The Picture Thread Vol. 14: ♫ Very Superstitious ♫

Technically, this belongs in the Who thread, but it is so full of sass and superiority that everyone should experience it

This is missing the "identify yourselves" bit.

Is this from JMS' run?

[Michael Heide Heide Finition Find all posts View Profile Close Michael Heide]

Yes, one of the early issues. 4 or 5 or something like that.

I sort of remember this happening shortly after Thor returns from the dead and learns that the Avengers created a clone of him

Just a brief aside: could they actually pull that off?

I believe they could and in fact did, because when I watch the episode over and over, I don't recall seeing any Dalek casualties, but the ground was littered with dead Cybermen. I think the Daleks have a superior class of armament. Even if it still looks like a toilet plunger and egg beater.

Yeah, possibly. It's funny because I've been watching some old episodes lately and the Daleks were so easy to beat. In the first show, all they had to do was knock them off their metal platforms. Even in the late 80s Ace kills one with a baseball bat. But in the new show, their shields make them nearly invincible, so theoretically it wouldn't matter how many Cybermen attacked. If they didn't devise a weapon that could get through the Daleks' shields or somehow override master controls, they'd lose.

They could make the Daleks sad, that worked in several episodes.

One does not simply clone a god without asking for permission first.

Cool.

How does one ask a dead demi-god?

It was a joke.

Why "demi"? In contrast to Hercules or Wonder Woman, Thor's parents are both divine.

Right, that was the Ultimate Universe where he wasn't omnipotent, right?

No, he was omnipotent there, too, just not right away. It was kind of a play on the whole "banished to Earth without knowledge of his past" thing.
