Norman Osborn becomes the Infraggable Krunk

It's revealed in a flashback that Monica Rappaccini gave Norman the powers of the Super-Adaptoid.

In the present, Norman copies the powers of the Red Hulk and hulks out. He battles the Avengers until Quake causes an earthquake in the center of his heart.

Cap later says that Osborn is in a deep coma, his brain is fried, "and his body, well, he has no one to blame but himself."

There's also a mention of having the new Dark Avengers (who were defeated in New Avengers #23, which hasn't come out yet) joining the Thunderbolts Initiative, which is possibly connected to Thunderbolts being renamed Dark Avengers with #175.

	Bendis has had Daisy/Quake do it before. She disabled the super-empowered Magneto (charged with all the mutant stuff floating around after M-Day, I think?) by basically screwing his heart up. Again, yeah. Comics. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	Ah yes, I remember now that the Super-Adaptoid originally was careful to only manifest the powers of some Avengers at a time because trying to use too much power at once would overload it. I suspect that's back in force. (Reply to this) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 6 comments) (Show 6 comments)

	Also, because that cynical guy from the Doctor Octopus post a while back writes the obituary, it will say that Norman Osborn was a "nobody" who didn't accomplish anything important with his life. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 2 comments) (Show 2 comments)

	It's like Marvel wanted their own version of Jason Todd becoming mutated blob. It's even sadder, considering DeConnick made so much things for Bendis to work with.

*sigh*

Can someone tell me when we get back an Avengers team who DON'T say things like "he's still alive, that is unbelievably disappointing"?

If you had no idea who these characters were and this was your first exposure to them, exactly how would you know which ones were meant to be the good guys? Because it totally reads like two warring villain factions.

	Hopefully once Bendis is off the title. Maybe then Clint will start acting like Clint again and stop being so blood thirsty and critical of villains that want to be heroes. Bendis forgots that Clint was an ex-villain and he led the Thunderbolts. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

Let me get this straight.
In Osborn miniseries, Kelly Sue DeConnick portrayed Osborn as patient, smart, tactical mastermind who, despite being cold blooded bastard, still has great sense for humor, charm and is always in control, even when things go wrong. I honestly could buy, that someone like him could get followers and be feared so much.

And then... Bendis gives us this. And people complained about Jeph Loeb not understanding word subtle.

BTW, does anyone know what is DeConnick writing now?

	Bendis has always written a great Spidey, though. Even though his Avengers is incredibly divisive, he always writes a great Spidey. Further contributes to the idea that the one actually starring in Amazing Spider-Man is in a seperate bubble universe where he fucked up royally. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

I certainly understand the Mary/Gary Sue reference. And the Joker reference. Hey, we have no idea what to do with a story! Let's get Norman Osborn involved somehow. And give him some more powers. A- and a pony or somethin'.

This is one area where I admit I don't give a shit about canon. I never have. Norman Osborn was impaled by his Goblin Glider in Amazing Spider-Man #1223. The End. Everything after was an attempt to milk a character who, all efforts to the contrary, had run its course.

And get off my lawn.

	Personally I'd have read the adventures of Norman and his pony... especially if HE viewed it as a magical space pony who could talk, but everyone else just saw a threadbare nag. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	This MUST be the end of Norman Osborn. He has turned into the purple Hulk and fought the Avengers before slipping into a coma with a bad body, it is not like any other mainstream evil large business owner had a suffer great body damage only to be cured within a couple of years.
