Re: Jab's Builds! (Eric! Code Blue! Zarrko! Dargo Ktor! Sif!)

Mongoose is an odd fit in Thor's rogue's gallery at any time post-1970. But I think he was a deliberate call-back to Cobra, who like Mr. Hyde, was one of the first supervillains that Thor ever fought. Animal-theme, fast and wily, but clearly no match for Thor in a straight-up fight. That sounds like...

Re: Jab's Builds! (Thor Builds! The Executioner! Enchantress! Lorelei!)

Which is a shame, because they're basically a super-powered version of the Three Musketeers, as portrayed by Errol Flynn, Charles Bronson, and John Candy. The Warriors Three are quite literally the Three Musketeers, like 1:1 correlation. Hogan isn't drunk because this is a kid's comic (or was), but...

Re: Sidious' FASERIP Builds: It begins!

I'm fuzzy on my FASERIP, but I think Barda should be a little stronger and a little better at fighting. I'm trying to remember, Thing had Monstrous/75 strength, maybe? Barda should be at least Thing class, although DC's scale is vastly different from Marvel's. Still, she's at least comparable (in th...

Re: Thorbuilds

So yeah. A brief guide to some Shakespearean English if you want to write Thor fanfiction at some point and don't want to wind up butchering the language too much. My theory is that Stan and Jack probably read or were familiar with H. Rider Haggard's novel, Erik Brighteyes , which features a blond ...

Re: Thorbuilds

-Frickin' Thor. Basically created to be Marvel's answer to Superman (some historical reports have said as much, others play coy), but with a mythological, magical bent, Thor's been all over the place, but has consistently been well-portrayed. That's thanks to the loving hands of several creators- J...

Re: Crazy Eight

-Alas, there's nothing really stat-able here, but she's presumably a decent sword-fighter. I'm not sure how she'd put up any kind of a fight against WONDER MAN, of course. I still find it odd that she's being executed for murder in a world where super-villains do that ALL THE TIME. Don't crazy tigh...
