I still hate Guy's hair though















I cannot express to you my excitement when I saw this panel. Guy Gardner is a hilarious asshole. Lobo is a hilarious asshole. TOGETHER, THEY HAVE DOUBLE THE HIL
ARITY. I have a deep, occasionally irrational love for each of these characters and my heart burst with joy at the prospect of them together. They kind of mentioned in passing something about Lobo and Guy teaming up WHICH WOULD BE AWESOME AND I NEED TO FIND THIS COMIC LIKE, YESTERDAY.

















Spidey is so out of his league here. He may be A list in the Marvel universe, but he's no match for the DCU.















Nick Charles!

This is from Plastic Man v4. The comic took a little getting used to at first: it's very unrealistic and cartoony (to match the Tex Avery-esque art) but I think I like it. Sometimes it seems very child-like and Looney Tunes humour, and then Kyle Baker will throw in a sexual innuendo. It's very jarring sometimes. I prefer Plastic Man's wackiness with some serious moments thrown in, whereas vol. 4 is all wackiness, all the time.

I also like the Tin Soldier segment
















If you were going to make a joke about the Greek gods' choices in sexual partners, you could do a lot better than a homosexuality joke. For instance, you could talk about Zeus's penchant for fucking anything with four legs, or his penchant for fucking his relatives.















Hey, I love Fantasia 2000. Rhapsody in Blue and Carnival of the Animals were great.

















My favourite part of Superman/Batman was Superman's unexpected snark streak. He's kind of like Betty White on Golden Girls: you think he's so sweet and innocent and then BAM snark attack! It works especially well since Batman (when not written by Joe Kelly at least) is so humourless.

That could take poke out an eye















Red Hood has kidnapped Dick and Damian and posted online that if he had enough votes, a live webcam feed of those two naked would go up.
1. I'm pretty sure that everyone in the DCU wants to see Dick naked.
2. Damian is 10 years old. That shit is MESSED. UP.















Ollie and Clint are so much alike that it's so hilarious when they interact. What happens when two overly cocky archers come together? AWESOMEN
ESS.

I just noticed right now that Clint is JACKED. Ollie needs to work out more.


















Frank Miller...boobs don't work that way.

I can't think of Sherwood Forest the same way.
















So much about this that I love. Doom didn't have enough foresight to make his armour impervious to repeated blows. Luke is the only - repeat, THE ONLY - person to e
ver try this. Doom's face whe
n his circuitry breaks down. And later on Doom is completely charmed by Luke Cage and shows him a secret passageway out of his castle and lets him escape Latveria. I smell sitcom.


















Come on, DC, you already have one skank with a boob window, and her name is Power Girl.















Yeah, they did a lot more than that, chibi!Canary, but you're too young to hear about that.

Pink pants















I get that Shulkie's supposed to be sassy and sexy, but that doesn't seem to be the best outfit of choice to argue in court.















Not to mention, that's a lot of boobage for a prestigious job like She-Hulk's.














I love Parademon. He's so perceptive. I'm sad he's only in the first mini. Now that I think about it, I love anyone and anything out of Apokalips. I love Barda, I love Mr. Miracle, I love Parademon, and I'm fond of all the Furies (especially Granny Goodness). I even enjoy reading about Darkseid.

Pimp
















This dude is PIMPED. OUT. Check out that gigantic gau
ntlet. Also, if I'm not mistaken, he runs his little operation inside the alternate dimensio
n inside Cloak's cloak.
















From Batman and Robin, I present to you: Flamingo.
Damian: I expected scary, not gay.

















I can't remember this plotline AT ALL, but I love JJ's bling.















This guy has, hands down, the best outfit of all time. Pimp on top, voodoo master on the bottom.
















I love these time travelling pimp wolves. Probably the only part of Joss Whedon's run on Runaways that I liked.

Who would win in a fight?

I picked ten heroes from the DCU and MU (five males, five females) and put their names on pieces of paper and mixed them up in two separate bowls. I picked two at a time and pitted them against each other. Before you are the results:

Spider-Man vs. Aquaman
Abilities
Spider-Man- web shooters, increased speed and agility, can stick to walls.
Aquaman- Can talk to animals, can breathe underwater

On paper, Aquaman looks really lame, but he’s stronger than people give him credit for. Dude got his arm chewed off by a piranha and he’s still badass. Unfortunately, all fights take place on land, so Aquaman has a distinct disadvantage already. Spider-Man is faster and more agile. However, overall Aquaman is definitely stronger and probably the better strategist. In his fight with Namor, he dropped a whale on that guy’s head. Aquaman just needs to do that and Spidey’s toast.
WINNER: Aquaman

Molly Hayes vs. Blue Beetle (Jaime Reyes)
Abilities
Blue Beetle- basically anything: suit has a large arsenal of weapons, strength, speed, flight.
Molly Hayes- super-strength, cuteness.

This one seems easy at first: Molly doesn’t have much besides super strength, and she has to sleep after even one use of that resource. Blue Beetle can do practically anything. HOWEVER, Jaime would never in a million years use his powers against an eleven year old girl, especially since he has a sister the same age. I think they would make a truce.
WINNER: Draw

Hercules vs. Ragdoll
Abilities
Ragdoll- can contort himself into any shape imaginable
Hercules- super strength

If Ragdoll tries to pull his signature move and strangle Herc from above, Herc will crush him like a beer can.
WINNER: Hercules

Power Man vs. Power Girl (I swear I didn’t rig this)
Abilities
Power Man- skin of steel, super strength
Power Girl- Flight, super strength, skin of steel

This would be a pretty even match. Both are very strong, both are brawlers, and both are determined. But even though Power Man has about 250 pounds on her, he’s only human and she’s a Kryptonian. Plus she can fly.
WINNER: Power Girl

Outlaw vs. Damian Wayne (Robin)
Abilities
Outlaw- expert markswoman, martial artist, degree of super strength
Damian- martial artist

If Outlaw was doing her best, I would say she would win hands down. But here’s what I see happening: Outlaw would be pulling her punches because Damian’s just a kid. He would then sneak in there and take her down because he has no such compunctions.

WINNER: Damian

Squirrel Girl vs. Oracle
Abilities
Squirrel Girl- practically invincible
Oracle- martial artist, professional badass

Much as I love Oracle, Squirrel Girl pwns everyone. No exceptions.

WINNER: Squirrel Girl

Spider-Girl vs. Guy Gardner
Abilities
Spider-Girl- enhanced strength, speed, and agility; can stick to things, trained fighter
Guy Gardner- Power ring allows him to make anything he thinks of manifest, pretty strong without it though

Guy has no such moral standards about beating up on teenagers, thus, no silly draws here. Spider-Girl has been improving and she’s taken down an impressive number of villains, but Guy has been in the game longer, he can make anything he wants just by thinking about it, and he really, really wants to win.
WINNER: Guy Gardner

Deadpool vs. Wonder Woman
Abilities
Deadpool- healing factor, expert at multiple weapons
Wonder Woman- flight, expert martial artist, owns lasso of truth

Let’s face it: Wonder Woman is A-list, and Deadpool is stuck in the B-list. In Secret Six, Deadshot shot at her at point blank range and she deflected every bullet with her bracelets. She’s been in the JLA with Plastic Man so she’s immune to mile a minute patter. He may be able to heal, but all she has to do is pick him up and fly him to the nearest lake and drop him in.

WINNER: Wonder Woman

Cassandra Cain vs. She-Hulk
Abilities
Cass- can predict opponents’ moves, excellent martial artist
She-Hulk- super strength, healing

Cassandra is undoubtedly the better fighter, but She-Hulk is about 10 times stronger than Cass is. So the question is, does strategy beat pure muscle? All Cass would have to do is that nerve pinch thing she's done to Spoiler multiple times, and Shulkie's out.
WINNER: Cass

Wolverine vs. Barda
Abilities
Wolverine- adamantium claws, healing factor, indestructible skeleton
Barda- extreme strength, awesomeness

Wolverine has brute strength and determination, but Barda lived in Apokalips for a long time. That place isn’t exactly Candyland. Plus Barda can uproot trees. She’s stronger than Wolverine AND she’s the more advanced fighter.
WINNER: Barda

SCORE
DC-7
Marvel-2
Tie: 1
