Comic Book Questions

Hush, Long Halloween, Dark Victory, and Batman R.I.P spring to mind.

They showcase Batman's deductive skills and his mental fortitude over him just beating people up, though he does plenty of that as well.

Tower of Babel, as well.

The JLA arc? Are you referring to Batman's ability to find weaknesses?

Does anyone know why Wonder Woman will never stuff her hair in her cleavage to stop it from moving by gusts of wind.

Are there any pictures of Captain Cold without his outfit and without any form of Glasses??

Doesn't he look way younger and lame in that?

There were some during Geoff Johns' run on the Wally book, iirc. Lemme have a look...

I thought I recalled him at a Hockey Game in regular attire. But I don't remember if he had Glasses or not.

I recall someone on here saying that Swamp Thing said that Killer Croc belonged in the swamplands instead of a prison. Is he really that animalistic? I was always under the impression that he still had a mostly human mind

Was silver surfer depowered when he was hit by sonic shark? I recall him being drained completely multiple times after that.

What are some of Captain Americas greatest losses on raw skill?

Usually, whenever he has trouble he's blatantly overpowered, outnumbered, or there's some other extenuating circumstance, but I can't think of too many times where Cap has been overmatched in h2h skill. (Think about how Spidey lost to Black Tarantula twice in a row, establishing he was simply outclassed against this one character..)

Bonus points if you can name examples that aren't mere one offs that never, ever happened again against from the same character (Characters who have his number, basically, or who he at least has multiple losses from..)

Vs. Moondragon, vs. Kingpin...

Really, Moondragon?

Interesting.. I know she's highly skilled, but Marvel tends to be protective of Cap against lower tier characters.

Kingpin, I've seen, and imo that was a loss on raw power and not skill. Kingpin basically tanked all of his attacks, and steamrolled him.

Posted recently in the Character Ownage thread. SSS was wearing off though and Moondragon is superhuman or at least can amp herself to higher physical levels, if I'm not mistaken.

Steve hit him only once.

There were some characters that were unaffected (at least officially) by COIE like Spectre and Darkseid, did they keep their memories/powers through the new reboot too or are they rebooted as well? I don't know if the Spectre has appeared since the reboot but I know Darkseid did, is there any hint that he's the same being as the old Darkseid or a new one?

His only physical appearance so far has been his brief fight with the JLA. He did not do a lot of talking about Flashpoint.

I'm sure it'll come up at least a few times in the upcoming Trinity War. Not sure in what context though.

Vs human form Mantis twice I think.

But...

When Moondragon fought him he was losing the SSS powers. Don't know exactly what level that put him, either towards regular human or even towards pre-SSS-Rogers level. Also Cap had been hypnotized by a government agent into fighting the IW so was under mind control. Moondragon wasn't physically amped though, and wasn't using her mind powers.

First time against Mantis he was KO'd but it may have been by surprise. Second time in a straight fight he was getting beaten and she said she was about to snap his spine when Vision intervened. But I think this Mantis was retconned into a brainwashed Space Phantom or something.

Vs Kingpin he was roughed up.

Thinking of getting into a comic series this summer, I decided on Iron Man.

Is there a current Iron Man series going on or am I going to have to find some older series to get? If so, which is the best for a shitposter like me?

^Lost eh?
