They Killed Cap!

[Felon]

I'm actually happy about World War Hulk for the off chance that big green gets to kill Iron Man, Reed Richards, and Professor X. The three of them deserve it since you just know they wont be tried an executed for mass murder for their actions in Planet Hulk and Civil War. I don't really understand why they are taking heroes and making them retroactively evil.

What did Prof. X do? He wasn't involved with the Hulk conspiracy and he was neutral in the Civil War.

As far as the Hulk goes, he's certainly an incredibly dangerous creature, who's been offered plenty of second chances. There is only one way to deal with a mad dog...

Professor X is part of the Illuminati. It was their plan to jettison Hulk off-planet.

Given that this little group has done way more harm than good, it wouldn't break my heart to see them taken down a peg.

No, it was the plan of a few members of the Illuminati to send the Hulk into space. The Illuminati is just a loosely-organized informal think tank, after all. They rarely meet at all, and even more rarely with full consensus. The Professor was not involved, and Namor actually got pretty PO"ed about the whole idea.

But Professor X, as far as we know, had no part in the decision. It's a pretty thin excuse to put the X-Men in Hulk's crosshairs...

Just checked. The Hulk plan took place after House of M, so Prof. X was definitely unavailable. It was just Richards, Stark, Strange, and Namor at that little meeting.

It's the freaking HULK!

Do you think he's going to go through a sober, intellectual process to select his targets?

I mean... this is the second time you've basically said this, so you really think Hulk's going to sit down, FBI style, with a big chart with pictures.

Then his lead investigator will say "Sir, according to our sources, this 5-member group banished you from Earth, but THIS guy, the bald one, we have no proof he was responsible."

Hulk strokes his goatee thoughtfully, "Well, you know what a big believer I am in due process. We'll leave him alone, since we have no proof he was involved. Better safe than sorry."

Cmon guys. Hulk. Smash. He's not going to be using smart bombs to make sure he ONLY gets the people MOST responsible.

He's mad as hell, and he's going to get those guys.

Who are those guys? Dunno, don't care.

It's WORLD WAR HULK.

Not "Hulk soberly chooses targets"

You think with a title starting with the words WORLD and WAR that there might be some innocent blood shed?

No?!?!?! Hulk? Shed innocent blood?

I mean, the whole world wasn't responsible for what happened to him.

But somebody's gonna pay.

And you know what? He's Hulk. Why not a LOT of somebody's.

Wanna make an omelet? Break a few eggs.

I was lumping Professor X in for his retroactive super dickery in the Deadly Genisis affair, not specifically for the Hulk thing.

When it all boils down Cap was the living personification of what America was supposed to be.

Yes, and that time have already passed.

Hail our new superhero, the champion of corporations and capitalism, Iron Man.

(Stark International will make Haliburton looks like a street vendor.)

Except that Cap isn't dead. The only mention of him even BEING dead in Cap #25 comes from a news anchor. On Marvel.com it's reported by the Daily Bugle.

I say again: Marvel relaunched Cap's title; they put an A-List writer and A-list artist on it; it became a top seller; Cap starred in the big event crossover of 2006; Cap finally, for maybe the first time in a few decades, matters again in the Marvel U.

Kill him now?

Has NO ONE on these boards read a freaking comic before? This is the start of a big Cap run that they wanted max publicity for.

That is all.

Cap is not dead. CNN can stop drawing their lame political parallels and making 94 year old Cap co-creator Joe Simon cry any second now.

He is not dead.

I'd appreciate anyone who reads the books to post here when Cap is officially seen/revealed to be alive "again". I've got a bunch of people at work to tell, "See, I told ya."

Even if it happens months from now. I'm bookmarking this thread to revisit for this info.

Thanks, in advance.
