--there's just no good place to change into costume.Secondly, when you go to visit your old friend, who lives two hundred miles from Atlanta "in the swamp,"--
--you've got to deal with the occasional drunken redneck.Finally, when you uncover a dog-fighting ring there, you invariably discover that your old friend is involved in it--
--but you still have to break up the ring, because, you know, dogs--
--so you end up destroying the local economy, and losing your old friend forever.Lesson? Super-heroes, avoid Georgia!!
Michael Vick obviously never read Marvel Super-Heroes #12 (1993). Or, maybe he read it and was inspired by thoughts of bolstering beleaguered economies...

Marvel Super-Heroes' disposable inventory stories are really awful aren't they? Every time you talk about them, it's a document in how the 90s handled "relevance".
Dude, you don't know the half of it. That same issue of MSH had a Doctor Strange story dealing (metaphorically) with the evil of alcoholism and an Iron Man story dealing with hackers...
For the record, the Falcon story was scripted by Dwayne McDuffie, from a plot by George McNeill. Many of the MSH stories were credited as "from a plot by." I think the standard procedure was to have someone come up with a plot, send it to an artist, and don't bother to script it until they were ready to publish...
The Marvel Method, but taken out of the more collaborative area of the bullpen.
