The 7th Most Intelligent Person In The World Doesn't Read Back Issues

Because I never tire of beating a long-dead horse, let's go back and re-examine Greg Pak's theory (as expounded by Amadeus Cho) that no one ever died in one of the Hulk's rampages:

Those panels are from Incredible Hulk # 110 & 111 (2007).

(What the hell ever happened to Cho, anyway?)

Anyway, there is at least one case that young Amadeus seems to have missed. Having just finished a dust-up with Dr. Doom, the Hulk is trying to swim home...but he is spotted by a Russian naval destroyer:

Well, Hulk dragged the entire ship underwater, to crush depth, and all the munitions exploded.

Still sticking with "not a single soldier has died," Mr. Cho?

And as the Hulk swims away:

The Hulk swims so hard that he makes a tidal wave hit the "unprepared coastline."

Still going to insist that no innocents were ever killed by the Hulk, Mr. Cho?

Yes, I realize that I am the only person in the world who cares about this...

From Incredible Hulk #145 (1971)

It's About Time Somebody Said It

Thank you, Warren Worthington III.

Panels of someone finally speaking the truth to naive super-brat Amadeus Cho appears in Incredible Hulk #111. Now if someone can explain to "Mastermind Excello" that you can't forcibly evacuate the biggest city in the country and destroy half of it without somebody dying, I'll be happy.

GAARD! Speaks!!--Amadeus Cho?!?

Hi, everybody....GAARD!!! here.

I know this Snell guy has been mocking me pretty relentlessly, and I've just got to defend myself. I certainly am NOT the lamest character ever in the Marvel Universe, and I'm doubly certain that I do not have the worst name ever.

Take, for example, Amadeus Cho. He's been getting a lot of good press lately, and GAARD!! just wants to make two points.


First of all, when a teenager keeps telling you how smart he is, he's usually not. 7th smartest person in the world?? Yeah, right.

Secondly, laugh at GARRD!! as you will, one fact is indisputable: Mastermind Excello is the STUPIDEST name for anyone, hero or villain, ever. It sounds like a new type of squeegee mop. Really. Mastermind Excello. If he really were so smart, he'd find a way to make people stop calling him that. Mastermind Excello. Snort.

And by the way, it's not a hockey stick--it's a COSMIC SCEPTRE!! Show some respect!

GAARD!! is from the inimitable Fantastic Four #163. Picture of *snort* Mastermind Excello *guffaw* is from Hulk #110.
