Top 5: Questions you've always wanted to ask the Multiple Man but were afraid to

It's been awhile I know, I just haven't been feeling the whole blogging thing lately and figured I'd take a break.
For me these days it's all about posting when I feel I actually have something to say or am inspired to create and showcase something rather than just posting just to fill some imaginary quota I feel I should be filling.
Don't worry I'm good, just not feeling under the gun to post as much is all.

That being said, here's a list of the Top 5 questions I think we've all wanted to ask Jamie Maddrox, a.k.a. The Multiple Man, but maybe were just afraid to. Well, now you can, or at least I have for you.

I asked and found some random Twitter users to send in their questions for Jamie, and I picked the top 5 ones I liked the best.

Let's see how it went shall we?

                                                    

                                           

Well damn, that sure got nasty quick didn't it?

I guess it's safe to say he's not coming back to answer any more questions anytime soon.

RIP Keith Flint and Luke Perry

So yesterday I found out that the front man for 90's British Electronic dance group The Prodigy, Keith Flint, died.

Apparently he was found dead at his home Monday morning due to committing suicide.
It's still too early to tell why he did what he did, but it definitely sucks for all of the band's fans and the music world in general. I know the band was supposed to tour here in the states in May, with one of the stops being in Charlotte, NC,  which is only 2 hours and some change away from me.

He was only 49.

Like most, I remember The Prodigy's main hit songs like "Smack My Bitch Up", "Firestarter", and "Breathe", especially the music videos that went with them. And while the 90's was the band's main heyday, they were still stayed around, touring and continuing to make music.
I imagine this is it for the band, unless they decide to continue on without Flint, which I don't see happening, but I could be wrong.

Then later yesterday afternoon news was making the rounds that actor Luke Perry, famously linked with 90's hit show 90210, died over the previous weekend due to a stroke.

He was only 52, and still actively acting, playing the dad to Archie Andrews on the CW show Riverdale.

I, like many others probably due, will always remember him as Dylan McKay from 90210, a role he's best-remembered for despite going on to act in other shows and movies. Damn shame man.

2019 is NOT fucking around when it comes to celebrity deaths.....

Punishing bugs with the greatest of ease

Just found this mock ad in the 1992 edition of Marvel Swimsuit Illustrated and it's pretty amusing if I do say so myself.

Makes you wonder doesn't it, if Frank treats bugs/pests like he does the criminals he kills. Does he stake out there hideouts and write entire little war journals about them? Does he set up elaborate death-traps to torture and maim them before killing them, or does he go straight for the kill because he's got REAL scum to kill?

Makes you wonder doesn't it? What's Frank's prefered method of killing bugs?

Dream Waves: Infinity War Doppelgangers

Hey people, what's up?

Just wanted to say very quickly, that even though yesterday was national Veterans' Day, our vets and their families should be honored and respected all year round, not just one day out of the year. You know, like Christmas.

So with that in mind, I just wanted to say to. all the men and women currently serving in the armed forces and those that have served in the past, thank you for your service.

I mentioned this on Twitter yesterday (Yes I'm on Twitter in case you guys don't already know, so come @me bro) about how fascinated I was by the concept of those evil doppelgangers from the original Infinity War, you know, Jim Starlin's sequel to that previous year's mega-hit, The Infinity Gauntlet.

Really good story aside, the whole evil doppelganger thing was what truly hooked me as a reader and stoked my imagination. Truthfully there's nothing deeper there than that.  So around that time when playing with my figures, I'd imagine them fighting their various evil counterparts.

I mean how cool would it be if Hasbro actually created a line/wave of evil doppelganger figures?

I think the idea has legs depending on the characters that are made and if they'd have a wide enough appeal to consumers.  So with that in mind, today I'm presenting my idea for how I'd put out said line of figures.

ML Infinity Doppelganger Wave 1:


1). Captain America Doppelganger


2). Hellspawn (Daredevil)



3). Hawkeye Doppelganger


4). Mr. Fantastic Doppelganger 

5). Iron Man Doppelganger


6). The Thing Doppelganger 



7). Wolverine Doppelganger



BAF: Doppelganger (Spider-Man)



Now I choose those particular 8 because they had the best overall designs as far as evil doppelgangers go. The rest were pretty generic-looking overall, so I picked the best of the worst and there we are.

But wait, there's more!

Let's go a step further....

Remember Rick Remender's run on Secret Avengers?

Remember the Avengers of Earth-666, the Avengers of the Undead?

    How cool would it be to have action figures based off those guys!?

I know I'd be down to own figures like these. Who's with me?

Dream Waves: Cyberforce

Another day, another edition of Dream Waves, where I present to you oh faithful, loyal reader, how I would layout and distribute my ideal waves/lines of action figures based off certain comic book properties.

This time around it's Marc Silvestri's turn, as I highlight what I'd do if I could put out a line of figures based off his X-Men homage/rip-off team, Cyberforce.

Yes dear friends, much like  Jim Lee's WildC.A.T.S. were created to take advantage of the enormous popularity of the Uncanny X-Men back then, as well as being a former artist for said franchise, so did another former X-Men artist in Silvestri create his own version of the X-Men for him to play with.

I mean look at them, how do they NOT look like knock-offs the real thing?

But hey, it's not like I didn't collect those knock-offs back in the day. I sure did. In fact one of my fondest memories is of buying Cyberforce#1 right off the old spinner rack at the local grocery store, Keen's, when I lived in Vero Beach, Florida back in the early 90's.

I collected them for awhile before dropping off, and started picking up other Top Cow titles instead.

After hanging around until the end of the 90's Cyberforce disappeared with the overwhelming popularity of other Top Cow creations such as Witchblade, The Darkness, and Aphrodite IX. 



But they've recently had a revival of sorts for this new era, being slightly redesigned and repackaged for a whole new audience.


What I'll focus on today mostly, is their original looks, although I don't see why I can't throw one or two of the new designs in there for kicks.


Let's get to it shall we?


Cyberforce Wave 1:


1). Heatwave


2). Ballistic


3). Velocity 


4). Ripclaw 


5). Cyblade 


6). Stryker


7).


BAF: Impact 



Cyberforce Wave 2:


1). Velocity (Modern)


2). Heatwave (Modern)

 3). Ares Prime



4). Misery

 5). Killjoy 
 

6). Barricade

7). Aphrodite V 

 BAF: Buzzcut 


At first I was going to leave out this Ares Prime guy, but the accompanying scene where he calls all those S.H.O.C. troopers pussies won me over.

I did include other new additions like Aphrodite V and Barricade.

So, that's my list, did I do good papa? Did I? ;)
