KMC Forums - Mythical scans

Comic continuity is complicated, especially Marvel and DC. In many cases, you have characters that have been around for decades, with literally thousands of appearances. Even if you think that you have read everything about a character, there's always the chance that they appeared in some obscure crossover or cameo that you don't know about.

At the same time, people love to make up and spread rumors. In my nearly 20 years of reading and posting on comic book forums (especially 'vs' sections), I have heard countless legends and tall tales of feats and scans that supposedly exist, yet I have never seen. I suspect you all have had similar experiences.

Surely a lot of these are pure fabrication, but sometimes there is a grain of truth to them.

In this thread, post examples of these mythical feats and scans, ones you have heard of but never actually seen. Then, if anyone else knows what you're talking about, they can comment on it, or even perhaps post the scan (if it really exists).

I know this is sort of similar to the comic book mythbuster thread, but I figured a thread for this more specific topic would be a good idea.

I'll start with two:

- Firstly, Lobo's famous feat of lifting and throwing a box that contained the weight of the entire universe. I know people who have gone through a lot of comics looking for this, and come up empty. Personally, I don't believe it exists, but feel free to prove me wrong on that.

- I once heard that, in a Marvel/Doctor Who reference/crossover, someone used a Time Lord device (stated to be from Gallifrey) to try to banish/defeat Galactus, but it didn't work, and he said something about having encountered such technology before and prepared for it. Sounds far-fetched, but Marvel did publish Doctor Who comics and did crossovers, and it's even been referenced in the Fantastic Four that Reed knows the Doctor. So I suppose it's possible.

Post any of your own such rumors too, or comment on mine.
