Re: Ares Random Edits - Wonder Man, Scarlet Spider

The Atom A different look for the Atom, taken from an old Villains and Vigilantes villain (I think his name is Microbe or Parasite), and I think it works as a retro-70s look. https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-kwhq6HB/0/447a2e18/O/i-kwhq6HB.jpg Parasite, the Mircrotitan Invincible. V&V: Most W...

Re: Ares Random Edits - Wonder Man, Scarlet Spider

Captain Marvel Just a very minor tweak to Captain Marvel's outfit, giving him a military style collar similar to his film serial counterpart, which I think suits him. It does. Then again, the chest flap, the capelet, and the wrist designs all are military inspired. More 19th century military, and t...

Re: What's new with the big two: Marvel and DC Comics discussion thread.

- I'd explain away why Peter Parker never made a fortune working for DuPont by revealing that while Peter designed and built his web shooters, he did not, in fact, invent web fluid. That rather is produced by a gland in his lower, lower back and that he has to regularly secrete fluid from said gland...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Synapse! Avenger X! Voyager! Hawkeye Builds!)

Mark Gruenwald said in an interview about the Squadron Supreme , "I'm not going to do much with the Golden Archer and Lady Lark relationship, because I already did it with Hawkeye and Mockingbird in the Hawkeye limited series." Of course, Golden Archer and Lady Lark were the SS stand-ins ...

No, I was legit confused when I saw the red one, too. If it weren't for his larger build, they'd be dead-ringers.
I saw the first picture and thought "Roy? What the f---?"

Re: Hawkeye’s Rogues and Best Moments

10) Defeats Captain Atom off-panel during JLA/Avengers , enraging DC fanboys. It isn't that Hawkeye defeated Captain Atom. It was the HOW Hawkeye beat Captain Atom that was the problem. Hawkeye said he used the arrows he keeps around for fighting Radioactive Man. If it had been the 1960s Captain At...

Bug, you sounded like you were very hard when you interrupted poor JD. Then again, so was Arthur. And Garth.

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Synapse! Avenger X! Voyager! Hawkeye Builds!)

Myself, I love Clint. To me he's THE comic book archer, even moreso than Green Arrow, despite Ollie coming out first. Centaur Comics' the Arrow predates them both. Green Arrow and Hawkeye have a long, long history of influencing each other. Green Arrow came first by about twenty years, but was larg...

Re: JDRook's Revised DCA Builds - Mera! Tempest! Dolphin! Aqualad!

She was originally sent from Xebel (not sure if it's another world, another dimension, or just a different city than Atlantis) with the intent on assassinating the King of Atlantis, but falls in love with him, becomes Queen, has his child, said Aquababy is kidnapped and murdered(?!?) by Black Manta...

Re: JDRook's Revised DCA Builds - Aquaman & his Aquatic Friends!

For decades, in promotional art, Aquaman would be shown with a trident. But he didn't actually start carryi...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Ex Nihilo! Star Brand! Kamala Khan! The Blue Marvel!)

So this is just about the end of the regular Avengers builds- the next handful will be characters introduced in a few of those weird side Avengers titles, with summations of those books. Largely Wiki-read and built, as the only one I actually collected and read was Uncanny Avengers . Here, I was ho...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Triathlon! Silverclaw! Noh-Varr! The Sentry!

I am not familiar with Sentry, Hyperion or BM. I like Hyperion. At least some versions of him. That said, I'm not sure there's much difference between Sentry and a BM, based on what I've read here. Yeah, to me, it seemed like Gladiator, Sentry, hyperion and BM are all basically the same character w...
