Marvel, always classy.

Class, one might say, out the ass.

Aside From The Obvious

Where does a fugitive like Cage get the cash for an iPhone, or the time to program it? I mean, presuming it's not one of those cheap knockoffs...

Are Cage's organs steel-hard, too? Couldn't Antman at least rupture his stomach?

[stolisomancer.insanejournal.com]

His powers have changed so much between his introduction and now that "steel-hard organs" wouldn't honestly be beyond him.

It's sort of backed up by canon. Christopher Priest had Cap and Falcon track down Luke once to get a blood sample, using a Vibranium needle, because his blood was still infused with the chemical substance that had given him his powers in the first place. If Luke is still full of chemicals, it's probably not beyond the bounds of comic-book reason that he's growing steadily tougher.

Maybe all of his epithelial tissues are steel-hard?

[va1tyr.insanejournal.com]

I thought his interior had the usual kind of conditions - in Secret War, he gets blown up and while his skin isn't pierced, is interior is battered about quite seriously - then they can't operate, because they can't get through his skin.

DO HO HO HO HO

. . . Did Ant-Man call him "Broseidon"? Just what the heck is that supposed to mean? Bro+Poseidon?

[punishermax.insanejournal.com]

Yeah at it's amazing.

[schala_kid.insanejournal.com]

There is also Broham, Broseph, Broski, Bronathan, Brometheus, Brosama, and Brobo Cop. Current new shitty slang where you just put bro in front of everything.

[toasty_fresh.insanejournal.com]

Well, yes-- but why "Poseidon"? Is there some reference to Greek mythology I'm missing?

[schala_kid.insanejournal.com]

I don't think there's really a reason other than it "sounds cool", really.

Then there's this urbandictionary entry which doesn't really help.

Just don't think about it that much.

Glad to see Cage is all right after that machine short-circuited his powers.

[menagerie.insanejournal.com]

Luke Cage ate horse shit? Really? Wow.

Ya know, Superheroing has gotten a lot stranger in the past few decades, sometimes in some very bad ways.

Poor Ant-man

[esc0.insanejournal.com]

Guy got no respect this issue, he was literally treated like $hit :(

[psychop_rex.insanejournal.com]

Ant Man must have a pretty well-armored suit if he was able to survive something like that. I mean - digestive acids, anyone? (Also, just how did he think he was going to get OUT without, eh, doing what he evidently eventually did? Induce vomiting from within?)

[salamangkiero.insanejournal.com]

If Cage butt-clenched while ant-man was going out...it would have been a bizarre murder case.
