Wow. It's really...LITTLE...in comparison to the rest of him. I just keep staring at Captain America’s “little black box.” Wow. It’s really…LITTLE…in comparison to the rest of him.

Why does a telepathic/telekinetic need cargo pants? It's not like they were ever about to be killed by Omega Red and Professor X was like "Hey, too bad nobody has some anti-russian dohickey that we could use to kill Omega Red" and Jean Grey was like, "Oh, I've got one of those in my pocket" and saved the day. It's insane! Stupid Rob Liefeld's influence! CARGO PANTS!!! Why does a telepathic/telekinetic need cargo pants?

I just thought that was a starfish raping his face. That Liefeld pic is freakin' awesome, but to count as a true Liefeld design Cap needs, oh, SEVENTY BILLION pockets. (Sad aside, recall that Liefeld's ridiculous popularity caused better, more sane artists like Jim Lee to adopt similar totally retarded character design techniques. Remember the ridiculous cargo pants Lee gave Jean Grey? Yeah, those were bad times.) Sunfire is wearing a mask? I just thought that was a starfish raping his face.
