RETARDED

  - There doesn't seem to be anybody in their building capable of implementing the laugh test. Otherwise, Aquaman wouldn't be getting relaunched. -- nm - David Jun 2, 10:01 6
    - He is still a founding member of the JL. They dumped Martian Manhunter, which is stupid. -- nm - Spawn Jun 2, 10:05 3

        That is my point. If they are dumping one of the telepaths, keep the cool one, not fish boy. -- nm - Spawn Jun 2, 10:08

    - I might be one of the few, who like Aquaman, just not a great superhero in todays world. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 2, 10:02
Dude, it could be worse. - Spawn Jun 2, 09:51 2
- is Marvel's Cap'n Marvel the real Cap'n Marvel? Was he first? either way, it's lame. -- nm - mud Jun 2, 09:53

  - '60s, I think. pretty sure they were a stan lee thing. -- nm - mafic Jun 2, 09:55 1
    - it is like they are their own Wayans Brothers movie. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 2, 09:58
  - and regardless of who ripped off who, it's dumb. - Kim Pine Jun 2, 09:54 12
    - Quite honestly, one of the reasons I gravitated to Marvel over DC when reading comics as a youth was too many DC heros were named ______-man. - musubi Jun 2, 10:31

    - I just created a character named Solid Choice. - David Jun 2, 09:56 3 1
      - Too fancy. DC would demand he be named "Vote-Man" or "Mr. Democracy". (nm) - musubi Jun 2, 10:33
      - *creates a character named Red ReBar* - Will Hunting Jun 2, 09:58
      - *signs you to a contract* -- nm - DC Jun 2, 09:57
    - If the character was created in the 40s or 50s that actually probably was creative. - TWuG Jun 2, 09:56
    - well, Mr Fantastic is the leader of the Fantastic 4, so it makes some sense. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 2, 09:55 1
      - Mr Terrific used to head Team Terrific, though. -- nm - Spawn Jun 2, 09:59
Pretty damn dumb, yes. -- nm - Kim Pine Jun 2, 09:51
