I’d like to see a repeat of the visit to the farm except this time he shows up with like 40 heroes and he and his wife argue while furiously making sandwiches for everyone.

My favorite Hawkeye scene was when The Witch tried to put him under her spell and he put that thing on her head and said something like been there done that.

who do you think showed him that trick?

Unpopular opinion but I actually dig Renner and the character, especially after the mind-control plotline in the first Avengers. Especially his pep-talk part to Scarlet Witch in AoU

But without the farm, there would be no wood to chop, and with no wood to chop, there would not be this:

so what did they think when Wicket decided to befriend Leia instead of hunting her? Is this like people who keep pigs as pets? “You put your bacon on a leash? What’s wrong with you?”

I remember the Superman story that really made me cry:

Great read. I also just heard you on the Fatman on Batman Black Panther round table. Keep up the good work!

This is the quality stuff I come to io9 for. Thank you, Mr. Narcisse.

Space-age armor that was designed to protect more against blaster fire, not necessarily bludegeoning weapons...

C3PO God Mode please. ;P

But Star Wars: Battlefront II has added a new mode that reminds us that these teddies can be utterly terrifying when you’re their target.

“Yub nub” closest possible translation is “tonight we dine on manflesh.” True story.

“Zod comes along, who is more like a father figure [to Lyta], and they start to grow closer together.” He also teases that Lyta starts to fall under Zod’s sway—after all, “he is a charismatic, manipulative kind of guy.”

I always thought that after Krypton blew up, Brainiac revealed he actually destroyed Krypton and kept Kandor in a bottle.

Not the first time this has been done with Superman and Krypton. The first story to really play with the idea of someone destroying Krypton was this classic from the wacky ages. It’s actually surprisingly dark, and quite good. It’s the first appearance of a character who’s name gets reused more than he himself is…

Also, that guy looks like a bargain bin Terrax the destroyer.

I was a bit confused by the power level of this thing. He says something along the lines “I was led to believe that under a yellow sun kryptoin were powerful”

FSHAAMMM

Ok. Who gave Ra’s al Ghul the T-Virus?
