Where's Dum Dum, Chapter 5!!!!!

An extra tricky edition of Where's Dum Dum for you today, faithful readers...so look extra-carefully: can you find Dum Dum Dugan in this panel from Captain America #10 (1998)?

Think you've found him?

WRONG!!! 

As dramatically revealed in the completely sad and unnecessary retcon series Original Sin, Dum Dum Dugan has been dead since 1966, and EVERY single appearance since then has really been an LMD programmed by Nick Fury to believe that he's the real, original Dum Dum. So sorry...

Oh, by the way, in that panel Cap is attacking Dugan (and S.H.I.E.L.D.) because the Avenger has been possessed by Nightmare.

Of course, since Dugan is just a machine, there's no way that Nightmare could possess Dum Dum just a couple of issues later, because...

Oops!!! I guess the LMD's were so good, even Mark Waid was fooled!!

Or maybe LMD's dream of electric sheep...

Where's Dum Dum, Chapter 4!!!!

Where were we before Mother Nature so rudely interrupted?

Oh, yes, we were playing the new internet meme that walks like a man: Where's Dum Dum?

So, tell me true believers--can you find Dum Dum Dugan on this cover?!?

Oh, sorry, wrong again!!

In case you may have forgotten, the vile retcon Original Sin revealed that Dum Dum Dugan died back in 1966, and every appearance since then was a Nick Fury created love doll LMD that just thought he was Dum Dum!

So even though Dum Dum was head of the S.H.I.E.L.D. task force in charge of stopping Godzilla, and even though Dum Dum was in 23 of the 24 issues of the great Marvel series, well...he wasn't actually in any of them. Haha, Marvel fooled you!! Don't you feel silly? Don't you feel like an idiot for caring about an old series and dear old characters, when they're just blocking Marvel's quest for DARK VENGEANCE or whatever the hell it is??

Welcome to the 21st century...

Godzilla #17 is from 1978.

Where's Dum Dum, Chapter 3!!!

There are trends. There are crazes. There are irrational fads.

And then there's the viral toga party that's spreading across the nation like black mold, Where's Dum Dum?!?!

Can you find Dum Dum Dugan in these panels from Nick Fury, Agent Of S.H.I.E.L.D. #28 (1991)?

Nope! Try again...

Don't feel bad!! Wolverine was fooled, too!! As we learned in the shameful Original Sin event, Dum Dum Dugan has been dead since 1966!! Ever since then, every appearance has just been from an LMD that thought he was Dugan!!

"Hey, wait a minute," you're saying. "Wolverine is the best there is!! He has these hyper accurate senses!! How could he be fooled by an LMD?!?"

Well, calm yourself, dear reader---there's never been any indication that Logan's senses are good enough to pierce the disguise of a hyper-accurate robot, and---

--oh. Never mind.

I guess Logan was just slacking in that S.H.I.E.L.D. issue. Or maybe he had a cold...

That last bit was, of course, from X-Men #100 (1976)

Where's Dum Dum, Chapter 2!!

It's time again for the hot new game that's sweeping the nation--Find Dum Dum!!

Can you find Dum Dum Dugan in this panel from Thor #337 (1983)?

Sorry--wrong!!!

In the spectacularly terrible Original Sin, we learned that Dum Dum Dugan died back in 1966--and every single appearance since was from an LMD that thought he was a real boy!!

And that includes the classic Walt Simonson run on Thor!! Yet another story marred by the world's worst retcon!

Sorry, folks--try again tomorrow!!

Where's Dum Dum, Chapter 1!

Hey, it's time for a new, exciting, recurring feature here at Slay Monstrobot!!

Can you find Dum Dum Dugan on this cover?

Try again--can you find Dum Dum in this panel?

WRONG--He's in neither of those pictures!! According to the dire Original Sin event, Dum Dum Dugan has been dead since 1966!! Every appearance since has been by one of a series of LMD's that thought Dugan!!

Hahahaha, don't you feel silly now?

Join us throughout the month for more "Where's Dum Dum?"!!!
