It looks great (like all the others are).:D

[Twigglet]

Awesome!

Certainly one of my favorite characters!

[Blackcat]

Hmm, he always sounds so boring and now I've read his history I'm sure: Strong guy is a boring character which should go into Limbo or die.

[Sentinel K]

Strong guy is a GREAT character.

Huzzah!!

Strong Guy is awesome.

Why would you say he's boring?

[Blackcat]

Strong Guy is awesome.

Why would you say he's boring?

Why, because he is in my point of view. You think he's awesome, I think the opposite.

YOU THINK WRONG.

[Huzzah!]

Strong guy is a GREAT character.

Huzzah!!

What?


Oh...wait


i get it


Go Guido. Now he just needs a bull medallion

[Blackcat]

YOU THINK WRONG.


May I point out one of Brian's rules to you:

4. The ol' "Opinion Back and Forth," as in "This is just MY opinion!" "That's just YOUR opinion!" We get it. If you are saying something, it should be understood by everyone that it is your opinion. No need to discuss it further.


Thank you for living up to the rules, Twigglet.

Strogn Guy is very funny. I enjoyed the issue in which he took on the Blob...

Peter David made him funny, when CC created him, he was very much in the same role as he wrote the Geech or whatever his name was, ya know, when x-23 was written into Uncanny.

Thank you for living up to the rules, Twigglet.Wouldn't this mean that you broke the rules, because you're explanation was that it was just your opinion?

I love Guido. My favorite Guido issue was Uncanny X-Men #259. Very cool character.

By the way, I read this a few months ago, so I thought I might share it...

The simple point of the matter is that Guido is based on a number of people I know here in Brooklyn -- literate, well-educated professionals who also (for good and/or ill) happen to speak with a distinctive Brooklyn accent, and in some cases a wealth of creative profanity that precludes their effective depiction even in a Max title, which X-treme is not. The joke was that if you judge him by his accent, you think he's a pleb. If you actually listen, you discover someone who's read the Divine Comedy and the Odyssey in their original tongues.

That's a pretty cool tidbit to know about Strong Guy. I never knew too much about his background before, like his body actually being some sort of deformation. I always thought Guido wasn't the "smartest tool in the shed" but from reading the Uncanny Spotlight, it does seems like he has a smart head on his shoulders.

Just goes to show you why sterotypes are ignorant ways to define a person...

[DoubleShot]

For a character that I always liked I learned a lot more about him by reading that. Forgot most of it so I'll just have to go back and do some reading.

Not such a bad thing to do.

[Jake V]

I like strong guy and all, but I can't get over that his real name is Guido. yes, it's an actual name, but it's also a slur for Italians.

Maybe that was the reason for giving him the name, though.
