What are the most speechless stories in superhero comics?

The most speechless story in superhero comics, Iron Man becomes a young boy?

Whether it’s Marvel or DC, superhero stories have always been full of adventures, otherwise they wouldn’t be called “superheroes”.

But sometimes we also see very speechless stories in comics, especially in the early comics. At that time, the cartoonists' imaginations were also very strange and they could think of everything. , if I watch it now, I feel particularly speechless. Supergirl is dating a centaur

I always feel that Superman's family has always had a "love curse", that is, in terms of relationships, luck has never been good, except for the relationship between Superman Clark and Lois for so many years. In addition to not bearing fruit, his cousin Supergirl, also known as Supergirl, was not so lucky.

In the 301st issue of "Action Comics", Supergirl met Bill Starr, who was a master of horse riding. In Supergirl's words, he liked horses very much. The two had a very romantic relationship, but Bill was not Bill at all. He was actually Supergirl's pet horse named "Comet", who only became human after being cursed by a magic.

The reversal is here again. The comet is not a comet at all. He is not a horse. He is a half-horse named Byron. He was exiled into space many years ago and became a super strong horse. Magic Pegasus. Byron didn't tell Supergirl his true identity and kept it a secret, so they still dated for a few days. DC's Legion of Super-Heroes actually lives in a human body

In order to expand the lineup, DC's Legion of Super-Heroes comics occasionally have member selection stories, and aspiring superpowers can participate. Many people became official teammates, but the standard for becoming a legionnaire was very high, so more useless characters like Food Boy and Bouncing Boy were generally rejected.

In addition, among the people who came to take the exam, there are countless people with terrible superpowers. For example, there is a guy named "Hand-Handling Boy". His superpower is to take off his own arm, and then Hit someone with this arm. Ha ha ha ha!

Most of the people who are rejected can be regarded as jokes by us, but one of them is different. His ending is more tragic.

The 46th issue of "Secret Origins" not only introduces the hilarious Hands-Down Boy, but also a character called "Fortress Kid" who can transform himself into a giant metal fortress. The members of the Super Legion feel that His ability was useless, so they rejected him, but they were wrong, because then a person who had been rejected before appeared and threatened to delete the memories of all members and blow them up with lasers. At this time, the Fortress boy quickly transformed protected them.

What makes people feel speechless is the next part. The bad guy in the story completely erased the memory of Bastion Kid, leaving his brain blank and unable to transform himself back into human form. The Super Legion found new housing. That's right, it was the Fortress boy, and he had been ignoring him and was still busy decorating the body that was dedicated to protecting them. Young Iron Man

The Iron Man in the comics has always been a bit of a jerk. We cannot deny this, but Tony had a very weird experience when he was a teenager.

The following story may make people speechless, but I have to admire the cartoonist's big brain, but his thoughtfulness.

Young Tony traveled through time and space to the future. Because the older Iron Man was controlled by someone and became a murderer, young Tony came to replace him, but the old Tony finally removed his hand from the young man. He penetrated Tony's chest, then embedded the device on his chest into little Tony's body, and gave him all the Iron Man equipment. Tony Sr. sacrifices himself, but now has a teenage Iron Man to fight the villains.

This wave of operations is really 666!

The story of Iron Man was developed in this way to bring a little new development space to this character and attract younger readers, but it didn’t work. He didn’t buy it when fighting, and it didn’t become popular. The young Tony was He only lasted 8 comics issues before he died again. Later, he was reborn on another version of Earth with the Avengers, the Fantastic Four and others, and a year later, it was restarted again in the ordinary Marvel universe.

Here comes the most speechless part. These two reboots have not completely denied other reincarnations, which means that Iron Man still has the childhood he experienced in three different eras! No wonder he grew up to be an alcoholic!

However.

Isn't Robert Downey Jr.'s contract about to end? Then it seems good to find a little fresh meat to replace him~The universe of Heroes Reborn has become a child's toy

So why did young Tony also die later? Simply put, because "Onslaught", composed of the dark consciousness of Professor X and Magneto, is in danger of destroying the world and feeds on mutant energy, many superheroes are forced to fight and be defeated.

But things are not over yet. The heroes are reborn in an event called "Heroes Reborn".

The story of Heroes Reborn takes place in a world without mutants. Marvel's cartoonists used this to restart many characters. All superheroes were transported to a new micro-universe. This universe It was created by Franklin Richards, the son of Mr. Fantastic and the Invisible Woman, and this child didn't even understand that he had the ability to change reality.

The appearance of this micro-universe is like a toy ball. Richards played with it for two years, and once he was almost eaten by a big crocodile because of his carelessness. Are Broken Star and Longshot a father-son cycle?

Speaking of Broken Star, everyone should be familiar with it. It is the alien in "Deadpool 2" who is better than us earthlings in everything but was blown to death by a helicopter. He said that he came to a planet called Mojo World. . His image in the movie is different from that in the comics. In the comics, he has a mark on one eye.

The story of Iron Man becoming a young man proves that it is not easy to maintain the continuity of comic stories. If it is not done well, it will become very weird and confusing. Speechless, Broken Star is both Longshot's father and his son. It's a paradox, but this kind of "time travel" works!

The mark on the eye is very obvious in the comics but not in the movie

Longshot appeared in early 1985. He is an interdimensional refugee from the Mojoverse universe. In that world, everything All built to satisfy the desires of Mojo, an all-powerful man who rules that planet like a tyrant. Broken Star, which debuted in 1991, also comes from the Mojo world. Both of them come from the world 100 years later, and they not only traveled through dimensions but also through time.

Don’t be too busy and confused, because the mess has just begun.

In 1992, there was a story that Glare, who was also a member of the X-Men with Longshot, was pregnant with his child. This child was Broken Star. In 1995, Miss Glare left. It took a while to come back, but Phoenix Girl Qin Gray said at this time that she could not feel that there was another life in her body. Logically speaking, this meant that the child was either born or aborted.

There is not much information about Longshot, but one thing is very interesting, that is, he is a genetically improved person created by alien scientists. By 2013, Shatterstar was sent back to the world of Mojo, where he provided the genes to transform Longshot and became his "father".

Let’s sort out this father-son cycle. Time is a magical thing. The following paragraph is the key point. When he grew up, Broken Star first erased the memory of his mother’s glare, and then was sent back to the Mojo world to provide genes. , became Longshot's father, and then Longshot appeared, escaped from Mojo, joined the X-Men, fell in love with Glare in the normal universe and gave birth to Broken Star, so this will always be a father-son cycle. Longshot has no parents, he is genetically modified , and his genes come from his son Broken Star, so Long Shot is indeed Broken Star's father, but Broken Star triggered the birth of Long Shot because of time travel.

Comics! Even the timeline is so torturous! Because of Parallax, Green Lantern Hal Jordan killed many people

If you want to choose a superhero who died the most perfectly in DC comics, it is probably the second-generation Flash Barry, because he saved the entire multi-dimensional world universe. If I had to pick the worst player, it would be Hal Jordan.

The most important story is really speechless. The mechanical superman destroyed his hometown of Beach City. In order to rebuild his hometown, he turned against the Green Lantern Corps and collected rings crazily. He wanted to rewrite time. Everyone's face was distorted.

In the end, Hal regained his identity as Green Lantern and sacrificed his life. Only then did we learn that the villain Sinestro had already put the Parallax monster into Hal's body. After his death, he became the ghostly incarnation of "The Wrath of God". He has been fighting for control with the Parallax Monster in his body. In general, he is a big yellow space bug that has been controlling his actions and even slaughtered Hal. companion. Eventually the Parallax monster was removed and everything got better.

Harley Quinn bombs the city

Harley Quinn has always been a very ambiguous character. She is not a superhero, but many people do not think she is a villain. The reason is that she has been manipulated by her love for the Joker and has done many things. Do bad things to please your sweetheart. She did have a time when she completely became a villain, and that was a large-scale city bombing. Without the participation or instigation of the clown, she killed many people, including many children.

After leaving "Task Force The most complete act that made people regard her as a villain was when she distributed dozens of free computer games to people in Gotham City to play, and then watched expressionlessly as these people were blown up to death after her order.

She is destined to be a bad guy. Spider-Man grows bone claws?

Spider-Man's long bone claws may sound ridiculous, but there is indeed such a story in the comics, called "It". I don’t know who came up with the idea, but turning Marvel’s most popular hero Spider-Man into a cosmic-level Spider-God is not just speechless, it’s simply black history.

To put it simply, he came back to life after death and became a spider monster. He was hatched from a cocoon, leaving behind a Peter Parker-shaped shell covered with spiders, and obtained The ability to actually shoot spider webs instead of using some of the original little machines.

There is also the bone claw, that "thorn", it is absolutely amazing! It actually looks a bit harmonious at first glance!

In the end, Peter's powers, including telepathy, returned to normal, and the bone claws and fangs were almost forgotten by everyone. Superman deliberately didn't save Batman's parents?

The "universe concept" of comics actually brings about many problems. For example, why didn't Loki bring Captain Marvel when he was the villain in "Avengers 1"? Or why does Batman have so much trouble catching bad guys? Every time someone escapes from Arkham, Superman should be able to lock them all back in within 2 seconds!

And when Batman’s parents were killed, why didn’t Superman show up? Answer: In fact, he knew it would happen, but he just didn't stop it.

In the 275th issue of "Adventure Comics", Batman's father Thomas Wayne moved his family to Superman's hometown of Smallville due to work reasons and became a doctor in the town. Even at a young age at the time, Bruce was very skilled in fighting crime.

As a child, he must make friends when he arrives in a new place, so he naturally met Superman Clark, who was still young at the time. Clark, the Man of Steel, did not persuade Bruce to give up this kind of love for teenagers. Although he has a very dangerous hobby, he is very happy to cooperate with him.

Because his "time telescope" shows him everything that will happen when Bruce grows up to become Batman. And the death of his family was the catalyst!

This means that Superman actually knows that something bad will happen to his family, and he also senses it, but he is just unwilling to take action, because only if they die will he have a companion in the future.

Afterwards, Superman hypnotized Bruce before he left, erasing the memory of their acquaintance, so that Batman would forget this playmate, and Superman could fully recover from his tragic life. And retreat.
