Come on, people -- show some love for the 2099 series of titles. Sure, they got watered down rather quickly, but tell me Spider-Man 2099 wasn't a kick ass book. Punisher 2099 wasn't that bad either. And though Doom 2099 wasn't your traditional superhero book, it was written by Warren Ellis -- so you know it was good. EDIT: I just noticed that there are only two threads in the Marvel forum: 1602 and 2099. How odd.

I'm not a big fan of the WM games, but No Mercy was great. (As a SmackDown! fan even I have to admit that.) But my hopes aren't high for this new franchise. The characters look like all glossy -- like Barbie dolls. And how's this any different than what they did in the last SD game where you had one year to work your way through the ranks and make it to the top? In the end, it doesn't seem like they're adding anything new to the genre -- unless you start in OVW.

Oh my God, I completely forgot about the Double Dragon movie! Anyway, where's Mario, House of the Dead, and Wizard? Null Vote: I seriously haven't seen more than ten minutes of any of those films.

Even over the snot-nosed kid in WW?

Forget the series that Marvel and DC are co-publishing with all of the fanboy cameos, and "we can't make one team look weaker than the other" garbage. Let's take the gloves off and let these two teams rumble like they should. Both teams have pulled out their Big Seven (listed below), and a reserve member they can chose to use or not. (Because some of the heroes haven't always been the same people under the mask, I've gone ahead and listed who's playing the part.) JLA Superman Wonder Woman Batman (Bruce) Green Lantern (Kyle) Flash (Wally) Aquaman Martian Manhunter Reserve Member: Green Arrow (Oliver) Avengers Captain America (Steve) Iron Man (Tony) Thor Scarlet Witch Hawkeye Wonder Man Vision Reserve Member: Black Panther Place: Earth, a randomly chosen deserted city Conditions: Both teams were called to the chosen city, and then trapped inside by an unknown power. For both teams to escape one must fall (not die) in a real battle. If anyone doesn't give 100%, they all die. Only one person has to be left standing for a team to win. There will be none of the following: Coming together to defeat their captor Truces Defectors

uh... WTF!? My thoughts exactly. Then again, Catwoman's origin in Batman Returns was pretty lame too -- she fell to her apparent death and was licked by ally cats.

Why did Odin adopt Loki?

When Storm arrived that night and found the lights out and door ajar he knew something was amiss. Upon finding Bane's corpse, he called the police, but their halfhearted investigation proved no results. Angered, Storm swore to avenge Bane's death, even if it meant his own.

Correct, your turn again. Though I don't remember seeing Ellis use the Manhunter origin in Planetary. I think he might have in a Planetary/JLA crossover.

Does he have that life meter any more? You know, they one that only had 9999 ticks before he went back to Hell? If not, what happened to it?

Superman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, and Martian Manhunter?

Couldn't you shoot him in the arcade version? Oh, and I hated him so damn much, but he made me laugh -- so I'm torn.

Wasn't there an issue where he spoofed the origins of the entire JLA roster? Or are you referring to something else?

The only reason I didn't post the ebaums one was because I didn't want people to think that's the only place I get my web games. Silly, I know.

Yes.

One person has the controller, while the other three people use their GBAs for various task and special maps. At least that's my understanding of it. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

One of the most addictive games I've ever played: Helicopter. Post your high scores.

Hate to disagree with you... wait, no I don't... anyway, Super Mario Bros. 3 is way better than the original. For the most part you're right -- but it isn't always the case.

He's a human being. Thanks. If Bobby weren't such a joker, I'd give him more of a chance. But he's no Spider-Man, who can easily weave quips into his fights. And even if he could, Bobby isn't much of a fighter. From what I've seen he uses his power defensively, rarely taking it to his opponent -- if he did, he'd be a bad ass who could freeze someone's heart, eyeballs, or every drop of water in their body. Regardless, Sub-Zero takes him out sans powers because he's a ninja (RE: fighter) and will kill.

Question: Is Sub-Zero alive or a demon of some sort?

Surfer takes this one easily.

The second one was good, and I don't recall ever playing the third. But the first one was clearly the best.

That's gold! :OMG: If JCC were doing a PotD here and we could award it to the creators of that strip, that'd be it. Or I guess Cheap Heat for posting it.
