The Stupidest things In comics

[King_Mungi]

Alpha Flight jobbing in comics, did you know they took down Galactus and frequently go against skyfather beings?

 

[Harlekin]

King Mungi is back!

 

[Darthphere]

He left?

 

[Horrorfan]

Your book sucks, it wasnt selling, it was cancelled, thats life.

Yeah because we ALL know sales and ratings and whatnot equals quality.

 

[King_Mungi]

King Mungi is back!

What? I've only be gone for what?...*thinks about*...damn, where the hell have I been?

He left?

For a period I did. As I got very busy with college and in conjunction didn't have time to fufill my random rants here on this board

 

[twylight]

Gwen Stacy and Norman Osborn.

All I need to say....

 

[Darthphere]

Yeah because we ALL know sales and ratings and whatnot equals quality.

Yeah, they dont, thats like my number one argument.

 

[Horrorfan]

Yeah, they dont, thats like my number one argument.

But you said his book sucked thats why it got cancelled, because it didnt sell.

Just because it doesnt sell, doesnt mean it sucked.

 

[Darthphere]

But you said his book sucked thats why it got cancelled, because it didnt sell.

Just because it doesnt sell, doesnt mean it sucked.

Read the post I responded to before you decide to make sarcastic arguments. He said "It is in my book" in reposnse to thinking it was stupid to cancel it.

Stupid moments in Comic History:

The one that immediately springs to mind is Wolverine having his claws/bones ripped out by Magneto and having him revert into a beastial form.

Absorbing man can control his ability to absorb. He doesnt turn into everything he touches he picks and chooses. Otherwise he'd be made of air.

Also i think that the guy's point about absorbing man with cap's shield was that Creel LOOKED stupid. not that it was stupid that he became invincible.
I remember the issue he's talking about. Creel turned red white and blue and had a big star on his forehead. He looked ridiculous.

Hulk wears unstable molecules now. In the past when it didnt make sense his shorts stayed on anyway cause nobody wants to see bruce's giant green wang. the comics code and all that.

What? you didn't like noseless berserker Wolverine?....bah! should be forgotten. Also his recent healing factor exploit against Nitro I felt was pretty foolish.

 

[Mrh7448]

Was he noseless? I've been trying to repress that part of my Marvel memories.

 

[King_Mungi]

Yeah since he lost his admintium, it was revaled his sense of smell keeps his sanity in check. It eventually collasped in a Micheal Jackson fashion resulting him to freak out

 

[MyPokerShirt]

Which leads to the question, why isn't Absorbing Man usually made of soil, since he's always standing on it?

he choses what he absorbs.

Ricky should have thught that one out better. He took away the adamantium, and Wolvie survived. Thus, Mags no longer had control over his every movement, and how come he didn't get his face clawed off after that?

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Try the way Colossus has been defeated in both the 616 and Ultimate universes for the past year or so.

COMIC BOOK NAMES
That is, comic book character names.
They insult our intelligence and make it hard to "suspend disbelief". And it's kind of embarrassing.

Maybe it was cool the first time someone said, Let's name him Edward Nigma, that way he's Enigma, get it? Yes. Clever. To me, the following were not:

• Dr. Druid = Anthony Druid
• The Basilisk = Basil Elks
• Brothers Grim = Percy and Bart Grimes
• Captain Marvell = Mar Vell
• Count "Nefaria" = Count Lucien Nefaria
• Destiny I = Paul Destine
• Diablo = Estaban Diablo
• Doc Samson = Leonard Samson
• Doctor Doom = Victor von Doom (Ok, well, that's pretty cool.)
• Dr. Octopus = Otto Octavious

Hey, weird, you have the powers of a druid, and your name is Druid! What a weird coincidence! You know, little Estaban, your last name is Diablo. You should probably become a supervillian when you grow up. And Basil? If you gain super powers, we hope they'll be the powers of a baselisk, and you can turn people to stone. Know why? Because your name is Basil Elks. That's why.

The above list is A-D only, as I was flipping through the old Handbooks of the Marvel Universe.

[The Question]

Actually, they did a bit of a retcon with that. His real name is Edward Nashton. He legally changed his last name to Nigma because he's, well, crazy.

Count "Nefaria" = Count Lucien Nefaria

It's Luchino, actually. And Nefaria doesn't really count, since he doesn't actually call himself Nefarious.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

How about the way Sentry got pwned by Super Adaptoid and The Collective.

 

[Sloth7d]

Spiderman getting his arm broken by Jigsaw was totally stupid.
Oh and how the Alpha flight died was the dumbest idea for a death EVER!!!!

 

[Sloth7d]

Lets get a poll started.

 

[villejo]

I'd have to say:


Superboy Prime altering the universe by punching stuff.

Yellow Fear Demon in Green Lantern.

Batman beating Amazo.

Lex Luthor going crazy and destroying metropolis in "Up Up and Away."

Everyone overreacting the way they are in Civil War.

Death of Hawkeye.

She Hulk stating that no one has ever died as a result of The Hulk's existence.

Pretty much everything that's happened to Bart Allen after Young Justice was cancelled.

Is She-Hulk freaking ******ed!!! She KNOWS that Hulk has killed many people, it's just that no one knows how many.

 

[The Question]

I doubt that The Hulk's body count is in the quadruple digits or anything, but there's no way that he's fought hundreds (maybe thousands) of soldiers and super soldiers and not killed anybody. You don't smash a tank over someone's head and not kill them.
