Let's see how quickly people get the joke. If nobody gets it until the end, not only will I be sad, since Marvel expected people to get this joke in the 80's, but I'll spoil it.

>>84134202
Are they supposed to be Daleks?

Look at it this way Luke. You could've arrived two minutes later and seen what else Danny got the name "Iron Fist" for.

>>84134202
That's... that's a dalek. What the fuck.

>>84134284
It's easier when somebody tells you they're a reference to something. Although, how big was Dr. Who in America back then? I was under the impression it was mostly a British thing until the 2000's.

See, THIS is when I figured out they were Daleks, when they started screaming "INCINERATE!" presumably with the same cadence they yell "Exterminate" in the show.

>>84134379
Maybe it was an idea of the writer? And I don't know. Even the japanese knew of Doctor Who in the middle 80's / 90's, so maybe americans got it earlier.

It was a niche thing until the revival. Like, there ARE people who claimed to be fans before then, and Fox DID release the 8th Doctor movie.

And here is where I realized the entire thing was a Doctor Who joke. Not-Daleks are one thing. Having Not-The Doctor in a Not-TARDIS? Yeah, they're doing it intentionally.

Well, I have to.
I'm sorry.

He also did one back when I was young enough to think he wasn't shit. It was one of those PSA comics, where Spider-Man, Storm, and Luke teamed up to fight drugs or something.
Also, I'm playing that video in the background, that fucker doesn't know who Colleen Wing is?!

And now I got to the part where Linkara is making jokes about superheroes riding taxis, and all I can think of is the time the Avengers got their government clearance revoked by Henry "I'm the Goverment" Gyrich, so they had to take the bus.

Not as big as in Britain, but the 1960s movies were a global thing and could well have been being played on TV to capitalize on Peter Cushing's Star Wars fame at the time.

Plus this was dead center of Tom Baker's run, and he was the most popular of the old series Doctors, and I think PBS may have starting picking it up by then?

It wasn't off-panel, it just happened in an unrelated book. Spider-Man, I think. His secret identity was pubically revealed and his entire family was killed, which is as good a reason as any to retire.

>>84135631
Yeah, I mean I can understand him not wanting to be a were-Superhero and doing whatever he can to stop. But just giving back the necklaces back to Bob, Abe and presumably Sun is just dull dull dull.

By 1982, Doctor Who would have been airing in the United States for ten years, finding an audience primarily on PBS and some broadcast stations in major market areas like New York's WWOR. Intriguingly, the company that had Who's distribution rights at the time offered the show in two formats: standard 25 minute episodes and feature length edits of entire serials.
