"Whatever you do, DON'T CONTRADICT THE CONTINUITY! They'll. Eat. You. Alive! Look at what happened to Bendis! He wrote stories where the Absorbing Man was a rapist and Doctor Doom called people fat, and he only had a high-profile career as a top Marvel and DC writer for TWO DECADES after that! EATEN ALIVE, JESSICA!"

shhhh, we don't talk about Doom wearing an armor made from the flesh of his one true love, or that time he went back in time and was eaten by a shark or that time Luke Cage hounded him for $200.

THOSE ARE ALL LIES PERPETRATED BY THAT ACCURSED RICHARDS.

Ah, this one is on me. I was misremembering a scene from New Avengers #7 (2005), where the Wrecker looks a lot like Absorbing Man until he suits up.

Still, I think I can come up with a few other examples where Bendis was willing to chase his own ideas no matter what the wikis had to say about it or how off-pitch the characters' voices sounded as a result. There was a bit I discussed once about the Beast's remorse levels...but let's not go back into that one.

Thing is, though, I actually like most of Bendis' work, certainly more than his vocal critics, so this is more of a gentle tweaking than anything else.

Now would be the perfect time for Deadpool to teleport in and leave a bunch of stab holes in Killgrave to remind him who gets to play with the fourth wall in these parts.

DEADPOOL: Time for a lesson in consent. Plum guy, do you consent to being shot?

PURPLE MAN: Er, no, of course not.

DEADPOOL: [unloading a clip into him] Sucks when your consent is violated, huh?
