Power Man and Iron Fist Storytime (Part 13)

Welcome back, Anons. Time for Power Man, Iron Fist, and the glowy ball

Sorry for the delay. Between fireworks at midnight last night and being called in for work today, I didn't have the time to do the thread.

>the glowy ball

Are we getting another Dazzler crossover? Is this cover set in a weird disco?

What do you say we try and fill up this entire thread to make up for it?

That motherfucker is HIGH AS SHIT.

Also, no prob on the missed thread.

Normally I'd snark and say yes, but no, we're safe from Dazzler for the forseeable future.

Seriously, have you seen the feud between Luke Cage and the Soda Machine? He's got experience fucking with electronics.

Oh, and before I forget, we're basically squeezing these issues just under the image limit, so please, no pictures.

>"It's a Yacht, they tell me. I bought it."
>"I am a multi-millionare, remember? If I want to indulge a whim or two, why shouldn't I?"
>Danny dressed like a Captain
>He named the boat Misty

There's so much I love about this damn page...

...

Hey look, Curly Haired Danny!

That Steward is clearly going to try to rob Danny.

On Misty's hair in the last thread and it being down- I read that scene as her being recently showered.

>Danny gives a long heart-to-heart story to the woman he loves and his oldest friend
>Said oldest friend seems to ignore him and straight up steals his hat

>Buys Yacht
>Mostly so he learns better balance for the next time he needs to Kung Fu on top of a moving truck.

And here we see confirmation that Danny still does "technically" have a secret identity, even though he almost literally has done NOTHING to protect that secret.

Well, Colleen SHOULD understand the whole K'un-Lun conflict he's having if the mind meld still has any impact on either of them. Also, she knows how to leave, hanging sock on doorknob.

...

>"Pardon me, may I have a moment of your time?"

Danny is the most polite Living Weapon, isn't he?

...

How long do you think Luke and Danny just stood there? I like to imagine they waited a bit before the henchmen noticed.

>"These dyna-blasters pack enough power to flatten a brick wall!"
>Doesn't even tease Luke's shirt

...

>"Did you ever see such unladylike behavior?"

Marvel civilians, everyone! Getting saved from armed men, and they're still starting shit.

...

And here the star of our story is, the Glowy Ball!

I'm sure you clever Anons have noticed, but for the ones who haven't been paying attention, these guys have been shitting themselves at the sight of Iron Fist. At the same time though, they haven't given Luke a second thought.

...

>"Do you need a sales slip to return a yacht?"

Does anyone here know if you CAN return a yacht?

Wow, you weren't gone for long, huh?

>Does anyone here know if you CAN return a yacht?

High end merchants are I think generally happy to take returns, because their repeat customers basically expect everything and a blowjob given to them.

I need to start saying "How's tricks?" more.

Huh, go figure.

Oh hey, remember DW's movie?

Turning people's clothes into phosphorous is way more monstrous a move than this page makes it out to be.

...

I dunno, once he's in the hospital they start mentioning how fucked it is.

...

...

Man, given that one bit of his training montage, can you imagine how weird the rest of it was?

I feel like it should've been easy for him to jump over the coal and kick Chemistro in the face.
But what do I know, I'm no living weapon.

So he's a "Villain for Hire"?

...

So this page admits that Danny owns video games and movies.
What do you think he got, considering this was in '83.

This is, in my opinion, a good character page for Luke.

I haven't actually read much Iron Man, so the fact that this doesn't give any specific issues, I've never bothered to figure out what OG Chemistro was specifically involved in.

...

I like to pretend this is a dig at Silver Age Superman.

...

Just about every time Chemistro shows up, it seems like it ends up going down to a Luke vs. Chemestro one-on-one battle.

I can't tell if this is one of those Shounen Anime "the hero has to do this for his own honor" things, or if this is just Marvel Civilians being jackasses.

Marvel Civlians being jackasses it is!

>Luke walks through multiple Nitroglycerin explosions
>His shirt only gets a few holes

I don't know exactly how much force those explosions would do, but I feel like this may be another benchmark for Luke Cage's durability's Power Creep.

>What do you think he got, considering this was in '83.
He's rich, so all of them- Colecovision, Atari, Intellivision.

This is '82, so it might be around Demon in a Bottle, given that Rhodey is Iron Man by the time Secret Wars hits.

After how, during Busiek's run these little shits have been calling him an Oreo at worst, and been generally unhelpful at best, is anyone surprised at Luke's decision here?

I think that might be A Pimp Named Solace, so it's probably just petty "Luke Cage ain't actin' Black enough" bs.

Oh god, I love this character, for no reason other than her origin is completly insane. You'll... you'll see what I mean.

'83, actually, but why would that effect Original Recipe Chemistro?

I was listening to The Protomen's CDs while working today (shut up, my car radio doesn't work), and by god, these shits are even worse than the civilians there.

When your boss is a self destructive alcoholic with a flying robot suit, chaos insues.

Honestly I haven't read those issues either. I'm just working backwards from what I do know.

Yet again, these guys are terrified of Iron Fist, and Iron Fist specifically.

Whenever I see the line "X does as s/he pleases," all I can think of is that bit from Spidey Super Stories. You all know the one, right?

>"Doom does as he pleases!"
>Toot!

Okay, scratch that, Demon in a Bottle was '79. BUT this IS right around when Rhodey became Iron Man because Tony was falling off the wagon.

INKS

Lady, ignoring the fact that these guys are total fucking shitheads, and the fact that they were literally standing out of his apartment throwing shit at his window, you live in fucking New York City. There's so many superheroes in this city you can't throw a rock without hitting someone in a mask.

Colleen is surprisingly cute here.

i know what you're talking about but that does sound like something straight outta Lee/Kirby.

Doom's such a strong character

Aw, I didn't want to say it until we finished with all three of his issues. Yeah, THE Mike Mignola inked three issues of Power Man & Iron Fist.

>yfw see Iron Fist fight a villain on roller skates

Sadly my torrent of Spidey Super Stories is taking forever, because there's no seeds.

Why doesn't he have a prosthetic leg? That crutch shit must be getting old.

No, I didn't forget about this page, this is DANNY fighting on roller skates, not Iron Fist. I'm not counting it.

...

Okay, this "kick the roller skates into the faces of henchmen" trick is pretty cool.

...

>Colleen is surprisingly cute here.
Oh, it's no surprise. She's frequently cute.

Luke regularly letting his temper get away from him and eating a meal of his own foot is a great character flaw that I think has completely disappeared.

For those of you who haven't been keeping up, "Rand-Kai" is Danny's K'un-Lun name. Well, it's his father's. If memory serves, he got it when he was adopted by Yu-Ti's father.

Danny desperately needs the Katy Keene/Millie the Model audience to send in some fashion ideas this issue. That sweater is practically Cosbyan.

Luke's always been fairly easy to anger. We haven't seen how bad his temper can get.

>Roller Skate fighting
>And not Rollerball style

That's Dazzler enough.

>Fera is literally the humanoid form of one of the wolves that killed and ate Danny's mother a the foot of the Magical Kung Fu City in another dimension

I can't think of a character premise that's more "COMICS!" than Fera here, and I'm so bummed she's such a minor character.

I dunno, I like the idea that Danny has no fashion sense.

...

He pays people to have a fashion sense FOR him.

It would hardly be the stupidest thing he's spent money on.

Between her eyes and how light her skin is today (they ran out of hairstyles, apparently) I thought Harmony was asian for a bit here.

...

And one meeting with a helpless old woman is enough for Luke to change his mind.

Oh look, it's Black Cyclops and Black Hawkeye!

...

If these two morons don't end up on Cageflix it's a missed opportunity.

They could be the series' Bebop and Rocksteady.

Shades and Comanche, clothing damage, and his war with the Soda Machine, is there anything else we need?

And his bow/quiver is even purple!

Am I just really tired, or does Danny look really big on this page?

And now we have a name for who's been in charge of the Iron Fist side of Busiek's run, "Masterlord".

...

They are just Tiny Women.

I mean his proportions. His shoulders look broader than I expect.

And yet another example of Jeryn's character. He's morally gray and more than a little greedy, but when backed into a corner he's still on Danny's side.

The fact that he clearly approves of what he thinks is just Danny being manipulative is kind of fucked up, but still...
