Gypsy Moth's now going by the name Skein (and was also in Thunderbolts).
As for why Graviton got Zzzaxxx instead of Magneto -- maybe Magneto was busy that day. Or maybe Graviton was concerned he'd be too hard to handle, compared to the relatively simple-minded Zzzaxxx.

I see 'em sorta like Hero points in Mutants & Masterminds -- you start off with a few, and once spent, they're gone. Doing heroic deeds nets you more.

Oh, and Hawkirl isn't solidly Earth-based. In current continuity, she's a reincarnation of one of her human ancestors (just like Hawkman), but their line of ancestors is forced to reincarnate due to exposure to the Nth Metal Drive of a Thanagarian spacecraft.
(I do believe Hawkman & Hawkgirl have the most convoluted history/continuity of anyone in comics.)

Doom does (or did) often carry a handgun on him (a C 96 "Broomhandle" Mauser, but I'm sure he could alter the holster so it'd fit a Walther P 38). And if Megs were to show some fleshling his power, he'd do so in 'bot mode with his fusion cannon :P

They have to be "Super hero related." It's somewhat open to interpretation -- I'd say the folks who draw and write super hero tales are related to the heroes themselves. Ultimately, though, it's up to Stormwolf.

A type of storytelling characterized by a strong emphasis on visuals or character interaction, and usually resulting in slow-moving plots. Brian Michael Bendis & Mark Bagley do it a lot. Detractors accuse their writers of unnecessarily stretching out the page length of plots, thinning out the content per page in order to earn more sales and money for a limited amount of work; defenders of t

Giffen rants about Storytelling Decompression in his latest column.

Decompressed comics.
Or, if you prefer, decompressed storytelling. Can someone please explain this to me? Because I've been trying to find some legitimacy here and, for the life of me, can't. Call me old school, but lazy is lazy. At close to 3 bucks a pop, I'd think story density would count for somet

Plus, as I've said in other posts, most of DC's Silver Age of comic were written by guys who previously (or concurrently) worked as sci-fi writers for the pulps. Sure, Marvel's got their aliens, but aliens (at least seem to) play a bigger part in DC.
I, personally, would say the bigger difference between Marvel & DC is that DC (overall) tends to focus on characters as icons

Written by Stuart Moore. Art by Tyler Kirkman. Should be on the stands in July.
From what I've heard from people who were at the panel it seems the book is going to be one big pop-corn flick. Also it seems that the writer is trying to write it so that If either Marvel or IDW wanted to, they could reference it and it would be completely in continuity... but at the same time, neither co

But you cannot be culpable if you're not in control of your actions. The entire notion of culpability, of blame/blameworthiness, is tied to freedom of action, freedom of choice, free will, things like that, things mental illnesses infringe upon. It's precisely why courts have distinct levels of culpability ranging from Intentional Act to Reckless Endangerment to Negligence. This is w

No, it's not the end of the story, because whether or not someone committed a crime is not the sole determiner of Guilt/Innocence in the American legal system; extenuating circumstances, like the accused's mental faculty, do apply. It's one of the differences between justice and vengeance, it's been a part of trial law since the times of ancient Greeks, and is why crimes done

In 1989, Marvel released a tie-in to the film Nightmare on Elm Street. Steve Gerber wrote the main stories for the first two issues, which were well received (and the book itself was a nice seller), but the book was pulled after the second issue, with three full issues of material already completed, including stories by writers Buzz Dixon and Peter David. As it turns out, Marvel Preside

Three days (give or take a few hours) has passed with no answer.
The answer: All of the above -- Perry White, the Daily Planet, Jimmy Olsen, Kryptonite, and a superman/Batman team-up -- were all introduced in the Superman radio show before appearing in the comics. (While several comic covers showed both Supes & Bats on the cover together, the first true team-up, where Bats & Supes wor

It's not just whether or not a crime was committed that determines Guilt or Innocence, though. The person's state of mind does factor in, since a person cannot be held accountable for something if they are not responsible or blameworthy for the act. This is a fairly basic tenet of U.S. law -- determining not only whether a person committed a crime, but whether they knew it or not (eit

Just realized, they are writing Movie-Doom exactly like a Marvel Comics character. Thing is, they're writing him like the Mad Thinker -- who is all about stealing Reed's tech for his own use, and is good at taking other's works and combining/improving on them -- not Dr. Doom.

But the law was a crucial component of Civil War. (And of the recent She-Hulk series.)
In a March 2007 interview on Newsrama, Tom Brevoort (Marvel's Executive Editor) addressed the laws and Civil War. To quote:
