And their sweet fruit filling." Or something along those lines. My nephew "borrowed" my Spidey-Torch digest a freakin' yer ago and I'm starting to doubt I'll every see it again. See why we don't need more kids getting onto comics? Comic-thievin' badgers! "I remember you mocking the pies. And their sweet fruit filling."

Spider-man: "Worse! They're getting monkey fur on my upholstery!" This exchange reminds me of how fun and goofy bronze age comics could be.

Red Ghost, Crimson Dynamo, Titanium Man, all those guys? I'd have 'em team up. Then take over Russia. Think about it. It was the West's big worry in the wake of the fall of the USSR, that the military would wind up just rolling over everything and Russia would become the world's biggest banana republic. Even now, there's still tons of unrest and the country is teetering on a knife edge because of organized crime, military strongmen, and would-be Presidents for Life trying to assert themselves over the country. Add into that shapeshifting monkeys, guys in power armor, and all the other crazy super-villains we got over the years from the Reds in Marvel history, and dang. That might not just be a storyline, it could be an ongoing series. You know what I'd do with all those old throwback Communist villains? Red Ghost, Crimson Dynamo, Titanium Man, all those guys?

That big-headed Watcher must have looked pretty outre in 1962. But FF# 29 ("It Happened on Yancy Street") was pure Super-Ape splendour, one of my favorite old FFs.

Even the revisionist history and random gratuitous nudity of the Black Panther issues couldn't detract from the awesomeness of the Super-Apes.

It worked. The U-Foes decided to gain superpowers by going up in a rocket like the FF. It worked. Has anyone tried this and it didn't work? Instead of the standard space tourism for billionaires that we have in our world, in the Marvel universe could you pay for a rocket ride without cosmic ray shielding? Has anyone tapped this while I wasn't watching? Red Ghost and crew decided to gain superpowers by going up in a rocket like the FF. It worked.
