Spot the best ever use of a scientific name in this song!
Incidentally we may as well call this "Brum's Comic Related Thread"!
Lol. Just "Brum's Thread" will do.
Last one for a while, honest. I'll go back into the zoo forums soon.
Does this mean Mothra gave birth to both of them
~Thylo
I'm not sure how familiar you are with superhero movies, but this is a reference to a film named Batman v Superman where, eventually, the two titular characters fought each other. The twist was that both their mothers were named Martha, and then they became good friends. Until the next movie.Does this mean Mothra gave birth to both of them
Anyway, there were two Marthas, not one. So Mothra wasn't the mother of both these monsters, there were two different Mothras. One gave birth to a giant dinosaur lizard, and the other one gave birth to a giant gorilla. It's just science.
Yeah I'm (unfortunately) well aware of the plot of BvS. I figured since there was only one Mothra (I think? Not seen many Godzilla movies) that would mean the one gave birth to both. TBH there being two Mothras and this causing King Kong and Godzilla to become friends is just about as good of a plotline as the two moms named Martha

Yes indeed, and Rodan could be the bad guy who creates a monster they have to team up and fight. It turns out the monster was man all along.Yeah I'm (unfortunately) well aware of the plot of BvS.

Wasn't Frank Zappa responsible for the Mothras of Invention?
If you think about it, very few of the superheroes had realistic reactions to the incidents which made them superheroes. Most of them would have just died.
Radioactive spider bite? Died.
Space cloud radiation thing? All died.
Radioactive waste in the eyes? Died.
Gamma radiation overdose? Totally died.
Basically what I'm saying is, massive radiation poisoning doesn't give you superpowers.

Some of the Mutant abilities make even less sense...
Nightcrawler - teleports through other dimensions to travel not very far in actual distance.
Cyclops - has a portal to another dimension behind his eyes, which is where his beams come from.
Colossus - can turn to living steel.
You can really tell what Stan Lee and the team at Marvel spent most of the 60's doing...
Talc Man was too soft. His first and last appearance was in the 'Talcpowder Plot'.
Really? I didn't know that. How does a genetic mutation create a dimensional portal inside your head? All I got were backwards toad feet. Now I feel ripped off.
Apparently so, not sure how he doesn't burn his own face off when his visor is closed as it just deflects the beams.
Better than me, I just got BIG big toes to aid with my balance. Helps when I'm p*ssed but not much use the rest of the time.
Hence my main issue with the X-Men. How does a genetic mutation give Scarlet Witch the ability to manipulate reality and both create and destroy other living beings?
As for Nightcrawler, I think he needs to be able to see where he's teleporting to, or at least have been there before. I could be wrong, though.

That's a pretty lame superpower.
Imagine all the mutants standing around comparing stats. Storm says she can control the weather, Mystique says she can take any form she wants, Magneto says he can control metal through telekinesis, and Wolverine says that he is Hugh Jackman. Then they all look at Nightcrawler and he says "oh, um, I can teleport to just over there..."
Yeah but what if over there was on the other side of an indestructible glass wall? Or across a gorge. Or they were all falling to their death and over there is the plane? Or up a mountain? Or--
EDIT: Everyone knows Storm's real power is sick burns. "Do you know what happens to a frog when it's struck by lighting? Same as everything else" *electrocutes a toad*
