Longtime
Quasar readers and vile speculators may both recall
Quasar #6, an
Acts of Vengeance crossover and a fairly early Venom appearance. Venom isn't even jobbed out, he's picked up like he's a lost toddler at a mall: Quasar's power-set is just too far above him, like Green Lantern vs. Bane. He gets put in a bubble and done. Actually, thinking about it for a second, Quasar could wrap up 90, 95% of Spider-Man villains with zero problems. Unless you count something like the Green Goblin throwing a pumpkin bomb in his bubble and blowing his own goddamn head off or something.
For Moon Knight, it took me a second to recall it was Marc Spector that used to be CIA. He's more matter-of-fact than a relative boy scout like Quasar would be, though: especially since it's pretty easy for Quasar to bring them in alive, and whatever happens to them after happens. He doesn't get his hands as dirty, or stick around for that part!

Ok, now WE NEED to see Dottie! And we've all seen women like her, the kind that've looked like soccer moms ever since they were 22, or even earlier than that, like say high school or even middle school. Yup!
Cool effect using whatever toy prison you already has as a makeshift quantum-band jail. Nice.
That line about the car battery clamps being clipped onto the testicles reminded me of a line the Joker once used on Lex Luthor during the late 90's/early 00's (somewhere's about) where he told him to basically calm down or else daddy will have to get snarky, which I was told (not sure if true or not but the implied imagery painted quite a picture) meant the Joker would hook up the clamps from a car battery to Lex's nipples & give him a nice jolt.
Ahhh comics.
Looking forward to the continuation of this pretty entertaining team-up goes from here.
Wow, shades of early post-Crisis Batman vs. Superman arguments here. Makes sense, considering MK's supposedly a Batman stand-in (don't know what the story behind Quasar's creation is).
I know it's just a metaphor but isn't Venom (the stuff Bane uses, not the Marvel guy) supposed to be yellow, so GL wouldn't be able to do much about him? Probably overanalyzing it but my pre-Crisis fandom started kicking in.
Also, I'd love to see Dottie too. I know HYDRA's got a soccer mom admin in the Team America series but don't know if Marvel's had one on the other side of the morally grey fence.
@H:
Yellow as the color yellow, or Yellow in that he'd represent the yellow fear portion of the power ring emotional spectrum? I could see Venom inspiring fear, so yeah maybe that would qualify him as Yellow Lantern.
Two for Dottie! Goo, you now know what you must do. SHOW US THE DOTTIE!!!!!
In this case, Mr. Morbid, I mean the literal color because GL rings typically can't affect anything yellow or infused with enough yellow. Bane getting pumped full of a drug that was yellow would qualify as immune to GL ring energy.
For the record, I think Venom (the Marvel guy this time) would be a Red Lantern because rage is his primary emotion.
