| This was fun. The Mad Hatter cracks jokes while fighting, something that I'm sure Marvel picked up on. I'd like to see a modern incarnation of this character, where he's always getting injured, because he doesn't seem to have any super powers. In the first story, he gets beaten by the crooks, more than once...read it to find out! |
