When the U.S. invaded Panama, we were on a Carnival cruise. I was worried that if the war didn't end quickly, the Coast Guard would seize the cruise ship, which was registered in Panama.

Why didn't someone tell me it was so easy for a boring MAWG to get on the show? All I needed to do was to buy 100,000 comic books. And a three-car garage to store them in.

If he keeps his presumably valuable comic book collection out in his garage, then tells the whole world where it can be found, I think we can assume he's not very smart.

But not a mint condition copy, just a good copy.

Bob made a joke about this - he said he said something in the green room about getting a comic book question. There was a scene in the 1st Captain America movie that was based on that cover.

Superman and Batman were both DC. So it's Iron Man or Captain America. I would guess Captain America because of the patriotic theme and because I think Iron Man was much later. Captain America, final answer.

Iron Man was indeed much later - his origin story (in the comics) took place in Vietnam.
