A World Without Heroes, Is A World Without Hope! © 2001, 2024
I look to the comic books that spawned this game:
In the Avengers/Defenders cross over that took up a summer worth of A & D comics, Dormammu was ridiculous. From his dimension he released a spell that turned people into demonic monsters on Earth, requiring everybody (Spiderman, FF, SHIELD, Dr, Doom and Dracula, etc...) to fight them, while the combined teams attacked his dimension. Thor, Hul

I think the boy side kick trope might be more obvious.
The point I'm making is: he has trouble with women, because he isn't into them.
You can be into men without dating them, for whatever reason. Being comfortable doing what you want and **** everybody else sounds better to me.

There are plenty of gay men and lesbians that have opposite sex relations or just sex with opposite sex partners, before they come to the conclusion they will indeed be happier in same sex relationships. I know a bunch of people who were married for over a decade before they came out, and they were gay/lesbian/trans the whole time, circumstances and their emotional/mental state slowed down their

#40 will be out (with nothing but the hangers swinging) on the 25th, in the continental US.
Any character could come out. Real people do it everyday. The compelling story is, why did the character wait? Was he afraid of what the team would say and he overcame that or he just doesn't care anymore? Something isn't audience pandering, when it addresses stuff that actually happens in the real world.

Anything good happening depends on the writers getting it correct. You figure eventually one of those doomsday scenarios would work.
By the way, Dare Devil is better than everything way back to the Electra/Miller era. Identity exposed and a move from NY to San Francisco are the plot points, but the writer making him funny for the first time in years is what makes DD a great read.

Killing off old characters that stop being relevant makes sense. If you had a Scourge type villain doing it he would have to take out a few big names (the whole FF, all the Spider people and a handful of X-men. Imagine how insane people would go when Ben Grimm dies.)
This kind of monumental change would make all the other characters more important to the MU. Characters like Black Panther and Dar

District 9 was good, even though it got blurry near the end. He should do a good job directing.
Alien is my favorite sci-fi film, but they just aren't scary any more. They suffer from to much exposure. We were shown to much, like the swarm of millions climbing the Aztec temple in AvP and queen after queen, until it looked like a chase in Jurassic Park. Fighting them is like shooing raccoons off

Would very much like to see Dr. Doom as lead villain in an Avenger's film. Have him team up a deceived Namor and confused Hulk.To destroy the Avengers.
Ironman vs Dr. Doom could be outstanding.

Stan Lee has had the greatest effect on creating and elevating comic books to an art form. He also appears to be a nice guy.

Look at her strengths: singing, ASS for days... 'bout it.
So, who could that be? For a second I was thinking a Fish Mooney character, but would immediately fail because she can never be ruthless enough (see "cannot act" problem).
I think she could play Risque. I say this because Risque is a very powers based character, so she wouldn't have to do a lot of combat and, even though Risque is pretty

I don't think a lot of kids would like old Spiderman. Tons of them are contemptuous to music and films that happened "before I was born". I loved Spiderman when I was a kid, because he was a teenager. Watching middle age Peter Parker might be a little to much like a "Dad" character. Uncle Spider doesn't sound cool, I might not have dug that when I was seven.

I discovered a "talent" I have: very accurately throwing objects, like knives and rocks, as long as I don't think about it. No thought at all, just pick up and throw, no aiming, bang. Very accurate at 20 feet. This is a pretty useless "skill".

I liked 1964, when you had Spiderman, Dare Devil, the Avengers, FF, Dr. Strange and X-Men. Thor, Hulk, Ironman and Captain America had their own comics, and there were titles that had different stories so Hank and Janet, the Submariner and Nick Fury could get some face time. These were the full time heroes.
You had a ton of villains of varying ability with a few hero specific super villains: Lok

What I got in an interview is Hank does the inventions (particles, bug talking and suit) and some how the character who plays Yellow Jacket gains control of of them.
So the bad guy starts out amoral, a profit motivated person, not a ruthless villain. As things unfold, he becomes more and more dangerous, necessitating the Ant-Man to save the day. The redemption of a criminal character is a decent

Batroc appears in the new Sam Wilson Captain America and is apparently killed by the new Nomad. It s a comic book, so I'm sure he survived, but he was a perfect choice for this scenario: showing Nomad's ruthlessness against a likable villain, to accentuate his lack of confidence in Sam.

I liked it. It really had the feel of the old black and white serials, with a cliff hanger before the commercial breaks.
She has great gadgets and uses them, while the mostly meat headed agents bulldoze around in their investigations. She is smart, deadly and moral.
The writers aptly demonstrate how women were an integral part of the war effort, and were expected to run back to the kitchen and

I was in Gorilla King Comics the other day, talking to Ian the owner, about our mutual love of Batroc the Leaper as a villain.
I asked him what was good right now, story wise and he said I should check out Batman (the straight Batman title, there are several others). I don't read DC, but when I do, I read Batman. I asked him what he thought about the New 52 and he said read issue 35 of Batman, a

It wasn't in the theaters long. Saw it from Red Box.
There were a few good things and the stuff that didn't work was bad, to the point it diminished some of the stuff that was working.
Eva Green drives everything and goes way beyond a strong female villain, right into force of evil.
Not as good as the first one. Not the worst thing you will ever see.

Strange first faced Loki in Strange Tales #123 in the 60's and then in the huge Avengers/Defenders cross over in the 70's. Strange could not deal with Loki by himself.
I would like to see any of the modern hero characters try to survive in early 60's Journey Into Mystery, Tales to Astonish or Strange Tales story lines. Monsters, aliens, ghosts and cursed ships, woods and towns, would give even

Hell yes.
