Sorry for the lack of posting there. I thought I was on a roll for a while there but then the old problem of having too much work and not enough time reared its ugly head once again. Man, that's an ugly head. I even had a sketch of some Avengers I was going to scan 'n post.
So, speaking of ugly heads, here is some info one of the most ugly heads of Marvel. No, not MODOK. He deserves better attention than a time-starved posting. No I'm talking about Animus--
In fact, this guy was giving Captain America a run for his money, at the same time he was trying to break in a new-fangled team idea -- the SHIELD Super Soldiers. But then Animus turned out to be one of the SHIELD Super Soldiers, but in a way you didn't see coming. Turns out, the token hot chick member of the SSS everyone knew as Vamp was actually capable of turning into Animus! It was a part of a wicked-sounding plot by the normal-sounding Corporation. Was it a veiled commentary on the tropes of gender stereotyping as typically employed in a kids' medium, or was it just a cheap plot twist? Even if it was the former, I think everyone will only remember the latter.
But then Vamp went and got killed in the clearing-house massacre that wiped out The Bar With No Name, but then got resurrected by a former Nazi mad scientist and tried to mislead Deadpool. As you can imagine, Deadpool had a lot to say about Vamp's true super-power being able to turn into a dude. A dude with a big head. Veiled commentary on the male penchant for objectifying feminine beauty, or a good opportunity for low-brow comedy? Yeah. I think you know.
