Rick Jones. Thank you. Goodnight.
Ok so maybe not everyone’s favorite but he does have to be Marvel’s number one go to guy for sidekicks. Beadle pretty much sums Rick up right here:
“But Rick wins. Always.
He partnered Cap as Bucky.
He led directly to the creation of the Hulk, partnered Big Green on many occasions, and even became a Hulk (back long before Loeb took control and everyone became a Hulk).
He led directly to the formation of the Avengers, and is an honorary member.
He partnered TWO different Captain Marvels, including stopping a major cosmic war.
He was the focus of Avengers Forever, a sotry that changed a lot of things including (but not limited to): Hank Pym becoming less mentally unstable when Yellowjacket and Giant Man were merged, Genis being bonded to Rick, and The Agents of A.T.L.A.S.
So Cap, Hulk, Mar Vell, Genis Vell, and the Avengers. Rick is the Sidekick Supreme.”
I think AFN had the right idea though when it came to the thread’s true purpose when he posted this (which for me is my pick as well):
“Bob, Agent of Hydra!
This is about best or most prolific, it is favorite. And I freaking loved Bob when Fabes was writing him.”
There was a reason he was on my Avengers team. I just love the guy. Now newcomer Jared had this suggestion and I got taken to school because I had no idea who it was:
“What would you consider Happy Hogan…other than some weird sounding sex maneuver that probably involves excrement”
Now as usual it went a bit downhill from here but you’ll have to go read the whole thread to see that stuff. I’m going to include this one as well though because it made me laugh. From AFN:
“Mine is Jonah’s mustache.”
You can find the whole thread here.
Now I forgot to mention our current stable of posts for the Avnegers tournanment last week. Well we have almost declared our winner between The Warriors 8 and Earth’s Nuttiest. Here is how the voting went down in the final vote off as well as talks for our next tournament.
Ok well that is about it. As always we have our weekly talks about what comics we got and what we either liked or disliked about them. A big discussion is going on about the so called redemption of Max Lord over in the Generation Lost thread in the DC forums. The next topic is also already up and already lighting the board on fire. Come back next week when we discuss our favorite comic book romances. It’s already getting…interesting. Some of the older topics are still getting some responses so make sure to check the old threads too. Now go to the forums and post away folks.
