Which icon should die --REALLY die?

[Doc Comic]

Batman should die.

 

[ourchair]

I agree with Bass that Spider-Man is more likely to die because Supes is invulnerable, but in general the idea of Superman is waaaaaay outdated.

*ducks*

I think Superman is often underrated by others who just see him as a strong man devoid of complexities, but you're right on that one. There was a time that the whole ubermensch thing was relevant to the zeitgeist, but sixty years later I hardly think that relevance stands.

 

[Caduceus]

I voted both, but I also want Batman to die, honestly.

 

[Guijllons]

Superman has to die.
Because I don't understand him.

 

[marvelman]

If they keep writing Superman like in All-Star, then Spidey should die, otherwise, supes should die. B/C it seems the creators are "developing" the character of Spidey by writing the same reaction to everything. :?

 

[compound]

Luthor, is that you?

 

[Guijllons]

Luthor, is that you?

Hehe, maybe. And isn't that the sad thing? Luthor is far more relevant than the hero is supposed to be the nemesis of.

...which is why I was careful to say that as a *general* idea he is outdated. All-Star Superman and the likes notwithstanding.

If they keep writing Superman like in All-Star

Ain't gonna happen.

 

[DIrishB]

Batman should die.

You son of a *****!

That also goes for Compound, Dr. Strangefate, and anyone else who voted Batman should die. I'd rather see Superman die from a super-fart before Batman dies.

I voted both, but I also want Batman to die, honestly.

And it goes for Cad too.

 

[slimjim]

Justice League should turn on superman.

 

[John Q. Public]

For the millions who missed it, in the final issue of HOM Spider-Man, he faked his death by having Uncle Ben take a picture of him hanging himself by his own webbing from a power line.

Superman should die because he's way too blase about that Mr. Quinton guy creating all those horribly mutated freaks.

Superman is way to blase about everything. Like I said, he has about as much personality as a vegetable.

 

[E.Vi.L.]

He did (die), then he came back.

Which is when he went from being Moses in a cape to being Jesus in a cape.

Of course neither will die. When has a character with his ongoing title ever been killed? Now if you both have a gazillions of ongoing title...

I if one has to, then it's Superman. The lamest excuse for gaining superpowers still in activity. The Sun is different than the one on his home planet and so he can fly faster than a jet, lift thousands of tons, is indestructible, has weird vision powers, doesn't need to breath and freeze stuff with his breath? WTH? Not only is the different sun idea idiotic, what is the link between all these poweres?

Yeah, I know, it's not the first time I make this rant. As the Superman movie approaches, I fear they will rise in frequency.

I totally agree. My spider-sense is going crazy over the buzz about this movie, which looks horrible. Bryan Singer is terrible. X-Men 2 was incoherent. Singer will kill Superman by default. And, frankly, the Man of Squeel has been dead for decades.

Not true. Mutants are the lamest excuse for superpowers. Stan Lee himself said that he made the X-Men mutants because he had run out of ideas for origins.

 

[Doc Comic]

The day Superman is killed - permanently killed - is the day I go on a Falling Down rampage through my town.

 

[E.Vi.L.]

Not true. Mutants are the lamest excuse for superpowers.

:lol:

*wipes a tear*

Mutation being a lamer excuse for superpowers than a whole planets of aliens that look like normal humans and have normal abilities under the light of their home star but who becomes a bundle of unrelated superpowers when under the light of our sun?

Good one, moon, good one.

 

[Doc Comic]

Not true. Mutants are the lamest excuse for superpowers. Stan Lee himself said that he made the X-Men mutants because he had run out of ideas for origins.

Please, let me get a sex change so I can have your children. I've said for years that mutants are the lamest origin ever.

Does it beat "Dial H for HERO"? Where our heroes would dial HERO on their special watches and be transformed into a hero that second, complete with a box that contained their name, their abilities, and the name and location of the fan that sent in the idea to the letters page.

Hmm, actually, that sounds like genius in comparison.

Dial H For Hero at least made an effort to give them an origin, an original origin that hadn't been done before. Mutants are just bleh. Geez, a normal human putting on a costume out of the blue is more original and exciting than mutants.
