comics Respect Flex Mentallo (DC Comics, Post-Crisis)

8 Upvotes

All this time and I had the answer to that man’s question. It was staring me right in the face. “Who’s going to save the world?” It was so simple. Who always saves the world? The superheroes, that’s who… It was like a light going on in my head, dispelling the shadows of the long, dark night we’d found ourselves in. I remembered the way it used to be. Remembered when we turned the world on its axis to save the life of one child. Remembered how we flew to the limits of unknown, titanic galaxies to petition the gods for humanity’s survival. Remembered when we rescued kittens from trees and asked for no reward. It all came back to me in that place.


There once was a nerd who got sand kicked in his face day after day by the local beach jock. One night while walking down the street and complaining about his lot, a man with a television in his forehead and three cigarinos in his mouth offered the nerd a way out. By mailing a coupon into the third mailbox he sees on the ninth day of the month, the TV-headed man promised a way to change the lad’s body, soul and brain for free. After fulfilling the instructions, the nerd received a self-help book in the mail that contained techniques that built muscles and changed reality when he flexed. Not only did he become the buffest cat on the beach, but Flex Mentallo became the buffest superhero the world had ever seen.

A short while into his career as a crimefighter, Flex received a tip from a reporter into a conspiracy at the Pentagon dating back to the 1940s. He stared too deeply into the abyss and was met with the dark eyes of the Men from N.O.W.H.E.R.E., quasi-undead government stooges committed to the eradication of all things abnormal or irrational. They stole Flex’s memories and powers, leaving him as one of the many vagrants wandering Danny the Street.

Years later, the Doom Patrol reminded Flex of who he was and returned to the Pentagon with him. There he’d learn the shocking truth. Flex wasn’t a man but an idea, a hero imagined by a boy named Wally Sage, a concept given form through sheer belief. The revelation only served to strengthen Flex’s muscles once more, allowing him to help his new friends fight back against the rational Men from N.O.W.H.E.R.E. and their government owners.

34 Upvotes

As children, best friends Shin Hayata and Kiki Fuji witnessed a secret organization hunting down monsters. The two became obsessed with discovering and joining this group, and by adulthood they had found it. The United Science Patrol accepted Kiki's application, but rejected Shin. This did not deter him though, as he developed a way to track the kaiju they hunted himself and would interrupt their operations. But on one fateful day an understaffed squad recruited him to attack a crashed alien being, and his life changed forever.

Shin bonded with the energy being, an Ultra, to save its life after wounding him. The two became one, and Shin adopted the Ultra's mission to protect the planet from kaiju. With the ability to channel the Ultra's size and power, they became Ultraman.

Ultraman worked with USP against the kaiju, but soon discovered the mindless monsters weren't the only enemy. Betrayed by the hostile alien that was in charge of the organization, Shin, Kiki and their allies split away to form the Ultra Guard. Alongside the Ultra's berserk brother Ultraseven and the combining mecha Jack, Ultraman protects Earth and humanity from any monster-related threats!

Notes:

  • All monsters in this comic, regardless of size, are referred to as "kaiju." While this is an accurate use of the word in its original Japanese context, in the West it usually refers to specifically giant monsters. For the sake of clarity and saving word count, this thread will only refer monsters on the scale of buildings as "kaiju."
  • Ultraman can swap between human size and giant size. Feats in giant size will be Bolded.

Respect Thor, the God of Thunder

There was no warning. No rumbles or flashes. Not so much as a raindrop. One second, the sky was perfectly clear. The next... the sky screamed thunder. A hammer fell like lightning. And suddenly, there descended a hurricane of godly wrath.

Twenty years after Godzilla was killed during his rampage in Japan his still-beating heart was retrieved by the ninja cult the Hand, who revived the Kaiju to raze human civilization in the name of their demonic lord the Beast. Godzilla proceeded to tear his way through Tokyo until he was met by the Mighty Thor, who battled the King of the Monsters for hours before freezing him solid with the icy winds of Jotunheim. But the Hand, refusing to let their god stay down, travelled across the stars and retrieved the weapon of one of the All-Father's greatest foes in order to level the playing field...

Respect Superman, the Man of Steel!

Dreams save us. Dreams lift us up and transform us. And on my soul, I swear... until my dream of a world where dignity, honor and justice becomes the reality we all share -- I'll never stop fighting. Ever.

 

On a faraway planet known as Krypton, Kal-El was born to loving parents, the astronaut Lara and scientist Jor-El. But upon discovery that they were living on a doomed planet, Jor-El put baby Kal on an escape rocket to Earth, knowing the Yellow Sun there would grant his son extraordinary powers. Upon landing in the small town of Smallville, Kansas, Kal was adopted by farmers Martha and Jonathan Kent. Naming him Clark Kent, they raised him virtuously, teaching him ethics and his moral code that he still stands with today. As he grew older, he moved to the city known as Metropolis and became the hero known as Superman, eventually growing into the best superhero the world has ever seen.

Do people have any idea how precious a place this is?

Millions of millions of miles away from Earth, the planet Krypton exploded. Years of class inequality led to stratification and division with no hope for survival as the world broke. Nonetheless, a small family from the farmlands had continued to hope. An astronaut mother and geologist father raised Kal-El to be a boy who fought for truth, justice, and a better tomorrow.

The endling of Krypton crashed into Kansas on a sunny afternoon, and saw far too much of the failing world he'd left behind in front of him. Now, he fights against the authoritarian Lazarus corporation, their Peacemaker armed forces, and the self-proclaimed god Ra's al Ghul.

45 Upvotes

Frank Castle was a New York cop when an alien invasion landed in Central Park. The X-Men and the Avengers responded to the threat quickly… perhaps too quickly. In failing to evacuate the park, Frank’s wife and children were caught in the superpowered crossfire. Upon arriving at the scene, Frank shot several costumed heroes dead and landed himself a life sentence in supermax. He would’ve rotted in that cell if it weren’t for the help of Kesselring, a millionaire with his own bone to pick with the super-powered community. Now free and funded by a wealthy donor, Frank would make it his mission to wipe out every hero and villain on the planet.

All feats come from the one-shot title, Punisher Kills the Marvel Universe (1995).

His crusade lasted around three years, resulted in the deaths of nearly five hundred superhumans, and included several off-panel murders, including the Thing, Ghost Rider, Green Goblin, the Invisible Woman, Iron Man, Human Torch, the Vision and the Black Panther.

RICK GRIMES

Rick Grimes was a small town police deputy from Kentucky who ended up in a coma after being shot in the line of duty. When he woke up, the world had changed forever. The dead had begun to walk, turned into flesh-eating monsters who quickly brought about the end of civilization as we know it.

In searching for his wife and son, Rick found himself becoming a leader for other survivors... though like all good leaders, he was tested. He lost his wife, he lost a great number of friends, he even lost his hand.

While living in the Alexandria safe-zone, he assaulted another survivor for spousal abuse, which caused him to come into conflict with others of his group when he started taking it too far.

Then the aliens made their move.

Rick woke up three weeks later, having been abducted right before his friends' eyes. With a new robotic hand and a super suit, he escaped the alien ship and came across several of his friends, who had similar technological enhancements... and in some cases, were people he'd watched die.

It turns out the entire undead apocalypse was a simple preamble to an alien invasion, with the invaders using the walking dead to cripple humanity to the point where they couldn't possibly fight back. They wanted our water, and moved in to harvest it, at the same time reviving several people from Rick's past and turning them into super soldiers for their army, or slaves for their water stealing operation. Several escaped their control and formed a resistance group, which Rick soon took lead of.

Now he must fight old foes, new foes, and alien freaks while once again becoming a beacon of hope for the remnants of mankind in a bloody, violent apocalypse. But, like, with a lightsaber this time.

Respect Thor Odinson, God of Thunder!

Bio: Born to the skyfather Odin and the Earth goddess Gaea, Thor spent most of his young centuries adventuring in and around Asgard, the extra-dimensional home of the Norse pantheon. The young thunder god grew up learning many things about combat and violence but lacked honor and empathy, a state that troubled his father greatly. Odin called upon the dwarves of Svartfalheim to construct a weapon so powerful that Thor would be sure to want it, and then enchanted it so that Thor could wield it only if he proved himself to be worthy of its power. Eventually Thor managed to set aside his selfishness and lust for combat and was able to lift Mjolnir, but still needed one important lesson taught - humility. Thor had used Mjolnir rashly in an attempt to right wrongs throughout the Nine Realms, nearly bringing about a war between Asgard and the Frost Giants that Odin had long worked to prevent. As punishment, Thor was cast out of Asgard into the human world of Midgard, and lived among humans as the crippled surgeon Donald Blake with no memory of his divine origin. Eventually, when the time for his punishment was completed, Thor was mentally summoned to a cave in Norway where Mjolnir lay dormant in the form of a walking stick. When Donald Blake struct the stick against the ground he was transformed back into the mighty Thor. Thor has been many things since that fateful day: a founding Avenger, a king of Asgard, and a hero of countless worlds, but has never forgotten his guiding principle: To protect the weak, simply because you are strong. To stand against evil, as a matter of course, purely because you can.

Powers: As a god, Thor is superhuman in basically every aspect, including lifespan, regeneration, and senses. Due to being the son of Odin, Thor is immensely strong, durable, and fast, to a much greater degree than his fellow Asgardians. Thor can call upon lightning with or without Mjolnir, although his control is less fine-tuned without it. He can also control the weather in all its various forms, and even control earthquakes due to his maternal bloodline. When equipped with Mjolnir, Thor has a huge number of powers that he uses in a fight just as often as he uses physical force. He can use Mjolnir to open portals to other places and dimensions, spin it to create vortexes, fire beams, absorb energy, and more. He has demonstrated resistance to a wide number of esoteric abilities and is a very skilled fighter and tactician.

Before he got the chance though a new Whiplash, a survivor of the village massacre that believed Tony caused it, burst into the prison while Pepper Potts was visiting in order to kill him.

“A dozen or so guys and one girl, nearly as strong as you and I are! Didn’t you read your own diary entry? That’s where you said that if a race like that ever fought amongst themselves, they were liable to wipe out civilization in the crossfire!”

But they’re not fighting amongst themselves, are they, boy? They went off to conquer humanity, not make war against each other. As for what you call ‘civilization’, the hell with it! What did men’s civilization ever do for Hugo Danner?

Hugo Danner is the result of his father chemically experimenting on his pregnant wife. Superhumanly strong and durable since birth, his parents tried to give him a moral upbringing, but Hugo felt distant from others at an early age. As he grew, every attempt to help others ended in failure or simply wasn’t enough. Hugo grew disillusioned with his power and the world and dreamed futilely of squeezing continents into submission, of ruling the universe. He considered using his father’s formula to create a master race but ultimately couldn’t go through it after the life he’d lived. He half-prayed to, half-cursed God as he wondered why he existed, then was finally struck down by lightning.

…That’s how Philip Wylie's novel Gladiator ends, but DC eventually integrated Hugo into the comics, retroactively making him one of the 20th century’s first metahumans. He becomes the father of Iron Munro, who he conceived after faking his death. Hugo vanished in South America and used his father’s notes to create the superhuman race he’d considered before his supposed death. It ended like everything else in his life, but he gave it a shot and kicked the All-Star Squadrons’ asses, I guess.

Some feats will be from The Sons of Dawn, children of a South American tribe that Hugo gave a similar treatment to himself with some substitutions. Though they’re superhuman, he explicitly says they aren’t as strong as he is. All feats are from DC’s Young All-Stars.

However, the rainstorm that was coming down around that time disoriented him, leading him astray and causing him to cross paths with one of the park's resident dinosaurs, the Dilophosaurus. Such an encounter would, naturally prove fatal for Dennis.

comics Respect Mr. Fantastic’s Iron Man Armor (Marvel, 616)

24 Upvotes

Mr. Fantastic of the Fantastic Four, actually. Though Iron Man is here in spirit.


During the Cotati's invasion of Earth, Tony Stark made an Iron Man-like suit of armor that he designed for Mister Fantastic, leader of the Fantastic Four.

Mister Fantastic donned the armor for the final confrontation against the Cotati's leader Quoi in Wakanda, where he planned to plant a seed for a Death Blossom in the Vibranium-enriched soil of the Great Mound. Mister Fantastic joined the fight against Quoi minutes before the Death Blossom flowered, resulting in a fight that saw the destruction of the Death Blossom and the defeat of the Cotati.

Following the Cotati's invasion, Mister Fantastic intended to set his armor aside as a Christmas gift for his son Franklin. When the abstract entity known as the Griever at the End of All Things returned and attacked the Fantastic Four, Reed gave Franklin the suit as part of a plan to defeat their enemy.

Respect Kilowog

"Talk later, poozers. First, we save lives."

Kilowog is the Green Lantern of Sector 674, hailing from the planet Bolovax Vik. Selected to be his people's representative on the Green Lantern Corps thanks to his background as a geneticist, Kilowog began training alongside a number of other recruits under the legendary Green Lantern drill sergeant Ermey. During a mission Kilowog was able to take control of an enemy cannon and used it to push them back, but Ermey was fatally wounded during the attack. With his dying breath Ermey gave Kilowog his approval as a Green Lantern before passing away.

Years later Kilowog took up Ermey's old job as drill instructor, where he trained hundreds if not thousands of fresh Green Lantern recruits, including Lanterns such as Hal Jordan and Guy Gardner. Kilowog's planet was destroyed during the the Crisis of Infinite Earths. But before his people could perish he absorbed all of them into his ring as pure energy, keeping them safe until he could find them a new planet. However as soon as he revived them all their new planet was destroyed by Sinestro. Over the next few years Kilowog bounced around super teams on Earth, ranging from the New Guardians to the Justice League International, before returning to the Green Lanterns as drill sergeant once again.

"Eventually people will wonder, did the Ultimates ever really exist, or were they just a myth? Only the council will know the truth."

When The Maker went back in time to rebuild the world in his own image, he found he was too late to prevent the accident that turned Bruce Banner into Hulk. So instead of simply killing Hulk off like he had done with many others, he instead offered him to join his council. Hulk accepted, and while this Hulk is not as cruel as his original Ultimate counterpart, he is seemingly more evil than him.

Ronald Lithgow, Concrete


"There will always be barriers between me and what normal people can do. But every adult must eventually face the limitations of his life. We don't get to do and have everything. We play the cards we're dealt."


Ron Lithgow was an aspiring author stuck penning speeches for a middling US Senator until the day aliens transplanted his mind into a huge stone golem. The government quickly stepped in to cover up his transformation as the result of a full-body medical prosthetic, but nevertheless, he quickly became a celebrity overnight. Seeing his path to literary achievement, Lithgow adopted the new name Concrete, and sought out bold experiences testing the limits of his new body so he could live a life interesting enough to write about.

Feats from other people transplanted into stone bodies will be marked [Other]

Note that Concrete: Strange Armour is a retelling of his origin the author says in the introduction to the trade paperback edition that he likes better than the original version from Concrete #3. Feats from both versions are included here.
