Selina adopt a new stray.. well almost ghostly cat like stray.
Selina had just finished her heist to steal some valuables cat related jewelry, even though their weren't very high in valuable, she just wanted them as a decoration.
Only to hear the most desperate yowl of a cat above between the alley that she was about to leap over.
Only to see a tiny meta cat like toddler all caught and tangled up in a gothams clotheslines screaming bloody murder was happening upon him. His desperate yowling and frantic moving getting more tangled up then isn't helping was going to alert either batman or his robin spawns any minute if she didn't do something.
So she caught the clotheslines string and caught the kid whom immediately froze upon being held. The toddler look like a batman's adopt-bait except for the white cat ears, glowing cat-like eyes, whiskers and white two tail?
Yea.. she keeping him after she untangled him.
By the time she got him with her newest stray without actually alerting any bats was surprising. She have to come up with a name after she bathe him and feed him because he is much lighter then a normal toddler should be..
Once he was clean (ignoring the multiple scars, precision cuts and v line on his tiny chest until she get her phone for photo evidences later), and clothed, she temporarily put him in a box for just 5 minutes so she can fixed him up a temporarily bed next to her bed using the numerous amount of soft pillows she have.
Only for the blood curdling scream to be heard a she panicking ran back to the living room only to see the kid stop when she noticed she was in his sight.
OH, oh no, his isn't orange cat dumb..
She decided to do a little test which was pull up the a random spare blanket from her living room, lift it up to not show her body and drop it as she seemingly disappeared.
Blood curding yowling began once more.
Yep. He is dumber then orange cat dumb..
She brought the box in her room as she fixed him up a nice temporarily bed. She brought him to her kitchen for meal time. Checking his mouth to see those pearly white teeths and fangs.
Damn she didn't had much groceries beside a couple eggs, a soda can, red strawberry wine for girls night, salmon dish she was planning to eat later, and the half eaten bread loaf she brought 3 days ago..
Selina smiled a bit as she sip her soda watching her new kid nommed the pieces of salmon that she cut up into bit size pieces. Listening to softest loud purr coming from him was music to her ears..

Chapter 3: Ravage 2099 #1
Tumblr media
Stan Lee have created many memorable characters.  I mean why do you think the Marvel Cinematic Universe exist in the first place.  He made all of them (as well as Steve Ditko and Jack Kirby).  He made SpiderMan, The Fantastic Four, XMen, Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Ant Man, Wasp, Thor, Doctor Doom, Loki, The Sinister Six, Doctor Strange, Silver Surfer, etc.  The last Marvel Hero he made before retiring from writing for Marvel for a period of time was She Hulk, IIRC.
That is until Marvel 2099, where he decided to throw his hat in the pool and use his magic to create an original hero for the line of comics: Ravage 2099.  Will this character win over the audience like many of the past Stan Lee heroes he made during his hey day?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The story opens up with a guy being chased by a police state version of the EPA called Eco Patrol for the crime of polluting.
Tumblr media
Yep, in the future society takes “Going Green” way too seriously.  How seriously?  Well apparently crimes for polluting is punishible by death.
Tumblr media
Makes you want to think twice about littering, doesn’t it?
No, this isn’t typical Eco Patrol protocols as evidenced with CEO of Eco Patrol Paul Phillip (yep, Paul Phillip cause Stan Lee can’t get enough of that alliterative names) voice displeasure in his squad killing another polluter.
Tumblr media
Y’know I hate to rip off a criticism from Linkara’s review of this comic, but fuck it the dialogue sucks.  Having Stan Lee, a writer prominent during the Silver Age, write a 90s comic was not good idea seeing how the dialogue characters are completely out of place.  I mean just read the next panel.  
Tumblr media
See what I mean?  Its not out of place for a 60s comic book character to spout out some form of exposition.  But one from the 90s, who is from the shocking future of 2099?  Consider my immersion dead.
Anyway, Tiana tell Paul the story of how her father once tried to investigate Alchemax and ended up deported to Hellrock, which is a toxic wasteland of an island where no human life can survive.
Tumblr media
Originally I was going to make fun of Tiana for telling this story to showcase how corrupt Alchmax is.  But considering how ridiculously naive Paul is, I think she should of just made a graphical chart illustrating why the company is bad.
After ignoring Tiana’s warning, Paul heads to Alchemax only to be mugged by a punch of street punks.
Tumblr media
And no the dialogue did not improve at all.  So much so that as he fights them he exposits as he fights.
Tumblr media
After kicking the gang’s ass through the power of 
Tumblr media
 Really?  You called bullshit on your hot, loyal secretary’s story about how the corruption in Alchemax led to her father’s disappearance, but when some random street punk tells you that his gunned down father “Dindu Nuffin” you believe him?  You know nothing, Paul Phillip! 
So the two head to Alchemax Headquarters to meet with Director General Anderthorp Henton on the matters of corruption in the company.
Tumblr media
Something tells he is going to fuck a bunch of holograms later on.  Anyway Henton welcomes Paul Phillip by addressing him by his last name Ravage . . . yeah I can see why he doesn’t want to be called that as its a stupid surname.  So Dack, the kid Paul bring, tells Henton the story and being an understanding company figure head he
Tumblr media
I think we all know where this is obviously going.
Tumblr media
Yep, bad guy.  And of the Bond villain variety.
So Henton called on a private conference call with the directors of the company to discuss what they must do with Ravage who grows suspicious of the company (but not really since Ravage is too much of a loyalist to Alchemax to notice their obvious corruption).
Tumblr media
Unbeknownts to him, Tiana heard the entire conversation which proves how much of a Bond villain to not check and make sure no one else is on the line in the call. 
Tumblr media
But seriously, I know she is the one who established the call but Henton could of checked to make sure none of his employees are a part of the private conference call through caller ID.  This is the future for God’s sake.  If they can have holophones as seen in Spider-Man 1099 #1 and 2, surely they would have some sort of tab that shows who is in the call just like any work meeting tool like Web EX.
Ravage meanwhile walks Dack out after blindly accepting what Henton said.
Tumblr media
Clearly this is not a comic written by an old man behind times.  I can totally relate with the main character in his rule abiding ways and civil minded attitude.
Tumblr media
As he got back to his office, Tiana tries (and fail) to warn Paul of the impending danger.
Tumblr media
But just as they are about to walk out, a Metroid crash into the bui
Tumblr media
Writer’s Note: Yes, this totally did happen!  Anderthrop sends a Metroid at Paul!  I did not Photoshop’d this panel whatsoever! Seriously, I didn’t!  I am super cereal!
The Metroid is a part of these “Mutroids” from Hellrock.  They are pretty much a whole army of Duke Nukems (the villain from Captain Planet, not the 3D Realms character) in that they want to pollute the world.  The Metroid believes that Ravage is the secret benefactor from the humans who called him to help in their cause.
After hearing that, members of the Eco Patrol now believes that Ravage is a traitor.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oh Ravage.  Did you forget that your whole department is a far left authoritarian group who refuse to listen to logic and reason, especially those that are too the contrary.  Plus this is America: anything that is different must die as evidenced with Aaron’s reaction to Spider-Vamp.
What happens next is that Ravage fights Eco Patrol.  But instead of posting pictures, I’ll just give you only the dialogue from the fight itself just to show you how ridiculous they are.
“All right, you two-bit cretins!  If it’s a fight you want -- COME AND GET IT!” Ravage shouts as he throws a chair.
“It’s easy to hit someone who’s standing still! How come your shots are wild now?  My fault!  I should’a trained you better!” he exposited as he clothesline two of the members of Eco Patrol.
“Hey, if it’s a clear shot you want -- How’s this?” Ravage quipped as he picks up a gun and shoots his attacker.
“You think that’ll save you?” said the Eco Patrol after dodging a vase thrown by Ravage.  “It might -- considering who you back into!” Ravage retorted as the guard is absorbed by the Metroid.
God the dialogue is so Silver Age-y.  Though I find it funny that the whole fight actually starts the moment Ravage throws a chair.
Tumblr media
In his office getting a message and a possible “Happy Ending”, Anderthrop watches the fight cementing his status as a Bond villain.
Tumblr media
And I mean REALLY cementing that status.  He’s going to pull that Bond Villain Stupidity of not witnessing his victim’s demise.  Don’t he know that just by missing every second of what happens increase the hero’s chance of escape?
Tumblr media
Well an explosion would of certainly do the job . . . if he pressed it a couple of seconds earlier before Ravage smashed open the window to allow for himself and Tiana to evade the explosion in time!
Tumblr media
If he kept watching the video, he could of either detonate the bomb before they got out in time or contact more Eco Patrol guys to scout the area for the surviving Paul Phillip.  Way to Bond Villain that up, Anderthrop!
The two were then seen hiding out in who I assumed Dack’s apartment.
Tumblr media
You do realize Ravage is your surname, right?
Ravage then goes to a junkyard to gear himself up with trash.
Tumblr media
And then he finds and steals a garbage truck to use as his mode of transportation.
Tumblr media
First off, I am now noticing how his dialogue have shifted from being a stick up his ass law abiding executive and now he sounds like a Casey Jones style New Yorker from the Bronx.  Second off, why did he just go to the black market to arm himself actual useful weapons instead of garbage?  Third, Ravage isn’t a fitting name to his character now.  Sure it means “beating up somebody violently”, but with that name that could apply to any hero who is a brutal fighter.  No, from now on, he shall hence forth be known as: The Garbage Avenger!
Meanwhile on Hellrock, we get a glimpse of the Big Bad of this series.  Dethstryk: Discount Doctor Doom.
Tumblr media
And that’s Ravage 2099 #1; boy that’s a step down from the last comic. The comic suffers from it dialogue of the characters which would of worked if they were made during the Silver Age or early Bronze Age, but feels out of place during this period in comic books.  The protagonist and antagonist are stupid as the former blindly follows the corrupt company he was working for and the latter is pretty much a cliche Bond villain.  And upon reading this story, it feels out of place in this universe besides the fact Alchemax is involved in the story.  But positives I would give is that unlike all the other comics in this line it’s not a future version of an established hero in the Marvel Universe and I have some fun reading it’s out of place dialogue.
But let this comic be a lesson to us all to never allow Stan Lee come up with new ideas for super heroes!
Tumblr media
Besides this whore.
Tumblr media
And these F.A.G.s (I’m assuming they’re aliens, have not watch nor read this team).
Tumblr media
And this Ahnuld.
Tumblr media
And this alternate DC Universe.  Seriously, how the hell this guy still writing even though he is way past his prime?
Next time: Spider-Man 2099 #3.  The thrilling conclusion of the origin story that in hindsight I should have covered first before Ravage 2099 #1.  DAMN YOU CONTINUITY ORDER!
