of Doom" and "Doomquest". Which is the proper order - and am I missing anything important in between?

 

[Shockdingo]

Okay, I've got one. I was always curious about Luke Cage. Man's got impenetrable skin, what about his hair? Now that he's ditched the fro and is now rocking the bald and goatee combo, is he unable to sport a head of hair again?

 

[Hawkingbird]

...I'm sure he could if he wanted to...

 

[chamber-music]

I think they said Cage shaves his head. I miss the fade he was rocking in the 90s t:

 

[Scarecrow_King]

How does Spider-man control how the webs come out of his webshooters? Sometimes it's a wide net, sometimes it's a strand to swing on.

I think I read a long time ago that it's based on the number of times he presses on his webshooter.

 

[runawayboulder]

The nozzle is adjustable.

 

[Scarecrow_King]

So everytime he wants to do something different, he has to adjust the nozzle? Seems like a pain, especially in the middle of a fight.
