So, Who Would Win?: Iron Man VS. Lex Luthor

TGIT!!!!!!

Got my swag on pretty hard yesterday.
Ok, maybe not hard, but I did buy three action figures, with there being at least 8 hours separating them apart.... Meaning I made two separate trips to the same store..... In the same day.....At the same unholy corporate spawn of Satan, Wal-Mart.....

First I bought that Superior Venom I had my eye on(and to be fair there was only one left) and Valkyrie. I struggled mightily with that last one, as I really wanted the Tundra figure too. I convinced myself she'd be there later, and went about purchasing the other two.


Then that overwhelming phenomenon that is the Plastic Crack Addiction hit me harder than the the tree that killed Sonny Bono(*Credit to the sexual stud-muffin Joel Gertner for that one) and I went back to Wally World and bought Tundra.

In my defense, I really wanted to build that huge Hulk-Buster figure, and I'm only one figure away from achieving that goal. But alas I have to buy that fucking ugly new Vision figure to do it.

Sigh.

Well, its the first time I was forced to buy figures I didn't want just to complete a build-a-figure.
Looks like this'll be another case of that.

Fuck.....

Plus I'm only two figures away from finishing that kick-ass Rhino BAF, having to buy the ugly original Scarlet Spider figure( He comes with the two Rhino heads, but now my Wal-mart doesn't have him) and either Misty Knight( sadly she comes with a bad case of derp eyes) or the White Tiger.

I guess play Misty for me?

But enough about all that, today we're focusing on this week's edition of So, Who Would Win?, and today's combatants Iron Man and Lex Luthor.

Yessir, its a battle of the billionaires, as Tony Stark and Lex Luthor duke it out to see who's the richest, smartest, and most resourceful bastard out of two comic universes.

Initially there wasn't much separating these two in the personality and ego department, until that fateful day where Tony had a change of heart after almost literally losing his heart in an ironic twist of fate.



After that, Tony decided to mend his ways(sorta) and became more altruistic. So much so that he helped found and fund Earth's mightiest heroes, the Avengers.

Of course of over the years old Tony's reared his ugly head, manifesting itself in alcohol addiction during Civil War and during Axis, when he became the "Superior Iron Man."

But overall, he's still a generally good guy.

Lex Luthor on the other hand has always been a bastard, spending his life and riches in futile attempt after futile attempt to kill Superman ever since he showed up in Metropolis and stole his thunder.

Lex has recently joined the Justice League after the events of Forever Evil, in which he helped save the world from the latest incarnation of the CSA.
I still don't get that one myself, but Geoff Johns apparently has a hard-on for ol' Lex, and figured it'd be fun for Lex to join the same team he's spent almost just as much time destroying as he has Superman.

Whether or not he'll continue to still be a JL member after the events of the Anti-Monitor/Darkseid War has yet to be seen, but as long as Johns is still writing the book, it'll probably stay that way for now.

So, what would a fight between these two rich ego-maniacs look like?
Well for me logically, it'd take place on two fields; the boardroom and the battlefield.

Luthor would try any number of legal and illegal ways to ruin Stark and take over his company, as so many have already tried.

Much like his MU twin, Obadiah Stane, Luthor would probably try to use Tony's past against him, most notably his alcoholism in attempt to put him down permanently.

Plus there;s his numerous inventions and resources.

Stark, just as he usually does, would be forced to build a bigger and better suit of armor, and pull himself out of whatever quagmire Luthor put him in.

So, 

Iron Man

VS.


Lex Luthor

Who Would Win and Why?

As usual, I welcome your thoughts on who'd be the last billionaire standing after this one's all said and done.


Have a good weekend folks......

"Behold...The Great Destroyer"

Yeah, pretty much.

Long story short, Mr. Morbid, got unexpectedly black-out drunk relatively quick off some funnel hits. Hey, it was my first time doing the whole beer bong thing......and it ended about as well as these things tend to do with me. 

Nothing majorly hurt or destroyed(except for my mom's GPS I have to replace now since I lost it:(  )

So yeah, black out drunk. No I don't recommend nor do I think it's super cool, but tends to happen to me sometimes. I didn't even drink that much brah!

I'm just glad even though I woke up in a different set of clothes than I previously wore hours before I left. I'm just glad it mas my place I woke up in, and and not some cheap, crack-motel with a few vital organs missing. Hey, it happens apparently.

Anyways, had a decent time celebrating St. pats this weekend some old friends. 

Hope you guys had fun as well, just safer than mine was;)

Speaking of mind-fucks.......

The End

So yeah, Doom was revealed as the infamous Rabum Alal, the so-called "Great Destroyer", who's birth means death the for the Marvel Multiverse.

Man does Hickman have a lot of 'splaining to do, since this Rabum Alal was supposed to be an original creation, and not an already established character.

Here's a link for further info if you want:

I guess from reading the message boards, Hickman's been building up to the Doom reveal going all the way back to his FF run. Hmmm.

Regardless of where you find yourself on this one, with the new Secret Wars coming up soon, it mkes all kinds of sense for Doom to be involved, mirroring his original inclusion in the first one.

When Superheroes butcher the words to popular lyrics

Hey, we've all been guilty of this from time to time. But still.

See if you can identify the songs and artists being misused.

The End

What's the matter Tony? Not Superior enough for ya?')

Meme Mondays on Thursday

TGIT!!!!!!


So it's Thursday true, but that doesn't mean I can't have a little Meme Monday madness going on today anyways right?

Right.

Because faithful reader Karl requested it, here's more FF Meme fun:

 

 And now for some Batman memes:

Finally, some Iron Man memes:

Have a good/great weekend guys:)

"Once upon a time on the West Coast...."

Oh snap, it's Monday!!!!!
Arrghhhhh!!!!

Ha ha, so how was your Father's Day? Good I hope.

Alright getting straight on to business, here's a little untold tale from the early, early days of the West Coast Avengers.

Enjoy;)

The End

Ah, that Tony....Denial isn't just a river in Egypt buddy;)

Here's some real quick updates before I sign off:

Bought the following figures last Saturday, and for a hell of a deal to:

-ML Vision(1st series)

-ML/Spider-Man line Electro

-NU52 DC Unlimited Batman

I'd been looking forever for a 1st series ML Vision, who's vastly superior to the 2nd one that came out from Hasbro, so I'm happy on that front now.

Likewise, finally buying Electro really goes a long way to complete my Sinister Six collection. Is it weird that both the Vision and Electro share the same color scheme and body buck? I guess not....

Finally I broke down and bought NU52 Batman. Hey it's Batman, and he doesn't look bad. Although the 1st issued one would'be been better, as this one rocks the metallic paint on his body. Hmm

As a freebie, the comic shop owner gave me the Hex movie toy edition of Leliah(Megan Fox). And yes you'll see here soon. How's tomorrow? Soon enough for ya'?

He also gave me a free copy of Scott Snyder/Sean Murphy's newest Vertigo horror mini-series, The Wake.

It's not bad so far, and the art looks really good, but idk, just not my cup of tea so far. We'll see where this 10-issue mini goes.

And that's me,

take it easy people.
