Comics are known for some wacky stuff, from traps, to superpowers. What are some of your favorite, ridiculous items, powers, or contraptions that you’ve seen/read in the DC multiverse?
Caca Poo Poo
- Brian Michael Bendis
Justice League America #37
Where else will you hear “Hey, that’s a cat!” “Oh you noticed that did you?” Or “Shouldn’t we do something?” “Guy is constantly reminding us that he’s America’s GREATEST Super-Hero. I’m sure he can handle something as simple as a cat.” “He doesn’t seem to be handling it very well.” “No. He doesn’t```
does he?” “We can’t just stand here!” “I assure you Fire–If I think that cat is in even the SLIGHTEST danger-- I’ll intervene immediately!”
probably this…
Killing Wally West two years after bringing Wally West back.
Poor Wally
Batman knocking out guy gardner and everyone in the rooms reaction to it
This isn’t DC, but a DAMN good book is “I Hate Fairyland” by artist Scottie Young.
The silliest super-hero name and power has got to be Matter Eater Lad. And he comes from the planet Bismol (as in Pepto-Bismol). I love the silly silver age stuff.
Batman puking over a toilet cause Bendis thinks he is funny.
Green Arrow’s old Trick Arrows (Boxing Glove anyone?), Red Robin’s New 52 wing/cape, Comet the Super Horse.
I know this is DCU but the first thing that popped in my head was a page in Spider-Man/Deadpool #20. That series has me actually laughing out loud constantly. But so what happened was Spidey told Deadpool to wait outside to make sure it wasn’t a trap while he went inside to protect the woman. Deadpool says he needs to check inside for the trap while he’s waiting. Then it breaks to Spidey inside for almost a whole page after so you almost forgot Deadpool was about to come in. Then next thing you know he crashes thru the window and said “Look Spidey I’m a baseball!!” I guess it just threw me off but that was so funny to me I had to close the book
Don’t forget mind reading arrows! Or bat cow/ape/hound/cat/also hound.
This speech bubble, but really just the first sentence by itself is the best sentence ever written.
I can’t believe that society fell apart.
Cat arrow
Non-DCU, but Cerebus the Aardvark was great. “Mind you manners, Son! I’ve got a tall pointy hat! Status, Boy! You can argue with me, but you can’t argue with status!”
I haven’t read it, but I hear there’s a new comic with Batman’s penis. Seriously, how ridiculous can you get?
I didn’t read it myself, but I heard of it and it was bonkers. The story is in Worlds Finest Vol 1 Issue # 128. “The Power that Transformed Batman.” Between Batman becoming elongated, flying, & shooting eye beams that cause concrete to foam. Then becomes some kind of Buzzsaw shape that cuts thru everything he comes in contact with, it’s definitely out there. With Superman & Robin trying to help him & Red Kryptonite being involved, it’s its own unique lol Of course it was 1962 lol
52, all of it.
Any Batman vs a new god story. Just stupid. Batman is and should always be a ground level charecter. Not fighting Darkseid. Stupid.
