Its a favt that that's a rumor yeah. 😆

.

Fact: This is a really cheesy pun.

On DC Earth, Gotham City is located in New Jersey.

Midvale and Metropolis are in Delaware.

Alternate, slightly clearer view of the above.
Taken from the so-called "mod" era of Wonder Woman, if memory serves.

In the DC comics, Keystone City is located in Kansas, across the Missouri River from Central City, Missouri.

Not sure how little known this is: Kirby came up with the silver Surfer idea because 1) surfing songs, via the Beach Boys, were popular at the time; and 2) he was tired of drawing spaceships.

I'd heard the song part, not the spaceship part.

Black Canary is, apparently, a better Chess Player than Hal Jordan:

Nods to DS for this one, from Leon’s Quicksilver Vs Nightcrawler thread.
Quicksilver can sense teleporters:

Longshot has hollow bones:

Silver Surfer is a soulless abomination:

The power cosmic EATS YOUR SOUL, and replaces it.

Considering immortal souls are a real thing in Marvel comics, that's pretty much the worst news ever for Surfer. It means he's no more Norrin Radd then Swamp Thing is Alec Holland. Except, Alec's soul is bumming around the afterlife, while Norris's was eaten by a soul parasite.

Huh!
So Mephisto was wasting his time back in the early days.

Yep. 🙂

They're bad for his health anyways, going by Panthers strategy:

Meph even shouted "THIS MANY PURE SOULS WILL DESTROY ME!"

So I guess pure souls are bacon strips? Eat a few, you're in heaven, eat a pack and visit the ER?

Besides being a formidable combatant, with or without powers, Storm possesses the sometimes useful skills of a master thief:

Good one.
Thats how she and Xavier originally met. She stole, or tried to steal, his wallet. Been a while, cant recall if she was successful.

Black Canary can suck a nut.

In the minds of today's DC writers, she probably does.

Oliver Queen's, to be exact.

But she still apparently plays chess better than Hal Jordan.

Did some searching after you wrote this.

Marvel ultimately DID present that as Storm's backstory, but it would take a little while. The first published meeting of these two took place in a very different setting than the streets of Cairo, Egypt:

You watch Arrow?

Little known facts about Iron Fist:

His fist isn't just a megaton punch. He's used it to crush a handgun to pieces. He could probably do the same to Spidey's fist.

He has several examples of defeating Luke Cage level characters and up without an Iron Fist.

Chi amping and the Iron Fist amping are often treated as different things.

The Immoral Iron Fist series established Danny actually taps into the dragons chi, as a stream taps into the ocean.

The dragons has driven off full Phoenix Force.

Yet Danny could not handle Phoenix Five Scott.
