Look out! He's got a NET!!
Hey, Brian Hughes! I like how you shut off the comments on the "Red Hulk's Offensive Line" article to avoid giving an answer to a simple question--an answer which you obviously do not possess. Pretty cowardly way to handle the whole thing. I wonder if you thought that would solve your problem of being held accountable for what you write? I'm thinking it won't.
I'm always amused when the person whining about accountability comes in as an anonymous responder. The term douche comes to mind.
Loeb must be awesome, that's why he's doing so well on Lost...
...oh wait...
(the guy sucks, get over it.
Just as "Paste-Pot Pete" returned as the more dangerous, and slightly less silly "Trapster," so too did "The Asbestos Man" change his gimmick just a bit to return as a more serious, more dangerous, villain.
BEWARE: THE CRIMSON CARCINOMA!!
He lives! He wheezes! He kills!
See, now him, you ran away from.
BLACKLUNG: HIS BREATH IS DEATH!
I'm actually fighting cancer and this shit's funny. Just the laugh I needed.
I'm sorry to hear that, but glad to help if I can. Hang in there buddy, the world needs all the comic book geeks it can get.
Sorry to hear that and best of luck to you.
I never heard of such a funny thing as dissing a low end Marvel villian. Damn you made me laugh.Boy were we dumb to read them back in the 60's..dumb but ahh what silly fun.
