Wolverine vs Wonder Woman

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009


In celebration of the new Wolverine Origins movie, we thought we’d take a moment to write our own little story about a chance encounter between Wonder Woman and Wolverine. It was submitted by one of our new interns. Let us know if we should keep the guy or let him go.

Wolverine vs Wonder Woman

Wolverine vs Wonder Woman

Ever since 1959, when the 14th Dalai Lama fled Tibet, it’s been an invitation for Hydra forces to come in and set up shop amidst the confusion and contested powers between China and India.   It’s been three weeks since I’ve stumbled on a trail of (now dead) Hydra troops that led me to Leh, a po-dunk, back-water, dirt-hole of a town in a tucked away corner of Tibet, now India.  Keep ‘em poor and they’re easy to overrun.

Aside from an infuriating 12-hour taxi drive that would have tried a friggin’ Tibetan Monk’s patience, I also had to deal with a lack of public restrooms the entire trip.  That, and the fact that the roadside tea houses didn’t serve any beer or sake had me itchin’ for a scrap with some Hydra goons.

Hydra scent was easy enough to follow, since they continued to live off burgers and “freedom fries,” while the locals ate their spicy momos-dumpling stew with noodles.  The burger diet made the Hydra stench stand out like a frigging sore thumb though, but I can’t blame the Hydra lemmings too much, those momos-dumplings are damn good, but they’re hell on the colon, even my healing factor can’t stand up against the Indian version of Montezuma’s revenge.  Another reason why I was madder than a wet hen when I got out of that damn cab.

After interrogating a local goat butcher, who had three Hydra goons in the back room, the trail led me to Pangong Lake.  It’s one of those freezing, high altitude ponds that nobody in their right mind has any business visiting.  Just like this little town, little lake Pangong sits right on the border of China and India, convenient location between two countries that could care less. Hydra works the locals, keeping under the Avenger’s radar while they can still build their operations undetected.

Three hours of walking around the frozen lake paid off with lady luck unfolding a hidden doorway into the mountain.  It’d be just like Frodo and Gandalf, right before having their clocks cleaned in Mordor, except here I got me at least six guards with AKs, all with their thumbs up their butts.  Looks like it’s their lunch break, since there’s a local Tibetan boy delivering pepperoni pizza.  hrmm…  I could go for some of that right now.  I wonder if they got any calzone too. Friggin’ colon’s killing me, need to speed this up and use whatever toilet they got inside.

Nothing makes an irritable bowel feel better than taking out a bunch of Hydra pukes…that and a pepperoni pizza. After the delivery boy leaves, I creep up and make the drop on them from the rock ledge above their heads.

“Is that pizza I smell, Bub!?”

They’re taken completely off guard. The closest one, with both hands busy shoveling a slice of pizza into his pie hole wets himself. He’s also the first to go. I kick into gear, no need in letting them have a chance to alert their backup. I take out two more while the others scramble to grab their weapons, that are stupidly leaning up against a far wall. They’re all gonners in no time. I might be the best at killing, but only a psychopath enjoys it. I only partially enjoy it when I know they’re guilty as sin. And these hooded pukes are guiltier than a dirty politician in Chicago.

After taking out the Hydra pukes, I grab their pizza box, bingo… calzone… mmmmm, and head towards the control panel that opens the steel doors, seeing if I can spot a john anywhere close by. I push the big green button, when suddenly a freight train connects with the back of my skull slamming me against the doors.

Nobody told me Hulk was anywhere near Tibet.

I must have blacked out, I never black out, because I’m now on my back, expecting to see the Hulk standing over me, eating my pizza. Instead, what I see is a tall glass of water, near close to six foot, perfectly proportioned, brunette wearing some star spangled swim trunks red boots and red corset, the kind you see in those lingerie magazines…. probably a D cup. Hulk’s no where to be seen. I must be losing my touch to let a girl in skives get the drop on me.  Definitely has powers. …. Good!

I drag myself to my feet, giving my system time to heal the internal bleeding in my cerebellum.

I take it you’re the dame who hit me! Making me drop my calzone! Looks like Papa’s gonna spank if you try it again, sister.”

“You just murdered eight men. None of them fired their weapons, hardly a case of self-defense. I’m delivering you to the local authorities so you can stand trial.”

“Who the hell are you? Mother Teresa? .. Or a Hooker, judgin’by that skimpy lil’…”

I didn’t even see the next punch coming; yeah… she was that fast.  It wasn’t even a punch, she actually mule kicked me in the throat. Nobody mule kicks me in the throat and lives to tell about it. Hydra can wait cause this stripper’s just royally pissed me off and opened a whole case of whoop-ass!

Listen sister!” I barely get the words out, as I’m trying to heal my throat from her kick, Jesus that hurt… and I thought I knew pain. “These bubs are mindless savages… they’re Hydra. Look at their uniforms. What Tibetan rock’ve you been sitting under to not even know the bad guys when you see them? So step back and go get a manicure or brow waxin’ I have work to do.”

I grab a slice of pepperoni, tuck the pizza box under my other arm and turn to head into the Hydra complex, still rubbing my throat, hoping my larynx isn’t permanently damaged. Gotta remember to see Doc Strange when I get back.  Clock’s still ticking, and my colon’s screamin’ louder. Better locate the restroom before dropping the bomb… Hehe, I’ll be dropping a bomb here in a second if I don’t find that restroom quick. Not a good first impression to leave on some doo-gooder-hero-wannabe, especially since she’s pretty cute.

The freight train comes around for a second pass. Lucky me.

I wake up 200 feet in the Hydra complex, spilling a red Folgers coffee can, that the local Hydra goons were using as a spittoon, all over my outfit. Gross! I hate other bub’s chew spooge. I lose it. Everything goes RED! Looks like big sis is getting a Logan spankin’ after all!

I draw down, SNIKT!” and lunge for li’l princess’s throat. Whoever she is, she’s more than proved she can take care of herself, which means, as Ben would say, “It’s Clobberin’ Time!” But I don’t clobber ‘em. I bleed ‘em.  Tall dark and dangerous is goin’ down! First her, then Hydra, then I finish my friggin’ pizza before it gets cold. … on second thought.. first her, then the john, then Hydra.

Wonder Woman vs Wolverine

Wonder Woman vs Wolverine

And to think, my meditation in the Tibetan monastery was to relax my nerves, and calm my spirit, I find another masked fiend in such close proximity.  I’ve never seen someone so bloodthirsty. This little man just murdered eight men with claws that extend from his wrists. And after taking two of my own punches, he manages to still charge at me…  and is that chewed tobacco spit on his face? Gross!

He attacks with a ferocity unlike any I’ve encountered before…. such speed… obviously an agent of Ares.

He swings at me with his claws in a maelstrom of sharpened death.  I block the first three dozen of his strikes, but I was not fast enough to evade his 37th as one of his claws grazed my arm, actually slicing through my flesh.  It is a specially honed blade, indeed, to cut into my skin. I’d best be extremely wary of this one. I continue to block the rest of this feral creature’s assaults, deflecting with my bracers; having been wrought from Zeus’s shield, by Hephaestus himself, they are indestructible.

He is a tenacious little fiend, I’ll grant him that, a veritable animal… not unlike a wild… rabid badger.  By Hera! He is causing me to loose ground, forcing me back with his tsunami of attacks!  I need to end this now!

I dodge seven more swipes, feint a strike to set him up, and with the speed of Hermes I quickly secure both his wrists, careful to avoid his blades, and follow through with a kick to his chest, a strong one this time.  My aim and force are off as I only meant to send him back a hundred feet, I accidentally vault him high into the air… really high.  During his decent, I unleash my Lariat of Hestia, also forged by god-friend Hephaestus, of Gaea’s golden girdle, and lasso the little troll securely, giving a strong pull, forcing his decent at breakneck speed, right into my final punch. I believe Hercules referred to it as a “hay-maker.”

Hail Hydra

Hail Hydra

He screams in rage as he approaches Earth at astonishing speed. I strike him with a terrific right cross as he sails into the air yet again. By the gods, he has a skull that is beyond dense. I have already broken three nails! I pull on my lariat once again, reeling him in, not unlike an Earth child’s toy paddle and ball. This time, I back hand him with a blow that would have felled an oak, saving my nails in the process, yet still stinging my own hand greatly. By HERA, he must have a jaw of metal…I nearly broke my fingers on that last blow!

My last strike flings the mongrel into the complex yet again, setting off the alarms. More masked men come from deep within within the chamber as I approach.

I yell at them to stay put and not proceed further or they will be harmed.  I need to find out what is really going on and if this masked creetin’s words are true or not.

The green clad men respond by opening fire on me with their assault weapons. The little badger was true to his word, these men are up to no good and need to be put down fast.  I begin the ritual of deflecting their bullets.

… Is that pizza I smell? And after three weeks under a Tibetan rock….

Star Trek Premieres in Austin, Texas

Star Trek - A Really Pissed Spock (Zachary Quinto) Executing The Vulcan Choke Hold

Star Trek - A Really Pissed Spock (Zachary Quinto) Executing The Vulcan Choke Hold

Surprise, surprise. Last night the infamous hoax screening of Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan occurred at the Alamo Drafthouse. People were all ready to wath KHAAAAAN, along with a 10 minute screening of the J.J. Abrams’ new Star Trek movie!

For those that were there, security seemed extraordinarily high. … hurmmmm… Must be residual paranoia from the early on-line release of the Wolverine Origins movie. Ooops! So, the movie starts, the famous score plays, giant blue space-age letters announcing the movie Wrath of Khan.

…. and right when the Kobeyashi Maru was starting to roll, a green scratch ran down the screen, signifying that this is a restored print. White specks and more scratches along with fuzzy sounds and blurs. Then the classic 1970s movie house faux pau occurs where the frame splits, and the audience sees the top of the frame on the bottom portion of the screen and the bottom portion of the frame at the top of the screen, with that black band in the middle, as if the film guy up above bumped the “screen projector.” Ooops!

Then! The ultimate occurred. The film actually burned, melted from the center out. The owner of the Alamo Drafthouse came out, apologized and promised to rectify the situation. The writers of the new Star Trek film were then asked to answer questions for the audience. One of the writers did a vocal impression of the TV series original theme song. And then… something spectacular happened. …

Star Trek: Star Ship Getting The Crap Kicked Out Of It

Star Trek: Star Ship Getting The Crap Kicked Out Of It

Leonard Nimoy appeared. Everyone goes nuts, hooting and hollering. He teased the audience, reminding them that Australia was going to watch the premiere of the movie and that they only had 10 minutes. After a little more tongue in cheek, Nimoy announced that they were, in fact, going to watch the new movie. The audience goes nuts again.

Did the movie live up to expectations? … Apparently so! More than so. Word on the street is that it’s “Incredible,” “Spectacular,” and “a Must See.” This is not your ordinary run-a-the-mill Star Trek. No, in fact, it’s an entire reboot of the series with a financial budget that allowing for cutting edge special effects and big name talent. This movie honors the series, adhering and expanding upon what the original actors brought to the screen. It has managed to capture the heart and soul of the original series along with breathing a breath of fiery, fresh life into the characters without straying from their original conception. This film ROCKS!

Star Trek: Awesome Baddy, Nero (Eric Bana(The Hulk)) On Screen

Star Trek: Awesome Baddy, Nero (Eric Bana(The Hulk)) On Screen

Everything about this film is awesome. Captain Pike (Bruce Greenwood) is there(1, 2), you remember, the comatose guy in the black wheel chair with blinking lights. And the new villain Nero (Eric Bana) simply rocks the house with his menacing demeanor.

And the new cast? Zachary Quinto‘s Spock is right on the money. He IS Spock. Chris Pine did an excellent Kirk without resorting to the stereotypical stop-speak imitation of William Shatner’s Kirk. Simon Pegg as Scotty was right on the money as well, and funny. Karl Urban was a perfect Bones McCoy.

At the end of the film Nimoy speaks again. The film simply ROCKS. I Cannot wait to see it. And you know what… they’re working on the second film.

Spidey Shirt For Me!

Spidey Shirt For Me!

Seriously, I just got me this new Spidey shirt, which I totally love, and got my wife the new Obama chick shirt, which she was so happy she almost peed her pants .

I also snagged our newest Batman 3D belt buckle, which my wife said looked amazingly (and surprisingly) sexy. I swear to god, I don’t get into the bling, but this buckle was way worth the money. I absolutely love it.

Cool Ass Belt Buckle For Me Too, With One Of Our New Belts

Cool Ass Belt Buckle For Me Too, With One Of Our New Belts

Now I can wear my t-shirts slightly tucked in but with the rest of the shirt hanging out, showing off my belt buckle, so it looks like I “accidentally” got dressed with complete disregard to my appearance and people still get to see my buckle without me bringing attention to it.

“Hey man, cool Batman buckle.”
“What? …. oh, did I wear that today? .. Oh yeah, this ol’ thing. Yeah, thanks. I forgot I was wearing it.”

… I got that idea from American Idol. Watching all those good looking metrosexuals wearing stupidly cool Abercrombie stuff, showing off their buckles “on accident.” … I thought it was a good idea so I tried it. … it works.

My NEW BELT!

My NEW BELT!

I also snagged one of our brand new belts that we are now selling with the buckles. I was almost as excited over the damn belt, as much so as I was over the buckle, since I needed a new one, the other one was on it’s last leg. See, I never see this stuff since I’m way on the other side of the friggin’ continent and the warehouse is out in Pennsylvania where we hire a ton of illegals real cheap to do all the work.

They’re way awesome. We pay them in tacos and pesos and afterwards… they do the dishes! Totally cool. I love my cousins! “Come one esee, work faster Holmes.”
