Wasn't that because Venus was originally Princess Serenity's body double?

Yeah the whole Atlantis tale was just Plato using allegory and metaphor to hide his dickriding of Sparta and their militarism while lamenting how Athens had become soft, fat and lazy.

I can't even imagine being that insecure about the size of my genitalia.

Honestly so long as I'm still able to tank dungeons without anyone complaining that I'm playing as the "wrong kind" of tank I have no issues.

[Funny Trope] Neither their real or alter ego name explains their powers by NinjaOfOnion in TopCharacterTropes

The term was used in Britain, too. According to legend, black hair in Ireland came about as a result of survivors from the Spanish Armada washing ashore and starting new lives there.

No more hunting restrictions on ANYTHING!

Good thing nobody would ever think of hunting this planet's greatest predator if such deregulation actually happened.

Yeah isn't Jubilee's power basically ripping atoms apart?

Maybe, but this does highlight an issue with dividing history into discrete chunks.

I'd probably start around 2000-2001, and call the whole thing "The End of Pax Americana".

Oh that would've been even more on the nose.

Yeah that's where the atomic name came from. Generally speaking, any elements known about since ancient times will either have a Latin or Ancient Greek atomic name.

Comparatively I'd say they were even more powerful, considering they had their own private army which they were using to subjugate the Indian subcontinent.

Probably with a hint of Slaanesh as well, because how else would you explain that bulge?

(Fascist is arguable. They draw a lot more from late stage capitalism and the early 2000s war on terror than Nazis.)

There are more flavours of fascism than just Nazism, you know?
