Power Girl #2

[drsevarius.insanejournal.com]

Ultra-Humanite is telling PG his origin. We first see him as a sickly little boy. Then...



We see a giant albino gorilla in a cage.

Later,  the Congolese army arrives. The general tells them to kill the rebels.

As Ultra-Humanite kills all the soldiers, Satanna watches in glee.

...I don't know what creeps me out more. Satanna wanting him as a gorilla, or covered in blood.

[janegray.insanejournal.com]

Hey, now! *points at icon*

...Granted, it is Dante. He'd look sexy covered in anything.

[readeriif.insanejournal.com]

... okay, I have no background in medicine, but those stitches on the Humanite's head look a bit odd- the two at the side could make sense, but the one in the middle?

[mugiwara.insanejournal.com]

The one in the middle has for purpose to seduce Satanna.

[filkertom.insanejournal.com]

Bet she gets together with Bellatrix Lestrange and Mina Murray for bridge. Volcana's the dummy.

[freezer818.insanejournal.com]

Volcana's the dummy.

Nah - Giganta.

[kali921.insanejournal.com]

Wow, Satanna. I haven't seen her since Palmiotti's use of her in the last run of Hawkman where she was collecting vintage Led Zeppelin vinyl and had a gratuitous catfight with Kendra Saunders. Palmiotti has a thing for her, methinks.

In other news, EWWWW to this entire sequence. The writing, the art, everything.

[queenursula.insanejournal.com]

What issue was that?

did he create her, or was she a pre-existing character?

[crinosg.insanejournal.com]

So that's the Humanites origins huh?

At what point did he switch out to the Lex Luthor body from the first time he fought Superman.

[zegim.insanejournal.com]

Weeeell, actually the Ultra-Humanite origins are different to this.

If it is a retcon or just a continuity gaffe, I don't know.

[daningram.insanejournal.com]

Am I the only one who's shocked that a origin that's so needlessly bloody and perverted actually makes Ultra-Humanite less threatening?

Ten bucks says that this crappy version is ignored in a year and we get the bad ass back.

[jarodrussell.insanejournal.com]

Ten bucks says this entire series will be ignored in a year.

*sigh*

[scarlettwyst.insanejournal.com]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack.

That's Right, Ignore His Wonderfully Disturbing Previous History

[jlroberson.insanejournal.com]

A little-known fact is that this was actually how the AIDS virus went from the simian population to human. Damn that Ultra for not thoroughly checking before the operation.

[volksjager.insanejournal.com]

Conspiracies abound...

[espanolbot.insanejournal.com]

Eh, they referenced a similar thing in the Justice League/JLU cartoons.

Though it was Grodd with human women, rather than a gorilla with a human brain in it.

[darkknightjrk.insanejournal.com]

Yep--he was with Giganta, and some sorceress who's name I don't remember.

[icon_uk.insanejournal.com]

Well, that's seven shades of "Ick!"

However, it is worth mentioning that gorillas have very, very small penises compared to their body size, humans are proportionately MUCH better equipped.

[bluejaybirdie.insanejournal.com]

Yeah, I actually remember reading something about that...it had the words "pencil-thin" in it. Then I had a long, long laugh.

[volksjager.insanejournal.com]

Statanna grabbin' a piece o' strange !

[besamim.insanejournal.com]

Yeah, I liked Ultra-Humanite better as a straightforward Golden-Age evil genius who was the first to be any sort of match for Superman. Not every villain needs a backstory.

And what's up with this Satanna person wearing an angrypunk cutoff t-shirt in a university lab? Is it meant to show that she and U-H have complete disdain for rules and authority? I'd think that point is established with, y'know, their experiments. Geez, while they were at it, why didn't the artists stick a swastika tattoo on her forehead and show her cooking up smack in a spoon over the bunsen burner? Y'know, just in case we drooling moron readers didn't get that she and UH were evil.

[thokstar.insanejournal.com]

About the only way this works is if this is a second Ultra-Humanite, distinct from the Golden Age/JSA guy. I can see why one would want to reintroduce a new version of the character, as the old Ultra-Humanite was killed off in the "Stealing Thunder" trade of JSA.

(Yes, time travel [which is already being used in Booster Gold to have an Ultra-Humanite around]+death is cheap presents a lot of ways to bring back him, but I could see why you'd want a second Ultra-Humanite around.)

I like Satanna. I'm a bit weird though. The art is fun too.

[20thcenturyvole.insanejournal.com]

... I don't know what it says about me that my first reaction was, "But gorillas have tiny penises!"

But, seriously. You've put him in a bestial, inhuman body, and now you're about to show him that not only is he a monster covered in blood, he's a monster with 1/3-scale junk. That'd piss off anyone.

[kamino_neko.insanejournal.com]

... I don't know what it says about me that my first reaction was, "But gorillas have tiny penises!"

That you're me? <_<

[zegim.insanejournal.com]

D'aaaawww ~*romance~*

[seriousfic.insanejournal.com]

Well, good to know Harley Quinn has someone she can look down on now.

[tahngarth.insanejournal.com]

Oh, so it's a NEW Ultra-Humanite. Hm, I guess that makes sense. Is the original still dead after Crimson Avenger destroyed his brain?

I highly doubt Johns would be happy if his big Ultra-HUmanite arc was retconned by this... Continuity freak that he is.

[killermoth1.insanejournal.com]

That is all kinds on messed up.....I think a part of my brain sacrificed itself to save the rest of me...

[volksjager.insanejournal.com]

Jarod hate spelling.

[jarodrussell.insanejournal.com]

"Three down and only seven to go. Some how I thought it would be harder than this."

I feel you, Monocle, but give Mist there time to get the ropes and chains, and he'll have Canary tied up...What? Oh, he didn't mean that would harder. Sorry.

[kitty_tc_69.insanejournal.com]

Am I the only one who thinks that the idea of PETA protesting makes the pair of them MORE sympathetic, not less?

And oh, yeah, "yeah we know you're gonna die if you can't crack how to make this procedure work, but saving the MONKEYS is more important". No wonder the dude is misanthropist, after that "fuck off and die" from society.

[unknownscribler.insanejournal.com]

Yeah, totaly with you on that.

[aaron_bourque.insanejournal.com]

What? WHAT????

THEY TOTALLY SKIPPED DELORES WINTERS!!!!!

Bourque is ANGRY RAAARGH!

Is it strange for me to ask someone to make an avatar for the 3rd scan 1st panel that has the Ultra-Humanite screaming, "PANCAKES!" ?
