You'd think someone like, say, Ra's al Ghul would have figured that out, what with being the leader of the league of assassins and all.<br /><br />But, you know, if you're going to question something as basic as that, you really have to ask yourself how come those geezers are running around in masks and underwear in the first place anyway, and how come they never get sectioned. <br /><br />-seanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-44224507950044844042017-02-03T22:17:38.263+00:002017-02-03T22:17:38.263+00:00Ultron's the classic.

They just never ever learned.Steve W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09191442559702617745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-79124429519297595552017-02-03T20:49:57.884+00:002017-02-03T20:49:57.884+00:00Don't think they ever explained Sandman's ...Don't think they ever explained Sandman's fluctuating speech patterns, but there was definitely an issue of DD where Electro kept jumping backwards and forwards between 'It will avail you naught' criminal mastermind verboseness and 'ya lousy crumb' Hawkeye style street talk.<br />DD only won 'cos Electro ended the battle by going into a full-blown schizo nervous breakdown. so they did tackle that once. It was when DD was in Frisco.pete doreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17004574271734256770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-42869048201478592202017-02-03T09:33:32.768+00:002017-02-03T09:33:32.768+00:00Whatever cosmic awareness is, the Sandman didn'...Whatever cosmic awareness is, the Sandman didn't seem to have any here.<br />That lunk-head managed to knock Spider-man unconscious, and instead of just killing him, he straps him to a laboratory table and fires a freeze-ray at him, cackling like a mad man the whole while.<br />Apparently he never saw Goldfinger. Spider-Man gets loose, of course, and turns the ray back on him, turning the Sandman into a moron popsicle.<br /><br />M.P.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-50459212427873194292017-02-03T08:43:51.142+00:002017-02-03T08:43:51.142+00:00Sean and Colin, thanks for the Cosmic Awareness in...Sean and Colin, thanks for the Cosmic Awareness information.

The nearest galaxy to us is 2.3 million light years away in the constellation of Andromeda. The Andromeda galaxy is twice as big as the Milky Way and both galaxies are part of the "local group". There may be 400 billion galaxies in the observable universe. That is Cosmic Awareness :D This week's Captain Britain is apparently the issue where all the colour pages were printed in the wrong order - I knew it was one of the weeks from early 1977 but recently my fellow commenter DW pinpointed the exact issue so thanks to him if he's reading this. Anyway, what a disaster that was - a classic Marvel UK cock-up ! And I see Marvel was taking liberties with the mutants in an ape film again as I don't recall the mutants in "Battle" having half-metal faces. But I'd stopped reading POTA by this point anyway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
