    Ultimate Spider-Man #93 discussion (spoilers)

    Well Deadpool's ability to shapeshift isn't new to Bendis. Just reading the Wikipedia article it noted that early on in 616 Deadpool had an image inducer. It could be as simple as that, especially given the technological make up of his team. But overall I've been underwhelmed by this...

    Ultimates V2 #10 Discussion (SPOILERS)

    I also have to agree, the nanites are not a cop out plot device. they were mentioned early on and it works. If things are as they seem Tony's given his favourite lady a nice toy and one that will keep her safe. If he proves justified in his cynicism then it gives him a control mechanism over...

    Burning bridges (Ultimate X-Men spoilers)

    My point about Magneto being able to tell when his mind's being read, was that most telepath's wouldn't bother unless they had good reaon to. A) This Emma doesn't seem the type to casually read someone's mind if she were a telepath B) It's not something you'd tend to do because that would get...

    X-Men vs. the Ultimates (Ultimate Nightmare) Why'd it go down like that?

    As I said when this issue came out, there's a perfectly logical reason we can throw in for Fury acting so strangely. The transmissions didn't only affect telepaths so it only goes to figure they were affecting everyone down in that base. Fury may be hard as nails but in the end he's only human...

    Burning bridges (Ultimate X-Men spoilers)

    Whoops, forgot about the scene in the cell... But given that she was angry she may have been distracted, and she doesn't seem as invasive as Xavier.... so who knows. Also, I tend to think most telepaths would avoid just randomly reading Magneto's mind because he'd be sure to notice. He did...

    Burning bridges (Ultimate X-Men spoilers)

    For one thing Emma wasn't anywhere near Magneto (even Xavier has to be somewhere near someone to read their mind without Cerebro). Second Mystique was wearing the telepathy blocking helmet, which is why Jean didn't spot the imposter either. No telepath would have been able to.

    Which icon should die --REALLY die?

    Well if we go by 1602 continuity Spider-Man gets executed by the government along with all the other superheroes as an old man. So going by main Marvel universe timing that's about when the sun burns itself out here in reality. And as for DC, well Superman can be killed off in one age of...

    Lame Villains- Should be made better or not?

    Re: Ultimate Spider-Man #86 discussion (spoilers) Ah I see, I was going by the Spider-Man cartoon of several years past, where they appeared to be some sort of energy balsts. Shocker to electricity was simple conclusion. And really for a guy who uses vibrations wouldn't Vibrator be more...

    Lame Villains- Should be made better or not?

    Re: Ultimate Spider-Man #86 discussion (spoilers) Some characters are just unredeemable. For instance would anyone care to describe how say Stilt-Man (to take another villian Bendis has deservedly ridiculed) could be made cool. His power is super extendible stilts.... and given the name it's...

    Bendis talks on Ultimate Spider-Man at CBR; Ultimate Spider-Man #87 preview.

    Preview looks pretty good. We have a good explanation as to why they grabbed Flash and missed Peter. This is why it might have been a good idea to wait for this issue before complaining how lame it was for them to grab Flash out of the alley when Peter swung in. Bendis' writing on USM hasn't...

    Ultimate Ages

    Most likely But it looks like Wraith had overall command of the project, even from the early days (when it would have been very small given that they only had Wolverine). General Ross would be his immediate superior, and Fury at one point a junior officer who when promoted to Colonial moved...

    Ultimate Ages

    I have a response to Hawkeye's 'Return to Weapon X' proof. Couple things to consider, when we first see Wraith in UXM #2 neither he or any of the soldiers with him are wearing any special insignia. Yet we know from the next Arc that weapon X is a SHIELD division. So we see here that...

    How to retcon Ultimate Iron Man?

    Same difference. And besides Austin was so bad that he went from one of the most prolific writers in comicdom, to the point where his name on the cover was enough to put a book out of print. It's one thing for the intellectual snobs to call you a bad writer but when the general public finds...

    How to retcon Ultimate Iron Man?

    Yes he was. This is the guy who made Nightcrawler the son of the devil. Game, point, match. Doctor: So Mr. Stark I have to recommend to put the Iron Man thing on hold given the kind of manic delusions your brain tumour is causing. Tony: Cut off my foot, I dare you, go on! Doctor: Um...

    Costume complaints

    I'm gonna doa few responses here after reading the whole thread, so lets hope this makes sense. Boomarang: This was one of those lame Marvel villians that Bendis has loved mocking ruthlessly since he started up. Hemade fun of him in Daredevil and now he's making fun of him Ultimate style...

    Finally...a continuity glitch explanation

    The Ray Bradbury story was titled The Sound of Thunder if I recall correctly. Basically, a company has set up big gamehunts in the past killing ancient animals shortly before they were going to die in teh regular timeline. They have levitating paths to keep the hunters from touching and messing...

    Ultimates 2 #7 discussion (spoilers)

    Ah I'd for gotten about Loki stating that it would be one of the super soldiers... good point. No one quite fits... were it not for the joyful killing of Clint's wife and kids I'd say Cap... but then I can't see him and Hank having a friendly chat. Natash fits, but then that's why she doesn't...

    UXM #61 Discussion (Spoilers)

    Though for 616 I definitely feel Magneto has run his course - props to Morrisson for pointing this out... too bad other writers wimped out and brought him back yet again *COUGH* Austin *COUGH* Clermont - I think Ultiamte Magneto still has a role to play. He one of the most powerful figures in...

    Ultimates 2 #7 discussion (spoilers)

    Just a few comments: 1) Killing Clint makes sense if you are a group moving against Fury. Clint and Fury are old buddies from the early days of SHEILD, so brutally murdering Clint and his family while under full SHEILD surviellance is a direct message for Fury. 2) I'm with those who feel...

    The Ultimates 2 #6 Discussion (Spoilers)

    I liked the issues, very different in tone and as such a shock to the system but good in an offbeat kind of way. It also addresses the issue of other people wanting to be super heroes... which happened a lot in 616. This is what would really happen, a bunch of losers who get ridiculed and and...
