Hulk #20 preview

[sherkahn]

The war between the Hulks and the Intelligencia continues. Brains vs. Brawn. And a new wrinkle that at least opens up possibilities.ComicBookResources has the preview of Hulk #20.






Couldn't go the way of the Matrix, right?

Leader, you know better. Keep a nice safe distance from Doom and you should be o.k. Like the other side of the planet.

For those of you too young to remember, here is the Liddleville technology. Obviously inspired by the Prisoner TV show.

Hm, by 'the eight', do they mean the eight smartest people on Earth? The list with Amadeus Cho, Hank Pym, etc.?

[fancronic]

Where is that complete list? I keep hearing stuff like "second smartest..." and such, where did that list appear?

[q99]

There's no complete list. It's just Amadeus showed up calling himself the 7th, then the return of realHank convinced him to bump himself down to 8th.

We can take guesses- Reed and Doom are shoeins, Tony, and likely some of those people on-page. Figuring out the list has become a fan hobby.

[colonel_green]

The list, based on this issue and comments made in Pak's first issue back on the title, is (in alphabetical order):

Bruce Banner
Amadeus Cho
Victor von Doom
Henry McCoy
Henry Pym
Reed Richards (#1)
Tony Stark
T'Challa

[thehood]

Pretty much.


The inteligencia wants to drain all their information,nenories, etc. from their brains.

Though Banner said Cho was the 10th.

[jlbarnett]

Please, these guys think Reed or Doom don't have the willpower to overcome that?

[hearthemvoices]

Reed Richards of Earth, you have the ability to overcome great fear.

Welcome to the Green Lantern Corps.

[thatnickguy]

That's a bit of a stretch. =p

[silverzeo]

Doom is SO going to kill him. I mean... they're nerds! MODOK made a D&D reference with a die. If I was Doom, I would not let a group of men, conisiting of a guy with a giant forehead, a floating head, a man that works with monkeys, and a man called Tinker, capture me and let them live to tell another soul about it... ever.

[daningram.insanejournal.com]

I think that, combined, there's no reason why this alliance couldn't stalemate Doom.

Modok and Leader are just one level below Doom in terms of resources or intelligence while the others are pretty smart in their chosen fields. Teamwork counts for somethin' ;)

[cainofdreaming]

And Wizard needs to just for the 'wizard did it' jokes Johnny would come up with if he ever heard about it.

[halloweenjack]

Kind of a mistake to show even part of Doom's face, although depicting it as scar tissue consistent with a badly-healed burn is logical.

[filkertom]

I was thinking that. They've been playing coy with exactly how physically damaged he is for almost fifty years, but that one panel basically makes him uglier than Anakin Skywalker.

Post-lava, I mean. ;)

[furioussterling]

I'm choosing to pretend it's a pre-programmed hologram Doom always running.

[seriousfic]

Unless it's make-up Doom wears. Or maybe he creates Doombots with various levels of scarrage, and one that looks like Tom Cruise, just for shits and giggles.

[zechs80]

Doom is so going to destroy everyone of them for this indignity!!

[espanolbot]

Oh so very true.

Doom, both a name and what happens to those who mess with the ones who carry it.

[schmevil]

Next time, please include some suggested tags.

[foxhack]

... That's not Doom.

Doesn't Doom have a full head of hair, and his scars are only miniscule?

[okkult3000]

It depends on who the creative team is... I mean, what model of Doombot he's using. Yes, that's it...

[aaron_bourque]

Doom's original body is long gone.

[thehood]

No, sometimes he does, sometimes he doesn't. Though his scars aren't miniscule.

[iskander]

Which prisoner ep. are you reffering to ?

[khaosworks]

Could be "A, B or C" or "Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling", off the top of my head.

[ian_karkull]

Whoa, sweet! Total Blast From The Past!
