1. Well, aside from the Edison City stories ... :) I have to say, one I really liked was an animated movie that's hard to find now; it was one Marvel did called "Hulk Vs.". It was really two stories put together, Hulk Vs. Wolverine and Hulk Vs. Thor. It's exactly what it sounds like: in the first one Wolverine and a group of others (including Deadpool as I recall) go after the Hulk. The second one is my true favorite, though: Loki uses dark magic to split Bruce Banner from the Hulk and then unleashes the Hulk against Asgard, just as Odin is going into the Odinsleep. So you get a good solid half-hour of Hulk just SMASHING his way through all the forces of Asgard, and it's honestly a joy. (I mean, not good, but still). I won't spoil it, but it's the best.
2.. No, alas: I never got into them as a kid, and never really did later. Tried once or twice, but I always felt like I was in the middle of an ongoing story. Also as a kid my buying choices were limited to pretty much Archie and Co. So, y'know.
3. I try not to think about that. Maybe peanut butter sandwiches, I guess? Ice cream before it melts? I don't know. I. Don't. Know.
Favorite Superhero story - Dragonball, the story goes from light-hearted to serious while having Goku with a "Flat" character arc. His feats might grow but the basic qualities of the character stay the same.
I've read a lot of Manga, a bunch of Spiderman, Some batman. I liked the "Old Man Logan" series. comics scratch an itch but I'm usually reading long after they come out.
I had the power go out for me for 3 days. On day 2 we made a pizza using a propane grill. I've cooked cobblers over campfires, but if the power is out I'm probably worried about the stuff that goes bad quick, and hope power comes back on so I can have coffee in the morning since I only have an electric kettle.
Prompt idea. Going on a trip with a bunch of fans for something you don't have any clue about.
1. Hard to choose. Daredevil: Born Again has long been one of my favorites, though that's more of a thriller than a superhero story. Kingdom Come is another contender that comes to mind, or perhaps X-Men: The Dark Phoenix Saga.
2. Yes, since 1992. They're taking up far too much space in my home, but it's a good problem to have.
3. I guess that would impose a strict deadline on eating my cold cuts.
1: The Dark Knight because, by making batman a part in a larger crime story, it makes the story more than just a superhero movie.
2: no I don't read comics. For many reasons.
3: I'll just eat all the fruit in my fridge before it goes bad.
“There has always been trouble. There will always be trouble. What will you do after I am dead?”
...something many superheroes could easily put philosophically to the citizens of the towns and cities where they operate.
Now *THAT'S* a wham line! Very nice!

🤣 Superheroes can be super flaky.
Is that a portrait of The Dude?
LOL no i think it is an elderly man from India
It really tied the story together, man.
Powerful and well done, Scoot! You hit on the conflict and resolution succinctly in a short piece.
