I have to say that I’m a little surprised.
Not surprised that Steve Rogers has returned from the dead, but that he chose this sexy chainmaille look for his comeback photo. Rawr.
I hope that he’ll consider some sort of security detail. Crossbones, the Red Skull…this guy obviously attracts the attention of some pretty heavy dudes who like to pretend they’re named after pirates.
Captain America is back, Superman is back, the return of Jesus can’t be far behind. Oh wait, Superman thinks he’s Jesus.
The blogosphere nearly imploded when Superman actually acknowledged the existence of Aquaman on his blog (titled simply, “S”). It seems that a tweet surfaced in which Aquaman called Superman a douche. While we wish the term ‘douche’ would be shelved along with any other expression borne of Long Island vernacular (see: “retarded”), it was kinda funny.
This is what Supes had to say:
“I’m sure that this is not THE REAL Aquaman’s Twitter (emphasis his). I know this guy, I know his heart (emphasis ours). He’s a class act and he hasn’t let the fact that he has no real purpose (because since when has there been an underwater emergency?) get in the way of justice. For dolphins.”
Well. Ok.
Was that supposed to be some sort of compliment? Does anyone know if Superman writes his own blog? btw, I hate the way he signs his posts ‘Kal-El.’ Get over yourself. You’re not Jewish.
“If you live long enough to see yourself become the villain….someone should have killed you a long time ago.”-Tony Stark
Tony Stark appears at first a loud, arrogant, good time type of character and well, that’s exactly what he is. When we sat down with the man claiming to be Iron Man we asked him why some super heroes choose to remain behind the mask.
“It’s simple really. It’s fear. You fear what people are going to think of you, you fear for your family, your friends,” Tony pauses here to take a long sip of what appears to be scotch.
“But most of all, you fear yourself.”
Wise words from a wise man, no doubt. When asked about another rich bachelor rumoured to be doning the cape and mask, Mr. Stark had this to say;
“Look I’m not pretending I know what the deal is, what Bruce, sorry Mr. Wayne does on his own time in his business. But you have to wonder what a rich man who is single does with all that money.
You can only buy so many cars…and hookers.”
Mr. Stark orders a mixed drink with a wink and a smile from the attractive waitress at the Beverly Hills Hotel. He seems reflective for a moment.
“If you live long enough to see yourself become the villain….someone should have killed you a long time ago.” Mr. Stark laughs.
“I’ll drink to that.” He toasts himself.
