Let's Do Math! (with The Mighty Avengers!)


Thor > Hulk.



Nick Fury ≠ Marcus Welby, M.D.



Having Captain America and Rick Jones ≠ Keeping Captain America and Rick Jones.



Thor < Hulk.



No one > Hulk.



(Yellowjacket x 2) = Captain America.



Thor > mortal man.



(Thor - Mjolnir) + 60 seconds = Don Blake.



Hulk > everyone.



Captain America ≠ Captain Midnight.



Hawkeye - (bow + arrow) > Rick Jones.



Thor > Hulk.



Tsetse fly:elephant :: Captain America:Man-Ape



Solve for y: If a is b, where a = Captain Mar-Vell and b = spy, then x is y, where x = Rick Jones.

(Answer: y = Joe Cocker.)



Hulk = Thor!



Avengers = jerks.

What can I say, but:

The Little Stuffed Bull = A rare treasure

The real question remains:

Who is the autograph collector willing to part with his Captain America autograph for TWO Yellowjacket autographs? What's he gonna do with TWO? What kind of sick $*"& likes Yellowjacket this much?

I imagine there was some sort of proto-Ebay for autograph traders then. Still, 2:1 seems an awfully generous ratio for Yellowjacket!

I wonder whose autographs command the highest prices nowadays? Captain America, of course, would be among the most *popular*, but he's probably also one of those guys who (unless duty calls, of course) makes time for everybody, and never refuses a polite request. Thus, high supply of Cap autographs on the market. (OTOH, currently, a finite supply....)

I'd imagine the priciest would be something like an authenticated Hulk autograph. Generally speaking, Hulk not sign stupid pieces of paper with stupid inky things that get mess all over Hulk's hands. For that matter, Hulk sometimes not know alphabet, much less how to sign name....

Avengers = Jerks? How true, how very true. I do hope that Jarvis gets medical and dental and pension benefits for all the crap that he has to put up with.

Re: Avengers = Jerks.

We should have seen that whole Disassembled thing coming a long time ago. Look at Wanda's face as she mows down her faithful butler.

Poor Jarvis. After a restorative glass of port in the pantry, he'll no doubt enter this latest indignity into the club book at the New York branch of the Junior Ganymede.

Is this going to be on the test?

Man, I didn't realise Hulk had such a competitive streak. Then again, I s'pose he doesn't have a whole lot else to hang onto in life, does he?

Re: autographs, there absolutely was a healthy market back in the day. As far back as the late 1880's, Louisa Alcott was writing (as Jo March) that 'I've given this boy six [signatures] already...I'm sure he sells them."

These days...what with all the shifting among the teams, I'm guessing the real value lies in complete sets. Avengers '75 trumps '76, that sort of thing.

Which is why Hulk is so valuable.
Want a first round avengers set, you NEED a hulk.

Andrew beat me to the obvious one, but really, Bully: This is one of the all-time greats of the Comics Blogger Internet.

Math is hard!

Yeah, I'm getting SAT flashbacks.
Thanks, Bully!

"Little Women"? Wasn't that a Marvel Stone-Age comic that starred The Wasp, Jarella and Marionette?

Caleb said...

Especially Vision. He could phased through Jarvis, instead of just sidearming the tea tray.
