The Best Gender-Swapped Comic Book Characters
Every once in a while, comic book characters are in for a serious makeover, whether it’s because sales are dragging, or there's been a fundamental change in the comic book universe that requires men to be ladies (it happens) or just simply because someone got bored and drew Batman with boobs.

“Accursed creator! Why did you form a monster so hideous that even you turned from me in disgust? God, in pity, made man beautiful and alluring, after his own image; but my form is a filthy type of yours, more horrid even from the very resemblance. Satan had his companions, fellow-devils, to admire and encourage him; but I am solitary and abhorred.'
Will StapePublished 8 years ago in GeeksWhat Your Favorite Stars Wars Characters Eat for Breakfast
Star Wars is known for being groundbreaking and innovative in many, many ways, but I think it’s safe to say that delicious intergalactic cuisine is not one of them. From those nasty space frogs Jabba slurps up to that fish stick thing Yoda finds in Luke’s mess kit, most Star Wars food looks pretty unsavory. Exceptions: when Darth Vader shows up on Cloud City, he appears to be seated at a banquet table of acceptable looking dishes, and the granola bar stick that Leia shares with Wicket looks ok. Also, try to honestly tell me that you've never wanted to try blue milk (my research tells me it’s actually Bantha milk, which I think just put me off the idea forever). Generally speaking though, I think the characters from Star Wars would be thrilled to try more palatable foods from our world if they had the chance. Here’s what some of your favorites and mine might eat for breakfast on an imaginary vacation to planet Earth.

Whenever you grew up within the long (long) career of The Undertaker, you probably thought he was pretty cool. Heck, you most likely thought this even if you were an adult. The Undertaker’s gone through a few different phases of his character over the years, but, through everything, he’s always stayed cool. Apparently the combo of black leather and vague necromancy just has that timeless appeal. And the man can roll his eyes right back in his head ---- c’mon, that’s pretty impressive all on its own.

Calculating who the richest comic book characters are can be extremely difficult. The wealth of some of these characters would need to be adjusted for inflation. For others, their true worth has never actually been mentioned. Because of this, accounts of each character's wealth tend to differ. With this in mind, this list of the richest comic book characters appears in no particular order.
Patricia SarkarPublished 8 years ago in GeeksThe Funniest Star Wars Parodies, Spoofs, and Sketches
When it comes to Star Wars humor, there is seriously a LOT to choose from. Robot Chicken Star Wars, Jeffrey Brown's Vader's Little Princess and Darth Vader and Son, and a plethora of hilarious Star Wars t-shirts didn't even make my final cut (but go check them out too). The short and long videos, Twitter accounts, comedy sketches, and art that you'll see below are my favorites because they keep the spirit of the canonical films without taking things too seriously. Some are new on the scene, some are old classics, but each of them is another great way to enjoy the best movies ever made.

While the hysteria that is Pokémon GO only began a few short months ago, it’s trending power has significantly lessened since then. While still more popular than Tinder, and once surpassed Twitter in daily active users, it’s not surprising that a fad that came on so quickly would loose it’s steam in the same way. Despite its drop in success, the game has only helped fan the fire of augmented reality.
Alysha DePernaPublished 8 years ago in GeeksSweet Revenge: Watch Underdog Girls Weaponize Dessert
There’s more than one way to have a food fight. Sure, sometimes flinging your lunch around the room can be a blast, but you don’t have to get covered head to toe in mashed potatoes to have a good time - and get what’s yours. When it comes to taking edible revenge and showing the bad guys who’s boss, geek girls are the best at getting creative. I mean ANYBODY can have a food fight, and a lot of people can have a pie fight, but smashing a chocolate ice cream cone into a cheerleader’s clean white uniform? That’s style. It’s definitely a dirty fight when food’s involved, but an underdog girl has gotta do whatever it takes, no matter how messy the method. Enjoy the following clips from movies where underdog girls (and women) used sugary treats in many forms to stick it to the man and get sweet, sweet revenge.
Sarah QuinnPublished 8 years ago in GeeksMost Anticipated Comic Book Movies
Ever since X-Men blew up in the cinema in 1999, many studios have green lit a number of comic book adaptions that have quickly become the most anticipated comic book movies. It is no surprise that DC and Marvel lead the pack and have consistently delivered faithful, and sometimes not so faithful, movie adaptions that bring out the best and worst of the critics and fans. These movies have been the staple for the summer box office, and the offerings don’t seem be stopping any time soon. Thanks to these movies, everyone knows at least a handful of comic book super heroes, and they are clamoring to see them—and Batman—fight the bad guys. From the upcoming Spiderman Homecoming to The Justice League and all the way to Deapool 2, we will take a look at some of the most anticipated comic book movies.

Matt CatesPublished 8 years ago in GeeksThe Funniest Harry Potter T-Shirts
This is a pretty solid list of the funniest Harry Potter t-shirts out there, which makes me ask myself, "WHY is this all there is?" I mean really - the Harry Potter series has HUGE potential for developing funny t-shirts (which I firmly believe are one of the three most important components of anyone's wardrobe, along with "comfortable pants" and "at least one jacket that makes you look like you're ready to fly a B-52"). The business opportunity's out there, people. Somebody get busy. I personally would like to request a shirt depicting the scene where Voldemort hugs Draco. Most. awkward. hug. EVER. (What about the part where Ron forgets that he doesn't actually have a wife? What about the part where Ron dances with Professor McGonagall? What about his entire relationship with Lavender and how she calls him "Won-Won?" What about everything that Ron has ever said or done, on a t-shirt?)
