l-dopa welcomes cauley to our decreasingly exclusive order

February 16th, 2006

Apparently, Cyclops' eye beams are magnetic?

If Cauley were to be an X-Men character, he would obviously be Acidroid.

In case any of you are wondering, if I were an X-Man I’d be Captain Boomerang.

    Thanks, but I always figured myself for non-mutant sidekick status. Nomad with “big bones” and a pinch of melanin. Wait, is that Falcon?
    I know: lovechild of Power Man and Iron Fist. Cloak and Dagger? Oh, shit!
    Guess who flouted the “THIS MAGAZINE RACK IS NOT A LIBRARY” rule.
    ps. Thanks for the procrastination help and introduction.

    Nomad.

    Man.

    Nomad and Captain Boomerang, together at last. That’s a Giant-Sized Alternate Universe Crossover that no one would remember.

    They could fight it out with Power Man and Iron Fist for “best” salt-n-peppa duo.
    I love the idea of B-level heroes/villains getting together. It’s a little like watching super-serious corporate softball league guys, that is, funny and a little bit sad.

    I had a character in an RPG once named Captain Cowboy. He was an ex-villain of The Flash. His roommate was the Weather Wizard. Captain Cowboy hadn’t quite figured out that the Weather Wizard was gay.

    In fact The Flash has a huge roster of the most laughable supervillains imaginable.

    I mean, Captain Boomerang’s backstory is that he was a … boomerang salesman!

    Have they gathered together Grant Morrison’s run on Animal Man yet? That was one of my favorite takes on Capt. Boomerang. Or was it Mirror Master? I think it was Mirror Master.

  6. Joshua says:

    I think so. I’m pretty sure Animal Man is all paperbacked up.

    Oh, hey! Captain Boomerang gay fanfic!

    … and since we’re on a roll here, it turns out the X-Men are gay too!

    If it’s not Cerebus, I just don’t care.
