And on a lighter note...

I was watching X-Men yesterday and thought, who makes all of these crazy gadgets, and equipment that super heros and super villains use? I'm not talking about the movie props & special effects people. I'm talking about in comicbook land. Who made the handcuffs that Magneto used to cuff Rogue to the Statue of Liberty power amplifier thing?

The hero/villain or someone on their team usually make the big important stuff, weapons, ruby sunglasses, team uniforms, etc. Is there some sort of super hero/villain supermarket? "Bluelight special on all plasma based weaponry, on aisle 4A".

As far as I can tell ACME CO. already has an exclusive contract with the Coyote in regards to capturing one elusive Road Runner.

So anybody got any ideas who is behind the scenes making this equipment? Batman couldn't be making all of his equipment, he has to protect Gotham and be Bruce Wayne how could he have the time to make the small expendable stuff. And c'mon are we to believe that the Monarch is capable of building a floating cocoon fortress? He was shopping at the Venture Compound yard sale, and I'm pretty sure Dr. Venture didn't make it.

Any ideas? Any at all?


I'm not against comics at all, I enjoy them quite a bit. This is just a random post that might provoke some responses. Like a Beatles deathmatch who wins and in what order do they die?
