Dirty Deeds!

"Dirty Deeds" is a series of threads where a discussion can be held about the morally questionable, or outright evil acts of characters in comics. It might be a discussion about times a hero crossed a moral line they shouldn't have, or a discussion of a villain's most horrific acts in their history, but the premise remains the same.

Where possible, a poll will be included to vote upon said character's "dirtiest deed".

Please do remember that there are no wrong answers, this is all a matter of opinion. Since everyone has a different set of morals, please try and respect differences in people's own beliefs.

Admittedly, there is some bias, what with having the out-of-context picture included.

But I mean, he made a deal with Selene and Blackheart!

He started nailing his best friend's girl!

He was underage drinking, and getting in barfights!

He started soccer riots!

Trouble follows Roberto, to be sure.

Buh´ The drinking underage I can understand (Who hasnt?)... And I have heard that in the states you need to waiy until you are 21... intolerable !!

The deal was for Juliana´s sake, so she could go from "dead" to "in eternal comic Limbo"

I would say hooking up with Tabitha right in front of Sam duh!

Okay, underage drinking? Fine.

But everytime he was underage in a bar, he went and got in a fight with some poor sap. The Asgardian time, he was trying to sleep with wenches, and then showed off by picking up Volstagg.

Really, Sunspot is a poster child for why underage drinking is just wrong. He's not helping anyone's case.

I also voted other for Doug's sake. Roberto just seemed to hate Doug so much.

All I know is that bad things happen when Roberto DaCosta is near either:

a) a soccer ball (there even was one issue X-Force #78-79, I think, where he played a pickup game at a school where Skids was attending, and Reignfire showed up after the game and fried this innocent teammate of his)
b) your girlfriend
c) booze

It's an interesting pattern.

But drinking underage sleeping with wenches and picking up Volstagg are part of his LCH!! (Latino Cultural Heritage) It is what we do !! You can not strip us of that !!

(Actually, the picking up of Volstagg you can let out)

In his defense, he did back out before he actually robbed the place. He knocked in the door, though. Breaking and entering with intent to rob, is more like it.

Still, his whole exit from Xavier's in Fallen Angels #1 after punching out Cannonball over a soccer game, then reading through Xavier's files about him in Magneto/Xavier's office before running away, then getting too hungry on the street and doing this... Roberto doesn't have a halo, to be sure.

If it occured these days I wouldn't be surprised...most males these days (non-soccer players) are insanely built not body builder built but army built even the 14 year olds...the ones on the creatine look obese to be honest.

Man, Roberto had Karma "walking into doors" all over the Xavier institute. No wonder she ran away with the Shadow King and tried to eat her sorrows away, only to one day realize that only women should be allowed to touch her, because men only do so with abuse as their intent.

Still, just thought I'd point out, 'Berto's other talked about deed...

and about the "look, i'm 14" thing... in graphic novel and on, he was said to be 14... before he joined new mutants. then near the beyonder storyline when he ran away or something, the caption said he was a 13 year old boy.... way to de-age him and make him the youngest member of the team when he's clearly not! ugghhh it goes rahne, illyanna, cypher, sunspot, magma, moonstar, cannonball, karma. pretty certain at least.

- Overestimating his strength and nearly dropping a life-support model desperately needed to save refugee Morlocks who were wounded in the Mutant Massacre? (New Mutants (vol. 1) #46)

Wasn't that one just a case of him running out of power at a bad time because he hadn't recharged in a while? Can't really blame him for that one.

Now, you could certainly make a case for kicking over a table of sandwiches Rahne was making for the injured Morlocks (3 pages later). As far as dirty deeds go, that's probably the second worst (most of these aren't that bad, truth be told, but a couple of them are really lame on his part). First would be getting between Tabitha and Sam.
