When I first read through those issues I had to laugh at the absolute lack of consistency. Once the first impossible issue hit, continuity went out the door. Every issue was just another wild ride. It’s part of the charm of reading them.

nuuninuunani · June 22, 2022, 12:19am

Very true~ The era was pretty wild, though lacking painfully in continuity and consistency, it made for some fair variety.

Favorite panels of mine from that era include…

A benign scientist with ambitions to better the world through his scientific invention. Professor Chemico was continuously inventing things like a long long lasting energy source, weather machines, and other such wonders.

However while Professor Chemico strives to better the world through through his scientific endeavors, he would not always look at the whole picture when barreling ahead, often bringing about unintended consequences with his efforts.

Were that not enough, Professor Chemico while knowing dozens of ways to better the world, knew hundreds of ways of ending it. With numerous methods of bringing about the end of the world such as a formula which would cause all of the worlds oxygen to ignite in an instant.

Great stuff here! That was actually a pretty good plot line.

I put all of my favorite panels in this thread. There are a lot of them!

Angel212 · June 22, 2022, 9:46pm

From the upcoming Multiversus game:

So Diana will be a tank…who can also throw tanks?

I will try this game for sure since she is in it. I don’t tend to like “team” fighting games since I will have to choose 2+ mains rather than just one (obviously Wonder Woman would be my one). I also have a dim view of “free-to-play” games since in reality they are usually free-to-start, pay-for-the-full-experience.

Still, it has Diana, so I’ll give it a shot.

ah, i didnt know there was a thread for that sort of thing :o

I have been bingeing this youtube channel called batinthesun that has live action battles between comic characters. This one is by far my favorite: Wonder Woman versus Wolverine.

Basically, they start by interviewing people at a comic con as to who would win the fight, then the voting tally determines the outcome. In this case, it was so close that they filmed an alternate ending so that there is a video where each character wins.

Original ending: WONDER WOMAN vs WOLVERINE - Super Power Beat Down (Episode 20) - YouTube

Alternate ending: WONDER WOMAN vs WOLVERINE - ALTERNATE ENDING - Super Power Beat Down - YouTube

Who wins in each video: Wonder Woman wins the first one, Wolverine wins the alternate one.

Warning: Violence, blood, death.

The second one also has an extended intro scene and is worth watching for that.

The actress who plays Wonder Woman is fantastic. It is hard to believe that a youtube channel was able to put these together.

Noting how the surrounding buildings were apartment complexes, Camille touched upon an idea and opened her home for rent. With twenty rooms, she would rent out a room per tennant. Fully furnished. Shared access of the kitchen for everyone. She would have a home filled with people to socialize with and make enough money to continue affording the place to boot.

But while Camille has grown older she has not lost her touch. For should anyone try messing with the tennants of that old manor house, they would answer to her.

I was watching a demo on this w/ Wonder Woman last week! She looks like she’s going to be a really fun character in gameplay.
