Kenn Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Re: CHAR: Big Barda 105 Humilated and Ravaged by John Byrne Two questions... #1) What the heck did I miss in Byrne's 'New Gods' book, or wherever? #2) Why, when I load up your Barda file does Hero Designer halve the cost of the individual Power slots from what you have? But it is a very nice and thorough write-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it is a very nice and thorough write-up. 1) nah I'm referring to an old "Action Comics" two issue tale in which some lame ass mind controller from Apokolips mind controls Barda in to doing porn films for him, then manages to get the drop on Superman and tries to get them to do it for the camera. Miracle Man (after being shown his wife in a porno by Darkseid as proof (though the fact that she seemed to have been missing for a while is glossed over)) charges in and rescues them. for a more articulate review of this read here. #2...that, I'm not sure about.

Kirby Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Re: CHAR: Big Barda First, Enforcer, sweet. Secondly, I have that issue. I read it when I was younger and didn't fully understand the implications, but knew the Barda/Superman/Mr. Miracle ending was overlooking something. (Now I know.) Finally, any chance of seeing the other Female Furies? Or even just Lashina? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y'know, I'd blotted those issues from my memory. Oh, and it seems that my copy of H.D. thinks that if the Limitation is on the whole multipower (in this case OAF), then it should also apply to the slot. Which is how I thought it should be too.

LoresLost Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 Re: CHAR: Big Barda I must warn you: I ain't touching the motherbox. That's not statable. ...and getchermind outta the gutter. The Mother Box is easy... Compared to the Mobius Chair. Speaking of the Mobius Chair and boom tubes, I remember a comic where Metron uses a boom tube to study some event in time. But it required special knowledge to pull off (Metron's area I do believe) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ye gods, if I hadn't seen the evidence I'd never have believed it. Say what you will about Millar and Civil War, at least he didn't have Sue Richards get mind-controlled into being a skanky ho.

LoresLost Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Re: CHAR: Big Barda Didn't Byrne do that with Psychoman and turning Sue into Malice? Yes, In fact Byrne did do just that. And the lame ### mind controller's name was Sleeze. Great Kribyish name (Thought that when I read that story and still do today). With a very good backstory too IIRC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's right, he did do that. Perhaps we should start a thread sometime on why so many comics fanboys and writers are into supervillainesses [that] dress like S&M bondage queens.

Perhaps we should start a thread sometime on why so many comics fanboys and writers are into supervillainesses [that] dress like S&M bondage queens. Well to be honest, Most Female characters in comics are given idealized bodies (I do believe there are a few threads that can be raised that touch on this). Come to consider it I can not think of a heroine who is not 'perfect' and 98% of villainesses are the same, Dspare of the Endless is the only Fat female I can think of in either 'mainstream' comic companies universes. Even the female death characters of both mainstream comics are idealize (Death of the Endless less so. Hel and Thanto's desire (Death in Marvel) are also idealized female forms).

Matt the Bruins Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Re: CHAR: Big Barda The thing is, most male superheroes have builds that would not be out of place for skilled athletes, martial artists, etc. who keep themselves in excellent shape. It's reasonable that guys who decide to fight crime as heros/vigilantes would tend to self-select from the physically fit. Most female superheroes are drawn with builds more appropriate to Playboy playmates than women who can chase down fleeing crooks or hold their own in a boxing match. It doesn't make sense to me that the decision to become a heroine would select for women with a big cup size, slender waist, and stylish blonde hair rather than general athletic fitness. Unless There's some nefarious company out there cranking out radioactive stripper poles... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
