A pretty well thought out list. You should consider doing one for Superman. He's accumulated the same degree of interesting trivia over the years, such as Jimmy Olsen & Kryptonite originating in the radio series.

Now may not be the best time. All the X-books are about to be linked for several months, while they move through another one of those alternate history arcs, that the series just can't seem to stay away from. Consider jumping back in when it's all over & everything goes back to "normal", whatever the Hell that is

Why is her knee shaped liked a shark's fin? The rest of the figure is consistently curvilinear. The knee should have been appropriately rounded. I have to assume this was a purposeful choice in the rendering, & as such, I find it rather questionable. With it so close to the center of the picture plane, I can't take my

He's a Marvel hero. He's contractually obligated to do as much property damage as humanly possible each time he performs a rescue or gets into a fight.

Uh... where do you suppose she was hiding that pipe wrench?

There are no coincidences in the Marvel Universe, & Stan Lee isn't really the creative genius his legend suggests.

That would be the barbarian warlord, Attuma. He tended to be a much bigger threat to Namor back when there was still an Atlantis for him to covet. I can't recall the last time I read an "Attuma Attacks" kind of story. Possibly during Busiek's short lived Defenders series. Perhaps now that Namor has his own book again

The voice actor's name was actually Joe Baker. God help me, I actually bothered to do the research.

There was a terrible cartoon that aired in... the 70's... maybe the 80's.... wherein a teenager, in times of trouble, slammed two rings together & was then pelted with rocks until he became the Fantastic Four's Thing. That would be my candidate for worse-than-Wonder Woman-transformation.

Starfire from the Teen Titans. it's been awhile since her origin has been told, but she was running away from a slave's life, that her sister sold her into, when she took up residence on Earth, & lucked into being a founding member of the "New" Teen Titans.

Okay, admittedly they were hardly the stars, but RZA was in Repo Men, & Method Man was in Venom. Wu Tang Clan represent!

They should have cast her as Wonder Woman. Damn you, Phil Spector! Damn you to Hell!

She's the Joe Bob Briggs of io9.

Over a century later, & the poor bastard still can't catch a break. Clearly, fate hates you, Vincent Van Gogh.

I think the show can only benefit from the return of Lionel. What Smallville has lacked, for years now, is a truly polarizing evil character for Clark & company to rally against. Doomsday was played for too much sympathy & Zod never clearly broke through his morally grey characterization. Lex, due to Rosenthal's

Too... much.... in... for... ma...tionnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn......_________________________

My sole complaint is that I've not been able to upload images in the comments sections since the changeover. I'm sure there's some simple way of doing it—as opposed to the really simple way it used to work—but I've yet to dope it out. Any assistance would be appreciated, as I feel like half of my voice has been muted.

I shudder to think about what the first film was about, especially if this sequel, as sequels do, went bigger & "better" than the original.
