Just another data point: In X-Men #1, Iceman is said to be sixteen, and he gripes about not being treated as an equal because he's "a couple years younger" than Scott, Warren, and Hank.

McDonnell was back yet again on tonight's episode. You should enjoy it, she and Sedgewick were getting downright slashy towards the end...

Still, you have to enjoy the irony of Kurtz flipping out because they got his name wrong...and then he mis-attributes a Steve Ditko character to Jack Kirby. ;D

He's become such an institution now, it's easy to forget how completely out-of-left-field Spider-Man was originally. A scrawny, broke, socially-awkward geek who gets superpowers...and REMAINS a scrawny, broke, socially-awkward geek. Where's the wish fulfillment? Where's the power fantasy? Even Stan's boss said it was too weird, it'd never sell. And yet it went on to revolutionize the genre and the industry.

Moench and Perez/Byrne/Perez on Avengers. Moench never did Avengers... you mean Shooter? Or Michelinie? Englehart/Brunner on Doctor Strange Steranko on SHIELD Gerber/Ploog on Man-Thing Maggin/Swan on Superman Levitz on Legion of Super-Heroes Claremont/Byrne on X-Men

Name one thing James T. Kirk is allergic to*. I vaguely remember this bit, though not what it was specifically called. Kirk had to start wearing reading glasses in Wrath of Khan, because he was allergic to whatever it is they usually use to fix people's eyesight in the 23rd century.

Diamond Distributing bites the dust in the next 18 months - 65% Doesn't DC have "right of first refusal" if Diamond ever goes up for sale? That could get ugly. I'm not sure the direct market could survive another Heroes World-style distributor war. That seems counter-intuitive to me. If the new corporate bean-counters want to streamline, it'll be the marginal, low-selling titles that get cut, not the big franchises.

I'd also toss in Adam West Batman versus the Heath Ledger Joker. Now THAT would be a showdown of epic proportions It would be interesting to see them trying to one-up each other with their respective abilities to bend the laws of physics and common sense: Joker: "Well, Bats, I'd love to stay and chat, but in the five seconds you were busy picking your nose, I rigged the room with enough explosives to take out half a continent. Say goodnight, Gracie!" Batman: "You poor, deluded clown. What you didn't realize is that rather than picking my nose, I was actually activating the Bat-Mass-Defuser Circuit hidden in the nosepiece of my cowl. Those barrels of nitroglycerin are now as harmless as chicken soup. Incidentally, if you had more chicken soup in your diet, you might have a more pleasant disposition." Joker: "Very clever indeed, my caped friend. But if you'll stand in that precise spot for just one second longer, you'll see I had a backup plan...goddamnit, why isn't that schoolbus running you over?" Batman: "I suspected you might try something like that. I took the precaution of hiding a powerful Bat-Electromagnet beneath the floorboards, which stopped the bus in its tracks. And, as your confederate at the wheel has no doubt noticed, that same magnet is preventing the bullets he's shooting at me from hitting their target. Although judging by the angle of his aim, he'd have a hard time hitting the broad side of a barn, regardless." Joker: "Tell me about it. You just can't get good help nowadays. Did I mention that I captured Commissioner Gordon, Alfred, and Aunt Harriet, and strapped them all to bombs in different parts of the city, and that you only have time to save one of them?" Batman: "I think you'll find, on closer examination, that what you kidnapped were actually lifelike mannequins, equipped with tiny tape-recorders to simulate their voices. Needless to say, they are also filled with Bat-Flame-Retardant Foam, which will prevent your incendiary bombs from doing any large-scale damage." Joker: "Oh for fuck's sake. Who the hell are you, Jesus Christ?" Batman: "To use your own crude vernacular, Joker -- I'm the goddamn Batman."

For example, if you say Hulk vs. Batman, you need to explain if it's Bana Hulk or Norton Hulk, and if it's Adam West Batman, Burtonverse Batman or Nolanverse Batman. Adam West Batman beats all versions of Hulk, since he would be equipped with Anti-Gamma Radiation Bat-Spray. ;D How about some same actor - different role face-offs? The Bride (Kill Bill) beats Poison Ivy (Batman & Robin) - Ivy's pheromones don't appear to work on women, and Ms. Kiddo probably has enough sheer willpower to resist anyway. Ted Logan (Bill & Ted) beats Neo (The Matrix) by traveling back in time and convincing him to take the blue pill instead.

McDonnell was back on tonight's episode. It appears that she and Chief Brenda are going to have an ongoing unresolved sexual tension debate about proper police methods...

I dunno, I kind of like it. Dressing him like a 1950s college professor helps offset how young he looks.
