Technically speaking, wouldn't that have been Deodato's doing?

I guess it depends on where Marvel was when he was growing up.

:smt011 :smt011 :smt011 Neither of you are playing right.

Apparently, everything at DC is Didio's fault so logically, Norman's O-face has to be Joey Q's fault.

Under Didio they would blame Parallax for Cyclop's actions like Hal.

I wouldn't say everything but a lot of things technically.

Technically, JMS never wanted Norman to be the father but was going for Peter until editorial interference caused him to change it to Osborn-Even he has openly stated that he never agreed with the direction that abomination went.

DiDio would be a perfect fit at Marvel. He has the Marvel Mindset: Pile on the most excessive amount of Wangst and Darker and Edgier as humanly possible.

This is why he's so horrible at DC; the DCU isn't supposed to be Whiny, Piss-Poor Excuse for a "Hero" Central. You're supposed to look UP at the DC protagonists, not down on them. They're not meant to be "Hated and feared by a world they've sworn to protect!" And the Justice League isn't supposed to be a motley crew of obnoxious jerks. But that's exactly what we're getting out of Dan's utterly Marvelized DCnU. We can't even have a noble Superman or an upbeat Billy Batson/Captain Marvel anymore; they both have to be dragged through the mud so that some readers can find them "relatable!" in the Mighty Marvel Manner.

Disney should approach Dan immediately and ask, "When can you start??"

Somehow I don't see that going well if Didio worked at Disney becuase he would probably have Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy get killed off.

Have you been following the phone-tapping case in the UK that got the News of the World paper canned?? Who has been getting most of the blame for it?? News Corp. CEO Rupert Murdoch.

If you don't want to be held responsible for the actions of your subordinates, GET OUTTA THE BIG CHAIR.

He won't be working with the Disney characters at Marvel.
He'll have to be satisfied with killing off Jean Grey again... and AGAIN... and AGAIN...

Plus, he would make Sentry more of a whiny loser than possible like with Superboy Prime. Heck, he would even have it revealed that Sentry throw a retcon punch and undo Peter and MJ's marriage instead of Mephisto.

Jean Grey, comics' great snuff star.

With Didio, she'd end up in a fridge at least once... maybe twice...
