What IS an egg-hat ?

I want to know what an egg hat is. Wikipedia is unhelpful and google suggests something which doesn't match the art.

It might be an egg in the basket, which wikipedia says is also known as an egg in the hat.

This is pretty much what I had in mind, though I agree it doesn't match the art here.

Is it still fridging when it's a villaness that gets randomly cut down?

She's a very minor character (http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix/saboteuriron.htm) and the same ish had Orka getting a hole blown through his chest by a Doombot.

Disposable woman is disposable.

It's not a classic fridging. It's more "I kill a minion randomly to show how EVIL I am!" situation.

Yeah, but before breakfast? That's just rude. If I remember this series, Grim gets the ever-loving snot kicked out of him by the good guys. They weren't updated on his current power levels, and thought they were facing him with his undead powers.

Frankly, I have a hard time caring about someone named "Saboteur" who's an explosives expert, but doesn't have her costume boobytrapped to blow up in the face of someone who kills her and/or lets a known psycho get within striking distance of her. That's just sloppy.

I don't get ape-guy. His body is furry, but why does he have a head within another head? Is that something cosmetic, like a hat that he just puts on in the morning? Or does he actually have two heads?

I don't get it.

He's a normal human wearing the skin of a white gorilla.

And in these scans, wearing a bathrobe over that.

Which is AWESOME.

Welllll

that's a bit creepy isn't it. And just think of all the care that must go into keeping a dead skin looking supple and alive, especially one with all that fur.

I am going to take your word for it. Thanks for the link but that article is a bit tealdeer and I didn't find the word "skin" in a search. :\

Okay, at the risk of sounding like a grump... I really get annoyed when writers treat the fact that a character is minor as license to write them however they please, without regards to their previous personalities or backstories. The Man-Ape is a native Wakandan and doesn't use phrases like "I dunno," and the Grim Reaper, whose motives for crime revolve around brother's death and revival, isn't the stone-cold sort who'd just kill someone for no good reason.

Then again, to be fair, I haven't read anything involving these characters in a long time, so maybe they've changed in the interim.

I don't know about Man-Ape (who the great Hudlin later made a joke before killing off), but the Grim Reaper has been through a lot of changes.

At one point he actually became a zombie who had to suck the life-force from others.

That could probably be attributed to Priest's influence, which had a number of Wakandans feeling very comfortable speaking in modern English, complete with modern English argot. Priest's version of Erik Killpower sounded fairly American, and Man-Ape has spent a good long while at this point in America being a supervillain.

What a random slaying...I've seen a lot of villains randomly offing partners and henchfolks, but that one stands out. I'm not sure why - it's a pretty typical example of the trope - Pissy Villain's pissy, HenchPartner tells him to chill, he offs them in a rage - but something about this one just feels MORE random.

Maybe it's Man-Ape's annoyance about the mess, I dunno...

Because it's man-man-lady in a room, and the one to be casually offed is the lady? :/

It's a pretty big burn when the completely amoral guys who consider killing one of their own the rough equivalent of stomping a cockroach are using you as a bad example.
