"What's in this briefcase could destroy the Ultimates...FOREVER!!!" -- Cover text

"What can destroy a team as powerful as this? Well, irreconcilable internal differences would do it, and this crossover is called 'Civil War'." -- Al Ewing

























"...and the mate."

Alas, America deduced Carol's one weakness: chairs.

[long_silence]

I thought it was cars

[crinos]

A chair is only two letters away from a car.

It counts.

[erikred]

If you look at it just right, "chair" looks like

hi
car

[scorntx]

Well, if it had been a car America had hit her with, Carol would've been a goner.
Since she was just struck with her lesser weakness, Carol's just incapacitated.

[shakalooloo]

It is one hell of a chair though: any regular chair should have shattered just from being smashed into something my MAC, let alone that thing it's being smashed over being Captain Marvel.

The Ultimates clearly don't skimp on the quality of office furniture.

Dang, for some reason, I was hoping the rest of Thanos' sentence was "...is in the mail."

[aperturedreams]

Funny you say that. He's talking to Sims and actually his full line is: "The Check is in the mail; the check...and the mate".

[icon_uk]

He ordered a mail-order bride? Ick!

[bradygirl_12]

I thought that Thanos was demanding payment. Ha!

[mizerous]

He's trying to do his best movie impersonation just waiting around until he can finally sit up, and go to the bathroom.

I like America Chairvez. Do you guys recommend anything I should be reading?

[thehood]

Well this book, which is really good and Young Avengers.

[bizarrohulk]

I have absolutely no idea what America was trying to achieve here.

Outside of professional wrestling, hitting people with chairs isn't a terribly effective way of settling philosophical disputes.

[shadowpsykie]

it's her world's version of slapping some one with a glove and demanding satisfaction.

[thehood]

She wasn't looking for a debate though.

[icon_uk]

In the Marvel universe? Between two disagreeing heroes? It's closer to foreplay I think...

[fra080389]

She always does that...

[halloweenjack]

Say what you will, at least it's an ethos.

[bruinsfan]

That tactic America pulled on Monica was pretty clever. (And effective; that's pretty much going to be a lengthy time-out from the fight for anyone but expert mystics and cosmic powered types.)
