Comic book message boards are a lot of fun. They’re a place to escape from the regular pressures of life and just hang out and chat about unimportant but fun things. But sometimes people raise serious topics. When I see a topic that intrigues me, and I get the time, I might summarize it here.

The first page is based on a recent thread at the Fantastic Four message board, started by ‘Professor Randall Dowling’ and freely adapted with his blessing. Others’ comments are covered briefly. Special thanks to all those who gave permission for me to misrepresent and mangle their words.

Topic 1: if superheroes were real...

Topic 2: superheroes and fascism
