Some less than MARVELlous ideas.
Superhero comics have existed for a very long time and now with the work of the MCU and the DCEU, their superheroes are household names but with all long running things, there comes a lot of stupid and that is what we are here to look at today.
That time that Spider-man killed MJ with his radioactive sperm. ( Spider-Man Reign 2006-2007)
Spider-man Reign tells the story of an older, sadder peter parker who begins the story retired. Later it is revealed that in this continuity, his then wife died from cancer he caused from…. well you read the title.
This moment from All Star Batman & Robin the Boy Wonder ( 2005- 2008)
Frank Miller’s All Star Batman & Robin the Boy Wonder, other than having more than enough moments to fill one of these list up by itself, had this one moment in issue 3 and after this the phrase “I’m The Goddamn Batman” has been something that has stuck with the character ever since.
That time the Joker was the Iranian ambassador
Here is something that often gets forgotten about- in the same story where the Joker kills Jason Todd, this happens. I don’t even need to explain that the Joker becoming the Iranian ambassador was all part of a plan to sell nuclear weapons to terrorists from Lebanon, the panel speaks for itself.
Captain America doesn’t know what My Space is
During the first civil war event, one tie-in comic showed Cap sitting down for an interview to get his side out there but instead the interviewer spends her time attempting to illustrate how out of touch with the times Captain America is.
Gwen Stacy and Norman Osborn had children together
Spider-man Sin’s Past introduced two villains to the canon and what was their back story? They were the super aged-up children of Gwen Stacy and Norman Osborn who had a one night stand together while she was with Peter and had the children in secret.
The panel here is of Peter imagining what happened and giving us the single worst two panels in comic book history- the Green Goblin’s O-face in and out of costume.
