"Nondescript."

Is Moon Knight still throwing guys off of roofs? Maybe not. Is he still throwing 8-Ball off of roofs? Oh, yeah, probably. C'mon, it's 8-Ball. He was totally asking for it, dressed like that? Tease. Also, I keep thinking 8-Ball was like Oddball from the juggling villain group the Death-Throws and forgetting he was originally a Sleepwalker bad guy.  And he's some kind of rocket scientist or something; yet I think he lost so much money playing pool he had to become a supervillain to recoup his losses? Oh, man, I want so many more villains to have that origin now; except I have to figure out names close-but-legally-distinct from Fanduel or Crypto. 

Of course, 8-Ball and Scratch are Fortnite figures--I think Jazwares, and not Hasbro? I think we have two of the more recent Hasbro figures next week, except I'll tell you right now, the blocking for them wasn't ideal...

Isn't Des Moines Wild Dog's territory? I mean, they call it Quad Cities but it's somewhere thereabouts. I don't know who covers it in Marvel, probably whoever's covering Chicago (don't know who's doing that either- maybe the GLA or whatever they call themselves now).

Also, Moon Knight probably still throws tons of guys off roofs.

He's very much throwing guys off rooftops even if McKay's writing about it or not. I mean if he's giving them the business down an elevator shaft, then he's DAMN SURE tossing 'em off roofs like random motorists toss out litter or hastily discarded cigarettes on the road.

Pretty cool, but sad (?) that we have an 8-Ball figure via Fortnite, but not Hasbro. As for as I'm concerned THIS is our 8-Ball. Wonder if that comes with a complimentary 3 1/2 grams of the devil's dandruff with the figure...Probably considering the going rate of a true 8-Ball these days...I'm guessing.

Marc is also pissed he had to go to Des Moines, let alone Iowa period. If Slipknot's to be believed, nothing good ever happens there unless you're lucky farmer.

LOL'd at 8-Ball promising to convert to Cashewism
& Scratch being advised when the best times to shit himself. It's Goo's world & we're just lucky to be living in it, haha.

Can't blame 8-Ball tho, as the old saying goes, there's no such thing as an atheist in a foxhole.

I picture Khonshu scolding Marc for killing potential worshippers. I mean, how many followers has Khonshu got, really? Probably not nearly as many as Thor, or even Cyclops, which has got to sting.

Wiki says the Quad Cities are Davenport, Bettendorf in Illinois, and Rock Island, Moline, and East Moline in Iowa. Des Moines is in the middle of Iowa, amidst all that corn (and absolutely nothing else). I have a friend who hates driving through Kansas, but I will take Kansas over Iowa every time.

Marvel gave every state their own team post-Civil War, during the Initiative, but I don't know if they ever listed which states got which teams with which heroes. Hellcat was Alaska's sole hero (great planning Tony, send someone with no super-speed, flight or teleportation to the biggest state.) I wanna say the GLA got Wisconsin. Razorback was in Arkansas, I think the Defenders got Jersey. The Order got California, and that's about all I got.

Hellcat got Alaska!? Jesus Tony, was she one of the very few former teammates to NOT sleep with you!? Sure sounds like it based on that demotion.

CalvinPitt said...

I guess that explains why she's marrying Tony now. Not risking getting sent to Alaska if he somehow bumbles into being Boss of All Superheroes again.

(Seriously, how did Patsy's taste in guys manage to get WORSE after being married to the Son of Satan?)
