    okay here's what you need to know about the marvel universe

    I'd fuck Chris Evans as Captain America until his legs fell off, and I'd mount a giant hamster bottle on the wall to make sure I didn't dehydrate him into a dessicated husk from all the fluids he'd be losing

    I guess I'd make kisses with Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man

    that is all

    And yet apparently you wouldn't go anywhere near Samuel L. Jackson. Racist.

    maybe i think he's TOO GOOD for me and i'm intimidated, you fucking ableist

    More believable if you didn't have a big "White Power" sign on the wall behind you.

    i am dedicating at least four pages of my sketcbook to images of you on fire

    There's a few mutants who also have superpowers or upgrades from other shit, which makes things even more confusing.

    Wolverine is a mutant, whose natural superpowers include enhanced senses, his healing factor, and claws made of bone that come out of his hands. However, he's had his skeleton laced with adamantium via technology and had a bunch of fucked up knowledge and combat skills programmed in there as part of Weapon X, so he's also kind of a cyborg? Kinda.

    And then you have guys that, despite being longtime associated foes of the X-Men, are not (in the original, mainstream comic continuity) mutants but gained their powers through other means.

    Juggernaut, for example, is not a mutant. He gets his powers from a magical gemstone that is linked to a cosmic entity. Mr. Sinister is also not a mutant, he's a mutate who was turned into what he is by Apocalypse, who is also a mutant but more importantly has been augmented to nearly godlike power via technology he discovered in ancient Egypt left behind by cosmic beings who had fucked around on Earth thousands of years ago.

    And then you have a whole class of hero whose powerset is "Learned hand to hand combat from Captain America".

    Favouring Captain America over Iron Man is why men complain that women are illogical, unfathomable creatures.

    This Twilight Struggle game is really neat but man it is a lot to take in at once.

    One player plays the USSR one player plays the USA and you play through the Cold War. The game is VERY rooted in history. The gameplay is mostly driven by a deck of 110 cards. The catch is that each of these 110 cards is unique and based in historical events (the soviets can play De Gaulle Leads France for example, to gain influence in France and remove the effects of NATO from France). Which is super neat! But also holy god so much to take in at once.

    Have you ever played 1960: The Making Of The President?

    No. I hear it is similar though. Yeah?

    Redneck Iron Man would play Skynard instead of AC/DC

    He would be a poor, deep-southern mechanic.

    He would build a suit out of car parts and broken washing machines in order to fight social injustice.

    He would paint a big confederate flag on it.

    He would be known as "Iron Mang".

    Where on his mechanical suit would he hang the Truck Nutz?

    They are, in a word, vast.

    So it was an electronic music class taught by a late 90s Mac computer type of guy

    So everyone in the lab was either trying to write moody hip hop bangers or else they were part of this all in black industrial boy clique

    We shared the cassette deck between three keyboards so as you switched channels it would go from "boom bap Boombap *gangster slide whistle*" to black lipstick pumping club industrial and then over to my channel which was clanking noises that I had pitched down an octave and rumbling bass noises
