When I went to the Marvel Superheroes Science Exhibit, I saw some blown-up art from all the eras. They included the black-cover Spider Man issue from 2001, dealing with the World Trade Center Attack. Seeing villains like Doctor Doom shedding a tear at the damage, working with the likes of Kingpin and Doctor Octopus to help the victims...
It makes me think, even years later, how this sticks in the minds of all these writers & artists who are mostly New York-based.The conclusion of IC and the beginning of 52, Black Adam confronts Power Girl with the exact number of people who died in the last crisis, down to the last person. This to enforce his view that heroes need to go to greater lengths to keep the world in order.
The decision to exile the Hulk from Earth by the Illuminati - Brian Michael Bendis would retcon the idea that the Hulk has never inadventantly killed someone in his rampaging days. To avoid the potential of further death, Hulk is sent away.
Look at the collateral damage that sparks the beginning of CIVIL WAR. Even the mutant community in the 1980's didn't go through this kind of hand-wringing & fighting over mutant registration. Because death seemed less real then, and not in America?
There are other examples out there, in the last five years.
That issue of ASM was actually really good
Except of course for that stupid part where the villains show up and cry. I mean I know it was a very dramatic time in the country, but the day Doom sheds a tear for anyone, none the less someone he doesn't even know is the day that Wolverine kills Galactus

I know. Any other time, you wouldn't see Doom feeling sorry for America for any reason.

well louis died in the twin towers right, so i would say that effected superman eh?
i assume you mean lois right? some guy named louis? not so much... 😛
and if superman had been there, even the planes hitting the towers would have been an achievement (for the terrorists i mean), and loss of life would have been a bare minimum... hell, he'd have even stopped them from collapsing too...
The biggest impact from 9/11 I have seen is the fact that every TV show which included the twin towers is no longer aired, for example if anyone remembers the episode of "The Simpsons" where they go to New York and Homer actually goes into the twin towers etc, That episode hasn't been on TV since 9/11.
I understand it was a bad time etc but it annoys me that the twin towers are cut from everything in case someone see's them on TV and thinks people are being insensitive or whatever, hell they even erased them from the Spider-man movie in the background, its not like half of these media pieces showed a plane flying into them now is it. Then again I think this is all more to do with censoring than anything else, and now the twin towers are apart of that...

Some have presumably heard/seen if before, others are just inquisitive 😬Curiosity gets the better of many a man.
I didn't need to on this one though, because of the random perverts (Trickster) on this board, have already explained it...
Turns out he thought it meant that Apoc was dressed up as girl...
