Friday Night Fights! Villainous Victory! Cap's No Mas!



Stan Lee wrote a blooper back in 1967, in which a Jack Kirby/Joe Sinnott-drawn Captain America rises up for the final confrontation with the "Mecho-Assassin" of the tale. The blooper comes after the bombastic beat-down Cap receives initially, fulfilling tonight's FnF villain-wins action quota:



Below is Cap's "no more" blooper statement. Obviously actions speak clearer than words in this case.

Friday Night Fights! Villainous Victory!



In issue 7 of the above title, the titular "hero"-villain Slade Wilson is written by his creator Marv Wolfman and ably drawn by Steve Erwin and Will Blyberg as the physical superior to the almighty Batman. This scene so rankled some that, years later, DC Comics hit the re-set button and had Batman easily defeat Deathstroke in their "first" meeting. Revisionist history. Here's the truth:



That's what you call a definitive knock-out, folks. Believe it or not, Batman got up from this, shook it off, and was exactly the same Batman as he was for fifty years prior. It wasn't until recent times that every single conflict in comics had to have lasting repercussions from one mega-event to the next. Used to be Batman could get knocked out and he was still the baddest dude around. Sadly, nevermore.

Friday Night Fights! Feet of Fury Edition! Smell my Foot!

Click it, donkeys!




Good old Jack Kirby muscular man-beef burliness here. And Stan Lee's operatic dialogue enhances the ferocity of the struggle, giving you a sense of the battle of thews going on here. This all happened WAY back in ASTONISHING TALES issue number 1, cover dated August of 1970, which means with "lead-time" that this book was put in the can around May of 1970, which would be about the time that my mom and dad were getting it on in a Corvette at the local Drive-In, behind the Virginians movie theatre, and one of a billion rampaging microscopic Carters raced toward a destiny with my mother's ovaries!

History in the making, folks!
