223 – Adam Warlock
I think I read maybe three issues of Warlock’s 90s series, after he had taken possession of the Infinity Gauntlet. My only real memories are of Warlock passing the Infinity Gems out to various characters, one of whom stuck the gem on his dick. The other memory I have is of buying the first issue …
222 – Ms. Marvel
Carol Danvers in her Warbird/Ms. Marvel costume. I had pretty much forgotten she existed until she appeared in Kurt Busiek’s Avengers, and then I had no idea why her head wasn’t on fire anymore. Oh well, whatever. Comics.
221 – Binary
Carol Danvers’ second incarnation (see yesterday’s post), after Rogue wiped her mind and powers, designed by the late, great Dave Cockrum. That guy was the king of sleek modern superhero costume design, and there’s never been anyone that’s come close. Too bad he is gone, and particularly too bad when DC needed him the most.
208 – Stingray
I have never read a single comic with Stingray in it, and if I have, the character obviously never made an impression, outside of his costume – which is awesome. Apparently he is some sort of underwater Iron Man, the superhero oceanographer, and a reserve Avenger. I look forward to seeing his movie in 2018.
207 – Bulldozer
The final Wrecking Crew member, Bulldozer, who looks like a junior version of Juggernaut. That still makes him 1000% better than Piledriver. Seriously, fuck that guy. I’ll probably do a team sketch in the future. Piledriver will be obscured by everyone else. Guaranteed.
206 – Thunderball
Part 3 of The Wrecking Crew, Thunderball. His costume’s not great, but he carries a giant wrecking ball on a chain, and that more than makes up for it. It certainly puts him leagues ahead of Piledriver.
205 – Piledriver
Part 2 of The Wrecking Crew: Piledriver. This may be the worst drawing I’ve ever done for this blog, especially for a request, but Holy Christ, Piledriver has to be the biggest turd of a villain ever created. I was so bored two seconds into even doing research on this dull asshole, I wanted to …
