Whose Side Am I On? Let's Be Honest...
Tony Stark is a Drunk. A Drunk Superhero that flys around in a big Red-and-Gold Suit of Armour. In essence, Tony Stark is a Drunk Driver Trying to Save the World.
What am I talking about? Iron Man, of course. Marvel just started a HUGE MEGA DELUXE INFINITE CRISIS CROSSOVER CALLED "Civil War."
The premise? Cliff's Notes Version: The government passes a "Superhero Registration Act" requring all superheroes to take off their masks, register with the government, and be trained. Basically like cops, so that they can be held responsible for the actions. It's poignant, timely, and political. Pretty cool, with one issue out so far.
Anyway, when the $#!+ hits the fan, the heroes split into two groups. Cap's group is decidedly AGAINST registration, because he feels that it's an infringement on privacy and other rights. Basically, when the government controls the heroes, the government tells you who the villains are. Good point, Cap.
Tony Stark (Iron Man) on the other hand, has a bunch of high-and-mighty heroes (Like that Prick, Reed Richards) feeling like registration is the way to go. They feel that accountability is good for heroes, blah blah. Which is all well and good, until (As Spider-Man so eloquently puts it) "I come home to find my wife impaled on an octopus arm and the woman that raised me begging for her life."
it's just pots and pans, tis all. Anyway, the tagline leading up to the Event is "Whose Side Are You On."
I'm pretty sure we can tell where I'm going with this.
Frak that Drunk.
And go check out Civil War. Not your daddy's funnybooks. Really. I'm going to make Jerry read it, and see what he thinks....
in the meantime, be good to each other, and watch out for billionaire playboys with bad goatees sucksing down vodka and flying around in suits of armour. you heard it here first.
