Just a random question for today. Let's say you're a criminal in real-life. Which super hero would make you be scared the most when he or she arrived?
My initial thoughts would either be:
-Punisher - B/c you know the guy is absolutely nuts and basically won't stop until you're dead
-Hulk - I think the sight of the green monstrosity about to smash me would make me crap in my pants.

Batman can make you crap in your pants.

Punisher, obviously. Frank Castle will strap you to a chair light you on fire and video tape it. He's pretty tough on crime apparently.
Galactus would be bad for eveyone. Lowly criminal and everyman alike.
jaflanagan
03-01-2007, 08:31 PM
I think I missed the fact that you had to be a criminal.
Either way, I stand by my choice, because no matter what shit you were up to, Galactus showing up, that's no good.

the pink works for me because it looks like a graphic you'd see on a horrible tourist town t-shirt and pink is usually HUGE with those
you know what I'm talking about? Like the stores that sell 3/$10 pink(or other horrid color) shirts with Garfield on them and simply the name of the town

The completely generic shirts that are sold at stands/airports?
Yea, my Mom loves em. Much to my dismay.
In the city last weekend, I walked by a lot of stores that seemed to only sell shit. There were a bunch that were selling I heart NY t-shirts 7/$10.
OK, who needs 7? And how do you make them that cheaply? Are these shirts stolen off of homeless murder victims? jeez

Gert rules. But I'd rather her stay dead, at least for a good while. I mean, we know (do we really know) she comes back, but I'm so tired people coming back from the dead. After the debacle that was 'The Return' , I'd really rather all dead peeps stay that way.

yeah cause at first i could've done without Chase but he's grown as a character. He actually has a story. I'm telling you thats why Runaways rocks.

he was drawn and written badly

Totally agree. I thought there's a lot of meat in the main character struggling with his faith. I guess though, I would make the same comparison with The Walking Dead, where a lot of readers could just dismiss it as a zombie book, people might not pick it up just b/c of the backdrop.

I don't know about that. Herr Star from Preacher, especially towards the end, scared the bejesus out of me. I mean the guy had one leg, one arm, a sink faucent where his unit used to be and his head was cut to resemble a penis. If that's not a scary image, I don't know what is.

his degredation from cold and calculated genius to comic relief/psychopath was amazing! i couldn't beleive what ennis did to that guy, you felt sorry for him and hated him at the same time.

I hate to be a tool, but I find the staging of this thread a little awkward. It wants be to cast myself in role of a "real-life" criminal that has been placed in position of having to confront a "fantasy" superhero.
Well, if I was a real-life criminal, I'd really hate for the "super-hero" NYPD or USMC to show up and kick my ass.
If I'm a criminal cast in a fantasy role. I'd hate for any super-hero to show up, but I'd hope the author of the fantasy had to dramatic sense to write me some super-powers of my own. This just makes it a better story. I'd hate for my story to suck.

The best attacks are the ones you never see coming: I think Batman owes much of his almost 70 year life in comics to that. And real criminals are always scared sh**less by the knock on the door they aren't expecting followed by a police team in full SWAT gear.
Comic book battles can get pretty hackneyed and corny, with FF #536-537 ("The Hammer Falls") being exhibit A, oh my gawd I can't believe I actually had to pay for that trash to get the brilliant BMS/Maldeev first Illuminati story that was included in the trade.
The Deathstroke battle in "Identity Crisis" is on the other end of the scale -- absolutely textbook wonderful on how to do a comic battle scene. Great choreography and lots of little unexpected twists but still keeping up a fluid and brisk pace.
And not to rub it in or anything (oh what the heck, why not) but on the theme of "the attack you never saw coming" I'm sure Agent 13 proved herself useful in that regard...
