You know you're a comic book geek when you know a lot about comics.

I want a dead aliens power ring.

I actually designed a character to take advatange of the real world effects of his powers.

Basicly the idea was to take advatage of how thw world should react to superhuman powers in order to make the guy more dangerous.

For example when the Flash and most other speedsters move at high speeds they have some mutation or force that prevents them from wrecking everything around them. If you remove that completely and merely make a character that won't die from moving a high Mach speeds you end up with a person who can cripple an army just by walking by. Comic books also tend to ignore what a thunderclap should do to a person especially if you wave your hand past thier ear at Mach5.

Obviously the Flash and other speedsters are capable of these feats but in this case to focus is on how useful the collatoral effects are and not the speed power itself.

You know when you're a comic book geek when....

...you buy different action figures from DC Direct. Then you get a video camera and start making your own Justice League Movie. Then load the video to Youtube.com.

(Coming soon sometime in 2008 by WD Productions)

Story 1:
My mom was shocked when she heard about Cap in the news...

...then more shocked when I already knew about it, AND what the next issue is about (the autopsy). I was like, "Mom. It's me. If you know something about comics, I knew it last week."

Story 2:
I only have 1 friend that will watch any Justice League episode with me. He likes hearing about power levels, continuity, and other random sh*t. Everyone else just gets annoyed...


Also, good thread.

Its an interesting phenomenon actually.

If people have no expose to superman at all they assume he's unbeatable. If they watch animated versions they think he's a punk (Goku vs Superman anyone?)

--You pick up issues after saying you dislike the writer and the story altogether.

--You start noticing all of the times you run into the number 52.

--When someone says "He's a dick", you immediately think of Tony Stark.

--You find yourself amused by threads like this and decide to participate.

When you call the heros/villians by their real names

You know you're a comic book geek when you get fed up of listening to your friends rambling at the battle of Marathon being after the events of 300, because you've already ready the Frank Miller series and know that Dilios told the soldiers the story of Marathon to cheer them up.

You also know you're a comic book geek when you realise you care more about the fact you're missing the Spiderman 3 trailer than the fact your friend knows aboslutely nothing about potentially the most important battle ever.

I knew I was a comic geek when my friend mentioned Batman and Robin and i said "Which Robin, the cool one who became Nightwing, the one who died and came back, the latest one or the girl who died."

After he gave me a funny look I decided not to mention the one from the Dark Knight Returns

Gotta love Jeff Albertson...uh oh...tack "Simpsons Geek" onto my record.

When you assault your friends for removing rare comics from their board'n'bags.

When you get excessively angry at people critiquing movies like X-Men and Spider-man on what they call 'comic knowledge', that is really nothing more than the early 90s cartoons.

When you quote comic characters in regular conversation.

. . .you respond to this thread.

When you describe a friends personality based on those of comic characters.

you know you're a comic book geek when you know that in Xmen TAS they reused the same cels in episode 6 and 63 when they showed sabretooth going on a rampage in the streets and was actually strong enuff to bench press a car over his head and throw it a hundred feet in the air at a news helicopter...then in 63 he did the same thing but he was possessed by the phalanx and they interspersed the old footage with him phalanx covered

when you tell people stan lee is your hero.

When you watch Stan Lee on the premiere of Identity with your uncle and grandmother and want to ***** slap the hoe on TV that had to use a life line to guess who he was.

Then only my uncle knew and he said that was only because he knew Spiderman was really old and Stan Lee was the only guy old enough to have made him.

I went on a hell of a rant that day!

I thought I was the only one. Anyone notice during the Phoenix saga, the artist drew Wolverine with six claws on one hand. The worst mistake I can remember was the episode with Apocalypse. They actually had Professor X walking for two scenes and then he appeared in a wheel chair three scenes later.

I think you're talking about Beyond Good & Evil part 4.

At the end, Xavier is standing next Magneto and talking to him. Although he's not in a wheel chair later three scenes later, as the episode ends with Cable.

I have a friend who doesn't read comics but loves the Green Lantern, and she knows I enter tourneys. She always tells me to pick GL (she thinks there's only 1) because "all he needs is willpower and he can beat anyone". I don't have the heart to tell her it isn't that simple.

She's also convinced they have highlevel matter manipulation skills, both on themselves and others. I corrected her, but she refuses to believe me and thinks that, say, Kyle could just turn himself into a teapot if he wanted to.

you know you're a comic book geek when you can relate actual events in your life to issues of comics...

i actually said to a friend one day re: a girl i know "she's my madeline pryor..."

and he got the reference...

She's your dead ex-girlfriend's second clone?

Wow, you must live some life

Originally posted by llagrok

no... to make a long story slightly less long: in school i met a girl who i was crazy about, then we fought and never spoke again, and she went off to college, and i moved, then i start job about 8 months back, and meet this girl who looks so much like her i thought it was the original girl when we first met...

newer girl: exactly the way i wish the original one was... she even admitted she wanted me, but belonged to someone else...

how many parallels can you get from that?

Did you scream the first girlfriend's name when making love to the "clone" ?
