Try 30 years. The first X-Factor Annual featured a mutant who could duplicate powers - he picked Iceman and started doing all sorts of wacky shit that Bobby had never done, like pretty much immediately.

So good. So good.

Pantheon, eh? As in the series by Bill Willingham?

If it makes you feel better, WW is a vast improvement over BvS:DoJ (I didn't see SS), and while it still has problems, it did a wonderful job with the Amazons and with Wonder Woman in particular. People are comparing Gal Gadot to Christopher Reeve as far as being perfectly cast for her role, and the film does for

Some characters have stable relationships as their status quo. The Richards family, Clark and Lois… um… I had a point… er… and then there are the on-again/off-agains, like Bruce and Selina or Diana and Steve, Hal and Carol, Ollie and Dinah, Barry and Iris. Peter Parker gets fucked over pretty regularly by editorial,

Or someone whose continuity doesn't really matter to writers or editors. There are a lot of supervillains who have died, reformed, been blown into space, etc. but they always show up again in some random title, because no one really needs to check and see what Molten Man's current status might be.

Hammerhead, not crab. Yeesh.

Northstar can fly. Completely different!

Iceman did have a mini-series in the 80s, but he wasn't gay then.

In conclusion, the Marvel Universe is a land of contrasts.

Yeah, but… oh, I just remember when heroes weren't complete assholes all the time.

Good job, Nick Fury, jr., way to threaten a bunch of terrified American citizens.

I was under the impression that Parker's doctorate was acquired while Octavius was running the ship. Is Peter really justified in calling himself "Dr. Parker"?

A clone of the clone? It's clones all the way down, isn't it?

Dear Nudeador,

I only saw the first one. And I vividly recall walking out of the theater and apologizing to everyone who went to see it with me (at my insistence). I thought it was terrible. I have no idea why it gets the love that it does.

And yet by the end of every episode everything was back to normal, and the day was saved.

No blue people what whistle? Hard pass, y'all.

'struth.
