Redman II is correct! Dave Cockrum originally created Nightcrawler to be in DC's LoSH, during the time he was transitioning from working at DC to working at Marvel.
Redman, you get to post the next question.

I've a feeling Red skull may actually be planning something like this -- he's got Doom's time machine, and is having Arnim Zola work on it to make sure they can get it to work properly.

Varies from state to state. In Oregon, you can be sent to prison for up to one year and charged up to a $5,000 fine for driving with a suspended license, or up to 5 years & up to $100,000 if driving with a suspended license while intoxicated. In New Jersey, first offense

They could be, though. People get arrested for driving without a license, or with a revoked one.

A further thought. Firearms and vehicle use are licensed, so that they are -- theoretically -- in the hands of proficient and competent owners. Developing a standardized test for a diverse range of powers would be a challenge, but possible. But how would/should the law deal with supers who haven't passed, who either due to genetic/biochemical fluke or mental block, cannot control their po

An EiC does provide direction, yes, the agenda, but it's still not his job to sell the items. That's still wholly marketing, they're the ones who tell consumers why they need their products, and set the prices. And an EiC is also an editor, oversee all the other editors, something not evident in Marvel (is any fact-checking done? How often have things been late? If writers &

On a somewhat related note (related to the recent discussions, not necessarily the overall topic of the thread itself), the Supreme Court ruled today that the severely mentally ill cannot be executed.

No, it's not. It's an EiC's job to edit, to prepare the company titles for presentation via correction, condensation, organization, and similar modifications. Making sure comic books sell is the job of the marketing department.

It shouldn't happen, though. Sure, some of the ancient "continuity" from the Golden Age titles -- back when continuity wasn't even considered -- can be ignored, but things from less than a decade ago certainly shouldn't. It's one reason Quesada's a lousy Editor-in-Chief -- it's an EiC's job to make sure the stories being told fit within the establish

But Strange won't. Iron Man already asked him to, Strange refused. Said something tot he effect of "If I send him away, he'll just come back angrier and stronger. We made this mess, we need to deal with it, here and now."
If being a berserker gives Wolvie a mental shield (an Un/100 one at that, according to the stats on this site), it should work for Hulk, too ;) Honest

Well, I think part of the "powering down when switching to good" thing comes from that fact that comics tend to focus on superheroes, not supervillains. As such, when a Bad Guy switches teams and starts playing with the Good Guys, he gets a lot more "screen time." As such, their abilities are going to be more closely monitored/frequently viewed by the readers, and they'

I think the Doom from the last two Fantastic Four movies is a great portrayal of the Mad Thinker (in terms of personality and motive and method).
