Every once in a while I will tease some of the students.
One student asked who Ultron was and the character's backstory. Another student sort of explained but didn't really do an amazing job. I look from my desk and go, "Hey. If you still want to know about Ultron ask me in the last minutes of class and I'll tell you his actual backstory."
Which prompted the second student to go, "Come on man... Why you have to slam me down like that?"
I looked at him and went, "I know more than you on this subject. I know more than all of you combined."
Who are you talking to right now? Who is it you think you see? Do you know how many comics I read in a year? I mean, even if I told you, you wouldn't believe it. Do you know what would happen if I suddenly decided to stop buying comics? A business big enough that it could be listed on the NASDAQ goes belly up. Disappears! It ceases to exist without me. No, you clearly don't know who you're talking to, so let me clue you in. I am not talking to nerds, kid. I am the nerd. A guy goes to a website and gets a plot twist taken from a 20 year old comic spoiled and you think that of me? No. I am the one who blogs!

Oh, on the topic of Doctor Doom, Chris Sims did an essay on him today.
Liked it, and agree on a lot, but I'm not sure I'm 100% on board about a couple things.
One bit is that, although I agree Doom would totally eat a baby if it was the only way to establish superiority over Reed Richards, I think he does tend to have the virtues he claims, only they get buried whenever they get in the way of his pride. Like, if he could prove Reed equally dumb by eating a baby, or by curing cancer, he'd cure cancer. Which is part of why he's such a good villain. If he could keep his ego in check, he'd be a great man. Thanks to the ego, he probably HAS eaten a baby once or twice.
The other is, clever as the bit might be (Doom and the Masters of Evil spoilers)
I really don't think Doom would wish away his guilt...
Because that would mean admitting he felt it in the first place. He's dominated by his pride, after all. Guilt? That's a part of you saying something you did was wrong. That's Doom saying "Hey, I'm not naturally 100% certain that I'm the best all the time."
It means admitting he's flawed. Even if he wished it away, that would be depending on someone else to settle his own issues. To let something else be better than Doom.
I think he'd probably feel that any action which required eating a baby would be beneath him. He isn't above murder, obviously, but also strikes me as a guy who holds himself to a higher level of villainy.

it's weird

"Mr. Ugal? Please, tell me the complete history of Hawkman."

Why I fear the ocean.
Just say "Sorry, you're on your own for that one" and then jump out a window.
In such cases I would do the only natural thing an adult should do towards a child.
Lie.
You wish you were Dr. Doom? Or you wish they knew you were Dr. Doom?
Either way, getting constantly humiliated by Stretch Armstrong would sort of suck.

And then, once he has finished
"No I mean the one with the bow and arrow"
"Now I ask again, who created Batman?"
Well your first name is clearly Zon
They had a stand at MegaCon a few weeks back and I got a Hawkeye and Captain Marvel shirt and they are of low quality
The Hawkeye logo has bits of the print falling off all over it, and both shirts have poor stitching
Considering the price it's a bummer
The paddle is to hit kids who say Bob Kane, right?

Okay Mr. _____ Zilla
All I'm saying is if I was Dr. Doom none of those kids would ever be tardy to class.
At least, never twice.

But am I weird that I prefer my t-shirts are a cotton/poly blend rather than 100% cotton?
Unfortunately, these aren't exactly super frequent
100% cotton on a shirt is no guarantee of quality, at all
Don't think I've ever encountered a 100% polyester shirt which was more than vile, though
YES
Im a huge nerd and bought this
Actually really comfortable! But the LED light is a bit dim thru the shirt
Gonna crack her open and change out a few resistors
Tied to the upcoming Days of Future Past.
It's, uh
Why would someone launch an advertisement website without proofreading?

The Winter Soldier was the best movie
I just thought you should know
C'mere.
I could do that. Oh god, I could do it. What have I done with my life?

So perfect for Steve Rogers, then

Fucker's too egotistical to go for that.
