Yknow what pisses me off? When a character has a specific trait or ability that is either used semi-consistently and forgotten, or just mentioned and then never brought up again. Let's bring back some of our favorites.Venom can camouflage into his environment using the symbiotes ability to mimic or create patterns and surfaces. Peter only used this to create other outfits while wearing the symbiote.
>>153347971The discussion even on Wednesdays really took a hit from Marvel and DC's antics. Appreciate the effort OP, have a bump.
>>153348589Yeah, it’s wild. I don’t think even half of the comics that came out today are even being storytimed. I guess I can’t blame people, but it’s such a shame to see the last real place for somewhat genuine comic discussion dying with a whimper.The fact that /co/ is the last bastion of this shit is even more depressing. Social media is a hell-pit of secondaries and butthurt industry-people, forums are intensely aggressive and kill discussion quicker than anthrax kills mice, and almost every other online outlet has been beaten to death for one reason or another.
>>153347971I wondered, when did they stop using this? Cause I know it was definitely around in the early 90s.
What else
>>153347971Mostly unrelated but this is from Ghost Rider/Blaze Spirits of Vengeance and I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on that series? I just read this 4 part storyline in a Spider-Man vs Venom omnibus and it seemed pretty rad in an 'EXTREME 90s' kind of way. Ghost Rider is not something I had ever read before but I liked the dynamic of Blaze and the demon being different characters and there was some funny edgelord stuff like a holy shotgun/flamethrower. I don't think the series was ever collected and I haven't been able to find any reviews/articles talking about it. Only ran for about 25 issues I think.
>>153349000I think around the early 2000s when Venom came back in Jenkins Spectacular Spider-Man and Daniel Way’s Venom book after he’d been put on the shelf for a bit
>>153347971Like Darksied, Orion has/had the ability to channel his own cosmic power, the astro force.
>>153350881I haven't read it, but that and the 'Road to Vengeance' storyarc have some of the most 90's color choices on Marvel covers in the best way. Flourescent pinks, oranges and greens everywhere.
>>153347971Didn't he last use this in Web of Shadows?
>>153349000>>153350927Angelo Fortunato briefly used the camouflage ability before he died. >>153350881I love the line Spider-Man has about Venom being his mirror opposite, what he would become if he started mindlessly killing.
>>153347971yeahhh there's a lot from the past that's either silly or OP that I want quietly forgotten, but the symbiote's ability to mimic other materials is not one of them.I feel like it's weirdly Carnage's fault? Like, with the Venom suit, you could still buy "Peter was thinking about Julia, so the suit morphed into a facsimile of her style but in the shape of his Peter's costume" but once Carnage shows up, and everything he makes is.. still made out of red-and-black streaky fleshy goo, then the nature of the shapeshifting changes. Now we expect Venom to just make shapes out of black goo (and teeth) and so that's all he does.
>>153351251Yeah I really enjoyed the storyline. It had fun characterization for all 4 major characters and it was just good clean action and adventure. It felt very much like what the archetypal superhero comic should be.
>>153347971Just about all the Paper/Rock/Scissors of the different Lantern Corps powers was ignored after Johns. >Red could depower Green, but was countered by Blue>Blue depowers Yellow and powers up Green>Yellow depowers Red and hard counters Green unless they learn how to overcome fear>Blue hard counters Orange,>Orange absorbs all colors to charge itself back up>Blue has no power unless Green is nearby >Violet can hard counter Yellow>Green+ any other color is required to kill a Black Lantern>Indigo charges off other lanterns like Orange>There can only be a single active Orange Lantern, everyone else is killed when putting on a ring>Red and Violet have the strongest influence over the wielders, enough to reprogram their brains>Indigo and Orange strongly influence their wielders but not as much as Red and Violet.
>>153347971I don't remember the specific issue, but in Spider-Man's first run they mention that he can attach his mask to his face
>>153347971This was used to much in his earliest appearances that it seemed like Venom's main power and the reason why he was scary. It seems to have been dropped around the time writers decided to imitate Terminator 2 and have Venom morph blades and spears out of symbiote goo. Then that became his main power. When Carnage came along that was also his main thing, plus he never seemed to make his costume look like clothes at all. Like making big goo blades was all he could do.>>15334900094-ish really. He quit camouflaging to be invisible but still used the trick to make the symbiote look like clothes. whenever he wanted to hide he just made the suit look like street clothes and he would hide in a crowd.
>>153347971Xavier also had telekinesis but it was incredibly weak. Only strong enough to lift a single book for a few minutes. He also have a superior brain so he could be able to read 4 books at the same time and be able to recall everything he read in them with perfect memory. He got his doctorate in his early 20s due to being a genius.
>>153352283>Blues are either useless or horribly OP depending on their proximity to a Green>Yellow brings back the stupid "Yellow weakness" in rookie Greens>Red are mindless morons who can't even make constructs>all this other shit nobody can rememberSee, there's a reason a bunch of this shit got ditched.
>>153347971Blackbolt used to have total control over all electrons and could create matter from oxygen molecules. He could make anything he wanted.
>>153347971Optimus Prime has faced off with zombies.
>>153352604You mean this asshole could've been talking through a white board and dry erase marker this whole time?
>>153352283>>153352475All of that is still mostly intact in terms of cannon, the only thing that's really ignored nowadays are the indigos, and their whole mind prison deal.
This might be cheating, but throughout hitmans run Tommy's telepathy pretty much completely disappears from the story and is almost never even acknowledged after a certain point.
>>153347971Symbiotes used to be able to travel through phone and internet connections as well…somehow. I kinda miss how nonsensical stuff was sometimes.>>153348912It really is impossible to get good comic or even cartoon discussion elsewhere. /co/ has definitely seen better days, but it feels like the whole internet is circling the drain. If this place ever goes permanently, I’ll be mourning it like a lost limb
>>153347971Parallax didn't used to exist, Hal Jordan just went fucking postal one day
>>153348912Storytimes stopped being mandatory when comic piracy sites became so trivial to access.
>>153347971Everything about Booster Gold that isn't his force field. His wrist blasters which are admittedly underpowered to anything that isn't a mook, his exosuit which gives him super strength, his dope ass goggles that do things telescopic vision or thermal vision and of course his legion flight ring that lets him fly.
>>153352879To be entirely fair to hal, ET was at least 50% on the guardians
>>153352283Well you see Johns fucked up when he made all their powers practically the same. All of what you said is very surface level stuff that's easily ignored.Reds were probably the most unique at one time considering most of them just threw up acid and couldn't make constructs but pretty sure they undid that. Star Sapphires at least had the crystal bullshit though again that was mostly ignored in favor of constructs.If he wanted the Skittles Corps powers to not be ignored he should've had Blue, Indigo, and Orange be something completely different like Red instead of "has constructs but uhhh here's some limitation that comes up a couple times or some random power they use once on top of the constructs they use 99% of the time".
>>153348912The only place I even remotely enjoy now is random youtubers and their discords. Which is kind of grim and parasocial. Discord servers only last a month for me everyone pisses me off or jannies or weird woke shit. Strange Brain Parts demanded I call Grant Morrison a they them in his rules and I fucking couldnt so Inwas there long enough to see there was a probabaly OK community run by an old fag.
>>153347971Donna had more abilities whenever she was associated with the Titans of Myth due to being given gifts and powers by them.>forcefields>cold and darkness manipulation>generic photonic blasts>the starfield is an actual map of space and she's able to track people/navigate using itMost of the stories with Donna and Titans of Myth suck but I really wish they could do something with it so Donna can do more than be a weaker Diana.
>>153352850He forgets to use his powers. If I remember correctly, it hurts to use them.
>>153347971remember when two-face would do a good deed if his coin landed on the good side? shouldve been kept.
>>153353064He gets headaches from them, but they still completely dissappear from the story.
>>153353003It's not all on him, the whole concept of "modern" GL is kinda fucked in terms of presentation vs lore.
>>153353056>the starfield is an actual map of space and she's able to track people/navigate using itA more horny writer just might have a tight focus on her sensually trailing her hands over her body while doing so but luckily Marv Wolfman is not a creep like that.
>>153352283>Indigo and Orange strongly influence their wielders but not as much as Red and Violet.Indigo completely controls the wielders.My grain of sand for the thread is that Green Lanterns can go turn their suits and construct black for stealth; it doesn't have any implication regarding the Black Lanterns, it's just a visual feature. This was demonstrated during Johns' run, I think shortly after the switch to New52, when Sinestro was a Green again.
>>153352415His telekinesis has been used semi-recently, at least during Krakoa. But it was a lot stronger, he managed to destroy or damage a Nimrod with it during Inferno I recall. The power boost is justified by them establishing that Krakoan resurrection can in some cases also attune and gradually enhance mutant powers.
>>153352961The other 50% was on Mongul
>>153352873What is it you like about the nonsensical stuff? for me comics have always been the opposite, they're cool because they don't do thatexcept when they do.. then you roll your eyes a bit.
Here's a weird one. Deadpool has never really had "fast" regeneration in any mainline book.
>>153353346I guess I just miss the Silver age “anything goes” attitude towards storytelling, where things happened and powers existed because the writers thought it would be cool or interesting for the story. I guess a recent example of that kind of throwback would be Slott’s Spider-Boy stuff. I thought the way Puzzle Man was handled in issue 8 was rally fun and clever.Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy serious comics that do strictly enforce their own set of rules as well. I just like the variety in storytelling styles.
>>153347971Nightcrawler used to have the ability to camouflage himself in shadows, making him almost invisible.
>>153353518That one’s interesting because Claremont himself actually nerfed that ability in the Classic X-Men reprint of the issue it appeared in
>>153347971These are more trivia but whatever >Superman likes Metallica>Batman doesn’t know how to cook or do laundry>Wally is Linda’s second husband>Barbara and Jason Bard were actually engaged precrisis>Alan Scott and Obsidian like baseball, hate the Yankees, and like musicals>Guy Gardner used to be a teacher/social worker>Batman canonically shitposts on the internet to hide his identity>Dinah Lance isn't a natural blonde>Barry was the first leader of the JL>Swamp Thing has a daughter but Constantine was technically the biological father because Swamp Thing took over Constantine's body to conceive the child >Evil Raven crashing Dick and Kory's wedding was such a last minute change that a published Flash issue from around that time refers to them as husband and wife >Under Perez Hippolyta was supposed to be the reincarnation of the first neolithic woman killed by a man by Byrne's dumb ass had the neolithic woman be a different character>Geoff Johns’ first wife was a black woman and that’s why the Crimson Avenger he created and Peek-A-Boo in his JSA and Flash runs were black women
>>153353697>>Batman doesn’t know how to cook or do laundryThey seem to have dropped this aspect after Alfred's death.
>>153353743>grown man learns to do cook and do laundry once his parent is goneunrealistic

>>153353824>Perez's Starfire = partly Red Sonja, partly Perez's wife, partly a stripper Perez/Wolfman knew? (maybe a joke?)Starfire is based on Puerto Rican singer Iris Chacon
>>153353857No she's not.>"In real life, let’s see now… Koriand’r, she’s so many characters I’ve used: Marilyn Monroe, my first wife, oh gosh, there was a stripper somewhere, ….. . (Laughter.)

>>153347971Peter Parker is an incredibly skittish driver, due to never driving a car in his day to day lifeSee Marvel Team-Up #88 and Marvel Team-Up Annual #5
>>153347971I'm pretty sure Venom's camouflage was used again just recently, I remember seeing a page of it with some modern art but I don't remember which book
>>153352879The Parallax retcon is common knowledge if you know basic comic history.It exists specifically because going postal like that didn't make sense for Hal's character, even if it lead to a pretty interesting fallen story, most people don't like seeing their favorite characters just turn evil like that.
This. Carnage and Venom could send their symbiotes trough the internet and even travel trough the cyberspace.Pretty cool ability that was forgotten and never used again. Just imagine the possibilities.
>>153352314He can stick any part of his body to any surface. Because in the comics it works more like static electricity, not like the Raimi films where he's got little bristles. Sticking his mask to his face works, but I never got how he's able to easily stick to things (or not stick to things) through his clothes.But what always confuses me is the webbing, which had been described since early on in the comics as being like fast-drying rubber cement. So he shoots it, then grabs it to swing on it, and somehow the gloves aren't immediately glued to it too.
Rogues in the silver age and bronze age could do some crazy shit like Digger turning himself into a boomerang.
>>153354716And in the mid 80s Piper accidentally made a sentient musical note named the Blatt that followed him around like a puppy.
>>153347971
>>153354722and speaking of Piper, remember when DC retconned him as having the anti life equation this whole time and that's how he actually mind controls people?
>>153348912Its encouraging, but these worthless franchises still arent dying fast enough
>>153351097The fact that he had to use devices to channel it screwed him.But the non-omega effects were forgotten over time, high-father had the alpha bullets, Mark had his megaton and infinite man had his infinite force.
>>153347971Superman used to have "super intelligence" in the silver age instead of just being a regular guy.
>>153352283>>Indigo and Orange strongly influence their wielders but not as much as Red and VioletBoth enslave their bearers, originally Larfleeze didn't want his ring back once freed from it.
>>153352961>ET was at least 50% on the guardiansWell, they used to be able to depower green lanterns at will...
>>153354100
>>153353160>It's not all on him, the whole concept of "modern" GL is kinda fucked in terms of presentation vs loreHe never really fixed the damage from ET, in fact he calcified some of it.But modern GL already started messy, by shoehorning "Aladin as a superhero" in a "lensmen" mold.
>>153353697>>Guy Gardner used to be a teacher/social workerThis one was dropped because of the militarization of the corps
>>153354736I think he was once possessed by the Greek god Pan
>>153352879Mindbroke after seeing most of what he knew and loved destroyed but yeah.Has he ever done that random merging with the master power battery thing again?>>153354947Specifically a gym teacher, which actually explains his personality without resorting to brain damage.
>>153355182>Mindbroke after seeing most of what he knew and loved destroyed but yeah.He was grieving the normal way before the changes in the ET plans.
Isn't camouflage overpowered? It makes it seem like Venom should be able to kill opponents without them ever realizing anyone was there.
>>153354100To be honest its pretty fucking stupid, even for capecomics
>>153355390It is a worse invisibility, quick changes in the ambient screw with it, and he can't move too fast.
>>153352283I think for Orange, it's less a hard and fast rule that there can only be one, and more that the Orange Lantern's nature means if there ever was more than one, they'd inevitably end up trying to kill each other to hoard all the power for themselves.
>>153353003Orange was a bit more unique with its ability of enslaving souls, making its bearers more of summoners.But even Larfleeze's series sidelined it.
>>153353697>Alan Scott and Obsidian […] hate the YankeesStarting to wonder which superheroes don’t at this point. Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, and I think one of the original X-Men (Cyclops?) are huge Mets fans too.

>>153355566First time we ever saw an orange ring, it automatically killed the little alien guy that put it on.
>>153352826Apparently Blues power up everyone now.The reds being feral animals was dropped, Also reds replacing the heart thing vanished, and eventually everyone just started working exactly like Greens. fly and make constructs.
>>153353697>Alan Scott and Obsidian like baseball, hate the Yankees, and like musicalsIt would be a funny gag if they liked even more of the same things and had the same hobbies, considering how they mutually barely gave a fuck about each other until Todd flipped his shit and Alan promised to stop being an asshole.
>>153354823Yeah ET did not make sense when they have done things before like turning Sinestro's ring off and commanding Hal's ring to fly off his finger.Also in Mosaic no GL was capable of winning a fight with a Guardian. They were too powerful.
>>153352475The rainbow corps weren't really made to last.For example: Johns went clever with Larfleeze/orange (mysterious origins, one man corps, the avarice light can only be wielded a single person) which allowed him to skip the whole corps building.But it wasn't sustainable; they had to hard nerf Larfleeze, and the orange ended up really undeveloped.
>>153356420Yes, Johns never fixed ET, he didn't fix the Guardians, the power creep or the the obsolescence of the corps.
Does post-classic Torch ever do anything cool with his powers other than the occasional fire cage? Like this...
>>153357155...Or this?
FLASH FACTS: THE POST (NAMES EDITION)Cary Bates was notoriously bad at remembering names:>called Eobard Adrian>called Hartley Henry>called Hartley's mom Rachel and Hazel in the same fucking issue>called Patty Pam>called Roscoe Neyle>kept forgetting Barry's dad's nameInterestingly Sam Scudder was was originally called Joe in Flash #219 before being called Sam in Flash #246 and a DC calendar, both Flash issues having been written by Bates.Funnily enough, the same thing happened with McCulloch. He was given the first name Angus in an issue of Impulse 2-3 years before he was called Evan in a Flash Secrets and Origins issue.And ultimately Neyle and Joseph were then made to be Roscoe and Sam's middle names, making them the only rogues with a middle name until Johns made Hartley's middle name Robert.James Jesse had his name retconned to have actually been Giovanni Giuseppe with James Jesse being a fake name/stage name but pretty sure new 52/rebirth ignored that.Barry was originally short for Barrence. After Waid's request to name Bart Barry II was denied, he still wanted Bart to be named after Barry so Busiek suggested making Barry's first name Bartholomew, and they both laughed over how nobody but massive nerds would know that Barry's name was ever Barrence.I think Hartley was the last of the main Rogues to have had their name revealed.
>>153353697>>Superman likes MetallicaAnd his favorite album is And Justice For All.Wonder Woman was a metalhead during Azz's run, and would go to moshpits (very carefully, I imagine). Immediately after that run, the next writer ditched that and had her going clubbing and dancing EDM instead.>Swamp Thing has a daughter but Constantine was technically the biological father because Swamp Thing took over Constantine's body to conceive the child It's not really a detail that's been forgotten; Tefé was a huge part of Swampy's history, and central to several storylines under different writers. I don't recall her being a factor in the post Brightest Day and New 52 books, but she may have resurfaced in more recent Swampy books which I haven't read.
>>153357155>>153357165This part of his powers went to Susan
>>153353929I didn't know about it until I read Johns' run, and then it beats you over the head with it. It's part of the basis for his entire run and it sucks so much ass. It just doesn't work.
>>153353929>going postal like that didn't make sense for Hal's characterIf I recall correctly, before the retcon there was a theory it was because he was using a ring he got from a villain called Lord Malvolio. Specifically, Malvolio had a plot to get revenge on the GL by getting Hal to take and use his ring... but that's all we know about his plan. The story never paid off, and some readers connected the dots and thought maybe Malvolio's ring started corrupting Hal until he snapped.
>>153354264If his sticking powers are based on static, it would make sense that he can also use the static inversely to avoid getting stuck to something, which would explain your question about the webbing.But it breaks whenever someone grabs him and he doesn't use his powers to repel the grab and slip out, or when someone else uses webbing on him.
>>153356523Larfleeze's introduction was so great, he was truly scary. It was the combination of how they wrote him and drew him at the time. Huge, long-limbed, gangly, boar-faced creature, ravenously craving anything that caught his attention.Then they made him a mixture of Gollum and the Grinch, and in fact started drawing him exactly like the Grinch with brown fur.
>>153354264It was always explained that his pores work like tiny suction cups.I know he can apparently shoot different kinds of webbing, from fine strands to almost goo. Possibly there's a similar variation in the minute window of time in which it takes it to set.
>>153347971Wolverine actually has superhuman senses and is an excellent tracker. For some reason it's never brought up. He also had hot claws for a few weeks which was understandably forgotten for being retarded.
>>153357155>>153357165Last I remember it being mentioned that Johnny also happens to have the exact same powers as Pyro and can control any nearby fire to do whatever he wants including making it solid, was in the late 80s.
>>153357730Artists always made sure to draw Hal with the unique round style ring he got from Malvolio and kept it separate from the symbol shaped rings every other GL had up to his stomping it in #49. Also it was never really addressed why Malvolio had a knockoff of Alan's costume.
>>153358255I remember Wolverine sniffing stuff out was common back in the cartoon
>>153347971Weirdly I remember the PS1 era Spiderman game having him blend into the backgrounds and vanishing using his symbiote ability.https://youtu.be/IaE7PMWZ0hw?t=2209
>>153358255His superhuman senses are brought up constantly.I have asked this several times, and I have received answers, but for some reason my brain never stores them permanently:Why did he have hot claws and what happened with them?Also, a similar thing, Some time after AVX, I recall Cyclops' beams going out in "slashes" in multiple directions which he couldn't control, and Magneto's powers also being unstable; possibly Emma's too. Whatever happened with that?
>>15334797180s X-Factor introduced a lot of random things that vanished when the team was added right back to Jim Lee's X-Men and no explanation was given for any of it. >Warren had eagle eyes that could see in perfect detail for miles. He could spy on anyone from the sky.>Warren's metal wings are coated in poison that paralyzes anyone that gets even a tiny scratch>Beast by the end of the series had his strength amped up to class 80 levels>Cyclops could see in various light spectrums and perfectly see things in infrared light and in complete darkness>Bobby is actually insanely powerful to the point of being able to freeze half the planet. He wears inhibitor belts to keep his powers normal and under control>Telepathy was not one of Jean's actual abilities, that was all Phoenix posing as her >>153358255It's more like there was no point to the hot claws. They already slice through everything without trouble. Heat really adds nothing for him.
>>153347971Hulk actually doesn't actually have any super durability. He just has insanely fast super regeneration that it looks like he can tank any hit from anyone and never gets hurt.
The genetic council and the fact that the Inhumans aren't absolute monarchy.
>>153358637>Warren had eagle eyes that could see in perfect detail for miles. He could spy on anyone from the sky.This was introduced by Claremont, can’t remember when but I remember it showing up in Marvel Fanfare #1 for sure. Might have cropped up earlier too.
>>153358422>Also it was never really addressed why Malvolio had a knockoff of Alan's costumeMaybe he was the earth 1 counter part, Johnny thunder's earth 1 version was also a villain.
>>153358637>>Cyclops could see in various light spectrums and perfectly see things in infrared light and in complete darknessMakes sense, since as a leader, he should have some intel prowess.Otherwise his powers are too artillery focused.
>>153358584>I have asked this several times, and I have received answers, but for some reason my brain never stores them permanently:>Why did he have hot claws and what happened with them?Wolverine had been killed off for awhile by being covered in adamantium. Then he got brought back to life by a new character called Persephone. Then he just had hot claws. There was no explanation for it. It was just bad writing. The half assed explanation as to why this got dropped was that he was still healing from being dead when he had hot claws and when and got better the hot claws went away. Oh also when his claws were hot he couldn't heal. Because it needed to be even dumber.
>>153353352What?
>>153359139To be fair Inhumans deserve to he forgotten altogether. They somehow manage to be even worse conceptually than Eternals. The latter could at least be a cool story outside the Marvel universe. The Inhumans are just dry Atlanteans.
>>153353929I'd rather have Hal going sicko mode than a big space bug no one ever mentioned before causing it. But that's just me
>>153360144Sometimes I wonder how Black Bolt would fare if he was never tangled with them.
>two stories where Metropolis gets nuked>Superman goes crazy in both"woah so cool!">one story where Coast City gets nuked>Hal goes crazy"NO THIS ISN'T HIS FAULT THE SPACE BUG DID IT SHUT UP"
>>153360232Yeah, the retcon didn't work for me. The whole thing is retarded.
>>153353697>>Superman likes MetallicaAnd Batman hates rock n roll.
>>153352873>>153348912ah who cares, we all know when this site or the internet ends it just reboots and plays out the same while we argue about whether pre-crash or post-crash boxxy was hotter
>>153360462My favorite theory is that the yellow space bug is something Hal retconed in during zero hour.
>>153357169>BarrenceI can't believe this is a real name
>>153362498See Basil, some characters are so old that they names were removed from the public consciousness.
>>153360035His healing factor never fully recovered during the Joe Kelly run
>>153358584>Also, a similar thing, Some time after AVX, I recall Cyclops' beams going out in "slashes" in multiple directions which he couldn't control, and Magneto's powers also being unstable; possibly Emma's too. Whatever happened with that?Something about Dark Beast evil nanites I think, Bendis was just making shit up none of it mattered.
>>153352283>>There can only be a single active Orange Lantern, everyone else is killed when putting on a ringthis doesn't exist anymore? the only time i can remember the rule being broken was in Blackest Night with Luthor, but that was an extreme situation
>>153365963Nah, it's still the case right now with Larfleeze.
>>153353697Batman doesn't know much about popular culture, usually deeming it as unneeded distractions from his ongoing crusade on crime. He does, however, know enough about Sailor Moon to recognize Martian Manhunter through one of his disguises based on the name he picked.
>>153357169I really like how the Flash franchise is filled with uncommon or outright shitty names.>Bartholomew>Wallace>Leonard>Hartley>Roscoe>Eobard>Thaddeus>Owen>Axel>Amunet >Frances>Patty>Giovanni (probably super common in Italy tho)I kinda want Evan's name to go back Angus so he can fit in.
