  5. Comic Book Trivia

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    This question has nothing to do with continuity, and everything to do with the politics of business.

    Why did Marvel finally tell Wolverine's origin?

    Rules for this thread are the same as the one in the Oratory:

    1.) Please wait for a confirmation after answering before posting a new question.

    2.) Do not post anything too obscure. Try and keep it restricted to the major comic book companies like DC, Marvel, Image, etc. Hints are allowed at the current question-dealer's discretion.

    3.) 12-hour rule is in effect. If there has been no response by the current question-maker after 12 hours, someone else can take over trivia'ing.

  6. Batman vs Captain America

    in Versus Archives

    Posted

    Fists:

    If this fight came down to trading punches (no weapons), Batman wins quickly. Sure, Cap is a great fighter, but Batman (next to Lady Shiva) is the greatest fighter in the world.

    Strategy:

    If this came down to battlefield strategy, it would be very close and I think they winner would be determined by where the fight took place. Cap has the advantage if it's NYC, and Batman has it if it's Gotham.

    Weapons:

    If this fight came down to using their respective weapons, Batman has more tools in his arsenal and therefore will use them to his advantage. However, Cap's shield is an extension of his right arm, so again this would be close, but I have to give it to Batman.

  7. Is there anyone Batman can't beat?

    I have the feeling we're going to get a lot of Batman v [someone] threads, and that's fine. This question, however, needed to be asked. This isn't a What If...?-type thread, so I don't want Batman v [someone] arguments breaking out in here. (I'll lock this if that happens.) Just state who you think could beat Batman and state why.

  8. Y-The Last Man

    It's been a while since I read Y, but I love this book.

    DC/Vertigo surprised me a few issues into the series when they used the word "cunt" -- a longtime no-no for the publisher.

  9. Brian Michael Bendis

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    People don't like to have to think about their comics, and Bendis made people do that with this one.

    Hey now! I'm taking great offense to that. :grumble: As on of the people who thought this arc was a little odd, I feel I must chime in. It's not that I don't like to think about my comics -- in fact, three of my favorite comics are Watchmen, Batman: The Killing Joke, and Batman: Arkham Asylum -- it's just that I didn't care to read about all these different ages. Despite that, I'm sure it was a good read.

  12. Hulk v Batman

    in Versus Archives

    Posted

    This is a tough one. If it were smart green Hulk (or even the grey hulk) Batman might have some major trouble out witting someone so smart and strong, but since this is the traditional "Hulk smash!" Hulk (RE: stupid) I'll have to hand it to Batman after a very long and tough fight.

  15. Top 10 Most Powerful Superheroes

    in General Discussion

    10. Gladiator

    09. Cannonball

    08. Professor X and Magneto (tie)

    07. Ultron

    06. Thor

    05. Hulk

    04. Superman

    03. Wonder Woman

    02. Green Lantern

    01. Silver Surfer

    Let me briefly explain why I ranked the mutant Cannonball one notch better than Gladiator. During his short stint on the X-Men, Cannonball had a run-in with Gladiator and actually beat him. It would seem that Gladiator's powers stem from his confidence/ego -- should it be broken, he weakens.

  21. Who did Clark Kent lose IT to?

    in DC

    Posted

    Some months ago, Wizard ran a letter asking who Peter Parker lost his virginity to, and (if I remember correctly) the general consensus was that it was Felicia Hardy (the Black Cat).

    So that got me thinking: Who did Clark Kent lose his to? He's really only had two women in his life -- Lana Lang and Lois Lane.

    If it was Lana, Clark would have been a teen, but I don't see them having "gone all the way" because of the strong morals their parents would have instilled in them.

    While I wouldn't call Lois a tramp, she's had her share of men. But her virtue isn't being questioned here -- her husband's is. If she was indeed Clark's first (and only?) sexual partner, then when did he lose it to her? They didn't get together until he was in his late 20s/early 30s.

    And so that begs another question: When did Clark lose it.
