Romans reading modern comics, a thread:

X men? I could easily defeat twice as many, don't know what this Magneto guy is complaining about.

Professor X? What happened to professors I through IX?

So you're saying he changes his appearance slightly and now nobody recognises him? Are you sure he's not called Odysseus?

Iron Man? Surely there's a Bronze Man who could whip his ass?

This Loki sounds great, do you think we could merge him with Bacchus and make a new cult?

Batman? Please tell me this isn't an extra chapter to Ovid's Metamorphoses

You call him Hawkeye and yet he is obviously Apollo having a laugh

Calendar Man?? Do you mean Julius Caesar?

The Fantastic Four? Look, we tried a triumvirate, twice, and look how that went. Four is just ridiculous.

You call them the X MEN and yet clearly one of them is a cyclops, flagrant false advertising.

Catwoman? Oh god what have the Egyptians come up with now?

Hmmm Human Torch? I seem to recall seeing a few of those at Nero's banquets

Doctor Strange? I'd agree, medicine is for wackos (and Greeks)

Aquaman defends the Oceans? Oh well I don't remember him turning up when Caligula attacked!

Wait, so these "Avengers" are run by a Fury? I ain't messing with them!

A winter soldier? I hope he gets paid double, fighting is for the warm season

Hellboy? Oh did those two down there finally have a kid? He must be so cute...

Ant Man? Who is coming up with these, Herodotus??

Oh and there's a Wasp too. Sounds like Virgil is collaborating too

Ah Two Face, good to see a real Roman god like Janus getting involved

John Constantine? Is there anything they haven't named after that guy??

The Riddler? Sounds like a less interesting Sphinx. If you're not made up of at least 3 different animals, you've got no business asking riddles

"V for Vendetta? You're gonna need a lot more than that to overthrow the government!"
