Can the hulk get so angry, and thus get so strong....

that he could PUNCH THROUGH TIME?!


YES!!!!

Liberty's Edge

If the universe is endless and expanding, where does it expand into?!


The universe is not endless. I have been to the end of the universe. There is a big brick wall and a mean dog. And a sign saying "do not enter".

Does Galactus poop asteroids? If he ate Jupiter would he poop an earth-sized planet?

Regrettably Jupiter is (likely) mostly gas. When Galactus' belly is full of gas, you probably want to stop asking deep questions, extinguish all open flames, and hyperspace off to the cosmic boondocks. Settle down on a small moon, change your name and blend in by getting a simple job. Then just live your diminished life to its conclusion knowing that you survived, dern it. YOU SURVIVED.

You know the Falcon? And Banshee?
Why doesn't everybody in Marvel comics just get some little flaps on there arms if that's all it takes to make you able to fly?
I know I would.

I did. It was AWESOME.

And (to avoid being accused of thread-jacking) who would win in a fight:

The Incredible Hulk, or Fiddler's Green?

Hulk want his ATM card back! Stupid machine, give hulk card!

no the Hulk cannot punch through time as it is out of phase or some such; you just can't touch it physically; nor could the Hulk get strong enough no matter how mad he got to lift Thor's hammer Mjolner after he caught it once when Thor threw it at him; he just kept yelling Hulk lift puny hammer, but he couldn't so he wasn't strong enough to overcome the purity troll enchantment on the hammer; then Thor clocked him and took the hammer; this was in the comic story titles "breakthrough" or something very close; been a few years,.


Hmm never heard of Fiddlers Green and link didnt tell me about it.

In the rather pants Ultimates cartoon I think Hulk lifts Thor's hammer!


hmm the only one that I know of that that has lifted Thor's hammer other than Thor was Captain America; he had the purity, but lacked the strength to wield it; even the trolls that made it could not lift it; they had to steal it from Thor by slipping some magical lifting tray under it and carrying the tray. I haven't read every Thor comic, does anyone else know of other instances?


In the Ultimates movie, Hulk does lift the thing off the ground.

Also, another question for everyone: On a scale of 1-4, what are your feelings on the color green?

I'm not a big fan of the Ultimate Universe. Sorry. I grew up with the "real" Marvel Universe, so I'm biased.

Speaking of the Hulk, is anyone else looking forward to seeing the Hulk return to earth this summer and smashing the Illuminati, SHIELD, and anyone else who gets in his way?

Planet Hulk has been incredible, but I just can't wait till he gets back down to earth...


There are something like 5-6 different people that have lifted Thor's hammer. A friend of mine has near encyclopedic knowledge of most things useless. Even if he never read the comic, he could remember the names from the back of the one marvel trading card that mentioned it back in 1992 or something. We end up doing superhero/comic/D&D trivia when we go out to bars alot of the time. I'll try to ring him up for the info sometime soon.

Hm . . . Beta Ray Bill (Odin was so impressed with him that he gave him his own hammer, Stormbringer), Erik Masterson (who, after Thor came back and claimed his hammer, took the name Thunderstrike and got a mace or some such), Odin, Captain America, and I think Spiderman. But I could be wrong . . .


Heh, he doesn't think Spiderman did, but She- Hulk definitely did, and apparently someone's daughter from a "What If" issue during the Secret Wars. Everyon else is correct though, Captain America, Beta Ray Bill and the rest.


More questions:
Is this civil war stuff worth reading?

Are they gonna come out with a compilation book?

Any news on Thor?
Will the REAL Thor please stand up?
Is there anyone on the planet of comic readers that wouldn't love to see Thor and Hulk go at it again in a three or more comic knockdown dragout?

Do the new Silver Surfer FF4 trailers totally rock or what?

Do you think you could cut the mustard and be a on Stan Lee's do you wanna be a superhero? (some days I am totally jazzed for this but work and family intrudes on these petty dreams)

Totally. :)


More questions:

YES. Its very interesting. The ending was a bit of a let down, but it was very good overall.

Are they gonna come out with a compilation book?

Of course. Should be out next month I believe.

Any news on Thor?

In Fantastic Four-Civil War tie in, Thor's hammer falls back to earth, and some man whose face remains unseen is taking a bus to Oklahoma- where the hammer fell. Hmmmm

Will the REAL Thor please stand up?

I won't spoil part 7 of civil war, but you will see something akin to an answer.

Is there anyone on the planet of comic readers that wouldn't love to see Thor and Hulk go at it again in a three or more comic knockdown dragout?

More likely, they team up to stop the registration. Come on, can't you guys picture hulk and thor coming back and being asked for they're registration papers?

HULK SMASH PUNY REGISTRATION
Thor: I SAY THEE NAY!

Do the new Silver Surfer FF4 trailers totally rock or what?

Yes. Quite so.

Do you think you could cut the mustard and be a on Stan Lee's do you wanna be a superhero? (some days I am totally jazzed for this but work and family intrudes on these petty dreams)

No idea. Haven't been watching it.


Who would win in a fight, the Siver Surfer or Firestorm "Man of the Atom"

I think Norrin Radd would win easy, but my friend thinks other wise. Is he right or should I ask for some of what he's smoking?

Liberty's Edge

In Weregeek #100, is that a map of Golarion I see in the background?


ok; if Galactus is older than our universe; and existed in the universe before this one and is thus as Reed Richards argued; necessary to the existance of our universe; then where was he between each universe's existance?


SS would win over time; they would be pretty even in the beginning; but the Surfer has much more energy and would wear him down over time.
Also, Surfer has a heck of a lot more experience.

Firestorm would win. He would convert the Surfer's board to potato salad, then change his protective silver coating to saran wrap and the beatdown would begin.

Well, it's sort of the same as saying "you exist in the dining room and then you move so that you exist in the kitchen (assuming they're connected. mine are. YMMV), so where were you in the intervening distance?" the answer is that you were in the doorjamb (or doorway), but it is of such negligable width that you don't cout it as a seperate place. same here. Galactus was in universe A, then he crossed a doorway into universe 2. (I'm assuming that this was a crunch/bang scenario, but either way...) the doorway is negligable since it didn't exist long enough, or was big enough, to matter. Also, although my example is 3 dimensional, I'm assuming you can easily picture it extracted to higher dimensions, where the person (Galactus) doesn't move and the room changes around him. same principle. it would be instantaneous.

therefore, the answer is that he wasn't anywhere between the universes.

Or at least that's the way it makes sense to me. Also, I think the pheonix was involved somehow.

IIRC, Wonder Woman lifted Thor's hammer during the Marvel vs. DC crossover.

Here's a question:

Why is Wonder Woman in the DC Universe and Wonder Man in the Marvel? Won't someone please think of their feelings!?


hehe well; add this twist; Wonder Man is a presumed atatomically correct android; hmm; batteries not included. Lol crossovers; Wonder Woman wishes she had a hammer with all her rage and sexual bondage beginnings; doubt she is pure enough to lift Thor's hammer; just bad writing; I suppose supes could lift it; its a purity thing; not a strength thing. WonderWoman a could lift the hammer not more than she could ride on a unicorn.

Actually, you may be thinking of Machine Man, or perhaps the Vision.

Wonder Man began life as a human, got zapped by Count Nefario's machinery into becoming a bad guy named "Power Man" for a while...

...and Power Girl is also still a publishing universe away...

died, rose from the dead as a zuvembie, got better, and is now living ionic energy (wouldn't that be electricity?) (shush!) in a human form.

He has kind of dated Wanda, the Scarlet Witch, after her marriage with the Vision broke up, and he seems to be spending a lot of time with Ms. Marvel these days.

--+--+--

Anybody have any opinions about who the Red Hulk is, or why Leonard Samson is using him to kill the Hulk?


Power Man and WonderMan are not the same person; The Original Power Man, not Luke Cage; was made by the Enchantress to fight Thor, he has since changed his name; the WonderMan I am talking about is the guy in old West Coast Avengers; is made from the body of the old Sythezoid of the Human Torch; he is more or less the Visions half brother; they consider themselves brothers anyway. If you like; I can be more specific. There have been a few Power Man characters in Marvel; and Wonder Man has been reprogrammed a few times; as has Vision like when he was a puppet of Ultron. Marvel reguritatates names now and again and it sure gets confusing.

speaking of power; Marvel had Power Pack; hehe; guess we could throw them in.

Valegrim, check your 'facts', please. (I put facts in quotations, 'cause it's not like we're dealin' with real people here!)

It's the Vision that's a synthezoid, not Wonder Man. The Vision was a member of the West Coast Avengers. Wonder Man, despite being in Hollywood as a actor, never was a member of that team.

But you're right. Power Man was intended to be a duplicate of Wonder Man. He eventually became Atlas.

Good lord, I'm such a geek. (My very first issue of Avengers was Simon's resurrection at the hands of the Black Talon.)

In re-reading this, I was struck by the tone-of-voice this might convey. I'm afraid I might have come off as mean-spirited here. That wasn't the intention, and I apologize.

Yes, the Vision is a synthezoid whose brain patterns were based on Simon Williams (Wonder Man), which is why they somewhat considered themselves like brothers. However, Wonder Man was, indeed, a member of the West Coast Avengers at one time.

I admit, the writing on that book varied from the simply bland to the really awful, and then Byrne being odd, and then back to bad, so it's plausible that I might have suppressed those issues.

I'm willing to stand corrected on that.

Here you go:

]The team is founded by the Avenger Hawkeye in response to a suggestion by android fellow Avenger the Vision, who at the time is unbalanced [1 wrote:
and wishes to prevent Hawkeye from meddling in Avenger business. Hawkeye recruits Mockingbird; Wonder Man; Tigra and Iron Man, with the last actually being Jim Rhodes as opposed to Tony Stark, a fact initially unknown to the team. Together the team defeat a petty criminal called the Blank and later Avengers foe Graviton.

Next question:
Who would win in a fight, Marvel's Captain Marvel or DC's Captain Marvel?

Also, which name is worse, Happy Hogan or Pepper Potts?

That's a tough one. I'll assume by "Marvel's Captain Marvel" you mean Mar-Vell of the Kree. He was a military guy who had super human strength, the nega-bands, could shoot energy, and (best of all) Cosmic Awareness. DC's Captain Marvel had the power of the greek gods: the Wisdom of Solomon, the Strength of Hercules, the Stamina of Atlas, the Power of Zeus, the Courage of Achilles, and the Speed of Mercury.

A tough call, but I think the power of SHAZAM might just be enough to pull off the win.

Callous Jack wrote:

I'd go with Hapy Hogan being the worse of the two.
