One Perfect Moment: Squirrel Girl

[angelophile]

It doesn't really get any more perfect than her origin story, does it? You know the one. For the Doom fans out there, it was undoubtedly a Doombot, right?

Taken from 1992's Marvel Super-Heroes #8, by Steve Ditko and Will Murray and proving that the 90s weren't all bad.

You know what? Iron Man 2 would've been 300% better if Scarlett Johansson had played Squirrel Girl. And had a nude scene.

Squirrel Girl may well be the best thing to come out of 90s era Marvel. She rocks. And I like that even the top brass at Marvel (Joe Q and his Brain Trust) have a soft spot for her.

I've never, ever understood the fascination with Squirrel Girl. I think I never will. I don't even mean that in an ironic way or mean her harm. At all. I just truly don't get it. I must not have a heart.

Honestly her face scares me here.

That story from one of the GLA/I/whatever letter they're using this week, specials was a lot of fun.

The one where Squirrel Girl needed some doohickey to stop Penance/Speedball from being all emo and penitent (his cat, too) and went to Latveria to steal it. As soon as Doom saw who it was, he just stood back and let her take whatever she wanted. Love it.

Might be the same issue where she beat the crap out of Deadpool for a second time.

Hahaha! Never gets old. Never.

Squirrel Girl and Miss Martian will one day team up in a cross company crossover and defeat whatever enemy the combined writers of Marvel and DC can think up, BEFORE the story even starts.

I just realized something. I am currently following two webcomics that feature anthropomorphic squirrel-girls as characters, I've seen references to more of the same in several others that I've glanced over, there are squirrel characters that feature prominently in several devoted fanbases - and then there's this.
You know who the true masters of the internet are? SQUIRRELS.

Okay, I'm a huge fan of the Question. I really like Spider-Man and Blue Beetle, and I think Dr. Strange is pretty cool too. But Squirrel Girl is probably the best thing Steve Ditko's ever created.
