The Next Wonder Woman

Friday, July 22nd, 2011
Who's The Next Wonder Woman?

Who's The Next Wonder Woman?

Let’s face it, comic fans are the biggest whiners on the planet. No, really, we are. But, nobody can say that it’s not justified. Especially with all of the recent complaints about the decisions made by writers and directors when it comes to putting our favorite superheroes on screen. The movie industry has a fantastic track record of JUST NOT GETTING IT. Here’s just a couple of examples, bear with me.

emo_peter_parkerSpider-Man: Sam Raimi seems to think (yes, I’m going there, just hold your flame) that not only is it ok to ignore historical canon but it’s also ok to interpret the comics incorrectly and use outdated material. For the last 30 years, the only person who seems to have thought that Peter was still “puny Parker” was Flash Thompson, and of course Sam Raimi. Which is why he cast Tobey Maguire for the role. It’s as if someone gave Raimi, or his casting director, a couple old Steve Ditko (no disrespect intended whatsoever) comics and said, “there’s your Spider-Man boss, we’re off for lunch.”

peter-parker-not-puny

No More Puny!

No! No! NONONONO! Toby’s a great actor, but he isn’t Peter Parker. For those of you who’ve forgotten, Peter grew up to be a freakin’ stud, he just never knew it. THIS, is Peter Parker!* He’s ripped with muscles, can lift a fridge with one hand and a school bus if he really tried. Hell, I’ve even seen him tip a rail car over with one finger!!! “So what! What’s this have to do with casting Wonder Woman?” We’re getting there, we’re getting there hold on. We’re not done b!tching yet.

What else was wrong with the Spider-Man (2002 – 2007) movies? Let’s just say, “lack of adherence to comic canon!” The one major ingredient to the inspired Geek-Rage when hero movies come out. E.g.

  • Organic web-shooters replacing mechanical web-shooters.
  • Finger talons in place of genuine, “don’t-ask-any-questions wall crawling abilities.”
  • Emo Parker.
  • Parker crying.
  • Skinny Eddie Brock! Yes, yes, we know the reason why Raimi picked Topher Grace (which is a fine actor) but Raimi still got it wrong!
  • Venom! Granted, you can’t include the entire Secret Wars story line, but still… Venom has a white symbol, WHITE! *Shakes fist!*
  • Mary JaneJ! MJ is a supermodel. SUPERMODEL! Kirsten Dunst (who’s a fine actress and very cute) simply isn’t a supermodel. (Sorry Kirsten, but neither are we.)

What did Raimi get right?

  • J. Jonah Jameson! J.K. Simmons was perfect!
  • Aunt May/Rosemary Harris and Uncle Ben/Cliff Robertson
  • Doc Ock
  • Gwen Stacy/Bryce Dallas Howard (smoking hot)
  • Betty Brant/Elizabeth Banks
  • And the costume eventually grew on us.

This same … “formula,” violating comic canon, miscast actors, pulling emo out of a writer’s a$$, is systemic. To spare you the details, here’s the nutshell:

The Amazing Spider-Man (2012): spiderman-andrew-garfieldIn the upcoming The Amazing Spider-Man (2012), the costume is completely different, again. I can hear you flamers right now b!tching, “How can you judge the movie when you haven’t even seen it?!?” Shuddup already. Not judging the movie, judging the friggin’ costume. Give it a rest. Continuing on; mechanical web-shooters! That’s right, they can’t win when a comic geek’s complaining. If Raimi was such a damn genius, then we wouldn’t be going back to Peter’s sly inventions now, would we? But we are, and thank god for it, but they look ridiculous! If you want to see what the web-shooters are supposed to look like, click here. What else? Oh yeah, Peter’s parents are not only “back” (as seen in the comics) but apparently are there from the beginning! (which is not in the comics). Yeah, sure, it’s most likely a contrived ploy to fit in with the whole S.H.I.E.L.D. bit, but that’s what we hate, contrived, “square peg/round hole” manipulations to meet the directors ends, not our needs. BAH!

X-Men Origins: Wolverine: What was right? Hugh Jackman. What was wrong? The biggest gripe I can think of right now is Deadpool. Ryan Reynolds is fine, but that piece of garbage that was supposed to be Deadpool… someone should have been fired and shipped to Iraq for making such an idiot move. What In THEE HELL were they thinking? x-men-origins-wolverines-deadpoolAdamantium blades, optic blast, sewn mouth and teleporting without a device (DP uses a mechanical device to teleport. It’s not an organic skill).

superman_returns1Superman Returns: Returns from what?  Give me a break. Brandon Routh looks great, is tall, looks good and even plays a great Clark Kent, but I’m sorry, he’s no Superman. Simply because he’s not massive enough. Superman is huge, big, muscles everywhere. Brandon Routh has an Olympic swimmer’s body; lean, too lean, like a barracuda, and sure he has some muscles, yeah, but even Hugh Jackman had more mass than Routh, and that’s just wrong. What else? Swim suit shorts. BAH! And you just HAD to change the symbol, didn’t you. Had to leave YOUR mark, your signature, pissing on everything, “Singer was here!”

The list goes on, it literally doesn’t stop. Which brings us to Wonder Woman. Who should play Wonder Woman? The key is first figuring out what Wonder Woman is, and what she is not. It’s not that hard, really. All you have to do is open a couple dozen gorram Wonder Woman comic and start reading.

What Is Needed In A Wonder Woman?

A long list of very simple concepts.

  1. Tall – Wonder Woman is 5’11″. At that height there aren’t that many applicants, but at least it screens out all of the shorter women.
  2. Beautiful – Not just beautiful, but drop dead, traffic stopping beautiful.
  3. Exotic – Not your average bombshell from California or Texas, but more of a Mediterranean look, slightly ethnic with olive skin.
  4. Perfectly proportioned – Yeah, sure guys go nuts over the Pamella Anderson type Thunder Boobs look, but Wonder Woman isn’t about that. She’s statuesque, has curves without being ridiculously over endowed.
  5. Has a build – Yeah,sure guys like skinny girls, but Wonder Woman is an Amazon, which means she has muscles. If you were to put a bunch of comic geeks in a room full of Mt. Dew and Cheetos, you’d hear them say that her strength is arguably just shy of Superman’s. If push came to shove, she can even hold her own against the Hulk. … for a while. Then she’d have to pull an Ultimates Wasp move on him if she wanted to stop him in his tracks.
  6. Can fight – Movie makers never seem to understand that the audience can tell when a woman can’t fight on screen. It’s like, watching a girl throw a baseball (granted, there are lots of highly athletic girls/women out there, (who can throw better than 90% of the guys out there) but this comment is in reference to the very non-athletic girl throwing a ball). What comes to mind is casting someone like Michelle Yeoh in a fight scene.
  7. Can act – Last, but definitely not least, we won’t be fooled by big boobs and panties. … ok, so we can be fooled but we’re going to b!tch about it after the movie’s done playing. Yeah, sure we’ll buy the DVD, but we’ll still b!tch about it. Wonder Woman has to act. We won’t let the movie people get away with just showing us cheese cake! … well, a little cheese cake is ok, but please don’t let the show ride on that alone.

Some Wonder Woman Applicants

We searched the interwebs for relative unknowns or missed opportunities and we found several beauties who we feel come close to the embodiment of Wonder Woman.

Elisabetta Canalis: At 5’7″ Elisabetta is a stunning Italian actress who also happens to be George Clooney’s girlfriend. (Go George!). She appeared in Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo and romantic comedy Virgin Territory.

Laetitia Casta: Though, only 5’5″, Laetitia has many of the prerequisites to be Wonder Woman, if not another Amazon on Themyscira. She is a French model & actress. She was the official face of L’Oréal, Dior, and Chanel. She’s been featured in Tommy Hilfiger, Guess Jeans, Miu Miu and XOXO ad campaigns and has appeared on over 100 magazine covers including Victoria’s Secret catalogs, ELLE magazine, and Vogue magazine. She also appeared in 3 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issues, Rolling Stone, and a Pirelli Calendar and was the face of Ralph Lauren’s newest fragrance, Notorious. Laetitia is no slouch.

laetitia-casta-3 laetitia-casta-1 laetitia_casta-2

Moran Atias: At a STUNNING 5’9″ Moran is mind shattering gorgeous Israeli actress and model. She’s so hot, she could be a waitress or …or an airline stewardess in the 60s. She was discovered in Italy by Roberto Cavalli and was cast in the Israeli “Strauss” commercial and chosen to lead the “Renuar” campaign. She has also won the title of Miss Israel. If you have ever known, or met Israeli women, you will know that they are some of the most beautiful women in the world. Ai chi-wawa!

moran-atias moran-atias-2 moran-atias-3

Ayelet Zurer: Ayelet is another Israeli actress, best known for her roles in Nina’s Tragedies, Adam Resurrected, Munich, and Angels & Demons. Though. Though she is no spring chicken, she (at the very least) has what it takes to play Hippolyta. The one thing we do know about Isralie women. … they can fight. Everyone in Israel is drafted into the military for two years, though, unless you’re a supermodel, then you can dodge it, however it’s considered a big no-no there. … I think I’m going to have to go rent Angels & Demons now.

ayelet-zurer-3 ayelet-zurer-1 ayelet-zurer-2

We could go on and on, but we think you get the idea. Let’s just hope that the people who come together to create the next Wonder Woman TV show or movie does their due diligence to research Wonder Woman and understand who she is and what she represents. If you’re looking to get a good understanding on DC’s retconned Wonder Woman, we highly suggest George Perez’s Wonder Woman: God and Mortals. Another good book to get is Wonder Woman: Hiketeia. And, as usual, your thoughts are welcome. We know many of you won’t agree, but at least we’re trying to set the standard.

The Next Smallville: Batman or Wonder Woman?

Friday, May 20th, 2011
Gotham Nights or Themyscira?

Gotham Nights or Themyscira?

Smallville is over

So what’s to fill the void that after Clark goes off to Metropolis? Fans have had 10 years of foreplay, with no pay off, so we’re wondering, which superhero could fill Kal-El’s shoes on the TV screen; Wonder Woman or Batman? We’d love to see both, but we’re thinking that, with the ridiculously low  budgets assigned to TV, Wonder Woman fighting mythical beasts might look like something out of a 1970s Sinbad movie. Much cheaper to move to Gotham and film a brooding teen learning his way into becoming the World’s Greatest Detective. But, how would they be envisioned? We’re giving it a shot.

Themyscira

themysciraGeorge Perez pretty much set the bar with respect to Wonder Woman’s origin. She was molded out of Themysciran clay by her mother, Hipollita. Through divine means, her disembodied soul, which came from a murdered woman some 60,000 years ago, was nurtured in and retrieved from the Cavern of Souls. Once the soul was placed into the clay mold, it immediately came to life and was gifted with great powers by six Olympian Greek gods.

The six gods and their gifts are:
Demeter: the goddess of agriculture and fertility, gifted Diana with strength drawn from the Earth spirit Gaea. Wonder Woman is one of the strongest heroes in the DC Universe, right up there with Superman. Her strength is to the length that she has prevented large chunks of the Moon from crashing into the Earth and has helped hold up bridges and even lifted entire railroad trains.

Though Diana is not invulnerable, she is still able to withstand huge explosive forces and can shrug off high-powered rifle fire with little to no injury. However, she can still be cut by magical or extremely sharp objects.

Aphrodite: the goddess of love and beauty, blessed Diana with great beauty and a loving heart.

Athena: the goddess of wisdom and war, granted Diana great intelligence, wisdom, and military prowess. Diana has gained mastery over a dozen languages, sciences and philosophy as well as leadership and military/armed and unarmed combat.

Artemis: the goddess of the hunt, animals, and the Moon, graced Diana with the Eyes of the Hunter and Unity with Beasts. The Eyes of the Hunter gives Diana enhanced senses. Unity with Beasts grants allows Diana to communicate with all forms of animal life and to calm even the most ferocious of beasts.

Hestia: goddess of hearth and home, granted Diana “sisterhood with fire, that it might open men’s hearts to her.” This allows Diana to control the “Fires of Truth,” which are wielded through her lasso, making anyone bound by it unable to lie. This ability also grants her resistance to both normal and supernatural fire.

Hermes: the messenger god of speed, granted Diana superhuman speed and the ability to fly. By concentrating, Diana can mystically defy the laws of gravity and propel herself through the air to achieve flight. She is swift enough to deflect bullets, lasers, and other projectiles with her virtually impenetrable bracelets.

Wonder Woman’s Weapons

Regarding Wonder Woman’s Lasso of Truth, it was forged by the god Hephaestus from the Golden Girdle of Gaea that was once worn by Antiope, sister of Hippolyta. It is so strong that not even Hercules can break it and is given to Diana after Hippolyta consults the Goddesses. Later it was retconned that it was given to Wonder Woman just before she left Paradise Island.

“Her bulletproof bracelets were formed from the remnants of Athena’s legendary shield, the Aegis, to be awarded to her champion. The shield was made from the indestructible hide of the great she-goat, Amalthea, who suckled Zeus as an infant. These forearm guards have thus far proven indestructible and able to absorb the impact of incoming attacks, allowing Wonder Woman to deflect automatic weapon fire and energy blasts. Diana can also slam the bracelets together to create a wave of concussive force capable of making Superman’s ears bleed. Recently, she gained the ability to channel Zeus’s lightning through her bracelets as well. Zeus explained to her that this power had been contained within the bracelets since their creation, because they were once part of the Aegis, and that he had only recently unlocked it for her use.” quote

And if you remember when Wonder Woman killed Max Lord, her Golden Tiara doubles as a flying dagger, or guillotine, returning to her like a boomerang. Its sharpness and mystical nature proved enough to cut even Superman’s throat.

It makes sense that it would take some time for Diana to grow into these powers. There are tons of stories that can be used to lay the groundwork for the building of her skills: Theseus’s Adventures, The Wanderings of Dionysus, Zeus’s Lovers, Creation of Man by Prometheus, Pandora’s box, The Story Of Echo & Narcissus, Daedalus and Iccarus, The Cyclops Cave & The Sirens, Jason and the Golden Fleece, King Midas & The Minotaur, Hades and the River Styx, Aphrodite and the Trojan War, Perseus and Medusa and then there are The 12 Labors of Hercules.

If you recall your Greek stories, Hercules had 12 Labors he had to accomplish. For the ninth labor, Eurystheus ordered Hercules to bring him the belt of Hippolyte, Wonder Woman’s mother. Queen Hippolyte had a special leather belt that the war god Ares had given to her, because she was the best warrior of all the Amazons. Hippolyte wore it across her chest to carry her sword and spear. Eurystheus wanted Hippolyte’s belt as a present to give to his daughter, so he sent Hercules to bring it back.

In Greek myth, Hercules kills Hippolyte. However, in DC mythos, George Perez had the Amazons enslaved and Hippolyte raped by Hercules. What better way to have Diana polish off her fighting skills than to kick in the doors of Hercules’ ship and beat the living crap out of him and his minions, freeing her mother and the rest of the Amazons. Lots of potential here for some great story telling.

Gotham By Night

gotham-city-movieFrank Miller set the stage for the young Bruce Wayne in Batman Year One. “The twenty-five year olf heir to the Wayne millions declined to comment on rumors of romance in his life… or on his plans on his return to Gotham after twelve years abroad. We’ll keep you posted on Gotham’s richest — and best looking — native son.”

Let’s see… twenty five minus 12 equals 13, carry the one. So, Bruce was somewhere younger than 13 when his parents were killed. That leaves at least, 12 – 15 years to train. I was able to uncover a short list of Bruce’s training, though all of these are when he was an adult, I don’t think it would be that hard to turn it into Bruce as a teen out touring the world learning how to become the World’s Greatest Detective. Here are some of the people I was able to identify that took a hand in Bruce’s training.

  • David Cain
  • Lady Shiva
  • Wildcat Ted Grant, a world-class heavyweight boxer
  • John Zatara (Zatanna’s father) taught him slight of hand/stage magic
  • Master Kirgi, who trained Ras League of Assassins,
  • In the Many Deaths of Batman someone was killing all the people who trained Bruce. Six Batmans ended up dead all over Gotham. All were experts in their fields: a race car driver, a demolitionist, a chemist, a body builder, a gymnast, a cross-bow expert.
  • Bruce also trained with a southern detective named Harvey Harris.
  • An Alaskan private investigator named Willie taught Bruce how to be a manhunter in Legends of the Dark Knight #1-5
  • In “Tao” LotDK #52-53, the story line focused on some of Bruce’s training in the Far East.
  • And, here’s a “Bit of Super Friends trivia- according to the text page in the 2nd issue of DC’s Super Friends comic, Wendy (of Wendy, Marvin, and Wonder Dog fame) was Wendy Harris, the niece of Harvey Harris! Totally outside of continuity, I know, but still… Harvey trained Batman, and then Batman returned the favor by training Wendy.”

So, there’s tons of room for Bruce to learn how to become Batman and plenty of ground to cover for an excellent series. Let’s hope the TV execs can pick up on at least one of these concepts to create another Smallville, but, something that is just like Smallville, but completely different…. something, more better.

Memorable Superhero Moments: Wonder Woman’s Boot On Batman’s Head

Friday, July 30th, 2010
Hiketeia Cover

Hiketeia Cover

The Hiketeia is a modern Greek tragedy of duty. When Wonder Woman participates in the ritual of Hiketeia, she becomes honor-bound to eternally protect and care for a young woman named Danielle Wellys. But when the Amazon Princess learns that Danielle has killed the drug dealers who murdered Danielle’s sister, Diana suddenly finds herself at odds with the Batman, who has been relentlessly hounding Danielle, to bring her to justice.

hiketeia-1aThe story culminates to the point where Bats has the young girl cornered. Wonder Woman tackles him, knocking him to the ground, telling him,

“Damn you, NO! … Don’t you understand … I don’t have a choice! Bruce… don’t make me stop you.”

“You don’t have a choice… Neither do I.”

Where the Princess promptly responds with a firmly placed boot to his head, along with a,

“Don’t. Get. Up.”

Batman Gives In

Batman Gives In

Batman, with his skull pinned under one of the most deadliest (and most sexiest) boots on the planet, admits defeat to Wonder Woman.

“All right. … You Win.”

He then proceeds to repeat the vow of Hiketeia to Wonder Woman. An ingenious move, that requires not only the balls to kiss Wonder Woman’s thigh (Rawrrrrr) but the intelligence to know the ancient Greek ritual to begin with.

With a reference to the Iliad, which none of us geeks have ever read (shame on us), Wonder Woman sees through his ploy and kicks Bats to the side of the road.  You gotta love her! Only the Amazon Princess could get away with doing that.

Hiketeia - Batman Rejected

Hiketeia - Batman Rejected

This is one damn good book.  The story line (written by Greg Rucka) is excellent, not contrived at all. It plays out like an actual tragedy, for it could literally be nothing else. In the end, if you’re not chocked up… then you have no soul.

The art work is to die for. J.G. Jones (Penciller) is a master at the imagery while Inker, Wade Von Grawbadger, brings the drawings to life.  When Diana’s boot is on Bats’ skull, the image itself speaks volumes, begging the astonishing question of, “DUDE! What in the hell did Batman do to get Wonder Woman’s boot on his friggin’ skull??!”

The entire Greek ritual of Hiketeia is a perfect platform to put all three players; Batman, Wonder Woman and the vindictive, fugitive Danielle, (who the reader can’t help but side with, wouldn’t you too kill drug dealers who murdered your sister?) in between the proverbial Rock and a Hard Place.

In the end, as with any tragedy, there is only one way out.

Buy this book.  It does not disappoint. You can find it here.

Superhero Picture Of The Day – 02.25.10 – Wonder Woman Oh My!

Thursday, February 25th, 2010
Oh My Goodness!

Oh My Goodness!

Ok, granted it doesn’t take much to make a woman look like Wonder Woman, but not all women can pull it off.  You need to be tall, statuesque, long wavy dark hair, preferably black, and look like a total goddess and it helps if she can throw a punch. And wear high heeled boots too.

The funny thing is that, the woman, especially nekid women, are the epitome of sexiness.  A nude woman is simply absolutely gorgeous.  So, isn’t it funny how the average comic geek prefers to see a woman clad in star spangled undies and tiara, so as to look like Wonder Woman, over a nude woman in general?

Something about the outfit just adds that extra… mMPH to the picture.  What is it?  It can’t be that she’s simply scantily clad. If that were it we’d all be looking at Victoria’s Secret catalog, of which I have volumes I through XXIVI.  So it has to do something with the fact that Wonder Woman is a superhero and is … well.. not just a superhero but a scantily clad, sexy superhero who’s also really cool as a character with a ton of character development. “that’s not all that she developed!” Shut up you!

So, thank god for Photoshop and some comic-geek-nerd type that took the time to color in some undies and a tiara, but he could have left the eyes not blue.  Let’s hope that all tall, beautiful women will avail themselves to be seen in a Wonder Woman outfit, showing the world just how powerful and sexy they really are.   “why do tall babes slouch all the time though?“  Shut up you!

Product Review: Wonder Woman Cami Set!

Monday, February 8th, 2010

Wonder Woman Cami Set

Wonder Woman Cami Set

We were getting so many calls, emails and questions regarding our Wonder Woman Cami Set that we thought we’d start off our Product Reviews with some.  The top has spaghetti straps, that aren’t adjustable, but are still comfortable and seem to fit most women without any issues.  We have two size ranges, “Juniors” and “Women.”  Most guys don’t know what that means, as well as a lot of women since we get a lot of calls from women yelling at us about our snarky descriptions, stating that “Juniors are Women too you SONOFABITCHS!”

Yeah, whatever, go shave your legs and armpits then talk to us.  This is really, really complicated and we didn’t make the rules; “Juniors” is… well, the best way we can describe is petite women or “Lithe, Japanese, high school, Ninja Assassin bodies.”  Juniors is for slender, small frame women.  Maybe it’s a petite woman.  Maybe it’s a high school girl.  Maybe it’s for a lithe, Japanese Assassin, who knows… it’s just a size for women who are tiny.  You know who you are cause all the guys look at you and other women hate you!  We didn’t make the rules.

Now, the “Women” size is simply, “your normal sized woman who’s not a lithe assassin.”  Doesn’t mean they’re a water buffalo, it just means they aint Tinker Bell!  You know who you are too.  I would think my wife is a “Womans” size but you never know if that’s an insult or not… so I just shut up, like most guys do, and generally give her the gift receipt (for non undi/cami items) so she can go exchange it for something that she thinks fits her more better*. Look, this whole issue of women’s sizing is just insane. I don’t see why women put up with it.

Regardless.  This is a fun cami (Guys: “Cami” is short for Camisole which is a sleeveless undergarment or negligee… negligee means, “sexy skimpy thing that makes her look even more sexier than before!”) with a soft daniellescreen printing on the material that doesn’t feel all clunky.

Our Customer Service Babe, Danielle, had this to say about them, “First of all, the Wonder Woman Cami, Panty Set is my all time fave item!!! It’s SO CUTE!!!!!!!! It can easily be turned into a sexy time outfit (just add boots! and with my long black hair, this outfit totally works for me) and tiras3also doubles as a cute little outfit to sleep in! I LOVE IT!

Tiras, our all-around-John-On-The-Spot Catalog Manager guy said, “All our Camis are superbly made.  We just need to get more models in here to try them on so we can maintain our continual, superior .. um… quality… er..  you know, they look really cute but I imagine they’ll bind around my hips.”

Our expert IT guy Nick, who we stole away from Microsoft, said, “I don’t bloody care, get that ridiculous microphone away from me! I’m nickextremely busy at this point in time and besides, I thought I put you on ignore! Don’t bother me with this rubbish again, I’m incredibly busy migrating the site to yet another server, which is extremely delicate work and it’s insurmountably impossible to do with you continuously pestering me about ….. ooo these are cute, aren’t they.  Do we have the Wonder Woman boots to go with it? ” Sure do Nick.  I’m sure you’re wife will look really hot in them!

ro2Ronando, yours truly, says, “I think this is a very cute gift for any woman, as long as you make sure you got the right size.  I had to pull out the ruler and measure both my wife and girlfriend’s shirts and undies and made sure I got the Large juniors sizes.  They worked like a charm, the girls loved them! I got lots of points out of these.”

* Unfortunately, Camis and Undies aren’t returnable due to “gross factor.”  But give us a call if you get the wrong size. We’ll do our best to work with you and make you happy.

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….

Pic of the day 12.29.08 – Wonder Woman in Rolling Stone

Wonder Woman Rolling Stone

 So, I stumbled upon this fantastic piece of artwork the other day and blew my wad. What an awesome piece of work. There are so many things happening here that they override the fact the her rib cage looks like a zombie’s torso. (yuck! Don’t look!) (I told you not to look!) So, here are the cool happening things in this piece of artwork. Â

Her boobies. I can’t help it. They are glorious, yes yes they are fake, I don’t care. Guys don’t care!! We love big fake tits! We’re pigs and dogs, what can I say. But women are the one’s who continue to buy and wear them, we’re just the Pavlovian dog that admires and even worships them.  The jeans. My god what an abundance of sex in art. A (sexy) woman with unzipped, torn jeans is something powerful enough to stop (or start) a war. To see a woman’s flesh through her shredded garments, to be luxuriously teased and tormented with provocative thoughts of her skin hiding behind whimsical tattered and torn threads is completely intoxicating. And the artist knew it!Â

The French Cut undies. My god, a woman’s exposed hips is among the most powerful things in the universe, next to their cleavage, and only a few of them know it much less know how to wield such an implement of power. Her little red star tattoo on her cannonball of a breast. Â

The arm bands are artistic interpretation. Wonder Woman doesn’t wear armbands. I’m a traditionalist… but I like it. He did a good job here. The silver bracers on her forearms, again a deviation from tradition with the stars and gold rings… but it works here. I like it. Just don’t make a habit of it.Â

The hair and those librarian glasses. God I love the librarian look. That look as you walk up to the counter and she has her nose, neck deep, in a book of ancient writings of the Sistine Chapel (or anything as equally cerebral) where she oozes a sense of literacy and candidness while attempting to hide her desire for some guy to come and show her what it’s really like to experience the Reverse Cowgirl… something she’s been reading about all these years. Who’s up for the challenge? Gotta love the librarian look.  And in the background you have the battleship hull and painted DC graphic all reminiscent of a WW II military air(sea)craft that’s seen some action.Â

I love this image!
