what comic book character most deserves some serious Karma
yes that's right, whose so high up and getting away with everything for so long. Who would you knock down a few pegs, humble and how would you do it, and why.

Wolverine. If you ask why, you have not been paying attention.The Yosemite Bear wrote:yes that's right, whose so high up and getting away with everything for so long. Who would you knock down a few pegs, humble and how would you do it, and why.
I mean, there's only so far you can wank a character.
Brains!

Second for Wolverine. But it's the writers fault on him.
I'd like to see Iron Man taken down a peg right now. In the form of Thor showing up, finding out what happened with the Civil War + his buddy Captain America (he once told someone that Captain America may not have any powers, but he'd follow him into hell), and deciding Iron Man should be held accountable, Norse Style.
Either that, or the Hulk getting back and deciding the same thing.

Not just cloning him, but basically making the clone a cyborg slave. There's a name for people who make uber clones and then turn them into cyborg slaves: super villians.neoolong wrote:Reed Richards and I guess Hank Pym. Clone Thor? Dude, what the hell man. That's just wrong.

It would be rather funny to see the Hulk take Iron Man, crumple him up like a beer can, and stuff him into a BFI trash container.Solauren wrote:I'd like to see Iron Man taken down a peg right now.

When a character is considered to have transgressed the boundaries of good writing, they should be rendered with the Mullet of Shame until such time as the writers have deemed to be atoned.

Doctor Doom, Joker, Lex Luthor... Seriously, these so-called supervillains who think they're god because they should rule the world because they're smarter, when they have no superpowers and need to resort to dirty tricks like holding people hostage to make a superhero kneel before them, they need to die. Give Batman a worthy foe to face, e.g., Ra's al Ghul. Don't throw that pathetic loony at him again.
Superman deserves to put his writers through a revenge fic for this shit. Seriously, Superman as an energy being? If he's no longer just a super-powered Kryptonian, then why the fuck is he called Superman?! It's like DC doesn't know what the fuck are they to do with someone as godlike in power and purity of heart as Kal-El, so they castrate Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster's creation so they can write stories about an angsty emo Superman!Superman wrote:And before anyone says Superman, consider that I died, and, when I came back, I was forced to sport a mullet for the next year or two...
Please do not make Americans fight giant monsters.
Those gun nuts do not understand the meaning of "overkill," and will simply use weapon after weapon of mass destruction (WMD) until the monster is dead, or until they run out of weapons.
They have more WMD than there are monsters for us to fight. (More insanity here.)

Um- Joker thinks he deserves to rule the world because he's smarter? About the only time Joker thought he was God is when he WAS for all practical purposes-Emperor Joker. The rest of the time he's just plain nuts and has one HELL of a grudge against me. Ra's was the one with the 'I can make the world better' agenda, not the Joker.
And I don't think that DC not knowing what the hell they're doing is exactly recent news.

I'll agree there. Byrne and mullets would seem to go together like stink and shit.

Wolverine is an easy choice. Man, for the suffering he's brought the likes of Cyclops and others, slamming She-Hulk recently, and just being an uber wanked character...
But then one thinks of Tony Stark, and you really want him to suffer. Then you know Hulk is coming and you have hope it is alrady on the way, and want to go back to Wolv...But than you look at the recent Marvel releases.
And you see Richards seems to be given a blanket pardon by all involved, the FF members, Black Panther, Storm, etc. So, he gets no repercussions, except he has to spend time with his wife (Read: Lots of sex.). Richards needs to take a hit for what he's done, and the fact the writers and editors at Marvel are trying to pave over his part and settle it ALL on Iron Man makes it all the more needed.
Mr. Fantastic must pay!
Which is sad as he was one of my favorite characters. Damn, Marvel! I really dislike the Reed character now.

Unfortunately, yes, yes he is. I still have some of the issues, buried in storage. **shudder** Disturbingly bad, especially when the plastic surgery didn't 'take', and his features just kind of melted back to the way they were before.
Did I mention that, while he was black (and supposedly 'dead'), four pretenders show up, trying to claim the name 'Punisher'?
(My apologies, Loner, if you were being sarcastic...)
Anyway, on topic, I'd have to throw my hat in for Wolverine as well. I never used to hate the character, but with the wank they've thrown in in the last few years alone, it's getting hard not to root for his opponents. Personally, I'd like to see him brought back to the power levels he had right around the Claremont/Miller Wolverine miniseries. I'd love to see someone like Cyclops tear him a new asshole, but I seriously doubt Marvel would keep him down for long. Maybe Hulk can go toe to toe with him again this summer...
I don't like being a bastard, but they leave me no choice.

Being a big, green Conan the Barbarian does not make you cool.
Personally, the mere creation of Stark Solutions puts Tony well above other heroes, at least in my mind. I don't remember many other Marvel characters laying down very large sums of money for the purposes of charity. In terms of actual tangible good - that is to say, not just beating up on your favourite freak, but actually doing something worthwhile for mankind, Tony Stark is to my knowledge the best.But then one thinks of Tony Stark, and you really want him to suffer.
It helps that he's one of the few billionaire heroes, but I'm not going to beat on him for using his money to do something good.

Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."
