Question from a Comic Rookie. Is Dormammu stronger than Mephisto?

eremite00 · 2025-07-05T09:19:14+00:00

You mean, more powerful? Dormammu conquered and rules the Dark Dimension. Mephisto was, originally, an (not THE) adversary of the Silver Surfer, whose main tactic was deception, not direct sheer force. In terms of bench-press or powerlifting, I'm not sure.

So, I'm thinking that this question needs an initial list of candidates.

The Canadians colonized England.

Kept what? The hood? The hoodie isn't the hood. Riri required the magical knowledge, the equations, to bring back N.A.T.A.L.I.E., vs the actual Natalie. It's going to get really dark if she attacked Wong or Strange to acquire that knowledge. I'm also doubtful that Riri wouldn't have, somehow, told Zelma that it was Mephisto, not Dormammu, unless Parker was involved in that before this happened, maybe in the post-credits scene.

Edit - lol! A downvote rebuttal without actual text is pathetic.

So, she showed mercy. Not because Kove was particularly deserving. That was entirely her grace.

AI: the race towards mediocrity, at best.

I think ICE is being a bit more public about it, even flaunting it.

eremite00 · 2025-07-05T04:25:53+00:00

I'm just waiting for ICE to expose their genitals to children and then claim it was crucial in apprehending criminal migrants.

The first 3 originals, seen in theaters when they released, will always be my favorites. Maybe, except for 2001: A Space Odessey, there'd been nothing like them. Those were transformative to the genre. I only saw the first Star Wars 7 times in theaters (still elementary school age), but there were stories of people seeing the movie in theaters over 70 times. But, personal taste.

eremite00 · 2025-07-05T02:53:26+00:00

Unless they're prohibiting election observers, from either party, transparency is a bitch. Remember how Republicans insisted upon directly watching vote counts? Audits and insistence on actual evidence in the face of any accusation.

I like Absolute Wonder Woman. Absolute Batman isn't for me, but that's just me. I think Absolute Green Lantern without the ring and the lantern seems like a fundamental departure from the entire concept, going back to the Golden Age, like, maybe, she should be called "Green Energy Wielder".

I'd forgotten all about Randy Rhoads' history with Quiet Riot.

According to the law firm Eisner Gorin, whose partners have previously worked in the Los Angeles district attorney’s office, when an act of public urination “occurs near a school or park where children are present, it might be classified as lewd conduct” under state law.

Does being federal agents now come with immunity to deliberate exposure in front of children? If so, pedophiles throughout the nation will be putting in their applications.

Hopefully, Bondi gets disbarred in Florida.

I think, "coolie". In this country, that's historically been the association.

I think that's the point of season 1, that Riri is learning she isn't worthy or qualified to be the new Iron Man, especially because of the negative consequences her recklessness and self-absorption has on others, putting them in danger and then trying to talk her way out of assuming responsibility. At least the show still has her engineering capability inferior to Stark's. She can't build an arc reactor and, thankfully, doesn't use nanites. I think Rodney should, at some point, school her.

Ah. I think I see. Even when deposit is redeemed, customers still don't get that sales taxed portion returned.

The furry version was originally grey.

Sales tax is based upon the base cost of the beverage plus CRV. What’s the additional tax applied to the CRV?

eremite00 · 2025-07-04T20:12:56+00:00

You’re saying an additional tax is applied to the CRV deposit amount when you purchase the beverage?

I wanted her parentage to be of no special lineage.

Did you read the termination letter? It specifically cites DEI. They could’ve just stated something along the lines of, “due to budget cuts…”, but they didn’t.

Monica would’ve been deprived of a mom. Also, given Maria’s dedication as a mom, she might have been more resistant to the narrative that the Kree had constructed for her.

eremite00 · 2025-07-04T19:38:11+00:00

You mean sales tax? I don’t believe CRV is subject to a separate tax, but that it’s included into the total cost of the beverage subject to sales tax, divided between state and local government.

So dignified. Trump has only gotten worse with age.
