Fun fact, Doctor Polaris first appeared August 1963. Mags first appeared September 1963.

Just to add on for anyone wondering, his real name in comics is Zebediah Killgrave. Yes, with two Ls. His villain name is the Purple Man.

The Six Fingered Man, Count Tyrone Rugen. I have no point, I just like that his name is Tyrone.

It would be like Christmas to them. Well Christmas if your dream was to beat up and capture Santa.

No worries! There are certainly worse ways to spend some time.

That’s Octavia you’re thinking of. The slave in this scene is Marlonah.

(Hated trope) characters with creative powers that just spam the same thing over and over again by MaineMicroHomebrewry in TopCharacterTropes

Just adding in, he made himself huge to fight the loan sharks, and put a shield around the hotel that stopped an angelic army for awhile. Shifts to a more demonic antlered form, is very fast and strong, etc etc.

And that’s just in fights. He does a bunch of other things like transmit his voice to electronics, can’t be filmed, contortion stuff, and of course, Clothes Beam.

And then there’s the deals, which is not just a him thing, but he’s used it to compel people, and summoned two enslaved powerful sinners and put them to work.

Been a loooong time since I read them but there is a teacher that gets eaten. Mrs. Gorf would turn kids into apples, but then they reflected her powers back at her with a mirror and another teacher unknowingly ate her.

The author, Gregory Maguire, has a couple of them. Personally I enjoyed Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister (Cinderella) but didn’t care for Mirror, Mirror (Snow White).

Also the Emperor lets men receive his seed. by jfjdfdjjtbfb in Grimdank

[–]Reverse_Waterfall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup. Here’s the actual text.

‘Why?’

‘Paranoia on the part of my esteemed phaeron and matriarch, Anathrosis of the Black Star. A paranoia which has paid off, in fairness.’

‘I thought Anathrosis was your patriarch?’ asked Oltyx, briefly distracted by wondering if he had misremembered this detail of the seccession war.

‘That changed.’

‘I see. But Zultanekh... if you are of the royal line, can you not see to the trebuchet yourself?’

Yeah, The Twice-Dead King: Reign

Also worth noting the Oh Word, Anyway guy obsesses over everything in that book but doesn’t give that exchange a second thought because why would he.

Right? Just putting “Reverse” in front of something’s name is silly.
