3a. that bit in Uncanny X-Men where the Church of Humanity wanted to take over the world or buy a RoboSapien on the cheap by:
- installing Nightcrawler (disguised via his Image Inducer) as Pope- reveal the Pope to be A BLUE-TAILED DEVIL (by turning off his Image Inducer) and blow the roof off of organized religion everywhere oh SNAP- simulating the Rapture / Beatlemania during this OMG revelation by using communion wafers that KILL PEOPLE DEAD

9. the bit in X-Men when Psylocke suddenly turned from a posh, armour clad English bird into a sultry japanese sex ninja, for no reason.

13. that bit in Avengers where The Enchantress, disguised as The Valkyrie, actually gets the female Avengers to turn on their male oppressors via some sub-Steinemian hoo-hah about equal rights and bras and, um, oppression. And, of course, the guys don't help (stupid pigs). But then The Enchantress goes too far, or the girls wise up, or something happens and the plan goes to pffft. And they all end up in Vermont, for whatever reason.

New Thunderbolts are trapped inside a burning collapsing United Nations building OMG Do You See? Some of them go out and get help from Spiderman, who constructs a tight network of webs to keep the building upright - but it starts to fall in the other direction! Uh Oh! Inside, the lady Thunderbolt collapses, which causes the growing bigger Thunderbolt to push his powers further and further, until just when the building is about to fall, he grows to the size of it, and punches his arm out through the side, to grab the roof from the outside. And so the building stays up, because buildings work exactly like that.

I assume we're hailing MODAM as a work of genius, yes?
How about the issue of West Coast Avengers (#56) with Wonder-Man getting an implied blowjob from Wanda…?
Chuck Austen's Uncanny X-Men story 'The Draco', which had a character called Azazel trapped in an alternate dimension. To transport himself back home, he had sex with lots of mutant teleporters. On earth. Which he got to by teleporting there. Um…in the words of Paul O'Brien, patron saint of Bad X-Comics:
WELL, IF HE CAN TRAVEL TO EARTH TO BREED WITH THE WOMEN, WHAT DOES HE NEED THE FUCKING PORTAL FOR?

Well, don't look at here either. My dad bought a paperback with the whole Psi-Lord/Franklin Richards affaire eight or nine years ago so I could have some "fun" during a post-amygdala surgery convalescence. Oh, the suffering.

I'm almost certain that's the method used by Jeph Loeb for writing Batman/Superman.
"...and then and then and then Batman and Superman have to fight EVERY SINGLE VILLIAN AT ONCE! WHEEE! And then THE JLA FLY IN AND HAVE A BIG FIGHT WITH ALL THE BAD GUYS! POW! THWACK! And then, er, they... RIDE AROUND IN MECHS! YEAH! etc, etc."
Now Loeb has now gone to Marvel, presumably we can expect similar nonsense except with the FF, X-Men, etc?

In the next issue, there was another new villain, Devos The Devastator, and then Dreadface in the issue after that. Were you happy with my back-to-basics approach?
Ryan apparently feels that the dynamics between him and DeFalco were very similar to Stan and Jack's, except perhaps for that strange X Factor that led Stan and Jack to create Doctor Doom and Galactus and Tom and Paul to create Paibok the Power Skrull. The only time these two titans of brush and pen disagree is over the storyline which required Johnny's wife to give birth to an egg.
