They nearly gave a mad Soviet scientist Firestorm powers during the Cold War. Come see How Did This Get Made LIVE in Anaheim as part of the Now Hear This Podcast Festival. There were over 2,000 gods in ancient Egypt because there was a lot of work to do. For him, they are two completely separate issues. The Amorites worshiped other gods and participated in numerous other sins. They aren’t humans. This is, superficially, also reasonable. These included the sun god Ra, the creator god Amun, and the mother goddess Isis. What was the sphinx saying? If she still wants Deadpool, I’d go with Brian Posehn and Gerry Duggan’s recent run, which is fun and funny and makes Deadpool an actual character as opposed to a homicidal Looney Tune, which he often gets relegated to. With a team like that, it's no wonder that "Gods of Egypt" received such dismal … They spend tons of money on movies that sound awful and are awful, and that you’d have to be completely out of touch with reality to believe would ever work. Those Time Masters seem to be a large group of administrators like the Guardians of the Green Lanterns. And, because James is a good person, of course he doesn’t want to have to lie to Lucy.

Oliver’s refusal to tell pretty much anyone he was Green Arrow on Arrow; Barry’s long refusal to tell Iris he’s the Flash even though at least dozen other people knew, some of them villains.

If she trusts your judgment—or tries Deadpool comics and isn’t satisfied—I can’t recommend Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, Ms. Marvel, Batgirl and the new Black Canary enough. All they’re worried about is protecting the timestream, which, as Rip points out, is kind of useless when most of humanity is dead anyways. Paul also appears on Fresh off the Boat on ABC.
