No, it's not at all. This is total nonsense. If anything, superheroes are usually persecuted by the government.

Spider-Man specifically is literally an outlaw.

And look at the X-Men. Half the time the gov wants to wipe mutants out.

Maybe you can say that about Captain America, but he was created to defeat the Nazis. So yeah, who the fuck is not on the government side in this situation?

And when the gov became corrupt, Captain America became an outlaw.

So whoever is upvoting this and whoever created this doesn't know much about Marvel or comics.

I mean I don't know that much, but I know the bare minimum to know this is nonsense.

If I remember correctly, he does talk about his drug use in that book. He even talks about drinking mouthwash at one point because he was that much of an alcoholic.

He said that, on the fateful day, he was far from Central Park — on his way to a “falconing” excursion in Goshen, N.Y. — when he witnessed a woman in a van fatally strike the bear. He said he scooped up the dead bear and put it in his own van, planning to later skin it and eat it.

Wtf??

Hours passed, Kennedy said, and he ran out of time to take the bear home before catching a flight. As he told Barr, he and some people he was with — he said the others had been drinking — came up with a plan: abandon the bear and an old bike, which happened to be in Kennedy’s van, in the park, taking advantage of the fact that there has been a rash of bicycle accidents recently in New York.

Wtf.... why? Is that what rich people do to pass the time? I could imagine a bunch of drunk college frat dudes doing this, but he was 60 years old when this happened!

I get what you're saying, but let's chill out on the infantilization of women.

A 20-something-year-old woman doesn't compare to a 12-year-old.

And maybe the 20-something-year-old woman hitting on you just wants to have fun and is not thinking about anything working out with you. Presume much?

But sometimes you have to invade to defend.

How would you defeat Hitler without invading Germany or all the countries he occupied?

Looks to be around the beginning of the 90s or late 80s.

Yeah, but you still have a 99.999....% chance of not getting your dick amputated on any given day as a Brazilian.

It's still a minuscule chance of getting your dick amputated due to penile cancer. Penile cancer itself is extremely rare. Less than 0.01% chance.

"NewsBreak", a free app with roots in China that is the most downloaded news app in the United States.

Never heard of it. Hard to believe it's the most downloaded news app. I guess I'm out of touch.

Turning 43 this year if you take the common 1981 as the cut-off.

They need something like this for colonoscopies.

If there was a way to test it at home, I'm sure a lot less people would die from colorectal cancer.
