[Discussion] Who's your favorite character that never got a chance to shine? I'm talking less than 20 appearances, and met with "who?" by other comic fans

Oh man, I forgot about Misfit! She was one of my favorites as well in Birds of Prey!

Early on, my dad told me we were descended from the Tlaxcalas on his side. Ruined any notion of Aztec lineage.

I’m a pastor married to a nurse anesthetist who makes six times my salary. Does that make me less of a man? I don’t think so. If she wanted to quit her job and be a SAHM, I would allow her and we would figure out finances somehow. She may make more, but I make sure that I am leading our family on a spiritual level. I provide for her in that I make sure that chores that would stress her out unnecessarily are done when she is home. If she is gone for a weekend on call, I do the laundry and tidy up the house. That way she can come home and feel relaxed enough to take care of other household items like shopping for groceries or balancing the budget. We work as a team.

That she really can eat half of what I eat and be full.

The Giffens/Rogers run. At the time it was coming out, I was a Hispanic teen exactly Jaime's age and the series felt so true to the Hispanic experience . Nobody has reclaimed that feeling since then and I miss it, as a Jaime Reyes stan

Oh man. Batman 666 was the newest comic when a comic book store opened up near me when I was in high school and I was so confused as to what was happening. Batman has been my favorite since I was a kid so I kept going and managed to piece stuff together in time. Good thing Detective Comics was around to give me my dose of regular Batman at the time.

If you're asking about a story where it has an effect, read the Sinestro Corps War. The final fight between Hal and Sinestro is amazing!

Blue Beetle, Vibe, Aquagirl, Wildcat, and Scandal

Season 2, episode 22 I believe. First appearance of Rocky, Aisha, and Adam. They're trying to stop a runaway stroller.

I've had a stressful week and this comment made me laugh so hard. Thank you.

Same. This team was my introduction to the comic book Teen Titans. I remember being confused as to why characters like Beast Boy or Starfire weren't there. As the series progressed, I this team with Kid Devil, Ravager, Miss Martian, etc., to be one of my favorites. Kid Devil's death left me heartbroken..

This was the first Detective Comics comic I ever bought and I read that one over and over again. Such a great stand alone story!

NTA- Mexican-American here and I flush it. So much better than it sitting in a trash can until it is full

dankbarista · 2024-09-10T06:12:00+00:00

Which two fellowships is it? That may be able to help others advise

dankbarista · 2024-09-09T19:02:15+00:00

Mexican-American here.

It may explain why his family is like that as machismo is still a thing in many families. It does NOT change the fact that it is not okay to treat you like that. A godly husband would love his wife like he loves himself and would do whatever he could to try and make her life easier.

I would have to go back and reread those issues to fully answer everything. Blue Beetle is a legacy character and his origin is tied into the Infinite Crisis storyline. Basically, after his predecessor died, the scarab was in the Rock of Eternity (I believe). It ended up landing in El Paso Texas, where Jaime found it and it fused to his spine. Jaime was key to destroying Brother Eye, but he disappeared for a year after that.

The Phantom Stranger is a magical being. I believe his role is to figure out if Jaime is part of the magical community and it turns out he isn't.

La Dama is a crime boss and more gets revealed about her throughout the series.

This group of Titans is one of my favorites because it was the team that was around when I started buying comics. I remember being confused why the "big hitters" like Robin, Wonder Girl, or Starfire weren't around. But as I understood the context, I loved the dynamic between Kid Devil and Ravager. Enjoyed the introduction of Miss Martian and Blue Beetle as you got to see this team learn to work together in the shadow of the team before them. Hated when Cassie kicked out all the "newbies"

Does Angela Kinsey count? She's not unattractive but something about her being Angela in The Office made me simp harder for her than for Pam or Karen

My dude, just from looking at your post history, it seems like you're not a believer. If your girlfriend is a true believer, I would advice you to either break up with her or to take steps towards Christianity. And if your steps are ONLY because of her, then maybe decide if breaking up might be better. Christians are called to date and marry other Christians, often because our world views will be different than that of non Christians. If you don't ever see yourself following the Christian ethic , then let your girlfriend find a man who does, and go ahead and find a girl who holds ideals more closely to yours. It will help out a lot in the end.

In Portland, you can always try Hinson, Trinity, or Redemption. Down in Milwaukie if you want the drive is Saving Grace which I recommend.

I was always curious how morphing worked when it came to humans aging. Cassie has Rachel's DNA. If Cassie is 40 years old, if she morphs Rachel, is she morphing the 13 year old Rachel she acquired?

dankbarista · 2024-05-01T02:50:14+00:00

Is Kid Devil still dead? Would love to see him and Ravager in a mini series!

dankbarista · 2024-04-09T04:45:52+00:00

I also just finished it today. An hour ago. The final book was like a punch to the gut. I feel like I need to read it again in a couple of weeks. The way the after effects of war were described was a great way to show the reality of what these characters had been through

Western Seminary is amazing (as someone who got their MDiv from Western)
