They Killed Cap!

[wingsandsword]

Iron Man is a neo-facist villain with Reed Richards as his cohort and the Fantastic 4 have split up, Captain America is dead, Spider Man is publically revealed, and mutants are all but extinct with a few hundred left on Earth. . .

Is it just me or is the Marvel Universe seeming more like a twisted Evil Mirror Universe version of itself?

Then one would hope for Khan Noonien Singh and his supermen will save the day.

Hmm...

Again? Between this, Casualties of War, and Civil War and all its tie-ins, we've got about half a dozen motives for Iron Man's involvement in the Registration Act.

[EDIT- Not sure why we're spoilering this, as it's not giving anything away...

 

[Ranger REG]

Leave that sort of thing to Vertigo comics.

Really? I might revive my comic-book hobby with Vertigo.

[sblock] Nothing that makes sense outside of Arkham Asylum. Once, Iron Man and Dr. Doom were fighting, and got transported back in time to Camelot, with Iron Man going all fanboy over King Arthur, whereas Doom helped Morgan Le Fey raise a zombie army (what is it with Marvel and zombies anyway?). And then, as he was fighting alongside King Arthur, Iron Man had one of his "visions of the future": one day it won't be heroes vs. villains, but heroes vs. heroes. When word of the Superhuman Registration Act reached his ears, he knew that was it. He knew how everyone (except Spiderman) would react. He did all he could to make the transition easy. And now that Cap is dead, it was not worth it. [/sblock]

Many of you are saying Iron man would never do the things he has. Then why is it in several possibly futures he is the world conqueorer? In some stories, his armored stooges go galactic.

This makes sense to me even if it kinda sucks.

Reed....He was always a man about practicality. Would he go this far.... not sure.

Then there is the Hulk when he comes back. World War Hulk is going to hit hard buuuuut...with the 50+ Avengers teams maybe not as hard as I originally thought.



What gets me in the end is Marvel, and DC to some point, is trying to make comicbooks more real life. I don't know about you guys, but if I went through 12 issues worth of their storys I would be certifibly koo-koo and more evil than good anyway.

Look at spidey- Influenced the death of his Uncle. ouch

Aunt May nearly marries arch enemy... WTF?!?

Constant attacks

Clones....multiple times

Go to space

Go into other dimensions

Learn your first love was slutty and hung out with THE arch enemy

Arch enemy is the father of one of your best friends



now keep in mind teenagers that can be "called" nerds lost it several times and killed classmates. REAL LIFE.

Just my two cents....

I like it actually. He had a vision of the future, tried to stop it from being that horrible, yet ended up fulfilling his own vision. Nice and tragic.
