Vision showed up as a bleached bone color for a bit too, but I don't remember him in anything superman I've seen.

Ah hah... you're right!



The memories are coming back to me now!

I vaguely remember the bleached bone Vision over the lol-colorblind version.

He was always phasing in and out of people like some - lets be frank here - robotic rapist.

I thought you might have been thinking of that game. I actually still have the Genesis cassette for it.

They did an Age of Ultron comic event recently. I haven't read it, as Marvel has gone to crap in the past few years, in the comics (Spidey dies, cyclops in jail after offing the Xavier clone, Colossus-Juggernaut...they aren't even trying). But that arc may shed some light for you. Wiki it too, if you aren't interested in the full arc, as the HC is a pretty hefty volume.

Well thankfully ya know, the stories progress..

1) Ultimate Spider-Man died and was replaced by Miles Morales (this is a great thing!), also when Peter died while in Doc Ock's body, he eventually came back (I think it was dumb how it happened, but the ASM movie was almost out, so they couldn't confused potential new readers)

2) Cyclops broke out of jail somewhere between the end of AvX and the start of All New X-Men #1

3) Colossus sheds the Mantle of the Juggernaut sometime in the AvX story (the first issue's cover has him all Jugger'd out, but in the comic he's normal, and post AvX, he's not even really Colossus anymore because of the Phoenix Force)

Yeah, the Age of Ultron storyline is hefty to say the least, I keep debating picking it up, but there are so many other interesting storylines (like a gun-toting Batman in Flashpoint!) that I keep putting it off.

I really dislike the Phoenix force taking over the entire X-team too. Seems like it loses its flair (or would flare be more appropriate here?) by doing that. And ugh...Miles Morales is a good thing? Hell no. He gets bit around the same time as Spidey, but hides it until Spidey dies and he decides the world needs a Spider-Man. No. Spider-Man is Peter Parker. Not some weak second stringer who got spun out of thin air, but "was always around". I read the first issue and hated it, refused to read another. Has it gotten better? It must have, or it would have died. But the concept was stupid and should never have existed. The Ultimate storyline should have died in Ultimatum, as it was supposed to.

Not in the Ultimate universe. This is a good thing, because I don't need two separate Peter Parkers, as they should be different characters; if it was just the same thing it would be silly and redundant. It was a better story arc than the main comic had done in a very long time. Superior Spiderman would have been a better story if it weren't for the way they brought Peter back into it.

I thought the Phoenix Force being split up was probably the only thing that could have happened when Tony blasted it with a Go-Bot's inbred cousin. Experimental Tech meant to blow up a cosmic force... probably not going to go according to plan, so I was fine with it. And be glad because we'll never have to see the Phoenix Force again*.

Miles was 'not always' around. He was bit by a spider infused with the Oz Formula recreated from Parker's blood. Sure Parker was only about 3 years older than Miles, but he wasn't bitten around the same time Parker was. Also as for the "Ultimate Comics" universe, it's a place where Marvel can goof-around and change the canon of the world without ya know, changing the canon of the world. Miles is a Spider-Man with similar, and yet different challenges we know Parker faced. It's a solid book.

Edit: For full disclosure, I hate how they rebooted the Amazing Spider-Man series either.. :-\

The important question is, how many of you stayed until the very end of the film to see the second secret scene? Hmm? Anyone else?

Possibly, but how famous is any 'famous' surgeon outside of the medical profession? How many surgeons can you name, that you haven't had to contract for their skills?

In the 90's and early 00's, I could name plenty of surgeons(Dr. Ochsner, Dr. Gershanik, Raoul Rètard to name a few) without having actual gone under the knife(never have in my life), but that's because my father was a big name in the medical community(worked at Carville while it was a leper hospital, started the Ochsner Foundation's Podiatry department, etc.). He still gets asked to write for medical journals and text books. I'd keep meeting these people that were known to be a big deal or meet people who knew who my father was.

Apparently, there actually are certain circles that keep track of this stuff as foreign higher ups will often fly to America asking for certain doctors(a middle eastern prince in my father's case).

Dr. Oz
Dr. Ruth
Dr. Phil (lol)
Sanjay Gupta
Ron Paul
Rand Paul

Just because it isn't a long list doesn't mean there aren't well known doctors. Let us also not forget this is reality and the idea of a famous surgeon isn't exactly so fantastic to be untenable. And yes, I wanted to list Tom Baker, Matt Smitt, et al but refrained.

You forgot the most famous doctor of all:

Dr. Dre

Well, ya know how the song goes...

Nowadays everybody wanna talk like they got something to say but nothing comes out when they move their lips just a bunch of gibberish and melon fethers act like they forgot about Dre

Anyone wondering is they can somehow fit in Civil War storline at all?

Also, Disney already supports Metahuman Registration. Proof: The Incredibles.
