I could go into more detail on this, but I won't because people seem to want to keep dbz out of it, and frankly so do I. I will just say, it doesn't matter what advantages superman holds over him. Goku will just reach some new level of super saiyan and Aizen stomp him. That's what all dbz characters do, and it's why any of these kinds of discussions involving dbz characters, are in essence, broken.

Also, why are we discussing VS matchups for 5 pages, when that kind of thing is taking away potential debates from mitch's thread. It says random comic thoughts. So I will go first.
New Krypton is first non-elseworlds superman story I've been interested in, since doomsday. |

This is elementary school all over again. Back when I was a kid some of my friends like Dragon Ball and I am a Comics Fan. We would always argue about who would win, blah blah blah, etc. It usually ended up with me walking away because I just don't care about Dragon Ball.

Yeah, only other great webcomic about superheroes is shortpacked, but most of that is about toys.

I really think New Krypton was a great concept that just spent too much time twiddling its thumbs, until just recently when they got going with the 'Last Stand of New Krypton' stuff. Superman and the Legion of Superheroes vs. General Zod and his faction vs. Brainiac and Lex Luthor? You have my attention, sir.
On the subject of Superman and his villains, as potentially awesome as Lex Luthor should be (the smartest and richest guy on the planet, is ballsy enough to repeatedly pit himself against one of the most powerful beings in the universe, etc), he's never really had himself a real "holy shit this guy is fucking awesome" moment. Like, the Joker has had a few moments that just blow you away for how far he's willing to go (killing Jason Todd, crippling Barbara Gordon, etc). Brainiac has been made out to be quite the badass since his return (particularly when Superman finally meets the real Brainiac for the first time, and Brainiac just plain beats the crap out of Supes with his bare hands). Darkseid has had more than his fair share of awesomeness, Zod has his catchphrase (and a whole army nowadays), even comedy villains like Bizarro and Toyman have had their time in the spotlight. But there's never really been a time when I've been just floored by some awesomely evil thing that Lex Luthor has done. Well, aside from the episode of Justice League Unlimited where he beats the living shit out of the Question for catching onto his scheme. The fun starts at about the 3-minute mark here: Last edited by Nowhere Man; 05-07-2010 at 12:25 PM. |

What about the time he gave everyone superpowers, then shut them off, and watched as they all fell to their deaths?

Yeah, Hulk is one of those guys who is only really awesome after he's "powered up" a bit. Take him out quickly and he's not much tougher than your usual big burly guy, and Spidey fights guys like that a lot (well, Rhino at least).
Actually, y'know who I'd love to see fight Hulk? Doomsday. That would just be ridiculous. |

I don't usually jump into threads that have so many pages coz I kinda assume the conversation has already developed etc and that I'd have missed too much.
But I just sat and read through all five pages, watched all posted videos and checked out every link to a Deadpool comic page, and I gotta say this thread is fucking awesome!!! |

So is anyone else currently noticing the Marvel fascination with Deadpool? I mean yes the guy is amazing, but damn, he's everywhere. Merc with a Mouth, Deadpool Team Up, Deadpool Corps, X-Men #17 and #18? He was 1 of the Hulks too I believe?

Well I guess its just logical. He is a very popular character. I just hope they don't burn him out. They started doing it a lot with Iron Man and Wolverine.

This is true, but then again, I've never been a huge Iron Man fan. To me, he's Marvel's Batman. Rich white guy with fancy toys.

Marvel did the same with Spider-Man and Wolverine, it'll slow down soon. Each time they see a rise in popularity they milk it dry.

On the subject of Superman...
I have pretty much loved everything Superman ever since "One Year Later". "Up Up and Away" is one of my favorite Superman stories. As is its followup "Back in Action". "Back in Action" probably has some of my favorite Superman panels ever. Might post them if I find them. Then James Robinson started doing his thing. New Krypton has definitely been strung out too much, making me miss the old days, but I can't wait for the ending. |

Superman leads a ragtag group of heroes (and Livewire) shortly after he has come back after his one year absence. There is still doubt whether he is the genuine article by some. Also, he has no powers at the moment due to something or other. I don't remember.

On the subject of Dick Grayson, I'm actually enjoying him way more as Batman than Bruce Wayne.
Honestly, out of the entire Bat-universe, Bruce is the least interesting character among them. His villains are all crazy and morbidly fascinating, his sidekicks all have genuine growth as characters and interesting personalities, but Batman himself is just kind of...dull in comparison. Guy barely ever emotes (aside from brooding or raging), is practically never wrong, and hasn't had a real genuine change in his personality since the days of Denny O'Neill and Frank Miller. Dick Grayson becomes Robin becomes Nightwing becomes Batman. Barbara Gordon becomes Batgirl becomes Oracle. Tim Drake becomes Robin becomes Red Robin. Stephanie Brown becomes Spoiler becomes Robin becomes Batgirl. Bruce Wayne becomes Batman....and just stays that way pretty much forever. |

He lost his powers at the end of Infinite Crisis, when he and the Superman of Earth-2 (the Superman from the old comics of the 30s and 40s) pulled Superboy-Prime through the heart of Krypton's red sun. I don't remember if it actually took him a whole year to get his powers back, or if he had mentally blocked himself from regaining them because he wanted to be normal for a little while, but either way, that's how he lost them.

I've always loved Nightwing as a character. There's just something about the concept that I dig. Robin growing up and becoming his own character is a great idea, and the look and name of the character are great.
The fact that Robin's costume started to resemble the Nightwing costume in Batman & Robin is the only cool thing about that fucking abyssmal film. |

Thought is was weird they didn't hook him up with blue for his suit, but I guess Batman & Robin's singular contribution to the grand scheme of things was making red/black a thing for Robin.

Sorry, Mitch. I wasn't trying to step on your toes. I didn't think a contest between Iron Man and Magneto or Green Lantern Batman vs. Red Lantern Hulk (both of which I didn't think would be covered or would even apply to your thing), would grow into what it is.

Sylar is the Martian Manhunter of "Heros" if she can avoid Sylars endless list of abilites Mystique can put an ass whipping on him that his grandchildren will wake up screaming about,plus shes highly resourceful I'll go with Rogue and Nightcrawlers neglectful mother for the win.
