The Strongest Duo (ft.pumpkin)

Most of the undead mobs in Minecraft vanilla wear pumpkins on Halloween, so why not if The Undead King and the Monster of Lost Souls join them?

I totally forgot that I hadn't posted this here sorry.

Planescape Torment was insane for featuring the most heartbreaking flashback scene since the beginning of the game in a place with circus music playing 24/7 in the background

0135: Defenders #20

Cover Date: February 1975 On-Sale Date: November 19, 1974

After two issues in Marvel Two-In-One, the Defenders plus the Thing move to the Defenders title to finish their adventure. The first few pages serve as an epilogue to the Marvel Two-In-One story while Ben joins them for the remainder of the issue. Val continues to explore her identity crisis with some returning bad guys.

Our story begins directly after end of the Defenders' and the Thing's battle with the Enchantress and the Executioner, who are lying about after being clobbered by Ben and Val is sad looking at her deceased dad, Alvin.

The Executioner wakes up and immediately gets into it with the Thing. He's about to plow down Ben with a tree when he's stopped by the Enchantress. Executioner is confused, but Enchantress says "I've had enough. We're outta here!" And they go.

Turning to Val, he offers to take Alvin's body into the Fantasticar and bring him wherever, but Val violently refuses and says she'll carry him herself into Cobbler's Roost. Putting Dragonfang away, she's back in her snappy outfit and ready for some heavy lifting.

Ben is about to head home when Doc's ghost tells Ben that he's been being the peeping tom. He thinks Ben should stay put. For once, someone complains about Doc's voyeuristic activities.

Ben agrees to stay for a bit and takes a nap. Ben then catches up the readers with the events of the last few issues by dreaming about them right up to the first page of this story. How convenient!

Meanwhile, Val has arrived at Cobbler's Roost and is recognized while walking to the sheriff's office. The man who recognizes her thinks about Van Nyborg who started the whole Nameless One/Barbara Norris going insane thing. Insert dramatic music note here.

The sheriff is kind and sympathetic to Val, thinking she's Barbara. The coroners take Alvin's body away and Val walks around town where she was apparently well known to everyone who express their surprise and have kind words for her. Val and the sheriff have lunch when he lets slip that Val, as Barbara, was married! Next dramatic note.

The sheriff takes Val to her (Barbara's) father's house where she asks to go in alone. We switch cameras to back to Ben where Doc has arrived physically and brought Nighthawk in tow. Ben's a bit grouchy after being woken up and asks about the Defenders thing. Nighthawk's description is less than impressive as they all fly to their destination.

Back at Val's Dad's place, Val feels at home when she is suddenly struck down by someone calling her "Sister Barbara" and wearing a cape with a funky collar. Yeah, it's Van Nyborg and Val/Sister Barbara is his prisoner.

The rest of the Defenders and Ben arrive at the house. Ben and Nighthawk suddenly fall through a trap door and are greeted by the dude that was following Val earlier. "Where's Strange? There was supposed to be Strange?" He's not asking for a hooker. Ben tries to escape but the walls are electrified. Above, Doc is trying to blast through but can't seem to get through. Entering the house he finds a portrait that looks like an older Val. The name below the frame is Celestia Denton. Whoa! Celestia is the name on the magic harmonica! Another piece of the mystery falls into place.

Doc doesn't get to revel for long. He too is struck down by Van Nyborg and chained to an altar next to Val.

Van Nyborg is nothing if not consistent. Once again he tries to bring the Nameless Ones into Earth's dimension and I think writer's are stretching loopholes to let them through. Van Nyborg introduces a guest star. It's a very deformed Celestia Denton! The Nameless One saved her from death and now she's offering her daughter to them as a sacrifice. One has to wonder about this mother-daughter relationship.

Nighthawk and the Thing manage to escape their room by finding a wall that's really an illusion and arrive at the altar just as the Nameless One is starting to enter our dimension.

Ben and Nighthawk start clobbering the cultists while the captions narrate the tale that all the events surrounding Val/Barbara have been manipulated to bring forth this moment. Ben is a random factor not present in the cult's calculations. Celestia has the magic harmonica, but Ben grabs it from her and destroys it. Celestia dies along with her namesake musical instrument. Ben then frees Doc and Val from the altar. The battle is over. Doc hypnotizes the cultists and sends them on their way. Yup, there's that pesky lack of consent thing again! Doc says there's lots to be sad about, but by destroying the harmonica, Ben set the destiny of the cosmos back on its correct path.

This is good mostly because we start unravelling the mystery of Barbara Denton/Norris. First introduced in The Incredible Hulk #126 as a naïve cult member, she's been closely tied to the Undying Ones and the Nameless One. There's lots of family drama and because it's Val's story, she's the only one with character development.

Having Val's fate arranged by the Undying One's cult is a clever idea. Sending her into their dimension, forcing her mating with the Nameless One, being driven insane by their separation and being transformed into an Asgardian goddess was arranged to transform her into a proper sacrifice. Revealing this in captions as the heroes battle is less than great execution.

It's likeable but not loveable.

Who is the The Nameless One, the False Chosen One, the Anti Christ, the Breaker of Fate?And what is "NAME" mean? Who is that?

The Nameless One is the protagonist of the Excellent video Game Planescape Torment (he is my avatar). The plot of Planescape torment is that the Nameless One did something so horrible deep in the past that he feels like he cannot redeem himself for (Hell is a real place in the D&D universe). So he attempted to get complete immortality in order to buy himself enough time to redeem himself. However the process meant that every time he died, he would come back without his memories Tabula Rasa, which meant that he often would just...continue to do evil acts. The plot of the game is getting him to finally die (great game, inspiration for my new favorite Game, Disco Elysium)

in my D&D world, the crime he committed led to the breaking of fate, which caused massive consequences for the world at large

0082: The Incredible Hulk #126

Cover Date: April 1970 On-Sale Date: January 5, 1970

This story brings the first appearance of The Undying Ones to a close. It's also the first appearance of bot Doc and The Incredible Hulk in the glorious 1970s. It also introduces Barbara Norris who will lead to a lovely character we all know and love as The Valkyrie. And finally, it introduces us to a new villain name Nightcrawler that isn't a furry blue elf. This is a Hulk story so Doc doesn't show up until the final act.

Bruce Banner is unconscious having just fought The Absorbing Man as his other green dude self. A group of cultists who decided that a battle between Carl and the big green would be a good show to chomp down some popcorn by. Afterword, the kidnap Bruce and take him to an oddly colored, creepy structure called Cliff-House.

Inside a man named Von Nyborg rattles on about the stars being right but not for long. Yup, Roy is still channeling Lovecraft with this story. The cultists throw Mr. Banner on some sort of alter and give him some Vapors of Valtorr. These are what may or may not have attacked The Ancient One in Doc's origin depending on what version you read.

We cut away from the funny dressed and leggy cultists to join General Thunderbolt Ross doing some Hulk hunting. It doesn't really involve the main story so I'll skip over this. So let's get back to the funny dressed and leggy cultists who strapped Bruce to a giant lazy Susan. They want him to change to the Hulk, but Valtorr's finest have robbed him of that ability. If you ever wanted to see the Hulk with whisky dick now's your chance.

The lazy Susan starts whirling around REALLY fast. This is no ordinary kitchen gadget. Von Nyborg name drops a load of mystic entities in an incantation and Bruce flies off the giant lazy Susan to... somewhere else.

Bruce isn't somersaulting directly into The Undying Ones realm. They're sending him into a nearby dimension to meet... the Nightcrawler. Now this isn't the fuzzy elf X-Man who is still a few years away from being introduced. We briefly look into The Undying Ones dimension where Doc is being held prisoner in a weird pink device. Fortunately, The Nameless One has two heads and each one seems to have it's own personality. He can argue with himself without having to interact intelligently with lesser beings. One head frets will Von Nyborg free them in time while the other assures him they will or they can take the bypass through the Nightcrawler's realm if the stars go wrong.

We turn back to Bruce trying not to Hulk out in Nightcrawlers realm. Roy spends a page allowing Bruce to admire the wonders of the realm and then our baddie shows up.

Nightcrawler seems to have clad himself in an Asgardian seconds sale with knockoffs of The Destroyer's armor and Odin's scepter. Back on Earth Barbara is having second thoughts. Von Nyborg is doing the peeping Tom thing into Nightcrawler's dimension and seeing that Bruce isn't quite doing what they need him to do. Von Nyborg kills two birds with one stone by sending Barbara to Nightcrawler and Bruce. She doesn't even get the fun of the giant lazy Susan!

He gets rid of something annoying and Bruce has a damsel in distress to protect from Nightcrawler.

Bruce Hulks out and he and Nightcrawler get down. Nightcrawler projects some sort of darkness from his scepter which blinds Hulkie. We spend the next page and a half with Hulk flailing around in darkness in a cool negative image thing.

The colorist was probably grateful for the break only having to lay out some minimal Ben Day dots. Hulkie eventually manages to grab one of the floating islands which he smashes. It releases light which turns Nightcrawler's realm brighter than the 80s Doctor Who's control room. Nightcrawler ain't too happy about this so he prepares to blast Hulkie. Barbara finally makes herself useful and smashes Nightcrawler's scepter before he can fire. Nightcrawler should have gone scepter shopping on Temu. Nightcrawler now prepares to off Barbara but Hulkie gets her out of the way. Now Nightcrawler is really mad and projects sonic force from the horns of his Temu Destroyer armor. Hulk doesn't like this. He claps and DESTROYES NIGHTCRAWLER'S ENTIRE FIGGIN' REALM!

Nightcrawler is like "I ain't dyin' here!" and transports everyone to the nearby Undying One's dimension. They all conveniently wind up on top of Doc's prison.

That was lucky! Nightcrawler decides he's going to claim this dimension for his own and goes to single-handedly fight every single Undying One himself.

Hulkie tries to free Doc, but he can only be released if someone else takes his place. Doc is willing to die there to protect Earth. Barbara has other ideas and hops into Doc's prison which expels him as soon as it has Barbara in it's grasp. She feels this is her redemption for helping Von Nyborg send Hulkie to Nightcrawler's dimension. Doc casts a spell to send him and Hulkie home in a cascade of yellow, orange and red.

Not only are they back on Earth and right in front of the Sanctum Sanctorum, but Hulkie has become Bruce again avoiding major damage to the streets of New York City. Doc brings Bruce into the Sanctum, gives him some clothes and says they're both leaving. Bruce is puzzled as this is Doc's home. Doc feels that maybe it's time to go back to his medical career as a consultant. Obviously he won't be working for Dr. Benton. Bruce and Doc part ways.

As I've mentioned several times before, Doc goes into a brief retirement. I don't know the real world reason for this. Doc may not have been overwhelmingly popular at the time, but he was major enough to interact with numerous Marvel Universe heavy lifters. I certainly would love to know the editorial thinking behind this decision. Depowered Doc will be absent for nearly two years. He'll be a member of the ensemble Defenders for a while. And after that he'll get book length solo adventures in Marvel's try-out book, Marvel Premiere. This will lead to another solo series. There's lots more Doc on the way!

This is a Hulk story and Hulkie does all the heavy lifting. He gets thrown into Nightcrawler's realm. He destroys said realm with a clap. (I love that one!) It's not even Doc's show once they all arrive in They Undying One's dimension. Barbara makes the heroic sacrifice and Hulk barely lifts a finger. Doc gets them home and packs it in. Definitely not Doc's finest hour. Still, it's well written and knows who needs to have the action.

The story introduces a lot of elements that carry over to the present. Nearly everyone appears again and weaves there way into import aspects of the Marvel Universe. Hulk, Doc and Namor will found The Defenders. The Undying Ones will return during the early phases of their adventures and will even drag poor Barbara along. Barbara even becomes important later on. It should be considered at least a minor key issue.
