His suit is not too bulky.<br />I wish Hawkeye in the Avengers film had the costume used in this issue. I guess a purple and blue outfit and a mask with those two eye things sticking out would not translate well to a live action film. SW perfectly describes how the mismatches turn out to be so fun. Black Panther doesn't even have super powers, and he is going up against the master of the mystic arts? And his partner is Mantis? My memory is fuzzy regarding Doc Strange's martial arts display in this issue. I will have to reread the compilation trade of the Avengers/Defenders war. (Alas, I did not hang onto any of my bronze issues.) I agree with SW that DS doing martial arts doesn't fit. Just like it would not fit for him to have giant muscled arms they seem to draw on characters even if they don't engage in fistacuffs. SW, you are the man when it comes to all things comics, but you are especially great with the bronze age!<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-24194982788665144252010-12-12T22:37:38.612+00:002010-12-12T22:37:38.612+00:00Hi, vaguarity.

Somehow it seems out of character.Stevehttp://stevedoescomics.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-29324819781087787672010-12-12T22:16:39.334+00:002010-12-12T22:16:39.334+00:00Well, not a mastery, but in The Oath, he does comm...Well, not a mastery, but in The Oath, he does comment that though he is Wong's Master, in some aspects Wong is his, right before laying some kung fu down.<br /><br />He's no Iron Fist, but he's not an easy target for a mugging.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
