Thanks. Weird. I was positive that was Carol in a Ms. Marvel costume. Guess Cassie Lang wore a similar one (looking at it again, I can see the indications of an Ant-Man costume).

D-Man threw me because it looked like Wolverine wearing an old Daredevil costume.

Could someone please give Echo and D-Man a hug (and possibly a shower for Dunphy) before horrible crap happens to them?

Yep, that's D-Man's costume. It's a weird mash-up of the two. It's part of his charm.

The point of the scene was to highlight a bunch of odd characters, so it's not surprising that so many wouldn't be recognizable. I only know Sepulchre because she says her name, and I had to look on the Marvel Wikia to figure out Trapster and Devlor.

Edit: You mean like getting brainwashed into a new Scourge, and getting shot and killed? Because that already happened.

Its kind of funny that Squirrel Girl has the exact same motive as Cassie. She's just smart enough not to actually say it.

So Trapster was a hero at some point?

'Tis what I meant.

Nope! I have no idea why the Trapster would've applied.

Skimmed over the second issue of Deadpool vs Carnage. Wade takes a page out of Saints Row and uses weaponized dubstep against Cletus. Sadly, it was a belt set-up instead of a gun.

Well he is the villain dumb enough to choose the name Paste Pot Pete, so I wouldn't put anything past him.

I kinda want him to go back to Paste Pot Pete. Including the stupid outfit. Or at least have every other character only ever refer to him as Paste Pot Pete.

At the very least, I'd love a storyline where he ended up forced to use his original Paste Pot Pete outfit.

But due to the laws of Modern Comics, everyone calling him Paste Pot Pete would drive him crazy, and he'd kill people/rape someone, and become DARK AND SERIOUS AND A THREAT.

And then never matter after the initial event.

Methinks that's a bit of an exaggeration. The whole Dr. Light thing doesn't seem to be nearly as common as people say it is.

Looking at that babysitting panel pages: Deadpool looks pissed to be there; it's kind of scary. Also, I feel really bad for D-man.

It would drive him crazy, but it would be played for comedy. He's long been something of a joke. He sometimes gets a chance to show that he actually is pretty competent, that he's a genius in his own right, but at the end of the day, he's still the guy who used to call himself Paste Pot Pete. It doesn't matter how he tries to reinvent himself, he's still the guy who tries to defeat people through the power of glue.

Trapster will never be a serious character. He'll never be dark and edgy. The best he can hope for is a writer deciding to treat him with respect by letting him win a fight. Actually, Daniel Way kinda did that in Deadpool, by having Trapster actually defeat Deadpool, though that was mostly done to show how far Deadpool had fallen by losing his healing factor.

I don't think Deadpool was meant to be angry. I think it was meant as a, "Yeah, I think we both know this isn't going to work."

But everybody does call Trapster Paste-Pot Pete. They wont let him forget. ever

He usually seems to get called Trapster, with only a couple characters calling him Paste Pot Pete. I want every character to call him that. Even the villains he works with. Like the Fearsome Four get back together, and they just keeping calling him Paste Pot Pete.

Oh noes!!!111!!◊

Y'know, I think Remender has achieved the feat of attempting to create so much tension for his story that it goes right back around and the end result is no tension.

Still liked the issue

Oh hey, it's the Watcher...Again. That guy has been making a lot of rounds before he dies, isn't he?

You know, that picture, taken entirely out of context, is for some reason just freaking hilarious.

The Space Whale Aesop is pretty funny: Racism will cause giant men from space to blow up the Earth! I get that it's a metaphor for how humanity's petty squabbles keep us from achieving out full potential, but geez, Rick, anvils the size of, well, Exitar the Executioner over here...

Glad to see I'm not the only one who wants to give D-Man a hug. I think that spread is funny for the most part (hey, Beverly Switzler! And Nighthawk!), and I know that D-Man's obscurity and loneliness is supposed to be Played for Laughs...but it's just heartbreaking to me. And finding out what happened to him later doesn't help.

"Does Captain America ever talk about me?" Hahahahaha no. D-Man, do you have any idea how many sidekicks/partners that guy has had? You were just the flavor of the week. Oh, did he tell you he knew you were destined to be a great hero? I'ma let you in on a little secret: he says that to everybody.

And the Trapster? Really? In regards to the Paste Pot Pete thing, everyone does call him Paste Pot Pete, especially Spidey and the Human Torch. It's kind of his Berserk Button. I love that he hears Spider-Man's on the team and just leaves, like he knows Spidey would make his time at that mansion a living hell.

Just finished the Avengers: Absolute Vision volume 2 trade. Hell of a climax. It felt like Roger Stern was frustrated by the obtuse morality at play in the Michael Korvac arc, and did it far, far better with the Vision. The emotional impact of the Vision's scheme being unveiled was stunning.

Oh, and thanks to this trade, I finally understand the Eternals. I still don't care, but I understand.

I just got back from Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Good movie. I still think Scarlett Johansson's a bad actor. I also kinda dislike that they established Black Widow as being only a year older than I am. I kinda liked her being a lot older than she looks. Falcon was cool. So now I can get caught up on the last couple episodes of Agents of SHIELD.

I also almost got myself a ticket on my way home. I had to take the bus, and there was a transfer, and I had to get to the other side of the street, and I was supposed to go above, but I just cut across the street. The cop left me off with a warning. I felt very grateful.
