Beware Of The Blob! Part Two



When we last left our tale-just look at the last post, it's right below this. I know it's rough but be brave. 





"I know you X-Men readers aren't very familiar with originality as the Doom Patrol fans like to say-both of them!"
Spider-Man never made much of an impact on pop culture since they killed off in like the 60's. Remember that? Also I'd swap places with him. 





I should totally deface Marvel wiki and put this as Multiple Man's first appearance.




They got Cyclops, by removing the one thing that stops him from killing you all! Okay!!! And really Angel getting caught is now surprise. Flight is like one of the things every other superhero gets to do. And they caught Beast by having some guy hold him him between his legs.


 And they caught Beast by having some guy hold him him between his legs.

There is only one way that can work and they are not  nice young ladies and this is certainly not the privacy of his own bedroom



"You're as helpless as I think!"
I'm running out of funny things to say. I've already exhausted non funny things long before. Please let me die. And yes use fire to trap the kid with ice powers. That makes sense.







"Our speech balloons are yellow, only Deadpool could do this!"
I would not be surprised if Jean Grey forgot she could do these things. And wouldn't knives have been useful to the carnival people? For like stabbing X-People? Just saying. And Blob, can take direct gunshots, but can't break ice. Even normal people can break ice!





The captions are on holiday, two posts for this thing and you'd need one as well.

Oh plaster that's way to tough for him to tear a hole in. And for a non conformist Beast you sure picked a strict cult. Also really Blob, you can't climb out of that? Actually never mind it makes this story shorter. 




Well that was short. Oh and Blob's thought balloon may be the saddest thing ever. 
I imagined Cyclops' eye beams on super low power would feel rather nice. Like sticking your hands near the jets in a jacuzzi but all over! And Professor Xavier gave speeches like that to all the parents of X-Men recruits. I kid I kid, he only gave it to Hank's parents... and everyone else he ever knew. 

I am not joking. 

And if his honour matched his power? Fuck you narrator, fuck you for every pound that makes up the Blob. 


This is one of the worst comics I've ever read. Arrogance permeates the story, the heroes aren't in the right because they do good things, but simply because they're the main characters. And Blob's origin is utterly morally bankrupt and I have no idea what Stan Lee and Jack Kirby were thinking. 


2013 is the 50th anniversary of the X-Men, who as you probably wouldn't have guessed from these posts are my favourite superhero team. Over the last fifty years the team has expanded, diversified and told many a interesting and wonderful story. 


And generally tried to be as unlike this early outing as humanly possible.
