Somebody in the thread about Nova coming to the MCU was unaware who the character was, and someone else countered that the guy was #98 on IGN's list of the greatest superheroes.
Someone asked who the hell could even name 100 superheroes, and the next post was of course a list of 99 other superheroes. To which I added another 66 right off the top of my head.

Which made me realize that I could easily rattle off the names of probably somewhere around three hundred superheroes from Marvel, DC, and some of the other publishers.

I am the wellspring from which all useless knowledge flows.

I got into comics in the early 1970s, and mostly quit by 2000. 99% of that was superhero titles, mostly Marvel & DC.

I can remember a great many of the characters, but every once in a while, I encounter one I recognize, but cannot recall the name of. OTOH, I can sometimes dredge up names that only popped up in a handful of issues, like Tyroc.

I’ve been enjoying audio books for about five years now. I listen to them on my trips to work and back.

I listen to audiobooks if i'm doing something that doesn't require me to listen to whatever I'm doing, like if I'm grinding races in GTA online or mining ore in WoW. Right now I'm listening to World War Z unabridged and it has a full cast of Hollywood.

The book I skipped was L Ron Hubbard's Battlefield Earth.

Humble Bundle had those audio books recently. I thought about getting them. They'll be available again one day.

I was born in '72, so I started reading comics at the start of the '80's. I used to get a lot of older comics at yard sales and such when I was a kid, though, so my general comics knowledge goes back to about the '70's, with certain specific areas (Batman, WWII comics) reaching back to the late '50's. I stopped reading comics on a regular basis in the early '90's, although I'm at least vaguely familiar with most of the major Marvel and DC characters and storylines up through around maybe 2005 or 2010...
Every time I hit a movie theater to see a superhero film, I'm always the guy that ends up with a circle of people around me while I explain the origins of some of the characters, the differences between the comics and the movies, and just how many little easter eggs and references they threw in that only comics fans would get...

BARK!

I'm really getting tired of the cops following me. I'm driving around DOING MY JOB. I wish they would get a real job and stop harassing innocent people. The world would be better off with fewer cops in it. People can live in peace without fear of being shot, profiled, or entrapped.

Careful. I used to be a cop

I might beat you.... Marvel, DC, Valiant, Dark Horse, Comico, Image, Crusade, Cliffhanger, and more

Started in late 70's. Considered myself a Comicologists by 84. Planned to write a book about the history but then came the internet.

I was going to argue for my anti police stance. I just don't have it in me at this time.


Guys, I'm taking off. I'm not sure how long. Maybe a few days, maybe forever. Happy adventures to you all. I hope your journey is long. May your treasures be plentiful. Always be strong of heart and of mind. Make wiser decisions than I did.
