Pretty self explanitory. Your favorite Superhero or Villain, maybe something obscure, maybe something mainstream. Let's see em!

Helps to say who you're "sporting" for the less comic-read who might wonder.

That's because it's part VI in a homebrew series. The first ones were crapoliciously bad animations, but the film just before the Pirkinning was a live-action film that basically parodied First Contact. You know, CPP Kickstart ending up in the past following the Korg who try to kill the rockstar Cochbrain so that his music doesn't arouse the curiosity of a passing Vulgar ship. The end result? Pirk, Info and Dwarf accidentally blow up their Korg-taken ship, Cochbrane meets the Vulgars and our heroes are trapped in a world that doesn't know frost-proof leotards and twinklers. But luckily there's hamburgers - with double cheddar.

In all honesty, there's not that many people who've seen the prequels.

Oh, hey, you hold exactly the opposite opinion that I have on that. I love when a superhumanly strong alien or magical character doesn't look it. After all, it's the magic or the alien nature that gives them the strength, not muscle. A lot of ki-energy based anime actually explicitly hits that topic.

I think it's unfair to lump Bryan Hitch and Greg Land together like that. Hitch uses models for inspiration (and openly admits it), but looking at his work on JLA and the Authority and FF4, etc, and saying that all he did is trace porn models is ridiculous when you also look at his his backgrounds, sense of scale, and even just his action. Hitch's worst flaw is that he's late all the goshdarn time.

Greg Land, on the other hand, completely denies tracing porn models while doing pages and pages of stuff like this:

I've seen all of those before, but at least for the middle one I don't care so much, unless he copied someone else's work. I think it's cool to stage photos yourself and turn them into drawings. Ex Machina isn't any less awesome a comic because Tony Harris likes to do that.

It's Land's insistence on tracing glamour/nudes/porn shots as if they're all interchangeable and acceptable as visual storytelling, and then claiming that he doesn't do that, or when he practically copies someone else's work almost line for line.
