Set-Up: As a child, Anakin Skywalker was speculated to be The One to bring balance to the Force, but, ultimately, let power and hate corrupt him. As Lord Vader, Skywalker terrorized the galaxy, eliminating every other Jedi in the process. He's the commanding officer of the entire Imperial fleet, and lets no mistake go unpunished. Agent Smith was just another computer program created to eliminate anyone who would dare destroy the Matrix -- the computer generated dream world. However, much like Skywalker, Smith let power corrupt absolutely, broke free from the Matrix, and became Hell-bent on destroying everyone -- as well as the Matrix. Fearing that Skywalker is The One (who is prophesied to bring humanity back to the top of the food chain and destroy the Matrix) Smith attacks Vader while he rests in his chamber. Place: Executor, Darth Vader's Super Star Destroyer Notes: Assume that even the Star Wars Universe is set within the Matrix, and that Neo (and his friends) have yet to be born/created. Vader has full use of the Force, and his lightsaber. Smith can manipulate the physics of the world/Matrix (as he could in the first film), and has his guns.

Invisible Man, because Flash can't catch what he can't see.

(source) What the holy Hell is going on? This is, quite frankly, bizarre. Not that I disagree with the promotion, it just seems like an odd place for an ad. I mean, who the Hell can see a 4' x 4' ad besides the basemen? A better idea would have been to give away free Spider-Man comic books or bobble-heads. EDIT: Mods, if you feel this should be in the General Discussion or Marvel forum, feel free to move it.

What is Namor's last name?

Scott and Alex Summers Charles Xavier and Cain Marko (step-brothers) John and James Proudstar (both used the name Thunderbird) Theres' also Kurt Wagner (Nightcrawler) and Graydon Creed (half-brothers through Mystique), but Graydon isn't superpowered.

I created a separate poll to settle the Contra/TMNT debate.

We have a little 8-bit war going on here. Personally, I think Contra was the hardest NES game, while others seem to think that honor should go to TMNT. So, to settle the debate, I've created this poll. Flame on!

Contra is arguably the hardest 8-bit game, and, for most, was only completed by using the infamous Konami Code. But the question remains, were you able to beat it without using The Code?

This was one hard game. Shit came out of nowhere, and knocked you on your ass every three seconds. I always thought it was odd, however, that after every town there was a stunt park. What's up with that? Anyway, every time I see/play this game I get a little sad, because I borrowed the NES version from a friend just a few weeks before she died. I never got to return it to her.

No problem, and I should be the one using the for not thinking about adding this type of forum before now.

Name Change: Thanks to a very thoughtful post, I've changed the Reviews & Columns forum to a general Opinions forum. Continue to post your reviews and columns there, but you can now use that forum to post site-related feedback.

This thread made me realize we needed a place where readers can respond to the writing that has/will appear on the main page, so I've changed the Reviews & Columns forum to a general Opinions forum. It's still an open forum where would be writers can post their reviews and/or columns, but now it's also the place for readers to spout off about the site and/or content.

As publisher of the site it makes me proud to know that Christopher's interview meant something to you. Thank you for the praise, and I hope we continue to produce writing that interests you -- and everyone else.

There you go.

A lot of people are under that impression, but no.

Not the Goblin, and I'm looking for a supervillain, so Ben's murderer doesn't count.

Not to toot my own horn, but yeah -- that was pretty damn fast. I didn't even realize you posted one minute before me. Anyway... ummm... let's see...who was the first supervillain Spider-Man ever fought?

Holmes?

Exactly. They took everything that was right with the first film, and built upon it for X-Men 2.

Null vote. I don't know enough about Captain Nemo to fairly judge this one.

Marvel has put out some of the best comic book movies since Blade (1998), and the trend looks like it's going to continue with Spider-Man 2. Having said that, which film has been the best one to date? EDIT: If I've forgotten one, let me know.

I don't know what James has planned, but Batman v The Invisible Man (or Dorian Gray) might be close.

I guess not. They rushed into space to beat the "commies". Someone else ask a question.

Gotta give another one to a member of the JLA.
