Back when Marvel's Sub-Mariner was incredibly popular, Aquaman must have seemed like a good idea.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 12 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

The Sub-Mariner predates Marvel (unless you mean the literal name of the comic he was in) as he was created for Timely Comics in 1939.

He does predate Aquaman, but only by two years. Aquaman was always DC. I have no idea if Aquaman was a response though. "Ocean-based Superhero" isn't really all that hard to think up. The original Aquaman also wasn't Atlantean. His father studied Atlantis and trained him to breathe underwater and talk to fish because comics were super stupid back then.

I meant Marvel in an anachronistic way😊 . (He was Timely at the time, but people would know him from Marvel these days.)

I kinda wanted to defend Aquaman a little bit: I think Aquaman only looks silly from a modern perspective. Back in the day he was a perfectly reasonable character, given the massive success of another underwater hero at the time.

Of course, all DC superheroes have to deal with the existence of God-like characters like Superman making everybody else look like chumps!

I'm fine with Aquaman as a hero. But "I'm a normal person who learned to breathe underwater and talk to fish because my dad learned the secrets of Atlantis" is very silly.

Where is Catwoman's litterbox?

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 16 points 6 months ago

That's in the Women's Rooms of the Legion of Doom comic.

In which The Flash learns about The Splash.

And because Wonder Woman was molded from clay, naturally she doesn't need one. There's nothing there, much to the disappointment of pretty much everyone

[-] 2ugly2live@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

Am I to assume that the flash is just spin pissing? Or is it spinning to match whatever position he happens to be in when it's time?

[-] tuck182@lemmy.world 13 points 6 months ago

I looked at it as: he has to keep running around it so he's pissing from the right direction, presumably also accounting for properly leading it so his piss lands in it at just the right time. Still sounds messy to me.

[-] 69420@lemmy.world 17 points 6 months ago

Don't be silly. He stands still while pissing, pinching and unpinching in sync with the urinal's rotation.

[-] tuck182@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

Ah, of course. That makes so much more sense.

[-] meowMix2525@lemm.ee 4 points 6 months ago

I'm picturing machine gun style pissing

[-] meowMix2525@lemm.ee 6 points 6 months ago

So if he's leading the urinal, does the centrifugal force not make the piss fly out the other side of it anyways? Does any piss actually make it into a drain in this scenario?

[-] tuck182@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

I assume it depends whether the urine is still imbued with the speed force long enough to run down the drain before it can be flung away. I'm not sure; I'm not really an expert in speedster physics.

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 6 points 6 months ago

I think he sits on it

[-] jenny_ball@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

someone needs to make a picture of whatever is going on with the manhunters genitals

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

I think I'll pass on that one.

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 2 points 6 months ago

You can see the teeth marks from his little alien penis jaw there.
