Wow, there are so many of us with interesting stories! This post struck a cord with me too it seems!
I'm also 34! I got into comics as a way of dealing with my Leukemia when I was 5 yrs old. I immediately attached to the Hulk as I too received radiation! In my case it was to help me, but like the Hulk it unlocked a part of me that was full of rage! I wasn't supposed to, but I got in

The whole thing makes me sick. So sick I actually bought some of the books.:X
So what's next, it turns out SHIELD and Tony are Skrulls?! Cause as I said long ago in a forgotten thread, that the tech they have been using to depower and/or place fear in superhumans is far beyond human technology. Only Richards could accurately do such things and it would take him ages or the machines would

Number 2 is Prodigy.
Prodigy is the name used by three fictional characters in the Marvel Universe. The first Prodigy was Spider-Man in disguise, the second has superhuman physical abilities, and the third was a mutant with a superhuman intellect.

I don't really have a stake in posting on this issue, but I think certain retcons are just to inject a sense of evolution. No writer worth reading can rewrite the Surfer'

Lol! Actually, in stories these days writers are dumb! So they de-power villains or write them as flawed so good has an excuse to win. If they win!?

Lol! You are right again Nightmask. I specifically like the art of her done by Art(Arthur) Adams! Mike Zeck does a good Diamondback and Todd McFarlane draws an amazing Mary Jane Watson too!

Well again, so far, I like what Nightmask and Punstarr have to say. I still think Thanos sucks as much as Sentry! Even with all his attributes, he just comes off like a pointless plot device like Doomsday! The real insult is that he would even bother someone like the Silver Surfer and Champion! Champion may be strong, but he's not dumb and he's much older than Thanos so he shouldn'

Always good stuff Nightmask. I see him becoming the reason the SRA is abandoned as it may take multiple heroes/villains, like with Onslaught, to take him down. They may refuse till they have their freedom to act without government say so or knowledge of their identities. One possibility I'd like to see play out. Imagine if Cap was killed here instead, trying to stop the Hulk?!
