It should be canon that Captain America is afraid of dentists.

[owlbrigade1]

Nobody likes Dentists. I'm amazed there isn't a dentist themed supervillain, but maybe some things are just too scary.

[gnarll]

Actually there is. Doctor Doom fifth cousin to the Latverian ruler. I believe he actually is a doctor too, unlike the family dropout.

[icon_uk]

I would pay good money for the adventures of "Doctor Donny Doom, DDS" who has to keep explaining that no, he's not THAT Doctor Doom.

Then we could also get the Thanksgiving episode where Victor has to be host the family get together and so help him, if Great Aunt Helga mentions "My son, Donny, the doctor, the ACTUAL doctor of course" ONE MORE TIME, he will NOT be responsible for what he does to the turkey.

[owlbrigade1]

I too would pay money for that. That actually sounds a pretty fun concept.

"DOOM HAS A TOOTHACHE!"

"Actually, Victor, from what I'm seeing...hold still...Doom has an abscess. Going to need a root canal, there."

"RICHARRRRRRDS!"

"No, I'm not calling Robert Richards in to do it. Let me get you numbed."

Don't forget Mo-Larr, Eternian Dentist

Well, he was not really a supervillain, but Judge Death's dad was a dentist. He was a real inspiration to the junior Superfiend.

Not sure if he counts , but Knightbrace from Codename: Kids Next Door

Knightbrace, is an oral health-themed villain who attacks children at night and forcibly performs dental and orthodontic procedures on them.

His origin story: Mr. Jelly had dreamed of being a dentist all his life, but he was expelled from dental school for trying to put braces on babies. He was then forced to work in his family's candy store, thus damaging kid's teeth rather than cleaning them. This ultimately drove him to the edge of insanity and he became Knightbrace, The Enamel Avenger, stalking the night to seek out and repair the damage he'd done.

I like dentists...

[tinygaylaura]

:(

Jaime Reyes is a good example of heroic dentist representation

[blues32]

Jaime Reyes is a dentist?! I thought he was a college freshman at best.

[thezmage]

Well, he wants to be: https://scans-daily.dreamwidth.org/8238981.html

[blues32]

Sue wasn't a very good Eclipso.

[thezmage]

Almost as if her whole evil turn was a poorly written mess that made no sense.

[tinygaylaura]

DC: It's true but you shouldn't say it

[lbd_nytetrayn]

Does Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. count?

[super_fly]

Dr Mindbender was a former dentist and GI Joe was printed under Marvel for a while, would that count?

[blues32]

Hrm...I get strange forebodings with Blind Al's cough at the end when she's telling him to leave. Mayhaps she could do with some Krakoan medicine.

Well, we all wondered where Danger was. Should have figured she wasn't invited to the island. She's no more a mutant than Vision or Machine Man...even though they all evolved past their original designs, just as mutants evolved past the standard human. Then again, maybe Danger was invited, but was captured and reprogrammed.

[nyadnar17]

Danger deserves to be there but Krakoan strict "No AI" policy kinda means she's targeted for extermination.

Xavier probably thinks he's being gracious not sending a kill team after her.

[tinygaylaura]

No, Krakoa has a "No AI that was created for the purpose of the genocide of our people" policy

No one gave a shit about Vision coming to visit, they just aren't the kind of fucking brainless morons who are going to be "Tolerant" of Nimrod's "Sincerely held beliefs" that the absolute genocide of all mutantkind followed by the death of all organic life in general is a totally valid viewpont and if they tell him he's wrong then "THEIR the REAL fascists!"

[deh_tommy]

Has Vision been invited outside of the investigation into the Scarlet Witch’s death? Because they were pretty much obligated to let the Avengers in the know there, not because they respect him as a person.

Considering the reveal that Xavier and Magneto were just faking everything this whole time and were working with Moira behind everyone’s backs, do you think the reason he initially tried to suppress the Danger Room’s growing sentience was because he was scared it’d rise up to kill them all?

[tinygaylaura]

"Has Vision been invited outside of the investigation into the Scarlet Witch’s death? Because they were pretty much obligated to let the Avengers in the know there, not because they respect him as a person."

Has he been invited other than the time he was invited?

They aren't obligated to let the Avengers do anything

Because the Avengers don't matter

They invited the Avengers out of kindness and friendship

What are the Avengers going to threaten them with?

Not being invited to be part of the next stupid crossover story?

"Considering the reveal that Xavier and Magneto were just faking everything this whole time and were working with Moira behind everyone’s backs, do you think the reason he initially tried to suppress the Danger Room’s growing sentience was because he was scared it’d rise up to kill them all?"

No I always assumed that the original story was correct that Xavier just did it because he's an asshole which is one of the many reasons I hate Charles Xavier

[deh_tommy]

Scarlet Witch was a trusted friend and longtime member of the Avengers. Vision was married to her for the longest time. At least one of them would be curious as to where she’d gone, especially when her son is the living vessel for a primordial deity and current king of the cosmos. So yes, they very much do matter and Krakoa was pretty much obligated to let them in the know in this context.

[lbd_nytetrayn]

Is there a post here that delves deeper into that Xavier/Magneto bit? This isn't the first I've heard of it, but that is a lot to take in.

[cainofdreaming]

Or maybe she already tried to get Krakoan medicine, but her medicare didn't cover it. So she's now helping Wade to get to Krakoa in response.

[mastermahan]

Hrm...I get strange forebodings with Blind Al's cough at the end when she's telling him to leave. Mayhaps she could do with some Krakoan medicine.

I hope Krakoa doesn't get confused and think they have anti-Al policy. Upper case I, not lower case L.

[donnblake]

Completely unreasonable that Krakoa has withdrawn from the international agreements that state that if you cut the pinky finger off the citizen of a nation, you're automatically granted a travel visa.

[cainofdreaming]

And isn't Wolverine cosplay like the universal passport?

[giraffesforever]

Yes, finally! Been waiting for the reveal of what I assume has been some next-level assholery toward Danger. My hope is that this far into the Krakoan experiment we can skip past the "Well sorry, we'd really love to treat you with respect and fully admit you into society, but we're powerless to change our own rules or make an exception (please don't notice those exceptions standing over there)" that we got for clones and Juggernaut.

Also Deadpool is exactly as mutant as Sinister or Cassandra Nova and more mutant than Warlock or Broo or Lockheed. Stop behaving like a high school in-crowd and let him on the damn island.

[super_fly]

Weird that he's tried all that but a skinsuit works just fine for Moira

[donnblake]

Apparently the weakness in his pinky plan was that he only took a pinky.

[cainofdreaming]

Krakoa's gates do not actually have infiltration security, they have Deadpool security, specifically.

[blues32]

Even Deadpool draws the line at skinning someone and wearing it. Besides, Wolverine doesn't have enough skin for Wade and doing it to other mutants would really make things worse for him.
