Hello! Do you think that you are an expert on comic book characters?

Are
you sure? Because these ten mind-blowing facts about the greatest
superheroes and super-villains will make you go insane. Let's go!
Marvel:
1.Peter Parker got molested as a child

We begin the list with the creepiest one! That's right! Peter Parker got
molested as a kid. In a crossover story of Spider-Man and Power Pack, the
hero overhears a naughty babysitter trying to insult a kid. Spidey crashes in
this neighboring apartment and stops her. He then tells a story to little
Tony: The story of a kid named Peter Parker. Peter once befriended a
friendly guy named Skip (the friendly pedophile of your neighborhood).
Peter and Skip spent some time together, but the man wanted more from
the poor student. We don't know WHAT happened, but something
happened. Something bad. Peter then encourages Tony to say what
happened to his parents. It was an interesting story.
2. The infamous Ghost Rider canceled crossover story

I remember Casper, the friendly ghost and his little innocent adventures. I
also remember Ghost Rider, the demon hunter from Hell. I remember his
flaming skull and his magical chain, which burned the souls of the
criminals. The idea of the Ghost Rider/Casper crossover was suggested by
the comic book writer Ivan Velez. In this story, the friendly ghost would
have changed positions with the vicious punisher. While Casper spends
time in Hell's Kitchen stopping bank robberies, Ghost Rider starts ruling the
Harvey universe. This is not a parody. I'm serious.

3.Tony Stark is based on Howard Hughes

According to Stan Lee, Iron Man is based on Howard Hughes. Who is this
guy? Basically, a real-life Tony Stark. Hughes was an inventor, a ladies
man, a philanthropist, a business magnate and a very eccentric person.
The similarities are obvious. This was the man who inspired Stan Lee.
4.Carnage was based on the Joker

That's right. Artist Erik Larsen draw Carnage based on the Joker. Well, this
is pretty obvious. Cletus Kasady, the public identity of Carnage, was a
sadistic killer and a maniac, just like The Joker. They have the same insane
smile. The nose, the hair, the face... There are many similarities. Both of
them are pretty mad and dangerous.
5.Werewolves were banned at Marvel

I know what you're thinking. That's crazy! Well, the organization known as
the Comics Code Authority tried to make the comic books more kid-friendly.
How did they accomplish that? By cutting down on violence? No! They
banned Werewolves. Marvel tried to create new animal-human hybrids with
the development of a character named Sauron. Sauron was a weird
man/pterodactyl hybrid. Fortunately, the code was revised in 1971.
Dc:
6.Batman and Robin shared a bed

This is something that haunted the Batman comics for years. Bruce Wayne
and Dick Grayson shared a bed in Batman #84. This controversial picture
led many fans to believe that Batman and Robin were gay. The
homosexual and pederastic interpretations are now part of the academic
study of Batman's mythos. The accusations were made by Dr. Fredric
Wertham, who wrote the famous 1954 book Seduction of the Innocent.
Many fans accuse him for trying to destroy the comics. Sadly, many people
lost their jobs. Acclaimed writer Alan Grant stated that those claims were
untrue. I agree. The only Batman who could have been homosexual is Joel
Schumacher's.
7.The fans killed Robin

You think that the Joker killed him? The real killers were the fans and the
readers. Jason Todd was much more annoying than his predecessor, Dick
Grayson. Seeking a new way to interact with fans, Dc set up two 1-900
number 50-cent hotlines giving callers the ability to vote for or against
Jason's death. The results? 5,343 votes for Jason to die and 5,271 for him
to live. Jason was murdered brutally by the Joker in Batman: A Death in the
Family. Although he later returned as Red Hood, his death was one of the
most tragic in the entire comic book history.
8.All of the members of the first Justice League have died

The deaths in comics are notorious. Most of the dead characters are
revived some years later. Marvel follows this rule too, but Dc often kills the
MAJOR characters. Superman was killed by the monstrous villain
Doomsday. Wonder Woman was sent to Hades by the demon Neron.
Darkseid killed Batman with his Omega Beams. Martian Manhunter was
murdered by Libra and the Secret Society. Flash sacrificed himself in order

to stop the Anti-Monitor. Aquaman was killed in Aquaman: Sword of

Atlantis. Hal Jordan died saving the Earth, by reigniting the sun. All of them
were resurrected later.
9.Superman isn't as good as you think he is

Supes started as a big, bad bald guy bent on world domination! Jerry
Siegel and Joe Shuster first drew him as a villain in "The Reign of the
Super-Man". It is obvious that Lex Luthor took the role of the bad guy and
the writers reimagined Superman as a hero. However, he isn't such a boy
scout. Superman has murdered many times. He has killed many of his
enemies, like Imperiex, Doomsday, Doctor Light, Brainiac and even a
Kryptonian Dragon. In some parallel universes he has also killed Lex
Luthor, Batman, Mr. Mxyzptlk and Lois Lane. Other versions of him are
dictators or puppets of the government like the one in Red Son and in
Batman: The Dark Knight Returns
10.Magic isn't Superman's "weakness"

This is something inaccurate. Superman's weakness is Kryptonite. Magic

can hurt him. Magic can hurt him like it could hurt every other ordinary
citizen. He is just not invulnerable to magic. The Kryptonians don't have a
specific weakness on sorcery or something like that. Superman's powers
are the result of a natural phenomenon, not supernatural. This is why he is
affected by most forms of sorcery.
