That time Agatha Harkness explained how the Scarlet Witch's children could not be real because "only the creator can create life".
Even discarding naturalistic explanations, hasn't she ever heard of "moving in mysterious ways?"
Worst. Retcon. Ever.

My favorite part is the very matter of fact "in a fat suit," as though this is something DD pulls all the time and Spidey's finally over it. |

"Mutants are a new species" "Mutants can not reproduce anymore" "Mutations manifest themselves at puberty" all point to a deeply flawed understanding of what a mutation is. Tye only time Marvel got it right, I think, is when Cyclops convinced a sentinel that all life on Earth consisted of mutations. So he got the killer robot to go from attacking the X-Men to attacking all life on Earth? That doesn't seem like helping... |

That way lies madness. Comic book science is even worse than comic book law. Like the seemingly dozens of times that Batman got to testify in costume.  |

Luckily, the Sentinels decided to go beat up what they perceived as the source of life on Earth : the sun! The sun won. |

Like the seemingly dozens of times that Batman got to testify in costume. Yes, he insists on the electors from each state determining who will be the next President.  Obviously, though, on Earth-Post-Modern, meta-humans have to register, which to me is a clear violation of the Elebenty-Third Amendment, which guarantees the right to have super-powers: "A well regulated justice league being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of superheroes to keep and bear meta-powers shall not be infringed." "Superpowers don't kill people; superheroes kill people." As Brek Bannin said, "If you want my superpowers, you'll have to pry them from my cold dead hands." |

I believe it was Roy Thomas, during his collaboration with Neal Adams on the book. The Sentinels couldn't really help themselves, as they were not very bright machines... they just obeyed their programming. Furthermore, it was later revealed (in an Avengers story) that some of them, instead of flying into the sun, remained on Earth to build a sun-destroying device. That's the story in which Quicksilver was wounded, leading to his ending up in Crystal's care and to their eventual marriage. |

I've read a handful of Marvel comics written by Jim Shooter, which possess varying degrees of dumbness. Both sets of Secret Wars, and the deconstruction of Henry Pym in the Avengers, speak for themselves. And, as awesome as Gerry Conway's 1976 Superman-Spider-Man tabloid is, that's how awesome Shooter's 1981 sequel isn't.
I've barely scratched the surface of Shooter's '60s DC stuff. The Legion blows the interplanetary equivalents of donkey nether regions, IMO.

Someone hijacked your post. |

Why...yes! It was Post-Hijack Boy! Or maybe it was Troll Lad. Or H8r Girl. Or Sass Lass. Or Weird Alien Real Name Kid. Or Shade Throwing Guy. Or...
