American Comics: Ranking the Top Ten Kings of Bluster from the Start!

Shen Lan had united the myriad worlds and was so invincible that he was bored.

Then Strange made a mistake while casting a spell, and the resulting confusion in the Marvel Multiverse caught his attention. He pinpointed the timeline of Iron Man 2.

"I've suddenly come up with a fun idea."

Shen Lan gathered everyone in a dimensional realm and played videos one by one: "The Top Ten Kings of Pretentiousness," "Captain America's Rants About Everything," and "The Marvel Matchup Chart." From the perspective of an audience watching them, he observed how the superheroes who had once appeared on screen reacted.

Banner: "So not everything Hulk does is wrong..."

The Ancient One: "Honored Lord of All Worlds, may I ask... what does 'died because the special effects were too expensive' mean?"

Stark: "Aww! You love me three thousand times? My daughter's so adorable!"

Strange: "I only asked to negotiate. Was it really necessary to keep picking on me like this?"

Thanos: "Since my plan's been exposed, I won't pretend anymore. I'll come clean: I am destiny!"
