Marvel’s new villainess
Dramatis Personae
Joe Quesada, Marvel Comics editor-in-chief
Ed Brubaker, writer of Captain America
QUESADA: The wingnuts are all over me for tying-in the teabaggers with those white supremacists. What were you thinking? Don’t you realize these people read comic books? My God, that’s probably all they read.
BRUBAKER: I’m sorry — I didn’t think they were smart enough to figure it out.
QUESADA: Well, even a blind frog can catch a dead fly once in a while. From now on, no politics. Agreed?
BRUBAKER: Agreed.
QUESADA: So, what do you got going for the next issue?
BRUBAKER: I’m introducing a new villainess: the wicked Queen Nilap.
QUESADA: Nilap?
BRUBAKER: Yeah, she’s part-Siren, part-Medusa, and controls the supremacists through code in her speech and through secret words written on her palm.
QUESADA: Wow. She sure sounds menacing.
BRUBAKER: You betcha!
QUESADA: How can Captain America possibly combat such evil?
BRUBAKER: By ruthlessly mocking her.

I’ll bet Queen Nilap has big boobs, too. All the women in comic books have big boobs.
