Another Question That Others Dare Not Ask

Some people ask the easy questions, about Marvel and DC mash-ups (OK, we did that here at Slay Monstrobot, too).

Some people spend their time whining about how surprisingly awful Justice League: Cry For Boredom is (hmmm, we do that here, too...damn, are we in a rut, or what?!?).

But once again, here at Slay Monstrobot, we ask the hard questions no one else dares ask.

Let's say, just for example, that you're Satan (yes, that Satan)...

Coming soon to an Epcot near you...and you've just possessed a young women so you can use her body to go hunt someone down in the mortal world:

Satan, written as a Marvel villain, possessing an Indian chief's daughter. God bless you, 1970's Marvel(By the way, good pick-up there, Disney--now you own Satan!!)

Anyway, in such a situation, what is the ONLY thing about your plan that could go wrong?!?

A) Satan's mini-skirt will draw unwanted attention

B) Marvel will go all cowardly cutlet during the story and suddenly change you into Mephisto or Sattanish or some other lame-ass attempt to do a Satan story without getting the blowback for doing a "real" Satan story (No, no, it's not Satan--it's Sattanish!!)

C) Because you've possessed a Native American, your plan will be defeated by rampant ethnic stereotypes

D) You might forget to disguise your voice

Let's see the answer, shall we?

Satan got backYes, that's right, the only "disastrous" outcome would result from using the "raspy tones of Satan":

Because hospital security would be such a threat to SatanBecause, Satan--the Prince of Lies, the Inventor of Deceit, the Source of All Evil--apparently might forget to disguise his voice during an important charade. And some nurse might figure it out.

Editor's note: some of us though, might fight the raspy tones of Satan coming from a girl to be...well, kinda hot:



Disney's latest purchase brought to us in Ghost Rider #1 (1973), by Gary Friedrich andTom Sutton. Suzanne Pleschette, of course, brought to us by heaven...

Please note that now that Disney owns Satan, depictions of devil characters by other corporations or entities will be required to wear pants to distinguish them from the Disney-owned character. Ministers, priests, imams, rabbis, etc. will be required to note in sermons that the devil they're discussing is not Satan. A disclosure notice in the weekly church bulletins will be sufficient.
