We wouldn't want Stilt-Man actually <i>making off</i> with Thor's hammer, would we?<br /><br />Anon, I can only guess that with Stilt-Man's ability to bend his stilts as we've seen here, he can keep an eye on things not within his current line of sight when he needs to. (And look ridiculous doing so, I hasten to add.)<br />Comicsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10064955427593820783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-31671019447164745922020-03-22T13:27:39.605-04:002020-03-22T13:27:39.605-04:00This repeated exposure to Stilt-Man has belatedly ...This repeated exposure to Stilt-Man has belatedly got me really wondering about his costume/armour design. That half-bucket on his shoulders would make anybody nuts with all peripheral vision lost. "What the holy hannah is that behind you??" would require any of us with that bucket to do a quick skip/shuffle to turn around and look. A guy with 40-storey legs cannot skip, shuffle, or otherwise be too nimble on his toes. <br /><br />"What's behind me does not concern the Stilt-Man!"

Extending his stilts would mean lifting the hammer and Stilty is nowhere near worthy. Better yet, attach them to him while he is tall and watch his stilts collapse.Tiboldthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03787761673589485012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-27649416230071318412020-03-20T21:22:44.483-04:002020-03-20T21:22:44.483-04:00Truly Stiltman's finest hour.

He stood up against Thor for about three minutes.<br />Of course, if Thor didn't care about not killing him, I'm guessing five seconds.<br />But at least Stilt's got a good story out of it, something to brag about in that supervillain bar those guys used to hang out in. Wasn't it the "Bar With No Name?" I would think a war story like that would be worth one drink on the house, anyway. <br />It's not like the Water Wizard, the Shocker or Killer Shrike ever had the honor of getting pummeled by Thor.<br /><br />M.P.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
