And Mind Wipes have been a staple of comics since X Men first had Xavier change people's perceptions, or Doctor Strange's illusions ( which are all mind wipes to an extent)

The only thing wrong with Identity Crisis was the flame thrower imo, other than that - I loved it.

That was more my bigger issue with the reveal

Why didn't he just use a normal gun?

I think the Austin Powers parody of that sort of thing should have been the last word on it, really.

It wasn't even like by sending Cap through his past life he was hurting him that much?

What the fuck was the point in it.

Aaaaa Cap Reborn you are one of the worst minis I've ever read.

Deathstroke was banging underage chicks (even creepier since he was old enough to have kids of his own who were older than Terra) way back in the early 80s. Pedo enough for you?

True.

How does he have his own comic again?

That's the final step, I can't imagine it's far away.

I'm not sure if I'm remembering this correctly, but I think during Geoff Johns' Avengers run the Scarecrow was about to rape two little girls before he was stopped by the Falcon.

At some point, I ask myself that question every single day.

No joke. At some point, I ask myself that fucking question EVERY SINGLE DAY. :smt011

There was a child molester during Geoff Johns run on Avengers, but I don't think it was Scarecrow. It was some normal dude Jack of Hearts flew up into orbit and left to die.

I don't recall Toyman being a pedophile either. Child killer, yes.

Yea I agree, as long as it advances the plot and the story is appropriately age-rated, the sky's the limit. The market will bear out what's acceptable or not.

Personally, I think there should be 3 ratings; General, PG-13 and NC-17.

Literally just had this discussion with a friend not a week ago.

And I do think their are lines, and I think it is a bad idea to cross them.

Someone like sabretooth is a villain I always saw as a character with no line, he was an animal and was viscous for no other reason than it was fun for him. If he's out doing stuff I think it it fits with his character.

But you can't Sandman doing that, or Dr. Doom or something.
