Disturbing image of the day


I promise I will lay off the Master Pandemonium imagery from now on, but I couldn't resist this panel from Avengers West Coast #52 that shows Wonder Man getting suckled by a hideous demon baby/hand. God, how humiliating that must have been for him.

If you like, here's the extra-crispy version of the panel:

Wouldn't that be Pandemowned?

Excellent.

I just like how happy MP is. He's joyful in his evil!

Really though, who's beiing more owned? The guy getting his head swallowed or THE DUDE WITH DEMONIC BABIES FOR HANDS?

Marc Burkhardt said...

I wish some halfway decent hero would take the "Wonder Man" name. Freaking out in front of the Hulk is one thing, but Master Freaking Pandemonium?

Chris Arndt said...

He got his head eaten by his crush's baby.

Drawn by John Byrne.

That's freaky.

John Byrne and babies do NOT mix. Remember the fucked up birth scene in Star Brand?

James Meeley said...

Someone needs to call Child Welfare Services on Master Pandemonium.

I mean, it's an obvious fact that you are never to allow your child/baby to get so hungry they attempt to devour another human being's head. In fact, I know that to be illegal. You are to feed them as needed and on a regular schedule.

Sadly, there are too many parnets like Master Pandemonium out there.

A friend of mine in middle school had a random smattering of comics, WCA 53 chief among them. I borroewed that short stack and must have read this comic three times in one evening. Hungry hungry handbabies were no doubt the reason.

Hmmm. Has there ever been an infant in a Byrne comic who hasn't died or been otherwise incapacitated?

hey, my word verification is "ionjak" - now that's a new Morrison superhero name if ever I heard one!

Pandemoniums hand is felating Wonder Man's face. Hmm. Definitely not code approved.

What I use to pay $1 for as a 12 year old disturbs my sleep as a 30 year old. Interesting...

All hail King Bryne!

my breath is taken away by the fucked-upitude of a guy with babies for arms using them to eat another guy's head.

Michael Brown said...

Good job, Dave! Nice to see the whole excessively creepy Master Pandemonium/Scarlet Witch babies thing was more than covered.

Excellent!

The freakiest thing about it is that Master P's hand-heads appear to be sporting full heads of hair.
Does he have really hairy knuckles that turn into mini afros in the transformation?

And somewhere in here is a SeƱor Wences joke. Dave, can you get to work on that?

corbiscide said...

I remember that the original human torch saved the day in the end. By giving Mr P the penultimate piece of his soul. This left a big hole in the middel which sucked him and the baby hands into hell or somewhere. So much for Wonder Spam. He should have shacked up with Ms. Marvel when she thought he was hot (man didn't she doge a bullet)

Dr. Spock says babies shouldn't be started on superheros until 2 years.

Shane, that is a thing of beauty.

You can make personalized ones. Just change where it says wonderman to whatever you want instead.

Did anyone already mention that Master Pandabear is obviously "getting head"? That dirty old Byrne!

I have nothing witty to add, but I wanted to note that I read West Coast Avengers and Avengers West Coast in my younger days, and I probably have that very issue (unbagged, unboarded) in a long box in my garage.

On an unrelated note, around here we pronounce it oh-HOT-mood (OHotMUDE). Just sayin'.

disturbing parts:

1. its pandemonium
2. his demon-baby-hands
3. his gigantic girlie hair
4. the smallness of Wonder-Man's head
5. Wonder-Man

I mean its MASTER PANDEMONIUM & WONDERMAN!

verif:
jhrvhz-

how Stark sounds when he calls Jarvis when he's drunk.
He needs more until he is replaced.
