    The only thing worse than reading The Boys is reading The Boys and discovering it's given you an erection. Welcome to a life of sexual deviancy, courtesy of Garth Ennis!
    Yes, I am willfully misinterpreting what you meant by "like".

    Make fun of it all you want but The Boys gave us Love Sausage. And Love Sausage is the greatest hero ever. The guy's kryptonite is big titties!

    Bask in his glory!

    I also wondered what the Osborn hair was supposed to represent. Who has weird hair ridges like that?

    If Marvel wanted to they could just have Norman have normal hair, it's not like Luke Cage still walks around with an afro and a tiara.

    Yeah, I think this is effect that Ditko was trying to draw when he created the character. But then other artists missed what was going on, and it's been drawn Ditko-style for so long that the sideways cornrow hair is the identifier for the character now.

    Osborn keeps his hair that way so you never notice the pumpkin/USB bomb in his hands. Its his secret weapon. Even Deadpool can't tear himself away from the power of his hair!

    USB Bomb? Does it have a really long chord to reach his laptop after he throws it?

    I think it was in the second volume of T-bolts. He miniturized a pumpkin bomb into a flash drive.

    that's how I always pictured Osborne hair. I thought it was pretty obvious.

    Well, the Deadpool scan that I posted regarding the hair does belong in this thread. Along with basically that entire issue.

    Here is how Graviton makes sure no super heroes try and interfere with his plans of taking over the world:
    TB57a.jpg

    Just hold them upside down high in the air and they can't do a thing.

    And then this was the first issue where Zemo actually realizes he could be a good hero instead of dasterdly villain:

    Well let's see. None of the beam weapons would be affected by gravity, and neither would any of the magic Or Sue's stuff. Not to mention, say, Mr. Fantastic could just kick his ass from half a mile away or whatever. That's assuming that he's automatically modulating the gravity so that they couldn't simply fly out of it.

    He's got them up in the air thousands of feet, Mr. Fantastic can't stretch that far, Jean was just getting her TK/Phoenix powers back during this time so she's not that strong, Wanda only has plot magic when Busiek writes her, Thor wasn't Odin level powerful yet, etc.

    Fabian Nicieza knows how to make these things work. You just have to believe, ok?
