OTMT8: The "Ocho" - If It's Almost a Topic, We've Got It Here!

I could guess that by her reaction to "You need to be taught by the Spider"
Did she ask if that was Spider-Woman?

No. They said that she must be "trained by the spider" and Hope just went "Say what now?" (Cut to Spider-Man later asking "Say what now?")

And in Secret War he was repeatedly resurrected to fight cosmic powered Doom

And he led the charge against Norman Osborn in Siege. Led the charge against The Serpent in Fear Itself. Was seen as the leader of the Avengers in Avengers vs. X-Men.

The reason I am saying Captain America is "the hero" in the Marvel Universe is because he's treated as "the hero" of the Marvel Universe.

The other possible Golden Age contenders have marks against them.

Namor is... Namor.

And Jim Hammond fell from prominence a long time ago.

(And most of the other Golden Age Timely characters never hit anywhere near as high as these three.)

Wow, I really need that comic

I never heard of anyone else from the Golden age besides The Angel (Cap, Namor, Torch & Toro aside), and I barely heard of him later

Besides Cap, Bucky, Namor, Torch and Toro, most of the Golden Age guys are somewhat obscure now. Many of their names were reused by more modern characters like Angel, Vision, Patriot, Black Widow and scores of others.

The hero of the Marvel Universe is Captain America. After all, he got that big moment in Infinity Gauntlet where he was the last man standing and he STILL told Thanos off.

Oh, I get that. Even Spidey will acknowledge that Cap is like a god among men, but that doesn't mean Spidey doesn't have anything to teach. Nor does it mean he's not a real hero. Spidey's been a super hero since he was sixteen. He's got oodles of experience!

I've always liked THE FIERY MASK!!! Now there's a REAL hero!

15. And agreed.

I recently read JMS's The Twelve. So some of those old guys are on my mind.

And despite what a goof he is, "Blue Blade" is actually kind of a cool name.

(A shame that nobody has picked up anything from the mini now that it's wrapped up.)

15 or 16 is pretty controversial
I agree about what he has to teach

I've always liked THE FIERY MASK!!! Now there's a REAL hero!

Wow, Golden Age strips loved to say "Follow The Amazing Adventures of......"
Everyone was Amazing until Spidey came in

Just read about this on another board. Pwned, or whatever it is the kids are saying these days.

[Mister Mets]

Senator Daniel Inouye passed away today due to complications from respiratory surgery.

Whatever you think of his politics, he had a truly impressive military record.

And by truly impressive, I mean that it could be a hell of an action film without any changes to the truth.

Youtube celebrates Gangnam Style?
WTF is wrong there? Must have something to do with all the views that video had before Dec 21st

[EuphemismForSex]

Youtube's new lay out is what's wrong. Only 29 more million views for that video to reach a billion.

On a completely unrelated note... My roommate asked to borrow textbook so I told him to just look for it. Instead he found a pair of handcuffs and I was like "shit this is going to get awkward" in my head, but he didn't say anything and kept looking, which was a relief. Then he found another pair of handcuffs and asked me why I had them. There was a long awkward pause before I shrugged and said "iunno" and he just left, saying he'll borrow the book from someone else. Probably the most awkward moment I've had in a long time.

There's no LAAAWW against preferring Stallone's Judge Dredd to Urban's Dredd film, right?

Yes, there is. You should be Sectioned under The Mental Health Act.
