Marvel is aware that they're stretching the bounds of plausibility with all the Wolverine appearances - that's why they've introduced Wolverine Junior and Girlverine! Now there's a whole Wolverine family! He's like Captain Marvel!

I assume that Rucka had not finished thinking about Kate's dad when 52 was being written. I think the costume seen in 52 was an older design originally intended for Batgirl.

Meanwhile, seeing heels on someone like Huntress or Black Canary sticks out like a sore thumb. Batwoman! Gah!...

If the spikes only pointed away from him, you might be able to justify them as weapons, but what's the villainous utility involved in jabbing yourself in the armpit frequently?

There was an Ultimate Spider-Man where Peter Parker (in Wolverine's body) kept stabbing himself with the...

I've read about the double-click somewhere -- hell, maybe it was in an Official Handbook. (EDIT: Damn you,...

I find the idea that Iron Fist or Casanova, stylish as they are, lack substance really odd.
