You seemed to have mistyped this entire paragraph!
I can only assume you meant:
“Did anyone else notice that Dr. Light has been restored to his classic, sleek, costume (one of the Silver Age’s best!) after adopting a silly “Let’s make him modern by giving him a Firestorm-rip off costume.” (Why was Dr. Light’s head on fire? He’s not Dr. Fire.) look in Green Lantern (and which was used in the “Injustice Gang” storyline)?”
Hey, these are supervillains we’re talking about, here. Some of these guys have been around for sixty years…I think it’s pretty fair to assume that these guys aren’t going to “get better” on their own anytime soon. In fact, if they’re suffering from personality disorders, they can’t get better on their own. They don’t just have a different opinion, they’re insane. They’re sick. And moreover, they’re dangerous. And I’d say that their right to be crazy and violent ends at where the public’s safety begins.
I’m not sure you meant to type “not immoral” there :), but I’m almost tempted to agree with you, here. It is expedient, and practical. And if it’s necessary to keep innocent people from being maimed or killed, I could live with it.
This was thoroughly addressed in the classic Squadron Supreme.
Re Doctor Light
I’ve only seen the new costume in an issue of Harley Quinn. Bring back the fin.
Re The Pregnancy Test
Not having read any of the series, it’s still obvious to me. Doctor Light was distorting the truth. He and Sue actually had consensual sex. He was just one in a long list of supervillians to slip her the old cosmic rod. Tattoed man, the Wizard, the Key, Professor Ivo, Amazo- they’d all been to her bed. Then, she discovered that she was pregnant. Sue thought she could end the pregnancy without Ralph ever knowing. She was wrong. Ralph killed her. When the rage passed, he decided to use his detective skills to hide his guilt and frame somebody else. Will Batman unravel the truth?
Oh, excuse me. I thought we were talking about a literary genre in which characters are killed off and subsequently resurrected on a fairly regular basis.
Apparently, I was mistaken.
Perhaps I should e-mail the mods and ask them to delete my thread asking about comic book heroes who have died and come back to life. :rolleyes:
I give your sarcasm a solid 2 but the Russian judge thinks I’m being far too generous and has given you a solid -9.99. He just doesn’t see your sarcasm being of the quality to earn a full -10.
Good luck in training for the next Snarky Olympics. Where you really lost out on the points was your dismount.
I’m enjoying this thread, and I haven’t even bought a comic in at least a year, much less any issues of Identity Crisis. Of course, I can’t actually go to the local comic book shop and buy any of the issues… since we don’t have a local comic book shop! :mad:
So, I don’t really have anything to contribute to the discussion of Identity Crisis, but I do wish to comment on this…
This scenario would also lead to some superheroes, supervillains, and non-superpowered folk jumping at the chance to make a name for themselves - by killing a major supervillain, or lots of minor ones. Which, in turn, creates more “villains” for the more “moral” heroes to come into conflict with. A decent writer could create some great stories from such a scenario.
