Best Discussion on Superheroes Changing Their Costumes

Best Discussion on Superheroes Changing Their Costumes

It makes perfect sense for a superhero to change their costume on occasion. It might be a symbol or a way for people to recognize them, but no one really wants to be forced to wear the same outfit all the time.

On a side note, it might not be too surprising if Tony Stark actually did say “lol” once in a while.

Best Reason for Superheroes and Villains to Rethink Costumes

Best Reason for Superheroes and Villains to Rethink Costumes

Most superheroes and supervillains wear spandex costumes. It makes it easier for them to move around in their daily activities. The problem is when the weather changes, the regular costume might not be the most ideal outfit. This is something we discussed before and is mentioned in this week’s Spider-Man comic.

Justice League of America #8

Most Bizarre Guns

Daredevil has been fighting the crimelord known as Tenfingers. This guy literally has ten fingers on his hand. With that many digits, you might be able to imagine what a gun he might use would look like. Our question is, if it has that many triggers, how many bullets does it fire at once?

Daredevil has been working with a new hero calling himself Blindspot. When needing to reach Daredevil and unable to call him directly, Blindspot simply tweeted to his followers and asked them to say three words out loud, in the hopes that Matt Murdock would hear someone deliver the message.

Back to the Future #6


Best Obvious Secret Lab we Never Thought About

Best Obvious Secret Lab we Never Thought About

If you’ve seen the Back to the Future movies, you know the story how Doc Brown built a time machine out of a DeLorean. The thing we never really thought about was, how did Doc build this without Marty knowing about it until he was ready to show him? We know Marty visited Doc’s place often. He would’ve seen the car and Doc’s progress. It turns out he had a secret lab where he was able to build the time machine.
