Solid proof that Tony Stark is still a delusional and foolish drunk... (an Iron-Man comic spoiler followed by meaningless rants ahead!)

"Say hello to Madame Hydra.

Other aliases include The Viper, Leona Hiss, Merriem Drew, and Ophelia Sarkissian, which just might be her real name.

This footage is from the time she hijacked our helicarrier and tried to crash it into congress during a presidential address. That she almost suceeded tells you all you need to know about her threat level.

She commands the most dangerous cell of the deadliest terrorist organization on earth. We know exactly where she is. We know she's actively planning Hydra operations that would result in the death of thousands.

And we can't lay a finger on her.

We can't touch her because she is also ruler of The Principality of Madripoor. A sovereign island nation. Meaning she can do pretty much whatever she pleases, and unless we catch her personally engaged in provable terrorist activities..

..there's not a damn thing we can do about it."

My God, Tony! Aren't you the leader of the most advanced and sophisticated intelligence agency on the planet? Aren't you the so called futurist, one of the brightest brain among us mortals who designed the famous Iron-Man armor? That's the best you can do?

Have you ever heard about Irak?

Of course with all that technology, you can simply manufactured some kind of proof to legitimate the war with the country? It was just a small island nation, for god's sake! You can simply parked your oversized flying raft there and occupy 3/4 of their landmass! Just tell the other that they have some weapons of mass destruction. The Americans and the Marvel fanboys will believe you anyway..

Oh hell, who am I kidding? You said you KNOW their plan. That should be good enough of a reason. Just veto the UN and send your troops there and hang that goddamn Madame Hydra already!

Grrr.. gemas gue sama si Marvel ini. Ceritanya yang keren suka bikin ilfil gara-gara mereka terasa seperti PR-nya pemerintahan Bush. Iron-Man yang menangisi para korban 9/11 dan mengutuk tindakan para teroris, sementara beberapa edisi lalu digambarkan menumpas teroris Jemaah Islamiyah asal Indonesia. Komik Captain America pun sedang menggambarkan komunikasi batiniyah Cap dengan tentara Amerika yang sedang berperang di Irak. Maunya bikin referensi cerita yang realistis, tapi malah ngeselin...
