agreed. frankly i find it oddly astounding that marvel has managed to keep rocket relevant all these years. i read his 4 issue miniseries(circa 1985) not too long ago, and it was complete garbage lol.

also, i'd like to thank delph for actually spending the time to dig up some good rocket showings. 👆

that was hilarious when he took down jakita. 😂 i actually enjoyed that book quite a bit. better than terra occulta. planetary is still one of my all time fave books. 👆

and yeah, glad this topic was opened. allowed rocket to get a little spotlight.

The old Adam West Batman show (and feature film) were amazing. Pure comedy in retrospect. I downloaded them all on a torrent. I actually never realized that Mr. Freeze made an appearance on the old show (he was inexplicably a Russian gangster though). It's classic campiness.

I found it trying too hard to be campy. And on Mr. Freeze, I read this is actually where the name came from. That Batman's villain in the comics was Mr. Zero, the show made it "Mr. Freeze," and DC liked it and changed it to that.

I'd say:

Gauss Cannon
Rocket Pack
Plasma Blaster (on hip)
Grenades/Charges (say, 8 total)

That's what he usually has (or a high end plasma rifle instead of the cannon). Rocket is trigger happy so when the opening bell tolls he's very likely to just start blasting. I see him just going Death Blossom (for a Last Star Fighter reference) with the cannon and eventually tagging Batman, or near him, since there's no cover. With the starting distance and open battlefield Rocket can start cutting loose at go.

not too far from what i suggested. 👆

Interesting, didn't know that about Mr. Freeze. Actually glad they changed it.

I remember as a kid (80s) I used to watch the old Batman reruns on TBS after watching Cartoon Express on USA. Nothing like watching Shirt Tales, Space Ghost, Go Bots, Lost In Space, and then Batman back to back when you're 6-9 years old. Everyone went around making the sound effects when we were punching and kicking at eachother. It was either the Batman "Boom" "Bam" "Pow" "Kersplat" or the Bruce Lee "Waaaahhhh!!!!"

Now looking back at age 34 I think kids nowadays seriously miss out.

Dude, funny you said that. I just spoke with a coworker who is 32 this morning about cartoons, kids shows and television from our respective eras. I showed him some intro clips of Thundaar the Barbarian, the Herculoids and Blackstar and he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

Man, those shows were amazing. Hanna-Barbara had action cartoons on lock in the 70s and early 80s. They pretty much just saturated the market with product. Herculoids, Space Ghost, Thundarr, Johnny Quest, Teen Force, Gobots, etc. Hell, even Papa Bears, The Biskits, Munchichis, Hong Kong Fuey, etc. I'd sit at the TV and zone out for a solid 4-5 hours straight watching cartoons and then Lost In Space and Batman and Mom and Pops didn't have to worry about me getting into anything I wasn't supposed to. I miss those days. I'd take hours of cartoons over rent, bills, and crazy relationships any day, lol.

Can't forget Turbo Teen and Mr. T too. 😆

LOL!! The same mofo I was talking about kept bringing up that Mr. T. cartoon!! He was freaking obsessed with it! 😂

Any cartoon that has a pitbull with a mohawk as a main character is an instant classic to forever be cherished.

I adore my memories of watching the old BATMAN show. That's why I stopped watching the reruns on IFC, it was ruining them.

And yeah, so many cartoons that were awesome back then. There a lot I didn't see when they were on from the 70 and 80's, but rented videos of them or later saw reruns.
