Remember when Luke Cage stole the Fantastic Four's jet so he could go to Latveria and get back his $200 from Dr Doom Sup Forums?

it's not about the money. it's about respect.

YOU CAN'T HUSTLE A HUSTLER

>stole
They let him borrow it on the grounds that he needed something big enough to carry his giant balls.

Why would DOOM need $200 from Cage?
Did he need to pawn a few DOOMbots too?

He didn't borrow Luke's money, he hired him for a job then ditched without paying.

$200 was a lot of fucking dosh back then.

See. Doom's a trifling ass welching little buster. Nigga runs a fucking country and he can't shell out $200 fucking bucks for a job well done. Cheap ass bitch.

Storytime? Storytime.

...

...

...

But, also, it was about the money. Two hundred bucks was a lot of dosh in 1970.

...

...

Wow Secret wars sounds like an awesome read!

...

>all those villains holding him back from attacking Doom Scrappy-Doo style

Oh I can already tell I'm going to love this.

...

Luke has some serious anger problems in his earliest issues.

George Simms is like school on a Sunday
No class.

...

...

Fucking robots!

...

That 4th panel is so telling. The white devil keeps the black man down with the plow!

Hey Vic.

Do any comics still do descriptive narrarating like this?

Sorry about being so slow, I've been having some connection problems

Nothing comes to mind.
I'm enjoying it here since it helps sell the whole crime movie style.

It's definitely more of a Bronze Age thing.

>fortunately

...

...

I love it when they use a piece of the scenery to bound an exposition bubble. It adds something more than a simple box of text.

...

Would you watch a movie of Luke Cage getting stiffed after a job and then fighting everyone in his path to get his money, Sup Forums?

It would be like a superhero version of Mel Gibson's "Payback."

...

YOU DON'T WELCH ON LUKE CAGE

Brutal.

>didn't just skip town without paying
>closed the embassy so Cage can't even leave a bill
>no forwarding address except Latveria

Doom confirmed for absolute cheapskate

DOOOOOOOOOM!

It better be called "Where's My Money, Honey?"

what on earth are these guys saying to eachother

...

If it was set in the 70's, yeah.

When you say may name, put some respeck on it.

>set in the 70's
>waka-chicka-waka-chicka funk soundtrack
>yellow shirt, boots, and metal headband costume
I would sell organs to see that.

...

Same

Ever watch Black Dynamite? It's that kind of slang.

>
>Primus, Leader of Robots

HA!

...

>Reed: "So wait, you want to borrow the Fantadticar just so you can go fuck with Victor's shit and ask him to pay you money?"
>Cage: "Yeah?"
>Reed: "That's hilarious. Of course you can have the Fantasticar."

There is no way Reed didn't do this just to troll Vic.

Bitches love Luke Cage's spunk.

>use 100,000 dollar rocket to get 200 dollars

...

Only thing to do.

Reed knows it's ridiculous.
He also knows it'll offend Victor plenty and make his life miserable and he doesn't even have to do anything.

...

>"Do you SEE ME COMIN' you jiva MUTHAFUCKAAAAS?!"

...

Why are Doom's soldiers dressed like WInnie the Pooh?

Look at Reed's shit-eating grin on panel 3.
He knows he's finally going to get back at Doom for all the bullshit he's pulled.

Back before Reed was a complete tool he could commit strategic trolling strikes.

...

Doom appreciates the elegant work of A.A. Milne, and all whom live in Latveria shall do so as well or face Doom's wrath.

I just love the idea that literally their entire rivalry is based on an ever-escalating series of trolling and pranks since collage that has gotten way out of hand at this point but neither is willing to stop.

It also nicely explains how they remain frenemies in the newer comics.

... didn't these guys want to kill all humans a few pages ago?

...

Reed built a flying car because Doom once put his college car on the roof of the dormitory. He couldn't figure out how Doom did it, so he spent years figuring out how to never get stuck like that again.

...

Well, a huge random nigger just bursted into the Baxter Building and started fighting the fantastic four because he wants a free plane ticket to get his 20 bucks back.
Reeds is just scared shitless.
> A-all r-right Luke Cage, I'll L-LOAN you some t-transportation
> P-please take my wallet too, just don't hurt me

And here we are.

It was 200$, Victor. You better stop posting on Sup Forums and give Luke his money already.

...

>No one ever emigrates from Latveria

Jesus, Doom. Do you really need further proof that he's a tyrannical despot?

...

>be one of Dr. Doom's goons
>have a Master's Degree in Fantastic Four Studies from Latveria University so that I can beat my master's most hated foes.
>Now's my chance! My star will shine bright!
>caught completely unprepared by a raging negro. Haven't even seen one before - Doom himself said Latveria has no blacks.

They're Bender-style, d it when it's convenient.

>"Where's my money, honey?"
Literally the GOAT Luke Cage moment, the only thing that comes even close is him waiting to be arrested for doing nothing in Civil War.

...

What ? You're still trying to steal my 15$ Cage ? You sorely try my PATIENCE and my renowned GOOD NATURE !
You'll never get my 10$ Cage !

>anything coming close to the first fifty issues of Hero for Hire
wrong

...

>"You hit me a bunch! Nobody's ever tried hitting me a bunch before! They only ever do it once!"

And Reed's triumph deepens.

I have a bill with your name on it, honkey!

If it ends up being Marvels version of Black Dynamite I would pay so much to see it.

Apparently Bethesda got the plot of Fallout 4 from panel 6.

No fucks given.

bump for a man just tryin' to make a living.

One time it was pointed out that there is a passageway specifically where you will not be molested

But now the more striking thing is doomsie just has two hundred bucks in his broken robot armor and rags

...

>Doom pays him
>He counts the money anyway
Is it even POSSIBLE to write comic book characters this based anymore?
Truly we are living in the fallen age of comics.

The end. Thanks for reading with me!

Goddammit Doom. Now he's just being a dick.

Yeees

You're going to still tune in like a zombie to "MCU The Wire"

Did Byrne retcon this to be a Doombot? Because this seems like something Byrne would retcon to be a Doombot.

Wait, Medusa was a FF member at one point? That's a weird coincidence since Johnny and Medusa are a thing now.
