Cypher was a master of translating languages, spoken or written, human or alien in origin, including deciphering codes and computer languages. Cypher’s skills were such that he was once able to make great headway in translating the written language of an extraterrestrial race in a matter of minutes.

wait, which venom? last spider-man comic I read had Eddie Brock as a white anti-venom with scorpion as venom, and there were a couple other venoms, not including the original Eddie Brock venom.  I think it's easier to say every symbiote character in spider-man.

Jimmy motherfucking Olsen, why the fuck is that piece of shit annoying character still alive? I was hoping that the clusterfuck called countdown would end up with his dead but alas, he is still being worthless an uninteresting in the superman books.

Also aunt May, I can't believe that Peter gave up his marriage so that this 100 years old cunt could go fuck JJJ's dad all around the world.

The correct answer is "any characters created by Rob Liefeld."

Cypher’s skills were such that he was once able to make great headway in translating the written language of an extraterrestrial race in a matter of minutes.

And yet they brought the character back what, twice now?  

wait, which venom? last spider-man comic I read had Eddie Brock as a white anti-venom with scorpion as venom, and there were a couple other venoms, not including the original Eddie Brock venom.  I think it's easier to say every symbiote character in spider-man.

When I read that the symbiote had been combined with The Scorpion (the pic ITT is that version), I was like  :wtf?  Turns out there's been multiple venoms over the past decade, and Venom symbiote clones too.  But it's hard to hate on the most-current version of Venom, just because they made him into ASSHOLE SPIDER-MAN.  The mini-series they gave him (The Sinister Spider-Man) was a fun read.

The original, evil Venom was a great Spider-Man villain.  They fucked things up by introducing Carnage and then turning Venom into a good guy/anti-hero.  He should have stayed as a villain.

I love how things posted in this thread end up being so stupid that they become ridiculously awesome.

Gun Head, Squirrel Girl, etc.

Awesome stuff. I'm gonna look these comics up now. Fuck Green Lantern.

Squirrel Girl took out Darkseid, which means Squirrel Girl is as much of a badass as Batman.

I don't think there was anyone the old Legion of Super Heroes would say no to.

My fave shit hero was always Arm Fall Off Boy:



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arm_fall_off_boy

Every time I bring this up in conversation people refuse to believe that this could even exist, but hey, that's The Legion of Substitute Heroes for you. All this stuff was reprinted on the super-cheap in the UK in black and white in huge omnibus editions - it really FELT like you were getting a cheap but crappy imitation of the REAL comic books you guys got in the US, with the X-Men and the Justice League. Good times though.

Slapstick is bascially a Looney Tune character dropped into the Marvel universe, with all the well, slapstick humor that would imply.

ugh.
