I thought Captain America's origin was public knowledge, and always imagined Spider-man's public image was mixed for the most part, thanks to Jameson's efforts. I believe Captain America's origin is public knowledge, but it's been a while. The thing is even if Captain America's origin is public knowledge you know you'd still have people believing it's fabricated just because of who Captain America is and part of the backlash he'd receive would have a lot to do with him secretly being a mutant. Just...man. It's too frustrating thinking about the Marvel Universe. |

You know, I always thought it'd be interesting to do some stories from the civilian's perspective, maybe a second story in some of the books. Don't even have to have them be the ones saved, just have them be normal people who have to deal with the fact that they're in a city that gets destroyed 50 times a year by metahuman fights. |

Am I the only one really tired of the Superdickery meme being used by people to argue "oh, Superman is a bad person, see?"
They're covers designed to sell comics. The point of the covers was usually to get people to look at the comic and buy it to find out why Superman was behaving in a way that Superman wouldn't. Once you read the comic, you'd find out that there was something like a short term poison in the water, and that was why Superman was keeping people from drinking. There was always a good, heroic motive behind the out of character covers.

That actually sounds really interesting. I'll have to look that up sometime. |
